For your consideration: two piping-hot, fresh off the sketch-pad designs to kick-start your holiday wish lists!
First up is my transit map homage to the world of Lewis Carroll, helping you get around Wonderland & Looking-Glass Land with ease!
Next we have this pretty rad romantic interlude between Red Riding Hood and The Big, Bad Wolf called “Star Crossed”:
As usual, both designs are available in men’s and ladies’ sizes on a variety of styles. If you like ‘em, share ‘em! Visit the Facebook page and let me know what you think:)
Halloween in Fells Point is always a blast, because all the most creative revelers come out in some pretty sweet costumes that are either really obscure, or really authentic and detailed, or both! Meredith and I went as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big, Bad Wolf this year, and while we saw a fair share of both characters over the course of the weekend, I think Meredith’s Red was the best because it was the most authentic-looking and wasn’t super-slutty.
And speaking of slutty, we were shocked to discover that the sluttiest costume we saw last night was being worn by a dude! It was pretty nuts given the outside temp (a not-so-balmy low 40s, with a nice wind whipping up off the river about 100 feet from the square) — just a skinny dude in gold lam´hot pants, humping everyone he saw. If I had to guess, I’d say he was supposed to be Chris Kattan’s ‘Mango’ character from SNL.
Anyway, here are some highlights from the weekend!

Now, if it was just a dude in a costume, this wouldn’t be quite so impressive. But I always give bonus points to costumes that incorporate electronics. And not only did this thing have lights all over it, but he seemed to have built servos to help improve his mobility. This doesn’t really come across in a still; luckily, I took some video, too:
I love this photo series by Dina Goldstein. The artists writes “These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues….I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.”
