Backstage, manic hands stitch limbs into sculptures. It’s almost time for the Keep It Weird runway show, and models are cleansing their palates with tumblers of kale-infused seltzer. The couture that is made for the catwalk transcends adornment towards art, body towards voice.

Oooh Coral Sea Monster Tiara is gorgeous...I love how in the picture, the model's left (our right) doll-like faux eyelash is coming off at the inner corner of her eyes. The Mary Jane Couture Tutu is adorable...who wouldn't thought that cannabis leaves could be so cute as a tutu? I love how some designers' Ready To Wear is like Haute Couture. I can imagine that this blog would have greatly delighted the late and brilliant Alexander McQueen. Truly a feast for the orbs.

Weird, many times means artsy. Browsing on etsy some times i forget that the items are all made by different artists since they could tend to look a lot the same so that when we find something unique seems weird:)
