SOLVED IT!!!!!
It's because I can't see my own body at all.
None of the photos does justice to how much space I take up. How large my stomach is. The black of the suit behind the skeleton is so pitch black you can't see the awkward curves ect. That won't be the case in florescent stadium lights but who cares?
The skeleton is so distractingly white, and the pitch black just works perfectly for the overall effect of a floating skeleton. Even with additional layers and accessories, it's a chilling difference to my actual body.
I'm embarrassed to admit: I love it so much. I wish I could dress like a skeleton everyday. I am starting to actively search out skeleton clothes.
Also, it's pretty loose fitting. Getting looser. The pudge won't budge, but I'm definitely not the same.
Tobias is on to something.
Dressing up like a Sparkly Bat Skelton just healed some part of my soul.
Why haven't I done this sooner?
Like, is this not delicious? I'm so happy, and this isn't even close to done (I need sooooo many more rhinestones 😂)
I'm going to try and play nice and keep my Ghost Costuming journey in one post. Good luck, me.
Better res Ghoulette references
Notes:
Don't need to fully bedazzle the entire skeleton, thank you Papa!
? ? ? Cape collar? ? ?
Hat shape suggests the masks are infact the original horned ones?
Scaring on masks, is that original or newly added?
Ghouls! I need your help figuring out these costumes!
I need as many fresh references as possible to these 2 outfits so I can start recreating a *version* of them for my partner and I for July.
I gather these are some fairly basic Skeletons, and what appears to be an Edwardian/Victorian top hat on the ghoul. I freaking love the bat/butterfly (batterfly) wings on the ghoulette.
(I'm sorry, I'm terrible and didn't Reaserch band lore. That will change.) Are these the normal Ghoul masks, or are these new iterations?
Being larger and apron bellied, I'll probably wear a skirt or something sheer over my bodsuit to feel less. . . . Bodily.
Greatful for suggestions for Hotfix gems and how to build the Ghoulette's hat?
New piece! Am calling her “Skör” (fragile in Swedish).
Assembled from strips of lace, a doily, and some fiddly needle lace and crochet for the teeth. Starched with diluted wood glue.
Perfect in time for Halloween!
Only a few days ago I posted and shared a powerful moment on my Instagram. The headlining caption started, "I HATE MY MOTHER FOR THIS!", and was about my trauma surrounding hygenic grooming.
Y'all, my mother started texting me about hair removal techniques almost immediately. I think she found me and is stalking me (typical her behavior, she stalks her exs too.)
I cannot begin to express the fury I felt getting these critical and pointless messages. Like, if you're stalking me, maybe read what I have to say???

I am very excited for Dark Force Fest, and even more so because the boyfriend's Pandora has been playing more Dead on a Sunday lately! He likes them, and also discovered he likes She Wants Revenge!
I just wish DoaS was on the same day as Orgy, because boyfriend actually already knows and likes them.
Still, not missing the extremly rare Beborn Beton gig, nor a chance to say Hi to Frenchy and The Punk again!
Why is it I need to deregulate my system from a shock literally an hour before I'm planning to go out?
TWICE NOW! I've had unpleasant experiences within hours of me needing to get ready to go somewhere.
THREE TIMES NOW! Someone has shown up at my door uninvited and scared the shit out of me.
Knock it off, Universe!!!
