Alot to blog about...

2010-04-19T15:38:00.014+02:00

Finally something new to blog about ^^

Well...last week I went to the fabric market and found lots of new fabrics :))) (Didn't expect anything else ^^) from snakeskin to cherries, strawberries and polkadots!!!
Can't wait to make some hot stuff from those gorgeous new finds ^^

ONE WEEK OF FRUSTRATION...
I also bought a pattern for a blouse ( I usually make my own patterns but refused to make blouses before so I thought I should try this new pattern) ...it took me 5 hours to make and I was (still am) sooooo disappointed!!! I was sooo frustrated that I wasn't able to sew the whole week...really :(
The puffed sleeves were toooooooo puffy and too long...it looked like a prize fighter :(
Not sure If I'll try to save it somehow...maybe shorten the sleeves..or just throw it away...not sure yet. But that's basically why I didn't sew anything new for one whole week..meeeeeeep

MOTIVATION COMES BACK...
Sooo last friday my friend told me there'll be a fashion show from a re-opened costume rental store where she'll be doing make-up. She also mentioned that they've been looking for a seamstress. So I showed up at the fashion show on sunday and I really loved it...they had costumes from all kind of ages...from Middle Ages to Baroque and 70's...
After the show I introduces myself to the owner of the store and asked if they're still looking for a seamstress and she invited me to some kind of job interview today...actually...more a meeting and getting to know each other :P
She showed me the costumes and OMG my heart was pounding soooo fast lol Seeing all those beatiful costumes and accessoires was just amazing!
I've worked for Operas and Musicals before so I know pretty much about costumes so this would be really fun to work with! Gotta show up on Thursday for probation and hope to get the "job".
I've been looking for a little part-time job for a long time and this would be just PERFECT!
I could work with historical costumes, I'm sure I'll learn alot and, of course, I can sew! which is the best part!
So...wish me luck!! ;)
(I've posted some pics of the fashion show below!!)

KITSCH UP YOUR LIFE...
On Saturday I found this huuuuuge turquoise alarm clock with a sparkling blue face!! I'll probably never use it as an alarm clock but I just had to have it!!! It was only 5,99€ so...why not, right? And it matches perfect the colorful cows I recently bought lol (see pic)

MOO...MOO...
Today I got my new MOO cards in the mail! Love them, though I think the colors could be a bit brighter but apart from that they're great.
They got a little add on the edge of the cards from MOO and DaWanda since they're from a collaborating special where you get 50 MOO cards for free, you only have to pay about 4€ shipping...that's all. So, I don't really care about the little ad on the side ;)
OH YEAH...almost forgot: if you order 50 MOO cards, you can also choose up to 50 designs for your cards! So each card can be different! How cool is that??? I uploaded 3 designs only :)

THE FASHION SHOW...
(sorry for the crappy pics!!!) Some girls where running so fast it was hard to take good pics lol
I know it's called 'runway' but apparently they didn't know that they're not supposed to actually run! ^^
(Please note that I have not been involved in this fashion show in any way - the costume rental, I will hopefully be able to work for, showed pieces from their fund.)

Liebe Frau DPD...

Liebe Frau DPD,
"Einfach Pakete verschicken" ist Ihr Motto, scheinbar ist das aber doch gar nicht so einfach!
Heute wollte ich Ihnen mal wieder ein paar Päckchen bringen doch schnell kam die Überraschung! Ein Gr.S Paket soll plötzlich G.M sein, und ein Gr.M Paket plötzlich Gr.L! Ich habe immer die selben Kartons, beim letzten Mal war es Gr.M und dieses Mal soll es zu gr.L gewachsen sein??? Wie kann das denn sein? Außerdem habe ich brav ausgemessen, die Maße auf der DPD Internetseite eingegeben(sogar noch cm dazugegeben!!) und die Größen wurden automatisch ausgerechnet. Kann es also sein, dass Sie einfach etwas verwirrt sind und die Größen Ihrer Paketmaße nicht mehr wissen? Anders kann ich mir das leider nicht erklären.
Jedenfalls lasse ich das nicht mit mir machen - da geh ich lieber zur Konkurrenz, der Deutschen Post.
Wenn Sie sich wieder an die richtigen Maße und Paketgrößen erinnern können, melden Sie sich doch bei mir, vielleicht bringe auch ich Ihnen dann mal wieder ein Paket oder zwei.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Die Paketfee

What are some of your design inspirations?

