It’s become a tradition that every year I round up a group of friends for a tea party. If you saw last summer’s post, we ventured to Sugar’s Tea Room in Forty Fort, PA, but this time around I hosted the party at my apartment and added a new aspect–a Glam Punk dress code.
The party was a lovely success–there were cakes, tea sandwiches, party favors, eight types of tea, and a springy floral decor.
I loved the wide array of outfits. When I established the Glam Punk theme I offered no explanation as to what it entailed, hoping that everyone would offer their own unique spin (so do not whine at me saying “Hey, that’s not Glam Punk!” We took some creative liberties.).
I DIYed some of my outfit–layered a torn-up old skirt over a fitted mini, styled one of my wigs into a small pompadour, and finished off the outfit with a Heavy Red underbust corset and an Abbey Dawn biker jacket.
The lovely lady, Ali Territory, brought a bit of a pin-up spin to her look, rockin a Hell Bunny dress and some “absolute territory” thigh highs (nerd reference, anyone?).
Darling Stewie called her look “Gaga on crack,” but it was the general consensus that she looked like a lost member of Jem and the Holograms. She scored her awesome lavender wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs, and it left her absolutely glowing (literally) in every pic..
My roommate went in an unexpectedly daring direction with her outfit. That’s straight-up acrylic paint she has circling her eyes…
The darkly romantic outfit my friend Cassie wore was a wonderful contrast to the rest. I loved all the accents and details of her vintage dress.
Our one later-comer to the party added some much-needed gender diversity, and in my opinion, he just might rock my Jeantrix eyepatch even better than I do…
Now that this year’s party is but a memory, I can’t help but already start thinking forward to the next. Any ideas what my next theme should be?
Sci Fi THEME.
Looks like you all had a great time. Fun outfits
