She's Naked

I know my blog has been plain and empty but I'm trying to come up with a good design to make it pop. I have a few ideas floating around this head of mine.

We Clean, We Are Not a Storage Place

I have been so busy working and looking for work that I forget to pick up my dry cleaning. It's sad when they call and I miss the call and they leave a really nice voicemail."Mr. Will Parra, this is ________Cleaners. We've had your garments ready for the past three weeks and have been sitting here waiting for you to pick them up. We can not be holding your pieces for another two weeks and would appreciate for you to pick them up. If not we do have the right to sell your garments. Please call us back at (213)555-5555." So nice of them calling before selling my crap, called them back and said that I forgot about them and will pick them up in the morning. The owners are just sweethearts and totally understand. Plus I give them a lot of business from all the crap I take them.

It's funny how I forget my personal clothing at the cleaners, yet when it someone else I'm there at the time and date they tell me it will be ready. What the fashion industry does to a boy like me. Well tomorrow morning I'm getting up an hour early to pick up my jackets.

Lace Me Down

I love lace, on pretty much anything. The black lace top is from Hanky Panky. The two white ones I custom made for a photo-shot that I missed out.

It has a beautiful jewel detail with shoulder pads and asian buttons. A friend tried it on and said it felt like she could just go to bed with it on. Maybe I'll it for my collection that I am working on.

Acid Zebra

I hand made this dress, took me about a good eight to ten hours. I hand stitched. Has small details like shoulder pads, a silk inside body, and a zipper on the side. It's a size 2-4.

LIVE! On Sunset 2

LIVE!

So I used to work at a store called LIVE! on Sunset. I will leave it at that, but here are a few pictures I have stumbled on so I though I'd share.