I get my inspirations mostly from the internet, I browse the Internet daily for new inspirations, also music videos and magazines inspire me alot! Basically anything colorful inspires me :P

Ask me anything in English or German!

Do you sell a lot to the US?

not too much unfortunately due to (to me) high shipping rates in Germany. Although I try to keep them as low as possible. I'd love to sell more to the US though! :)

What is the difference between a bustier and a corset?

a corset is made from lots of layers of fabric and mostly boned. If a corset it really sturdy and has good steel bones you can use it for waist reduction. a bustier is not necessarily boned and can be made from stretchy fabrics(like the lingerie bustiers) aswell as non-stretchy fabrics and is for prettiness only

Blog-Tag + Tattoo (German)

2010-02-21T11:55:00.004+01:00

Sonntag, Sonntag, heute MUSS noch ordentlich was genäht werden, die Aufträge müssen abgearbeitet werden aber um die Uhrzeit bin ich noch nicht allzu inspiriert, daher durchforstete ich gerade einige Blogs und bin bei TheABchan hängen geblieben.
Dort gibt's ein tolles Gewinnspiel bei dem man 10x 1/4 Teelöffel (klingt im ersten Moment nicht viel, aber man brauch ja auch nicht allzuviel davon aufzutragen um ein knalliges Ergebnis zu erhalten) gewinnen kann.

Uuuuuuuui dacht ich, wo ich doch eigentlich eine Anti-Gewinnspiel Teilnehmerin bin (ich gewinn ja auch nie was...das deprimiert halt schon!) aber hier konnte ich nun einfach nicht widerstehen.

Wenn ihr auch Lust habt besucht ihren Blog auf http://theabchan.blogspot.com und macht mit! Erzhält auch eure Freunden davon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Achja...Samstag gabs noch ein Spontan Tattoo....was heisst spontan...die Skullflower wollte ich schon lange aber kurzfristig ist ein Termin freigeworden den ich SPONTAN gefüllt habe :)
Dit ganze wird demnächst noch ancoloriert und eine ÄHNLICHE Skullflower kommt auch noch auf den anderen Arm :)

GaGa ooh la la!

2010-02-16T21:53:00.005+01:00

Sooo...I'm a bit behind schedule since I've been partying my b-day a bit too hard last friday lol
But I'm working on all orders and two outfits for Model Celina that she's gonna wear in a music video.
I can't really tell you guys much about it...not that I don't want to...I just don't really know much about it lol
She said she needs something Lady Gaga-like so I sat together with my friend while discussing my next tattoo I took a small piece of paper and a pencil stump and just made some sketches.

Well..."some" is actually overstatet lol. I made two which I immediately fell in love with and decided not to make more sketches but show them to Celina and in case she didn't like them I thought of 10000000 reasons why to love the outfits haha
But, thank god, she also loved them ^^

So here they are!

Outfit #1:
This one is a bodysuit that I'll mak from a black glossy spandex combined with a dark blue metallix spandex. I'll add lots of black pyramide studs to it and to the hood which will probably be detachable and give it a huge bow that I'll adorn with lots and lots of peacock feathers. The bow will be detacheable aswell.

Outfit #2:
This one is a 2-piece set constisting of a halter neck top made from a black wet-look spandex with a lacing at the fron and mini-handcuffs holding the neck ties.
And the hot pants will be made from the same fabric...all in black with mini handcuffs.
I'll also make a pair of black overknee socks and she'll wear it with some suspenders.

Can't wait to be done with both outfits and see her wearing it.
We're probably have a fitting by the end of the week and I'll try to take some pics.
"Try" because I'm soooooo effing forgetable lately that I cannot promise to make some...but like I said...I'll try! ;)

Hope you like em!

nananananananananana...BATMAAAAAAAAAAAN!

2010-02-09T19:25:00.008+01:00

Yay!!!
I just found some awesome Batman T-Shirts in a store and just had to buy some! I instantly had an idea for it...but not what I just made out of it...nuh uh. But since it's my Birthday on friday and we're going to party hard and wild (lol) I decided to make me a Batman Birthday dress...the cool thing is that over here in Germany it's currently Carneval so it's just perfect.
My friends will be dressing up as the Joker, the Riddler etc...very cool ^^
Oh yeah..I'll be making my friend the Riddler costume...can't wait to show you!!!

