Starcon 2015

How much time has passed since my last post! It is not that nothing was happening, but there is some mess in my mind and I can not connect two words >_< But something is definitely worthy of mention! I'm talking about STARCON 2015.  It's a great festival of fiction, cinema and science. There were thousands of characters - from Mario to Jesus Christ. Since I am a big fan of The Elder Scrolls, most of my time was spent on embracing with Argonians and Khajiits. Please forgive me, the rest of the beautiful cosplayers! (Just make a reservation, I looked simply awful there)

Ideas, development, purchase, delivery, photoset, so much effort and development... Finally, my own little shop opened on etsy.com. Friends, I invite you to visit this page and to wish me some luck and further progress. This collection of clothing impregnated with dreams about elves and memories of the pilgrimage to sunny India. My first order  has been already sent to Australia. It means the world to me! I wish all the good and the most beautiful day to all of you!

Can you feel my heart beat?

So, my dear friends, what's new happening here?

May 26th has been one of the most beautiful and extraordinary days of my life! It was the day Nick Cave gave a concert in St.Petesburg. You know, the last six months his music played a very important role for me. The night before the concert I slept very bad and terribly worried. There was a feeling that I'm going on a first date XD I wanted to look like something special. So I chose a black pencil dress with cherry print, high-heeled shoes and fasinator with a veil. I came to the concert hall one hour before the show. A small crowd of fans has been waiting for Nick at the stage door and I joined them. It seems to me, it took 70 minutes until the car with musicians appeared. Unfortunately Nick just waved his hand and left. But I realized that my legs are literally fall off due to uncomfortable shoes. Fortunately, the concert was supposed to be a chamber, and I had a ticket for a seat. Someone caught me in the crowd waiting for King Ink:

 

(I'm looking so frightened here! I can't watch without laughing)

Finally the show started. Nick came out, greeted the audience and played one of his slow songs. What was my surprise when, at the beginning of the second song, half of the audience stood up from their seats and rushed to the scene! I thought that this was my chance too and ran after them. So after doing this I was two-three meters away from the scene. Nick was simply divine! He was in contact with the audience constantly, shaking hands with everyone, communicate with us, joked, danced. Meanwhile, my feet again made themselves felt. Well, I couldn't think of anything better than simply take off my shoes :) Yes, I was at the concert of Nick Cave barefoot!  I hope it was dark enough and no one saw... I was absolutely happy to be much closer to Nick than originally expected. But those people who bought very expensive tickets to the first row - not at all. They asked the guards to disperse those who hindered them watching.  Security began to press people, but instead of getting away from the scene, I was even closer! But...my dress was torn...Whoops! So, I'm standing barefoot and in tattered clothes in one meter away from Maestro. Well done! I thought, ok, I have nothing to lose. And start my path towards Nick. In the end I found myself in the front row! Hell, this worth it all! Goodness, I feel dizzy at the thought that King Ink was even holding my hand!  I was the happiest person on earth! Nick Cave is a real magician or shaman. His ritual movements fascinate. And what's make me more happier is that at the end of the show I was able to get the paper with set list! So, my legs hurt terribly and clothing was damaged, but I touched the cold hand of Nick, received a present and heard my favorite songs! I'm in love!  After the show, I was trembling from overstimulation and could not stop. Again I slept very bad, and the morning after was feeling just awful. The tale was over. If you will allow me to compare Nick Cave with drugs, he is definitely heroin. Mad euphoria and grave condition after. I swear, I even felt pain. Now I like learning to live again. Everything falls into place. Nevertheless, I repeat, it was one of the brightest days of my life...

Phew ... These were insanely busy weeks! I finally started to visit the gym and  get fit for summer. Merciful Lord, make it so that all the cookies gone of the world!... Of course I'm kidding. Now my shops and preparations for the new season  interest me most of all. A couple of weeks ago Rebel Dolls participated in the fashion show of dresses from my pin-up store "Cherry Shop". It was a great event with jazz music and dancing. Finally, I got photos from there!

I like to review such cheerful pictures. Fond memories of important moments of life. And this time also a farewell to the old  hairdo!^^ Goodbye Betty bangs! Hello 50's style false bangs XD

Do you think I made the right choice?)

Rock around the Christmas tree

Dear friends! With great delay congratulate you on Happy New Year! May this year be bright, warm and unforgettable.  As for me, I have summed up the results of the past year.

The most important thing for me is that a loved one was near. Whatever we do, no matter how adventurous were plans crowded in my head, he always supported me. 

We traveled a lot - and this is one of the greatest things for me. This year we visited Estonia, Finland, Turkey and India. Not so much as we would like, but still something. New Year`s Tallinn is a fabulous place, and Finland in my mind will always be a fantastic country with green forests inhabited by elves. Turkey has been a real surprise for me. This country has an incredibly rich cultural heritage and unspeakable natural beauty. As for India, then it is not a secret that I'm in love with this beautiful, soulful and slightly crazy country. Nature, religion, people - all of it is a mystery to me and the object of attraction. 

Another achievement - graduation. Now I am a certified cultural scientist! However, I'm going to continue  my education, but more on that in due time. 

I stand at the base of two stores in St. Petersburg. "Forest Shop" - is clothing for the elves, incense and various oddities from Asia. "Cherry shop" - dresses, hats, gloves and more for lovers of vintage fashion. I actively develop both directions. With our shops we have traveled several festivals, participated in the parties. This is a new invaluable experience! 

I joined the pin-up project Rebel Dolls, who opened me up and introduced to a new world. I found new friends, co-starred in the music video and numerous photo shoots, many years after the last experience participated in the organization of parties. It was hilarious! 

So this year was definitely cheerful and productive. I hope the new year will bring even more wonders! Therefore, pour yourself a cup of fragrant tea and enjoy! =*

I see you find my underground

Finally, the video that we shot in November saw the light! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to your attention music video of Evil Jokers involving Rebel Dolls! A little bit nightmares on Monday morning still will not hurt anyone ^_^

Bastards from the underground

In early November Rebel Dolls starred in the music video of the St. Petersburg psychobilly band "Evil Jokers". The action took place in an abandoned industrial building, where, according to the plot, the vocalist gets into one of his nightmares. There he met with various horror characters: sinister bloody doctor, a maniac with a chainsaw and a murderous zombie bitches! Guess, who performed their role?!;) 

It was my first role, so I have no idea what will happen at the outlet :) But one thing is for sure: it was insanely fun! The shooting process  is a very tedious thing, but it goes unnoticed, if you are surrounded by friends.

 

Premiere of the clip is scheduled for December 5th, and in honor of this we will have a party. Unfortunately I can't visit it, because at this point I will be abroad, but more on that later;) I hope that everyone will have an excellent time at the event and will not laugh too loudly over our acting abilities :D
  

And as a postscript: I wear a badge of PPHA - Pikes peak hearse association from Colorado. Guys you are the best, especially Norman <3

 

Wonderful life

Sweet November outside. Last leaves have already fallen down from the trees. Strolling along the park in the morning I'm enjoying the last rays of the sun on my face. Whitish frost covers the grass and the ice has begun to constrain water. It seems that with the last flocks of birds my soul is  flying away. Soon  there will come  the endless black nights and I will enter into the period of melancholy and screeching halt. Inaction, passivity and unwillingness to do  or to change anything haunt me in the winter. So now, in a season that inspires me the most, I have to do the maximum! In plans there are articles, notes, long letters, and many other things that have long been waiting for me on the writing table. Autumn, don't leave me...
