Random articles or accessories that you *crave*

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 06-08-2008, 11:00 PM

Forgive me if there is already a thread of this, but I looked through 4 pages and did a search and didn't find anything.

Anyway, post about things you really want. Also, if you know where someone else's heart's desire can be found, please suggest!

Since I made this thread partly for self-serving purposes, I'll start it off by saying that I am yearning for a pair of antique-style arctic/glacier explorer sunglasses. I saw a pair of them once, with their big, round, dark lenses and the leather on the sides, and fell instantly in love. It was like they were made for me. But alas! A blissful union was not to be as I was about 11 at the time, and a) didn't have 50$ to spend, and b) was scoffed at by my parents.
I'm still searching for a pair, and if I ever find a picture of them on Google, I'll post it so everyone can see the spiffiness I speak of.

Suprisingly, i'm not craving anything but a piercing at the moment...I am so gunna get one later.

There are two things - no, wait, three - that I am craving and have been craving for some time. I wish I had the money for it... My number one craving is a tattoo/ corset piercing (yes, both combined) that I've been thinking up for some time. That one is going to cost me a lot of money, but I'm saving up for it. No. 2 is a proper corset, preferably white lace with black accents. And, since I just managed to loose my fan, I want one of those as well. A good quality one that doesn't fall apart the second you even think of looking at it.

I'm also craving a proper corset. Something custom made, with either vertical black and white/blue/green/purple stripes or a cracked batik spiderweb design. I've got a friend starting a corset-based fashion label, so he'll probably make it for me one of these days.

Also a warm winter coat that's SMALL and TIGHT and NOT ULGY. No coat in the world seems to match these criteria, and I'll gladly stay cold until I can find a bloody coat that doesn't make me look like a burlap sack.

Thirding the corset wish. There's one I've had my eye on for a while--a solid, plain black brocade overbust with a modesty panel that could work well as outerwear or underwear. And steel boning, yes; why bother with a corset if it won't give you the support and shape you need?

Also, a coffin purse. I know of a store that sells them, but all they have are the smaller clutches. The bigger backpack style ones I've seen online, but I'm a chicken when it comes to online shopping--you never know whether or not your shit's actually secure. D=

Me too, a pierced left eyebrow. I have wanted one for a loooong time but my friends at work say it would be a bad move. :mopes:

stockings, stockings, stockings, stockings. Damn, I LOVE stockings. Arms, legs, hands, feet, I LOVE wearing torn up stockings over everything. I cannot go to the store w/o buying some. Yes, I crave stockings, lol.

HP if you want to eyebrow piercing then go for it, I think it would look fantastic...plus if you really don't like it you can just remove it and let the hole close, it will just look like you have two freckles where the holes were.

I have also been craving a corset, it is damn hard to figure out what is a good place to get one as the only places I can find are online so I don't know exactly how good the quality is. I'm looking to spend less than $200 for one, but I really I could go up to about $250, so if anyone knows a good site I would really appreciate it. I have also been craving a parasol but again I don't know which websites have quality pieces and no store in my area has any that aren't made for very young girls.

Splintered · 06-09-2008, 06:26 PM

I've been trying to find something like ballistic nylon so I can finally make a harness. Alas, I can't find anything like it.

Solumina · 06-09-2008, 06:28 PM

What exactly is ballistic nylon?

Splintered · 06-09-2008, 06:32 PM

A synthetic fiber made by DuPont. It used to be use for bullet proof vests and jackets to stop grenade shrapnel, but it really sucked. However, it does a really good job for making belts and and straps.

Solumina · 06-09-2008, 06:49 PM

This site may have what you are looking for, I've ordered some neoprene from them for costumes and they seemed quite reliable.

Corsets:
www.meschantes.com - haven't bought a corset from them, but have heard very good things and they only do custom made ones so they fit perfectly.
www.galleryserpentine.com - Australia based, but pretty good value, especially with the currency exchange.

Parasols:
www.necromance.com - bought my parasol from their store in Hollywood, and it's awesome. They're also very reliable to order from online.

I hope those help!

Splintered · 06-09-2008, 07:01 PM

That looks like it has exactly what I need.
Thanks Solumina.

Solumina · 06-09-2008, 07:12 PM

Glad to help.

Thanks a bunch Cicero, now I want everything on all three sites. The link really do help a bunch now I just have to narrow down exactly what ones I'm going to get ^.^

Proper corset, some new peircings (I hope to get crossed black industrial cartilege peircings on my left ear and 2 captive bead rings on my right, 3rd lobe peircings, navel ring since I saw this cool coffin navel ring, and my lip) which I'm going to do myself except for the cartilege ones, and these stockings in purple. I'd also like a decent pair of boots, I quite like these

Looks great though ^_^!

The corset piercing is gunna cost loads because you need proper surface bars and to find a piercer who can do the technique.
That would well annoy me....searching around for ages, good luck with that though...it'll be awesome.

I know, so it'll be some years yet. But thanks =)

I'm sadly craving a pair of Beetle Juice type of pants with the black and white vertical stripes or even opaque cotton leggings in that print. I say sadly because, they're sort of rare-ish (or so I've heard), and pretty much because it's twice as hard finding something like that in a plus size.

And like most of you, I'm wanting a nice corset, but I'm having an issue finding some thing that doesn't look too much like stripper wear or that doesn't cost me a ton of money. Finding some thing that's versatile is really important to me too. I really don't even know what to look for in a nice corset since this is my first time attempting to buy one. Either way, it's impeccably difficult.

TheBloodEternity · 06-10-2008, 12:43 PM

Oh I want some of those beetlejuice pants too, but I've kind of given up.

DepthsofSpace · 06-10-2008, 02:03 PM

A closet of waistcoats and overcoats would suit me well...

Something like this? (they're currently out of stock in the black and white ones, but they do exist)

And men's ones are here.

I like the vertical stripes a lot, but my next jeans purchase will more likely be zebra print.

KontanKarite · 06-10-2008, 07:57 PM

four cornered studs. Just a few hundred loose studs. For a jacket...

It's so close to being done. It just needs a back patch and the studs. Also some of my custom pin-on buttons.