So remember this used to be a plain MEN's T-Shirt sizes LARGE..ugh...U.G.L.Y. And this is what I made out of it:

I actually wanted to wear it with my black satin underbust corset but I'm pretty sure the logo will partially disappear under the corset so I'll probably wear it either with the bow belt I got from Hamburg (as seen on the pic) or my black sequin belt...not sure yet. Oh yeah and I'm getting my hair dyed pink(Cerise) tomorrow so..YAAAAYYY can't wait. I don't really like going to the coiffeur. Glad when it's over ^^

Let me know what you think about the dress!

Embroider my life

2010-02-06T17:37:00.002+01:00

My friend will make some nice designs for me to embroider on cool Akasha clothes so you better watch out for some hot new shit I'll make ^^

Now my apartment looks like a mess cause I couldn't find the effing installation CD...but NOW I FOUND IT!! And guess what...it was tidy...I found it with all my other CD-Roms in my shelf..ARGH... Gotta clean it all up now ^^

AKASHA Make-Up YouTube Video

2010-01-25T17:28:00.003+01:00

Was just browsing Google and found this cool video Ewelina Cariati (the MUA I'Ve worked with on my last shoot) uploaded to YouTube!

1:20' shows the pics from the ROCKLESKA Photoshoot!

Watch the whole video! I love the Hello Kitty Make-Up she did! Awesome job, girl!

WHAT BOTHERS ME!

2010-01-24T23:42:00.001+01:00

I usually don't talk in public about shit like that but this is really bothering me!
There's a chick on DaWanda that purchased some items from me and numerous other sellers with 3 different usernames! In my case she purchased a longsleeve and asked me to change ...almost everything...I accepted it...she never paid and never replied to any of my mails. I know from the other sellers that she purchased items and either didn't pay them or she paid with Paypal, waited for the package to arrive, then she opened a PP dispute to get her money back but didn't return the items BUT sold it via her other username on DaWanda!

Well...of course I left her negative feedback for not paying, I know some others didn't cause they were afraid to get negative feedback back...I wasn't and of course she left me a neg.
This actually wouldn't bother me at all cause I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later but she wrote shit that is NOT TRUE! Saying I didn't want to accept a return and shit..WTF? You didn't even pay! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MISSES???

I asked DaWanda to delete her feedback cause she wrote nothing but lies...pretty sure they wont delete it and it REALLY PISSES ME OFF that me and all the other sellers sent our complains about her to DaWanda and they don't do shit about it!

Oh yeah and on one hand she's stupid cause she claimed the other 2 usernames aren't hers ..but stupid thing used the same profile picture for every account hahahaha...sure this is not you! It's just someone else with the same name, adress and profile pics...sure ;)

But on the other hand she was clever enough to purchase the item from me with her seller-username which, of course, shes hard trying to not have any neg feedback so now it looks like I'm the first one who has ever had problems with her...clever move!

You know...I love my job...I really do! I LOVE MY CUSTOMERS! I'm happy when they're happy and having so many satisfied customers is just awesome! Thats what I work for! But then...sometimes...there are people like her that are trying to get you down and that's just sad! I'm just glad this doesn't happen that often! ^^

LOOK OF THE DAY 27-12-09

2009-12-27T11:44:00.004+01:00

Hey ya'll!
I'm feeling a bit lazy and bored these days due to holidays so I created this Lady Gaga inspired look to add some GAGA-ness to my life ^^

THE GAGA SIDE OF LIFE

The Look:
Lady Gaga is known for breaking almost every fashion rule without looking silly or too slutty. She uses lots of elements from the 80s and combines it with fetish and a touch of futuristic fashion.
I used mostly black items to make this look more mysterious with a cropped 80s Style bra top combined with black velvet studded hot pants!

Make-Up:
Of course there's no Gaga look without any fancy fake lashes, so I chose some black LACE lashes! Other long and thick lashes will do too!
Make sure you use bright Make-Up! Flashy Lipstick like 'Centrifuchsia', 'Countessa Fluorescent' or even 'No she didn't' by Lime Crime would be great for a dramatic look!

