Divorce Jewelry

British Designer, Gisele Gannes, has found an unusual niche in jewelry. She specializes in Divorce Jewelry. I like her collection , as you may already know- I’m a brass knuckle afficiando- you can see more on her site here 

but what’s with the beaky birds? Is that a special significance, or is that to gauge out the ex’s eye?Either way, it works for me… 

She also does mourning jewelry… by the way, is it wrong to knit scarfs from a deceased cats’ hair?My cats are still alive but,  I’m saving hair from my cats to knit a teddy bear- I have about one grocery bag full of each cat… I need one more bag and then a Mr. Marmar teddy bear will be commissioned….. yes, I’m the neighborhood crazy cat lady and I’m only 31.

Odd Accessories….

Yunju Lee is the designer behind these conventional stains and marks translated into jewelry. The jewelry line includes a milk mustache (attached via a nose ring), lipstick on the collar, ink splats, leaky pen, ketchup stains and an iron burn. Slovenly chic is in! That’s good news for couch potatoes everywhere. I sort of like the lipstick stain, but would look better on a guy. The leaky pen looks cool , too… but something tells me people would tell you that you have a stain all day long. Annoying! The milk mustache nose ring looks damn silly! I give Yunju Lee credit for imagination, though….

SteamPunk Jewelry

Steampunk Trunk on Etsy makes these awesome pieces of jewelry for a very reasonable price, between $40-$60. Made from old watch gears and other gears, this is the epitome of recyclable fashion in a Victorian style. A while back, I had written an article in Buzzine.com on the growing trend of  Steampunk. You may view it here. Today, there are so many vendors on etsy offering the growing fashion trend. Go ahead an type in ’steampunk’  in the search box on etsy and begin your adventure back in time or shall I say to the future?

Dried Pig’s Ear bracelet- yummy….

This can go with the Pig’s feet  that Britney surely snacks on down south. This is a Pig’s Ear Bracelet made by Aurther Hash. I googled his ass and came up with this. 

It ’s actually a really cool website! He has an etsy shop with moe wearable jewelry like this :

   it’s a ring made from ping -pong paddles. 

I’m sure he made that pig’s ear bracelet to bring attention to his other jewelry ’cause I’m sure the guy is a starving artist. Check out his etsy store and buy something so he doesn’t scare us with more ghastly things. I personally like the grenade pin. I have a gold grenade necklace that I adore. But I don’t wear it to the airport.

IT’S HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Halloween is actually the only day of the year Where I don’t get strange looks. I am going as a Geisha this year ( will post photos soon). It was a hard one between the Geisha, a random Harajuku girl or  Snow White. I have a Latex General costume from House of Harlot, but I didn’t want to scare my son and other small children.

Above is a really cool necklace from La Fille du Consul that I should have worn a few years ago with my Marie Antoinette costume. Bummer. I’m sure you can wear this on Un-Halloween days , as well.  I bet you could wear that as a headband for that ‘Silence of the Lambs’ look.
