spent all day troubleshooting why my hip hemline was riding up and this has been an excercise in being cursed with knowing where all my asymmetries are

Happy birthday to the one and only akane shinjo 💃

I cleaned off my countertop so I was like what if 2025 beauty roundup 🧖‍♂️ Part 1 fave buys, details in alt! I'm on my phone so it's probably typoes and formatting errors abound sorry LMAO

Several mockups and drafts later I've finally defeated the evil I've been meaning to tackle for the last 7 years....a proper bodice block with *working* sleeves!!!!! Happy new year wahooooo 🎆🎇✨✨✨

year of the horse has me like what if it was spent dedicated to uma cos (saying that while thoroughly pripara brained)

Saw GQuuuuuuX 🌝🌹 at the Gundam Base pop-up in Houston #cosplay

I couldn't finish the school uniform bc this wig took like 4 days to make LMAO

I told myself I didn't want to do another aipri outfit bc vinyl is hard af to store but the secret friends poodle outfits.....

Machu was fun to wear between the excited machu call outs and confused "I know you but who are you" reactions 😂

Otakon day 1!

Do as they say not as they do (crunching)

otakon lineup! I feel like I should pick up canva like all the kids do bc i could not figure out if paint 3d had layers or not...LMAO

sanded some resin prints from coco 💎 filled them with uv resin for tint and a more gemmy look. Bonus is that it'll magnify whatever I use for backing 🥸

I'm still afflicted by the curse of perfectionism but hiatus during covid gave me time to reflect where I can cut corners and still be decently satisfied u win some u lose some (sanity) 🤩

tried Romands mood pebble hardener over the weekend and it made for a very nice "my nailbeds but better" tint and shine! No chips either 🥰 I did use seche vite on top for quick dry however. The shade I'm using is 04 after two coats #nails

Every selfie I've taken has elongated my face and raised my eyebrows by like 25% I need a new app 😭

as it turns out even if the companies say they use the same rbg profile ur fabric prints will in fact not come out the same color (person making a million expensive mistakes today)_

spent sooo long finding a 3/4 circle skirt tutorial with math I could actually follow my neck hurts from messing up so many times 😭

personal discord i use as dumping grounds was full of me going through it, was working in rgb8 and then went back and found out realfabric prints in rgb16 LMAO

anyway idk who needs this but if u hold or right click the hashtag on a person's profile u get a nifty menu

self harm lmao 😭

did a little inventorying to keep myself from buying the same colors and to my delight (?) one of my lip liners is the exact undereye liner shade I've been trying to buy lately #makeup

Kind of impressed no two are the same...

i love when i dig deep enough to get the algorithm to give me nigerian seamstress yt for those nuggets of info u can't get via mommy bloggers....

The last time I picked up my sewing machine was to put it on the floor to clean my desk but spite is a hell of a motivator

the vinyl backing is so soft and comfy on the skin i want to know how i can get it off tb/AE...

Is it too ballsy to try and adjust vinyl gahahaha (I have the back pinched in pic 2)