Accessoires:
I've noticed Lady Gaga barely wears any necklaces but focusses more on shoes, gloves and headpieces.
The black mask fits perfect for the ultimate Lady Gaga Style and with the XXL bow headband I made you'll look 100% like her! Wear some studded bracelets or even studded gloves!
For the shoes I chose some High Heel sandals by Givenchy with lots and lots of black studs!! If you can't find similar shoes in your shoe stores just make them yourself!
YES! Pimp your shoes! :) Get some metal studs either from Hot Fix or the ones with scres and glue them to your shoes. That's it! Life can be so simple right? And Gaga ;)
Hope you like this look!

LOOK OF THE DAY featuring AKASHA COUTURE's 'LIMEY KITTEN' Top combined with a sequined vest-skirt and an uber-hip sequin Beret hat!
Classy but still Girlie and perfect for a night out or even NYE!

I chose the black glossy pleather Ankle Boots by D&G but as Ankle Boots are extremly trendy atm. I bet you'll find some similar ones in your fave shoe store aswell.
The slightly shimmer tights just add some more glam to it...but simple black opaque tights will do it too :)
If you choose to wear this outfit with a necklace, make sure it's a looooooooong one with only one pendant like this silver key necklace I chose.
You can also replace the necklace by adding a brooch to the fur vest, but DON'T choose to wear both accessoires!

TREATING MYSELF WITH SOME GOOOOOOOOOD STUFF ^^

I know I've already showed you my new clothing labels - I used the scans from the sellers blog so this time this is a photo taken by me and it shows the whole box I've received!
To finally hold them in my hands is just awesome lol and I'm so glad they turned out that good!
WORLDWIDELABELS every1!

The same day I had these wonderful fabrics in the mail!
So glad I ordered the pink one in time, now it's sold out!!! It's a wonderful and cozy hot pink sweater knit wit ha cute black herat/argyle-ish design.
The other one is a red cotton knit with black guns printed \m/(*_*)\m/
Don't think I support violence - I don't! I will turn this into some kind of 'Against-Violence' garment!
Can't wait to show you what I made out of these ones!!!

And of course some new make-up for the lady ^^
I bought these two eyeshadows from P2 from their 'Universe'' collection! I think the casing looks just like a planet in my oppinion ^^
Anyways...they're pretty hard to open though, I bought the colors '030-forbidden venus' and '060-opulent jupiter' as far as I can remember they only had one more color which was some kind of dark-bronze-colored-brown...too dark for my eyes I guess :P
And of course I had to buy my all-time-favorite 'Multi Action' mascara from Essence!
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDD yes, you may laugh at me now, cause I've just bought the first sharpener in my life! ^^ I used to either throw the blunt pencils away or I palm them off to my mom ^^

You know, even my bank account balance says -43,89€ right now, there are times you just have to treat yourself with things like that for all your hard work. Simple things that make you happy! I've been working my ass off lately and still I have nothing left but right now I don't care...it's Christmas...I'm lookinf forward to a have a few days off and as I know I don't get any presents, I have to present myself ^^
Hope you're all having a great Christmas, enjoy the holidays with your families!!!

I could so survive just by eating cupcakes all day (*_*)

HOLY.SHIT.SHOPPING 2009 (German)

2009-12-20T11:38:00.011+01:00

Soo...nachdem ich erst viel zu spät vom diesjährigen Holy.Shit.Shopping in Stuttgart erfahren habe, war es natürlich zu spät für mich einen Stand dort zu ergattern...ich hab mich grün und blau geärgert - das könnt ihr euch vorstellen. Zu gerne wäre AKASHA COUTURE auch dort vertreten gewesen! Naja....sind wir eben einfach so zum shoppen nach Stuttgart gefahren ^^

AB GEHTS!
Nachdem wir also knapp 2 Stunden lang mit Eiseskälte und meiner Heizung sowie dem angeknacksten CD Player in meinem Kitty-Mobil gekämpft haben...sind wir doch heile am Nordbahnhof angekommen *phew*
Ich erwähne nebenbei einfach mal, dass wir am Abend davor bis 5 Uhr Party machen waren und nur ca. 5h Schlaf hatten *g*
Am Eingang angekommen, dauerte es circa 5 Minuten (gefühlte 15 Minuten!) bis wir bei der Schlange auch endlich ins Warme durften um uns unseren tollen Sternchen-Stempel auf den Handrücken drücken lassen zu dürfen ^^

BLOSS KEINE FOTOS!
Von vorne rein: leider keine Bilder, da die meisten Aussteller wohl ein Problem damit hatten aus Angst vor kopierfreudigen Asiaten (??) Naja...gut...dann eben umso mehr Text für euch *hihi*
Gleich zu Beginn viel uns der riesige Blutsgeschwister Banner auf...der Stand war belagert voll kaufwilligen Leuten, die Verkäufer wohl etwas iritiert und überfordert...naja...eh nicht so mein Fall...also weiter!

