Since we're on the topic of sequins...

From the moment I saw the documentary Paris is Burning* (in Womens Studies 101, no less), I knew I was a fabulous gay guy from NYC in the 80s trapped in the body of a petite Canadian female. Well, not really but it really affirmed my love for glitter + sequins and I am currently in the process of building up a collection of sequinned items.

For starters, this black sweater was thrifted. It didn't quite live up to my shiny expectations, so I cut up this trashy old belt and sewed it to the neckline!

This white sequin cardigan was a present from a friend who knows me all too well.

This blue drag queen top is one of my latest thrift finds. It's about ten sizes too big for me, but I knew if I didn't buy it then some eBay pirate would.


*Watch it on Youtube, you won't regret it.
