And I bought myself way too many pieces by Dark in Love. I am more than a little biased toward them.
This website is a great catalog of Dark In Loves work (but the prices are retail)
darkinlove.com/collections
Lowkey I can't find them on TaoBao and idk if it's user error or if they are no longer selling that way. which tbh would make sense given how nice their new retail website is.

After next week I'm going to be moving to an every other work for my ~sanity~
there are so many big things going on on my end of things (all good things, but still quite a few of them)
hence why my poor sweet puppy wanted so much love while I was filming.
I barely BARELY touched on the influence that Harajuku fashions including decora had on the world.
Or the grip that twee had on the 2010's.
(sorry)
ANTOTHER NOTE. I recorded this a week ago before the info on the actors cat for the upcoming move and did not intend to drag the casting team for whitewashing Clawdeen.
however. that section does look and feel rather sassy within context XD

And as upsetting as this knowledge is, please don't send any snark to Cathy, or anyone on the FR team. That won't do any good!
Also, I won't be doing more videos like this!
This wasn't a fun think to research or know about, so if anyone else spends a decade acting wild I Herby pass the baton to ANYTONE ELSE to shed light on it!
I'm tapping out haha!
Communities can't be healthy or safe without accountability. That's just a fact. And accountability is all I'm asking for.
Final Edit: ok, Cathy's fans are not behaving themselves so I am going to turn comments off because it's getting to be too much to monitor and is negatively affecting my mental health. the same three ways to say "I didn't actually listen to anything you had to say and think that your stupid for caring about the finical and emotional wellbeing of others." are getting boring and frankly I don't know how to explain to someone that their world view is insidiously pathological.
It has been so disappointing and disheartening to see the sheer volume of people who see money as the end all be all of a persons character, and the acquisition of money as a moral and virtuous act; even at the detriment to others and when it's built on exploitation, manipulation and fear tactics.
Also, the victims of Cathy Hay deserve every bit of Privacy I afforded them and I will not apologize for being vague. I was keeping my friends safe. And you've all seen what happened to the only artist who's name I did mention.
Chapters on all my videos released before the feature dropped are coming, please be patent I am a one woman show and currently launching a video a day until Christmas.
Edit: So as it turns out you CAN cancel your subscription at any time, but you can only get a refund in the first month. according to a few commenters that have canceled their subscriptions. (thanks guys!)
EEP I almost forgot about the pinned comment with Resources!
Here is a living document full of beginner resources, (if you know of any good ones please comment on this thread And I'll add them!)

sorry for the slanted set, my new house is ~vintage~ and some of the floors are crooked, and I thought that making the camera level would be the way to go but as it turns out....that is not the case lol
(my poor desk also took a beating in the move, so I'm going to have to repaint it....)

Every theatre and set-up are wildly different, so this may not be completely applicable. But I tried to make it as general as possible!

One of the main reasons I'm excited about releasing this pattern for free is because if anyone is working with a low, to now budget theater this is still as accessible for them as I can reasonably make it.

Drawing composite sketches is my favorite step of designing any show, and while none of these are pitch-ready, I tried really hard to walk through the logistics and reasons behind these costume plans and how they would work for a live-action.
I slightly regret rushing the first video so much, but I'm so glad that I'm making this video now! And I'm also very excited for the specialist's video that will be coming out soon (likely in September)
As well as some other fun Winx content that I've been planning for....a long while actually!
Sorry about the TRASH audio, I'm working on getting a mic so that this won't be a problem in the future!
Don't ask me how I'm keeping with my upload schedule I have no idea!
Costume Symposium prep has been a whirlwind! and I'm so proud to be one of the Badge Fairys, and I couldn't not shout out my fellow magical friends!
As promised here are some articles on African Tomo,
(also, I got Ghana and Nigeria mixed up Tomo comes from Ghana)