Einmal um sich selbst gedreht viel uns ein toller Künstler aus Ungarn Namens Buda auf der ganz ganz tolle Bilder malt, u.a. auf Leinwand, Holzplatten, aber auch bedruckte T-Shirts, Taschen, Buttons und Taschenspiegel anbietet! *Hier seine MySpace Seite*
Triene hat sich gleichmal zwei ganz tolle Bilder gekauft für ihre *hoffentlich-bald* neue Wohnung :)

So...weiter in den nächsten Raum...uns viel sofort auf das zum größten Teil der typische...ich nenn es mal - DaWanda-Deutsches-Hausmütterchen-Stil (ohne das jetzt schlechtzureden!!) vertreten war: Fiegenpilze, Rehkitze, Marienkäfer, Tischedecken-Karo und brave Blümchenmuster. hm...da ich selbst etwas "bunter" durchs Leben laufe, hat mir eben dieser knallige Kontrast im Angebot gefehlt! Daher habe ich bis auf 2 Buttons auch nichts gekauft, schade eigentlich, da ich gerne Künstler unterstütze!

Hans Wurst...weiter zu den für mich "herausstechenderen" Sellern...mir vielen einige Bekannte von DaWanda auf...z.B. Andischu oder Cheebana(tolle Sachen!) jedoch traf man selten die kreativen Köpfer hinter den Produkten - eher Freunde/Verwandte oder sogar Angestellte waren als Verkäufer an den Ständen...für mich persönlich SEHR SCHADE!

Auffällig und super süß fand ich persönlich das Label KISSMI die mit weißen Babytextilien wie Mützen, Lätzchen, Täschchen und Buttons auffielen, da sie die wohl GENIALSTEN Drucke der ganzen Messe hatten! Keline Monster, Farbkleckse oder Pusteblümchen in TÜRKIS, PINK und LIMEGREEN (jaaaaaaaaaaa...alle meine Fave-Farben auf einmal!!!!!) total klasse, schade dass ich nich in Babysachen passe und soweit ich mich erinnern kann auch kein Lätzchen mehr zum essen brauche...zumindest meistens nicht ^^ sonst hätte die gute wohl vorab abreisen müssen, da wir ihre Ware aufgekauft hätten *g* so waren es leider nur 2 Buttons (vielen Dank nochmal an das supersüße Mädel am Stand, dass dir mir extra den türkisfarbenen Klecks-Button aus der Packung gerobbt hat *glücklich-ist*

Toll fand ich auch das Label CARRIE-ANNE...zwar auch hier wieder viele Muster, die nicht nach meinem Geschmack sind aber Carina(ich glaube, das war sie) hat uns so süß ihre Flyer ageboten, wir hätten die gute am liebsten einfach eingepackt und mit nach Mannheim genommen *g*...bei Carrie-Anne gabs einen super tollen Aufnäher(aufbügler?) mit dem Spruch "Lieber ein Fleck statt ein Loch"...oh wie passend *g*

Was gabs noch? Tolle handgefertigte Seifen mit lustigen Namen, Bedruckte Frühstücksbrettchen auf die Trienchen total abgefahren ist und gleich 2 "Liebe" Brettchen mitgenommen hat, handgefertigten Schmuck von PerlenParade (die wie ich gerade herausgefunden habe, auch bei DaWanda vertreten ist) oder bedruckte Hoodies und Shirts von YACK FOU!...geiler Name oder?

