Welcome to the rambling thoughts of artist Calluna Dellamorte. Today we will explore medical curiosities, rogue taxidermy, fashions of years past, classic and contemporary art, Victoriana, steampunk culture, post-apocalyptic couture, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Blame
I blame Haute Macabre for making me want these over the knee boots after I have been bitching about how awful they are (over the knee boots, not the blog). What is worse is that I still can't find them. Thanks a million...

"Original Stitch and Bloody Ghoul-ery" accessory line.
I love these chokers from VonErickson, a ghoulish accessory shop on Etsy.
Makes me want to change my Halloween costume again...

Slacker
Okay, so I totally slacked off last week. Seems I needed a mental vacation. But I am back in the saddle, and ready to post more random stuff.
First, I think I'd like to rant about over the knee boots some more. There is one pair that has caught my attention as something I'd actually wear, but I can't seem to find them anywhere... otherwise, I am still seeing garbage.
This is what $50 will get you. I present the Ruby Boot by 80%20. A fake leather garbage bag tied around your leg...

Ladies in Pants
Occasionally the women wearing pants were male impersonators and/or lesbians. Around the turn of the last century it became very fashionable for lesbians to wear a monocle. I wish I had more photos of that...
