corsetry, nail polish, ribbons, sequins, pvc, backpacks to put parrots in, black webbing, white webbing, reflective material, sewing little bits of things to bigger bits of things, using powertools, drawing on things with sharpie markers
Music
ah, music. I'm a cyber-tastic clubby kinda kid, so I love all the stompy/bouncy bands you can name. some favorites of the moment in no particular order: lab 4, combichrist, vnv, apop, neuroticfish, rob zombie, rammstein, project pitchfork, birthday massacre, rottersand, grendel, covenant...
Movies
things with gore, violence, drugs, sex, guns, and nice clothing, and there absolutely MUST be zombies... though, if there's gore involved, I don't mind so much if the clothing's not great... if you try and show me a romantic comedy, chances are, I WILL stab my eye out with a fork. or maybe YOUR eye. or maybe riley will pluck it from your skull with a happy chirrup. guess that depends on *his* mood.

About me:
Invisible Rooster clothing... some sort of post-fallout, pseudo-historical, obsessively-tooled, art-wear from designer aly wolff-mills. (I like to make things that are nifty, weird, overly stitched, shiny, overly boned, sparkly, have plastic clips and lots of webbing, have something made out of plastic attached, and always have a wee black and white rooster on them. and yes, I make stuff for boys too... working on getting some more photos of the various bondage trousers/shirts I have made recently ..)
post-fallout-tastic!
Check out my web site and photo section for examples of my work. At the moment, I do mostly custom projects and one offs. Feel free to ask about anything you see.
ooooooooh, red and stripy and rubbery and there are two of them for some spectacular twins.
oooooooh, white and shiny and there are two for some spectacular twins.
Who I'd like to meet: free thinkers, art-tastic types, creative spirits, people with ridiculous hair colors, 19th century lit lovers, parrot-people, *fabulous* people... (and more practically speaking: photographers, models, stylists in the nyc area)
people who make ridiculous drawings late at night when their neighbor's dog won't stop barking.
as a side note, here's some ridiculous drawings of mine too... my latest obsession is with putting these sorts of drawings ONTO clothing...

I think i'm gonna celebrate birthday year. ohh, and just wait, when i'm your age, i think i'll have birthday decade. i can just hear it now, "honey, make me a sandwich, would you please?"