Und dann war man auch schon durch...hatte es mir größer vorgstellt,...aber nuja..Futter konnte man sich leider nur in der Eiseskälte kaufen, im Cafe waren VIEL zu wenig Sitzmöglichkeiten aber das Personal war SUPERLIEB! :)

Angebotsvielfalt: ♥♥
Preise: ♥♥♥
Stimmung: ♥♥♥

Glücklichkeitsfaktor nach der Messe: ♥♥♥♥

FAZIT: Da geht noch was! Es war schon echt cool, so viel kreative Köpfe zu treffen und tolle Ideen zu bestaunen, doch dennoch war es ziemlich einheitlich...MEHR KONTRAST BITTE! Größere Location = mehr Aussteller = mehr Vielfalt! Aber ideal so kurz vor Weihnachten um noch die letzten Geschenke zu besorgen...bitte bitte SUMMER.POP.SHOPPING nicht nur in Berlin, sondern auch in Stuttgart oder Frankfurt!!!! Das wär toll! Und 2010 dann mit AKASHA COUTURE! Verpsrochen! ;)

STUTTGART TRIP - ALWAYS WORTH A VISIT!

FLAMING STAR
Nach der Messe sind wir in die Stuttgarter Innenstadt gefahren und haben einen Stop bei Flaming Star gemacht...ich hatte noch einen Gutschein den ich einlösen wollte und Triene findet bei Florence und Melli sowieso immer etwas *g* Das Kitty-Mobil hatten wir um die Ecke geparkt...gegenüber von der Polizeiwache und wohlwissend, dass man da nicht parken darf...egal...wenn schon Strafzettel,...dann in Stuttgart Meine Errungenschaften: der pinkne Leo-Cardigan von Collectif (dem ich seit Jahren hinterherjage- in grün habe ich ihn schon) in Gr.L...der wird wohl der Nähmaschine zum Opfer fallen um ihn etwas figurbetonter zu nähen ^^, außerdem das schwarz/weiße Ringelshirt von Flaming Star mit dem grünen Skull "I sold my Soul to Rock'n'roll, sowie der schwarze Manbeater "Queen of fucking everything" einen passendereren Spruch kann es für mich gar nicht geben *g* und noch 2 schwarz/grüne Stern Haaschleifchen *GLÜCKLICH!!!!* Danach ab in dne Teeladen und noch zwei kleinere Zwischenstops bis wir ENDLICH in mein geliebtes SPAGHETTISSSIMO gingen, das wie immer rappelvoll war. Für mich: Pizza Prociutto...ein Feuerwerk!!!! Die beste Pizza EVER!!!

OCH NÖÖ...KEIN STRAFZETTEL!!!
So...ab zurück zur Karre, Heizung anschmeissen und auf die Autobahn in Richtung Heimat. NIX DA! Schon von weitem grinst uns ein weiter Zettel an meiner Windschutzscheibe an...OCH NEE...KEIN STRAFZETTEL dacht ich nur..aber der sah irgendwie anders aus als sonst...ein Mädel hatte auf die Rückseite eines Banküberweisungszettels "ICH LIEBE MANNHEIM" mit Herzchen (ja...die Herzchen haben dich als Mädchen enttarnt!) gekritzelt! OCH WIE SÜSS!!!! An dieser Stelle...wer auch immer du bist: VIELEN DANK!!! Du hast uns echt die Heimfahrt versüßt!!! Und der Zettel wird für immer im Kitty Mobil seinen Platz haben...immer wenn ich ihn ansehe gehts mir gut! *Schmatzer an die Fremde!!!*

HOME SWEET HOME
Gefühlte 3 Stunden bis wir ENDLICH in Eisenberg in der Pfalz ankamen damit ich Trienchen abliefern konnte...dann bitte bitte ganz schnell Mannheim...NIX DA! Tank leer! OCH NÖÖ!!! Aber gott sei Dank nich stehengeblieben *g* hab ins TomTom extra eine Shell eingegeben damit ich mein Tolle ADAC Karte für Rabatt zum Einsatz bringen kann....Tankstelle in Oggersheim gefunden...getankt..Eingang nicht gefunden, 5 mal um die Tanke rumgelaufen...ach...da ist er ja der Eingang...rotwerd vor Doofiness...bezahlt und SCHEISSE!!! Habe vergessen die ADAC Karte vorzulegen...MIST!!! Naja...jetzt auch egal. ab ins Auto und MANNHEIM ANSTEUERN! Kaum daheim dann die Errungenschaften ausgepackt, abgeschminkt, glücklich sein und Bettchen. What a day! xoxo Akasha

New Clothing Labels!!!

