Flashmode: A Fall Fashion Event in Old Montreal

For almost a year, the only capacity under which I had been covering local events was for a blog directed at models, in an effort to inform them about local events. While I appreciate the opportunity to not only immerse myself in the Montreal fashion scene but to write about it, no matter the context, I must say that I'm quite happy with my decision to start covering shows for my own blog, as well.

You are Not a Pinup But You are F*cking Fabulous: Some Swimsuit Recommendations For All Body Types.

I have a vintage clothing collection and I love tasteful, retro fashions but I must admit that the last eight or nine years of supposed pinup and burlesque fashion has often set my teeth on edge.

A Geek Girl's Guide to Swimwear: Part One. Star Wars.

9:58 PM Unknown No comments
(Posted on the wordpress version of this blog on June 19th, 2014).

For many, the ideal epitome of girl-geek-meets-bikini is, of course, the little number Leia Organa wore when captured by Jabba the Hutt, in Return of the Jedi. You can purchase this costume from one of many web sites and wear it wherever the hell you you like (because YOLO?) or you can read on and choose from one these fabulously geeky and (mostly) practical pieces.
I began by looking up licensed clothing but, a lot like when I made my own Leia costume and it was a dozen times prettier and more realistic than the the shiny, poly blend messes I found online, I am choosing to ignore my original findings in favour of these.
I think it's safe to say that Black Milk is top dog when it comes to geek swimwear. They actually have a Star Wars collection that features these:
The Artoo Swimsuit. $100 AUD
Artoo Swimsuit. $100.00 AUD
The AT-AT Swimsuit. $100. AUD
 Nerd Meets Girl has also come up with their own  collection of swimsuits that pay tribute to Star Wars. Each piece has the same shape but the graphics vary. Grab one for $90.00 USD.
 
Etsy also has a slew of Star Wars swimwear, some of which is a direct copy of what Black Milk is selling and some of it more original.
I think this R2D2 wrap , which is going for $47.28 CAD at Rooby Lane is pretty rad.

Summer Sonic, another shop on Etsy, has this Darth Vader Swimsuit for $22.11 CAD.
