Flipper Bytes

 The 99 cent store has these cute blue dolphin sandwich cutters right now! The same joy dolphin imagery made me feel as a kid, came right back when I saw this. The angels of the sea. It makes two dolphins, and a heart, perfect. Worth every penny! You could cut other types of dough as well! Summer dolphin biscuits for brunch, or Lisa Frank cookies. Today I made my favorite, PB&J. And had to have a soda, my weakness.  It is so easy to make the simplest meal elegant and fun. I love to start with a fun plate, or tray, and straws. Target has these cute little trays for 1.99, and pink and blue clear crazy straws for the same fee. Then just add some decor like shells, brooches, pearls, tiny mermaid bottles, a flounder spoon….anything you fancy really. Eating for me is a ritual and I try to make it special every time. Put love and care into all you do, and make life fun. Enjoy.

Flamingos N Fluff

 She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes. Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
Wake n Bake, Jacuzzi, and dolled up. Indulging in color for the first day of spring, and kicking around  in my neon rainbow fuzzy slippers. They make me happy. Testing out my new Flamingo Lovers Clear Plastic Bag. I hand sewed it, embroidered, and stuffed with pink feathers. I made it durable, roomy, and fits perfectly over your shoulder too.

ZERO Alternative

 I Love the smashing pumpkins, and lived in a black long sleeve ZERO Tee as a teen!!! Anyways, I found this amazing silver leather, high waist pencil skirt at work and I have never seen one like it in a while. I instantly was taken back and felt like strapping on dirty fairy wings, and going to a coffee shop. I went home and had to paint ZERO on it. It is nostalgic, 90s, alternative, something you would buy at the Catwalk, or Gamma, Gamma in the day. So this size 8 vintage gem is up for sale at http://macymarie.storenvy.com/  These black swan mini poof earrings are for sale as well. Made from vintage earrings!

She’s Lost Control

Confusion in her eyes that says it all. She’s lost control.
 And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I’ve lost control again. And she turned around and took me by the hand And said I’ve lost control again.  My outfit of the day, Pastel Goth always  makes me feel like me again. I am wearing my favorite sweater in the whole world, I live in it! It was gifted to me by my dear friend, and beautiful Gothic faerie babe, Rose. It is a vintage Pastel Disney sweater and it simply goes with everything. Don’t you just love your go to pieces that make you feel all warm and cozy inside. The little pastel butterfly clips on the collar make it, too cute and nostalgic. I am wearing it with my black cheer skirt that I also am obsessed with. I think Rose gave me this too! If you don’t own a black n white cheer shirt, get one, it is the best, especially with pink. I made the thigh high skeleton legs, and added teacups, jewels, pearls, and bows. I also made the mint poof earrings, and wiggly eyeball shoes,(yes wiggly google eye shoes, my mom sent me thousands how could I let them go to waste) both for sale on my site: http://macymarie.storenvy.com/ Ooh, so is that cute little 90s gothic Chinese takeout purse. I used to rock the shit out of them when I was a teen. I hand painted and jeweled it up listening to mass amounts of Joy Division. The pink bondage bear necklace was made by Pretty Star Clothing.etsy.com This pink haired beauty makes to die for dresses, and harnesses. Check her out. I feel her magical energy each time I wear it, which is a lot cause I love it.And she turned around and took me by the hand
And said I’ve lost control again. My lipstick is called Pagan Angel by Fergie. I love this, I stock up because its amazing, under 4 bucks, and I wear a lot of black lipstick. Its creamy, apply s well, and lasts. I can’t get enough. Wet n Wild has been a friend since I was a kid.  And she screamed out kicking on her side And said I’ve lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she’d die. She said I’ve lost control.

Star Quality

 Let me present to you Gillian Armstrong’s Starstruck, a 1982 Australian comedy-drama musical film. If you haven’t seen it, you must! It is fun, funny, and inspiring. ” be serious about the silly things, and silly about the serious things” My new motto. I strive to be to be more Obnoxious, obscene, and obscure after watching this film.  The message is If you dream about a thing, and work hard at it, It might just happen. It is all about creativity, hope, remaining positive, and not taking NO for an answer.  It is about fighting for what you believe in and expressing your art no matter what, and believing it might pay off. It is about “Star Quality”, that little something extra, and believing in yourself if you have it.  The Charisma between Jackie Mullens,the star, and her little brother-cousin-manager,Angus, is too cute. He is to die for. I really like his angsty care free character, deep inside of me somewhere is a hyper 14 year old punk rock boy. In fact I always obsessed over johnny rotten, and Shane Macgowan. The music numbers are nostalgic, and and her sexy semi rockabilly guitarist boyfriend is oh so dreamy.  Even dreamier is her costumes, and the fabulous Cinderella blue fluffy dress her mother gifts her! I love the scene where she gets conned by Angus to tightrope walk for a publicity stunt that makes the news. The Yellow bondage harness, and fake boobs are awesome, and even better her confidence and sass! The best interview response: “He thought if I got noticed, I might start a career! I’m just trying to spark things up a bit, I’m emotional. ” There is so much more to love, like the campy family pub they live and work, with a pastel paper ice cream float tissue paper decor. I love her 80s bedroom filled with photos, the boom boxes, and endless singing. I really like how the characters, and decor are campy and John Waters like. I grew up in a weird environment, it is where all the fun lies. The glamorous foul mouthed mother, and her big hair and wardrobe.”Squeeze yourself into these ridiculous clothes all you like, it wont change who, or what you are.” She says to her daughter. Love Love. The Nana is great too, almost makes the film with all her love and spontaneity, and childlike spirit in overcoming her doubts with excitement. She even goes fortune teller! I love all the schemes to make money, a movie I can really relate too. The band is great too, and the drunken extras, I really like Australian humor, and pub culture. “I don’t think the band should take their joints onstage”. So If you miss movies realistic, feel good movies over superficial and action packed, then check this one out. Girls will probably like this one more then the boy boys, but a must see.  On a final note when you watch it you can see where Lady Gaga got her name….Eeek. Watch. The whole movie kind of reminded me of her, and her philosophies. She even looks kind of like her. Watch and tell me, xoxo.  Oh and this small cameo with the cute girly dressed in a pink satin airline costume, blowing bubbles, singing, and rolling around with pink panties, and little socks, inspired. I am going to make this outfit happen, and play dress up asap. Pink hair would have put it over the top for me tho.
