Sep 28instant vintage : 09.2009 : Point of Clarification (Uncategorized)
While going through my spam filter, I found a comment that basically accused me of violating the migratory bird act because I sell castings that look a lot like bird parts. I have a strict “NO ASSHOLE” policy re: comments here, so it won’t be posted (remember to ask before you ASSume ladies and gents), but I wanted to clarify for anyone who was wondering. Each piece in Talonalia was cast from items from a taxidermist’s shop. Molds were made and the final products are completely brass. I do not sick my army of cats on wildlife, because that would be dreadful. Besides, I’m way too squeamish to engage in that activity.
Everything in Instant Vintage, however, was made from the precious breath of newborn children that I stole with a device similar to the one the Skeksis used to steal Gelfling essence in The Dark Crystal. It’s possible that I’ve violated tons of laws making the stuff there, so make sure you report me to the proper authorities.
And speaking of, here are several pictures of me wearing my huge ass (and conflict-free) Owl Talon necklace:

Seriously? Someone actually thought that you use REAL bird parts?
Hahahahaaa!
Then again, I can understand WHY they would think that. They look so real! Come to think of it, I would have probably asked the same thing, had I not known you.

I probably died in a fit of hysteria when you said “the breath of newborn babies.” You’re my hero.
Girl your style is amazing. I love the shirt/skirt/dress thing.

Your dress….I require it immediately! It looks fabulous on you.

Oh my gosh — that dress – skirt – shirt! Amazing!!
Also, just proves why you need to keep that “no asshole” policy in place… some people man…

See, THIS is why I emailed you to ask. Because I do see lots of designers using animals parts (skulls and bones mostly) from animals that have died naturally… but for them to assume? That’s effed up. I remember being chewed out by someone on a guest post on Miss Malaprop because the indie designer I promoted used reptile skins that they received from a local organization (from after the animals had died).
Off that note… I LOVE the owl talon! From the measurements, I was worried about the size, but I think it’s absolutely perfect as is…

LOL @ “conflict free”! I love it!

.-= Lisa´s last blog ..Fall, oh how I love you. =-.
That is hysterical! Love that dress on you
.-= Ms. Butterfly´s last blog ..MaryJane =-.
Hmm…I thought that they were just made up. I didn’t know they were molded from real (dead) bird feet. And I damn sure didn’t think that you killed some birds to make a necklace. I mean, DAMN! Did this dude really think that you were “violating migratory patterns” just to make costume jewelery? Doesn’t this idiot have bigger fish to fry? Shouldn’t he be bugging KFC, Popeye’s or some shit? I mean really. Get a life, dude.
P.S. This is exactly the kind of post I was asking for. I would have never thought to do this. LOVES IT!
Ha! Let ‘em know gurl.
.-= trE´s last blog ..We Are Heroes takes it! =-.
You know you’re getting big when a self-righteous asshole comments!

Love the stack of bracelets. Your accessories are always what bring the outfit to the next level.
