Clicky-links of a coveting nature

[cupcake_goth]

I keep looking at stuff (in the black & grey stripe) from the Lip Service "Psycho Circus III" line. I'm not at all sure if the things I'm looking at would work on me, but I keep looking at them.

Bat Seducer Jacket (clicky-link!)

Fire Dancer Vest (clicky-link!)

Now keep in mind, I would wear either of those items OVER a high-collared lacey blouse, and with petticoat-fluffed skirts. It would be stripey and circus-y AND quasi-Victorian. So, not like how they're shown in the catalog, really.

Yeah, they do kinda shout your name.

Check Redemption Klothing's site for them; Greyson tends to have better prices than the LS site.

Jola was wearing them this weekend, and they were AWESOME:



I really like the jacket -- if I were convinced that an XXL would fit me, *I'd* totally wear it, FWIW!

Yes, you DO need the Bat Seducer jacket.

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

I continue with the shakyfist action. Enabler.

Hello, have you MET me? Of course I enable you.

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Jacket yes, if worn as you describe. Vest, no. Just... no.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

No? But ... the vest works in my head. I can picture the outfit.

(Heeeey, nice jacket in your icon! ::grin::)

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Hm, maybe if I knew more about the exact pieces you planned to pair it with, I'd feel better, but that vest is striking me as a Not Very Versatile item, and thus to be avoided.

and it is ENTIRELY YOUR DOING that I have the jacket in my icon. I would not have known of its EXISTENCE but for you. And it is my best favoritest piece of clothing EVER and I get compliments every time I wear it, no matter what I wear it with, so yay!

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

No. Maybe if you modified the collar so it was more like the jacket, but the way it's cut it would not work on you or with your wardrobe.

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

I agree with another poster that the jacket could work but the vest probably wouldn't do so well. I think it the collar part on it would be especially troublesome...

[schwarze-krahe.livejournal.com]

ok so I am wondering how do the sizes really run on these?

[seelenschwester.livejournal.com]

Small. I tried on the Bat Seducer jacket in size L when I was in a shop in Montreal. No dice. I cry that the XXL size in black/silver is out of stock.

Yes, if it weren't for this wedding, I might have bought the entire line! Love it!

But.... do you have a Forever 21 and/or Charlotte Russo where you live? Charlotte Russo has black and silver striped "jeans" that are more like thick leggings really because they are super skinny tight. But considering I was thinking of paying $60+ for Lippy's version, not bad, there's are $30. Stripes are thinner.

But the real find is at Forever 21, if you've got one, go NOW. I was out hunting for last minute wedding shoes and saw the jacket and had to have it. It is not on the website anywhere, I even searched by the item number and nothing. You can find this jacket (http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=outwr%5Fblazers&product%5Fid=2050631865&Page=1), but that one is not as cool as the one I bought. It's black and cream striped but the sleeves are long and the upper collar is solid black, it's the quasi double breasted with an inverted V cut at the bottom. Wait..... I'll take photo.......

Forever Hell, I mean 21, is where I found my awesome striped jeans that I just wore to C14 and nearly had some woman tear them off of me. Normally I might hide this awesome little find and reveal it after the stores had sold out, haha, but you're my fellow striped sister, how can I deny someone as awesome as you?

::flails incoherently, makes grabby hands at the monitor::

Ohgodohgod. I wonder if it will fit over my bust. That's it, must go to a mall TONIGHT. Thank you for sharing the secret with me!

[acid-poptart.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I knew you would like! Only $30!!!! Shockingly, the small fits my bust... it's a tight fit, but I hated how long the sleeves were on me with the medium. Good luck girlie! You need this jacket! If I wasn't freakin' out so much over the wedding in a few days, I'd be contemplated the many ways to wear this right now!

Oh, and of course you know my wedding dress is striped? Of course. ;)

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

that cut, especially for the lipservice line, and your bustline... yeah, I am thinking that it would not be a good match.

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

The jacket is a tight fit and the vest too..

I do not know how it work over things.I had the same thought when I first saw them and then when I got to see them in person I do not think it would work over anything too thick. You could wear a thin fabric top under the bat seducer jacket but its made to fit like a glove.

I did not order the line at all as it seemed like the stripes would wear after a bit, there panted on the fabric not woven in to it , I tend to like to sell things that people will be happy with for a long time..

Just my two bits..

BTW when is the vamp ball down by you we would like to know so we can plan to go this time around.

Re: Hi,

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for the lovely note! The charming little girl in a couple of my photos isn't my daughter, but the daughter of a very dear friend. (I'm her honorary auntie and fairy gothmother.)

ooooh, BJDs. Several of my friends collect them, and I love looking at photos of them. I just have too many other hobbies that take up my time and money to delve into the BJD world. But I'll have to take a look at your rag dolls!
