Q & A on fashion

so since the sleep monster hasn't visited me yet going to answer some questions that came in about fashion xoxo.

Q: Who inspires your fashion sense?
A: I have so many to be honest. I am however more into vintage clothing style 1950s-1970s mostly. I think it was just so simple and straight forward and fashion for women seemed so much more glamorous and classy. I adore it. So for that everyday people inspire my fashion. I may see a pair of boots and then think "oh this shirt I have at home would look great" I'm one of those kind of girls .

Q:  Favorite places to shop?
A: I never have been big on shopping. Unless it's comic books, music, etc then yea I am so into shopping then but for clothes not unless I have a special event then I will go shopping. I like to make clothes to be honest more than anything. I love the designing aspect of fashion but not the shopping aspect.

Q: You once said your Mom used to say she thought you'd grow up to be a fashion designer?
A: It is true. She used to say that all the time because I would draw outfits for my stuffed animals and sew shirts for them etc. I was way more into that. I was not a typical little girl I hated playing with Barbie etc I was more into doing other things really.

Q: Best fashion accessories?
A: It would depend what look going for. For me always, always converse. Yes, I am a converse girl I came across a pair of specially designed converse that yes will be going in my collection more than likely.  But, maybe it is a Libra thing but I do have a thing for shoes. I think can tell so much about a person by the shoes because your shoes have been wherever that person has been. I think shoes are so underrated and if could talk have so many stories to tell.

Q: What makes a woman sexy?
A: Honestly, I think it depends upon the woman. I think every woman has her own idea about what she feels or thinks is sexy it's a different concept for everybody. For me, it is garters, stockings and heels don't know why there is just something sensual about it, it makes me feel like a whole different character. But overall, I am more into natural beauty. The only time I really wear make up is when I perform and that is the most anyone will see me wear make up typically. Other times it's my lip gloss and some mascara that works for me and confidence. I think confidence and being comfortable in your own skin is a very sexy thing.

Q: Who are your favorite designers?
A: Louis Vuitton, Chanel, but really I love smaller and independent clothing designers like Dolls Kill, Make Believe Monsters, Scandal Vision, Midnight Lady, etc.

Q: Worst fashion mistake?
A: I attended an event and my dress ripped and didn't know it the whole time. By that time it was like what can you do ya know? Another thing is learning to laugh at yourself, it can't be fashion unless you laugh at yourself.

Q: Your Mom was a professional runway model, think that is why you love fashion?
A: Of course. I mean, I grew up around fashion all my life my Mum obviously was always into fashion, etc and being around it developed a love for it as well.

Q: You really hate shopping?
A: I do but I am in love with fashion that is the irony always hated shopping. I think in that aspect so much like my Papa, but really my Mum loved shopping and I never did but yes do love fashion though I am more into anything that allows anyone to express themselves in a creative way.

Q: Who inspires your costuming being a burlesque performer?
A: I think my costuming I can have more to work with because I don't do nudes so can get away with much more in a fashion sense, but at the same time be more elaborate because of that and have to give the illusion but of course Dita von Teese is my major influence when it comes to fashion in that sense. I just love the vintage/glamorous approach which is something that I also enjoy and do with my routines. But it also depends on the  music and the routine and what I am trying to express via dance as well. 

Q: Favorite colors to wear?
A: purple, red, black mainly occasionally blue I think they are just beautiful colours to wear.

Q: Make up tips?
A: I think make up should always be natural.  I really don't like to see women [or girls] with loads of make up on I don't wear much make up unless I am doing a show and performing otherwise I don't wear much at all. My Mum always told me that make up should take 5 mins or less to put on so I hold to that rule! But yea, I love lip gloss and occasionally mascara.
