There’s an invisible zipper down the front, which is made even more invisible by the gold ribbon with the star buttons on either side. It was an incredible amount of pinning to get everything laid out correctly! The thick gold braid was sewn on with my machine (and strategically placed to offer bust support), while the gold ribbon was sewn and glued. Unfortunately all the supplies for this suit were purchased new, but on the bright side it was less than $25! The fabric is from Joann’s, while most of the trimmings are courtesy of Fabric Planet. I’m totally impressed that Jason was able to get pictures this good in a dark alley! These pictures were all taken at a Burner Halloween party in downtown LA, with Jason as an exterminator and Cosmo as a space bunny (I made Cosmo’s suit as well). You bet your ass I listened to a lot of Bowie while making this. Oh my, how I love this new pink bodysuit! It’s the only complete costume I made for Burning Man 2010 (all other costumes had their debuts elsewhere).

Thank you to Gus and Jason for getting such great photos.
I was working late, recovering from a cold, and having the time of my life. This hot momma decorated her own mask, and was accompanied by her Golden God of a husband and her delightful snakey sisters. The gold spandex bodysuit has sparkly pink nipples and a luxurious bush, and is topped with a sheer red sequin gown. One of my favorite creations for the parade is Lady LEWD, a Medusa / Godiva hybrid with a thrilling laugh and a lot of sass.
It was exhausting and exhilarating, and I can’t wait to do it again. I was working around the clock, even called in my crafty lovelies Maria and Patrick for last-minute help, and was hot gluing LED wreaths at the Den as the parade gathered. Over three weeks and an inconvenient illness, I designed and sewed nine costumes for that parade. For KdV’s 30th year, the theme was XXX and my group’s float was CaliguNOLA (or: The Fall of the NOLAn Empire). I landed a dream gig designing costumes for LEWD, a sub-krewe of Krewe du Vieux (considered the start of parade season and a spectacle of weird and raunchy satire). Through the help of many friends, I was able to stay in my city and contribute my own art to my favorite time of year. The plan was to head back to California in early January, but luckily plans aren’t forever. Categories: sewing, Tags: bodysuit, costume, LEWD, mardi gras 1 LADY LEWD Mardi Gras costume