2009-12-15T14:35:00.007+01:00

I totally forgot to order new clothing labels so atm I'm using my OOOOOLD OLD OLD OLD ones lol....black with golden "Akasha" logo on it!

These ones were my last labels I used and I LOVED THEM!
But I got them from a German retailer which is REALLY expensive in my oppinion...though I really love my labels. But 110€ for 300pc is way too much! I think I'll keep the last one as a memory :)

But it was time for some new labels so I thought I should get some for my regular clothing and some for my Couture pieces so this is how they turned out:

Can't wait to receive them and sew them in the new garments I made!!!
I got these ones from Worldwidelabel on Etsy - 300pc for only $40.95 that's why I was able to order 300pc of each design this time. Gives me a little space until I have to order again next time ^^

Think I'll also order some for my Kids' clothing :)

So what do you think?...wich one do you like the most?

They deserve a home!

2009-12-13T17:09:00.022+01:00

So today we went to the animal shelter in Mannheim, Germany for their annual Christmas "party". I was really affected: last year they had about 15 dogs in the shelters...this year they had about 30 dogs!!! Plus Cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, geese, pigeons, a pony and a lamb!!!! And I bet it's getting more when some people "bring back their christmas presents". Really sad :(

If there's a shelter in your area please make sure to stop by and donate something...doesn't matter if it's money, food or toys...it all helps!

Since I already adopted Cookie last year this is how we wanted to help the animals in the shelter:
We donated 10kg dry feed for dogs, 5kg dry feed for cats, 20 cans feed for dogs, veg flakes, 2kg of dog treats, some blankets and even Cookie donated 10 balls and ropes! Good girl ^^

And here's Cookie impatiently waiting to be let out of the car!

This is what their storage looked like when we got there.

This must be the coolest bed for cats EVER!

Here are some of the dogs that are waiting for a new home

These two were sooooo cute! Very cuddly!!

I was sooo in love with this one!!! Sooo cute! He was making funny noises cause he wanted me to pet him lol

And here's Cookie playing with some new friends ^^

And this is the storage when we left 2 hours later

Tutorial: How to make a Waist Cincher

2009-12-10T14:39:00.001+01:00

HOW TO MAKE A WAIST CINCHER

So I thought I should show you the process on how I make a waist cincher, please note that it's up to you which materials you want to use! This one is just for prettiness so I used a layer of sturdy denim as the lining and the top layer is a cool Lip Service denim. I also used plastic boning and 5mm silver eyelets. If you want your cincher to be really sturdy just add more layers of fabric and use either whale boning or spiral steel boning.

Of course first of all you need to find a good pattern you want to use or make one yourself.
As this cincher is for prettiness only, I chose a pattern I made a while ago with only a few panels.
The more panels you have, the more boning you'll use and the more sturdy it gets, in case you want to make one for waist reduction.

Step 1: Serge all sides

Step 2: Decorations

Step 3: sew all panels together

Step 4: add boning

Step 5: add bias binding to the edges and be proud of yourself

Step 6: add eyelets and lacing to the back (no pic ;) )

Step 7: reward yourself and ignore all the mess around you!
Mmmmm they smell sooooo good!!!
I put some dark chocolate and heart sprinkles on top...can't wait to munch all 12 of them hahahahahaa

Thank god I don't have to clean the kitchen!!! ^^

Pic above found on uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/?p=6969

hahaha and thank god this isn't my kitchen!!!! DAAAAAAAAANG

Waist Cincher in the making...

2009-12-09T20:43:00.001+01:00

So finally some time to make new items and I just found some panels for waist cinchers I cut out ages ago!!
So I thought it's time to finally sew those cinchers...one is already finished.
It's made from a hot pink / black striped denim (I LOVE STRIPES!!!) I edged it with black shiny pleather and added 2 handmade buckles....YES...HANDMADE...I made them from a sturdy pleather and the black shiny pleather and a black buckle.
I ordered 100 different buckles on ebay for only 10€ (=$15)!!!!
Oh yeah and I've also added 2 D-Rings to the sides!
So now I just have to add the eyelets and lacing and it's done!!! woooot!!!

