Surprise Surprise

 I was Lady Gaga for Halloween!  As I said in a prior post, I love to sew around this time of year.  We had a freak storm the Saturday of Halloween weekend and it wasn't permitting me to prance around Manhattan in this get up.  It was around 32 degrees and freezing so instead I wore this:

It was Tyler's idea and a brilliant one because it saved me from being miserable in the slushy wet streets of the Meatpacking district.  We ended up at a club dancing the night away under 30 disco balls and bottle service (ooo wee fancy!)

Back to Paparazzi, I had gone back and forth in my mind debating which female pop star I should dress up as, and of course gaga won.  The battle to decide which look to do is even more difficult but I ended with the above.  It was easy enough to make in a week.  I hand drew each of the mickey mouse and ironed them on.  The shoulders had two pieces of Styrofoam wrapped in fabric.  The corset was pint with boobs and naturally I modified it to look as close as possible.  My kitchen looked like a designers nightmare for a few days but it's back to normal now.

It's also Peter's birthday on Old Hallow's Eve so to officially celebrate we went to see Conan O'Brian and I wore the yellow ridiculousness.  It was fun!
