Hello hello how about a giveaway?

I want to celebrate hitting 5000 followers and say thank you to all the people who have supported me since I started Fancy Lady Industries. How better than to giveaway stuff?!

This prize consists of

  • a blue fat necklace
  • a magenta vain necklace
  • a white no diet talk brooch
  • a fluoro pink big girls donut cry patch
  • tonnes of postcards

All up it’s worth about AUD$90 and I’ll probably throw in a zine too for good measure :D

Rules and other info

  • Reblogs count as 1 entry, likes do not count.
  • Reblog as many times as you like, each reblog counts as one entry.
  • No “giveaway” or empty tumblrs will be considered because that’s just not fair!
  • I will draw the winner on November 1 at around lunchtime.
  • I will post anywhere so long as you have an address for me to post your prize to.
  • It might be a good idea to follow me so you know if I draw your name, and you probably should have an ask box so I can contact you!

Secret bonus bit

If you are following me before the prize is drawn and you’re drawn as the winner, I will include an A6 portrait of you done in ink and watercolour!

Outfit from 10.28.2011

Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 24
Shrug: Pure Energy sz. 2 (Target)/
Tights: Assets sz. 5 (Target)
Boots: Funtasma sz. 11 (eBay)
Necklace:  Thrifted
Wristlet: e.l.f. cosmetics

I love love love the strawberry dress– the only drawback is I cannot wear it by itself!  The neckline is cut a little strangely for my shoulders and the straps wont stay up at all.  But the shrug works well enough until I can take it to my seamstress friend to see what she can make of it. ^_^

Shirt: Pure Energy (Target) sz. 3
Fat Necklace: Definatalie
Skirt: Merona (Target) sz. 3
Stockings: Lane Bryant sz. C/D (They were originally tights, but I cut ‘em off and they’re stockings now.)
Legwarmers: Xhiliration (Target)
Shoes: Crocs sz. 10

Back on the OOTD wagon! o/

I got two new outfits drawn while on my lunch break last night, so I inked them up when I got home.  (I will hopefully color and post the second one tomorrow.)  I tried something new and inked them with a real actual brush and pot of ink, too!  And I only smudged this one in ONE place! ^_^;;

Anyways, my favorite part of this (both the outfit and the drawing) is from the knees down. DOSE LEGWARMERS.

No one will ever take my legwarmers away from me. *clutches them to the chest*

I decided a sassy self-portrait was in order.  I’m looking rather dapper today anyway, since I went out with my boyfriend and his family for his father’s birthday dinner at a fancy restaurant.

I happened to be watching the episode of Futurama where Fry learns he’s a billionaire and throws a party with everyone wearing top hats, and here we are.

Some ideas for my next series of Body Love Buttons. These will be in tattoo style, but I’ve got some researching to do on the lettering styles before I work on the final designs.