Oh yea and I just have to show your this awesome wallet I just bought from Tally Weijl! It was on sale for only 4€!!! And I got a matching purse for only 10€!!!! AAAAHHH!!! LOVE IT!!!

Dead by Sunrise - Secret gig

2009-10-10T19:49:00.000+02:00

Been in Hamburg on wednesday for a secret gig from Dead by Sunrise I've won tickets for!
For the ones who don't know it: Dead by Sunrise is the side-project from Linkin Park's Chester Bennington....yes...the hot guy ;)
So we arrived at the location and were wondering why there's so many ppl taking pics of...something...when we noticed...SHIT IT'S CHESTER!!! Yes! He was outside to take pics with the fans!
I was soooo excited!!! I'm a fan for almost 9 years now so that was just like HEAVEN! haha
So we took pics with him and he signed my Hybrid Theory EP. He was super nice although there were like 200 people around him and screaming his name lol

They also gave free tix to the first 50 people that didn't have a ticket yet but the ones who won tickets through the Linkin Park Fanclub were on a special list and we had to wait about 30 minutes in the backyard of the club...right next to the trash cans...yummy! But it was worth it haha!!
The door opened and the let us (the Fanclub members) in...second row! PERFECT!
Then they let in all the other people. We waited another 30-40minutes till DBS came on stage but it was ALL SO WORTH IT! They rocked! Chester looked HOT as always ^^...I was able to take about 7-8 shitty pics when my battery was empty haha....anyways...more time for Chester muahaha
He came to the crowd several times, one time, during "Inside of me" he was right in front of me, he held my hand (AAAAAHHH)...I touched his...tits...lol...yes I did...he was looking at me...damnit it felt like 30minutes but it was like...only 5 seconds or something lol.
It was just awesome! The best concert ever..just because you don't have a chance to get that close to him at a Linkin Park concert, this was a small concert, pretty intimate :P

Free tickets = ♥ ♥
Hamburg = ♥ ♥ ♥
Dead by Sunrise = ♥ ♥ ♥
Chester = ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ *1000 haha

Today's Inspiration: Katy Perry

2009-09-02T09:24:00.001+02:00

So I thought I should show you some pics that inspire me...everyday I browse the Internet and find soooo much stuff that inspires me...not only clothing. Alot of things.

Like Singer Katy Perry: I love her Style! She's bringing back the 50s and combines it with today's fashion and a rockstar-attitude which is AWESOME! Of course she has a stylist that tells her what to wear lol....which artist doesn't have a stylist? You're not a superstar if you don't have at least one stylist ^^

But I know she once bought this AWESOME watermelon romper...from a really cool Designer...Julie Mollo...below is a pic of it.

Also she did a campaing for MAC Make-up and wore a black custom made Hello Kitty leater Corset with lots of purple studs, glitter and of course lots of Helly Kitties!!!!
HOW I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!

So....Katy's definitely someone that inspires me everyday with what she's wearing.

Who knows...maybe...one day...she'll be wearing my stuff too ;)

xoxo

love u Katy!!!!

Ælice in Wønderlånd

2009-08-31T21:10:00.001+02:00

...I've never been someone who kept a diary so this is still pretty new to me and I'm still trying to figure out how to use this and I'll try my best to keep this updated!

Sooooooo...last Saturday was the shoot for my upcoming Collection called 'Fairytale in Disguise' We shot in Schwetzingen, Germany. Sandra Bilokonsky was the kick-ass Photographer and also a kick-ass MUA!!! Love her!!! She's soooo talented and knows how to set the stage for clothing! She's also very very kind, patient and funny :) like I said...luv her!

Alice Roe was the Model...she travelled from Munich to Mannheim (the second time)...already worked with her at the Jealousy is Killing Me Photoshoot and loved her! She's like a pixie...very pale skin, love her eyes! Thought she's just perfect for this "Fairytale" theme and I was right ^^

We shot 7 Outfits (as far as I can remember) some in front of a coool rusty old tractor at Sandra's house, the others at the Castle in Schwetzingen. We had lots of fun :) And Sandra even forgave me for dropping some of her make-up palletes....yes I can be really clumsy sometimes :-\

She was even UBER FAST with editing the photos! And the results are just PERFECT!

here's the first outfit called 'Ælice in Wønderlånd'
It constists of a corset, mini skirt, attachable train, hot pants, heart-shaped eye patch, and a wrap
