Well, last year I had a lace and leather birthday party and am under strict instructions to top it this year.
So this years theme, for my 21st, is what you were wearing when the police raided the brothel.
I want to dress up appropriatly, but have major body hang ups so not sure what to do (I have a corset, but it's the bottom half I'm stuck on!) and I also want to decorate the flat, but no idea how.
A friend is making me a cage from spray painted bamboo canes, I'm making a confession wall, but does anyone else have any other ideas for decorating/things I could do?
Great party theme! I think the shower curtain idea is great and PP's idea of red bulbs is excellent and can be got really cheaply.
In terms of what to wear with the corset either short skirt or hotpants teamed with fishnets should work well for the theme and fishnets hide some of my body hang ups. Those shoes are gorgeous, I'm sure that's enough justification...
I'd go with a short wetlook skirt with the corset! And stockings and garter belt! I can't think of any party decorations that could add to what you already have... I hope you have a great party and enjoy your 21st! X
I'd more likely go fot tutu type material in strips that are floor length for the bottom over a pair of hotpants, then its not all on show but has the appeal of thigh high slits and stuff.
Thanks LL, I have a lace bustle belt, so wet look might provide too many textures, if you know what I mean? Although saying that it could work together. So many choices!
Good idea VA, and with the heals won't make me seem to short *tries to justify the shoes*
Oh honey, there is always a justification for shoes. They give you a massive confidence boost, and can make even the most conservative outfits feel really sexy, which is 100% positive and good for you :) Afterall, isn't mental wellbeing and happiness always linked to good health? that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it :P
I feel so boring. I don't even think I went out in my 21st: and if I did I think it was for a meal with my then bf. Maybe next year I will do something fun for my 30th
I might have to look at a way of blacking out the windows -there's a horrid street lamp outside that will ruin my efforts of red lighting.
The bamboo canes arrived today, with the spray paint for them, they guy looked at me funny when I went ooo I can make the cage now! Without thinking...
Paige, black and white is rather classy!
PB love I have willy and curvy lady ice cube moulds for vodka jelly, and someone sent me a present of willy cookie cutters a while ago which will def be put to use for cake shaping! BV, now is your chance! :)
Just thought I'd keel you updated, finished making the cage today! Decided not to spray it black as I kind of like the rough look of it, the canes aren't uniform enough to spray it black.
You can get red sticky back plastic self adhesive vinyl film in transparent red off Amazon or other stockists.
We used to use it in the printing trade but it would be ideal to stick over your windowsto give a red glow from that street ligh and it would peel off easily afterwards
