Daily Outfit -- 19th January 2007

[ 19 January 2007 ]


Daily Outfit, 19th January 2007.

This is what I wore to the Midsumma Fest last night in Federation Square.

<3 Druid dress by Technodolly

I bought this dress off Ebay last wear to wear at Burning Man. Technodolly is a genius & her work comes highly recommended & endorsed by me! The dress was made in colours I specified & to my exact measurements. It’s full length with a slight tail & a long pixie hood down the back. I looooove it. I actually didn’t wear it at BM a lot, but it is fantastic on & I thought a gay/lesbian festival was a good place to trot it out. Turns out I was hugely over-dressed — though some drag queens gave me a run for my money — but I was complimented by scores of saucy lesbians, so it was worth it!

I started off wearing jandals/thongs/flip-flops in the same colour as the blue in the dress, but on my way home I threw them out because they gave me blisters EVERY TIME I wore them. I decided enough was enough! Suffering for fashion is okay but it has to be worth it! Also, I <3 my bindi.


Love letters & feather headdresses,

  2. Thanks! I love mine. I didn’t design them though — my talents don’t lie in that area! The one on my right is derived from a couple of illustrations by Fawn Gehweiler (http://www.fawngehweiler.com) but my tattoo artist in NZ drew it up. The one on my right I took to Tim Kern at Last Rites in NYC & he drew it from my description. A talented artist makes all the difference!

  4. Gala,

    You are soooo funny and creative at the same time! I won’t wearing something like this in a million year bcoz I don’t dare to!

    BTW... did I mention that I love your tattoo? OMG... I’ve seen some ugly ones in my life and I still don’t have the gut to do it myself… but that doesn’t stop me staring at yours… lol…

    xoxo,
    Anne

  5. Hello, Gala. I know I am writing on an old post, but I recently discovered your blog + so have been running through the archives.

    This is such a fabulous dress! I love your style. I am actually sort of thinking of getting it… do you find it held up well? It looks well-made. Of course, I shouldn’t get it (I am a college student in New York, not very warm this time of year) but I am making excuses quickly…

    Keep up the good work, doll!

  6. Hi Beth!

    Thank you, it’s a great dress, I agree. I have only worn it a few times, it’s the sort of thing that demands a fairly unusual occasion, but yes, it seems very well-made, I have no complaints about it whatsoever. I think you should get it!
