This weekend I got to try my hand at acting in local film series "Everyday is a Journey". This was after my death scene. We were in a really fancy neighborhood in the middle of the afternoon. I couldn't have been more appropriately attired.

What I wore to Ifra's birthday house party. Sorry about the Lookbook hiatus.
My friend Keith Johnson swoops in with the first photo dump from Shade on Saturday! Me and some friends were modeling in the Artstar fashion show at the event. There was also a vogue-off and more! Here is a snap of the accessory table backstage at the show. Can you believe these Artstar accessories?? I got to wear that safety pin cuff on the lower left:
Here is the backstage chaos, me and Kindra are in the thick of it:
We got these balloon structures to wear on our heads:
I love how happy Ade is about this ring:
Butt shot. Check out my panty lines:
Artstar himself! I cannot get over these glasses:
Kindra was cracking me up. At rehearsal she walked the runway for a full two minutes commando in a mini skirt:
The show was called "Artstar Will Kill Us All" but I think it ended up killing Artstar:
Here's when things got glittery. Me, Lisa Dank, and Wiggy Stardust had a moment:
Wiggy had glitter on her for days:
Outfit number two. This is the last time with these scissors I swear:
This is completely dramatic:
With Artstar and his assistant Paul:
This is my boyfriend Kyle, isn't he dreamy?
Tits out. Glitter on:
Taking it to the streets!:
I found glitter confetti in my nose the next day...

"I RECENTLY HAD THE HONOR OF INTERVIEWING THE BEAUTIFULLY VIBRANT FASHION BLOG PERSONALITY, STELLA ROSE SAINT CLAIR. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY LEARNING MORE ABOUT HER AND CAN ENJOY THIS INSIDE SCOOP ON THE WOMAN BEHIND A STELLAR BLOG AS MUCH AS I DID.
STELLA ROSE SAINT CLAIR. 23. SEATTLE, WA.
BLOGGER | MODEL | FASHION DESIGNER | BURLESQUE AND DRAG PERFORMER | VISUAL ARTIST
Q: WHEN AND HOW DID YOU GET STARTED BLOGGING?
STELLA ROSE: I USED TO BLOG ON A LIVE JOURNAL ACCOUNT THAT I STARTED BACK IN 2008. I PLANNED ON JUST USING THE ACCOUNT TO PARTICIPATE IN FASHION COMMUNITIES BUT EVENTUALLY I REALIZED I SHOULD PROBABLY PUT THE BLOG PORTION TO GOOD USE. I SWITCHED OVER TO BLOGGER RECENTLY THOUGH WHICH I THINK IS A STEP UP.
Q: FOR ANYONE THAT HASN’T VISITED YOUR BLOG, WHAT DO YOUR POSTS CONSIST OF?
STELLA ROSE: MOSTLY ME, LET’S BE HONEST. MY DAILY FASHIONS, MY CLUB FASHIONS, PARTIES I’VE ATTENDED, SHOW’S I PERFORM IN, ITEMS I’VE MADE, SOMETIMES SHOPPING RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL. IT’S VERY VISUAL, I RESPOND WELL TO BLOGS THAT ARE PICTURE HEAVY.
Q: HAS YOUR BLOG ALWAYS BEEN TITLED “CONFESSIONS OF A FEMALE DRAG QUEEN”? WHAT INSPIRED THE TITLE?
STELLA ROSE: IT DIDN’T REALLY HAVE A TITLE UNTIL RECENTLY. AS FOR THE NAME, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IDENTIFYING AS A DRAG QUEEN RATHER THAN A GIRL. I DON’T FEEL FEMININE, I DON’T REALLY FEEL LIKE ANYTHING REALLY UNTIL I PUT MY FACE ON. JUST A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER WAITING TO BE COLORED ON. I THINK EVERYBODY IS BLANK TO BEGIN WITH. MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO STAY THAT WAY. I DON’T RELATE TO WHOEVER I AM UNDERNEATH, ONLY TO THE PERSON I CAN INEVITABLY BECOME. I GUESS THAT’S WHAT SETS ME APART FROM A LOT OF GIRLS. IT’S DRAG PLAIN AND SIMPLE. AN EXAGGERATION OF GENDER AND IDENTITY, FULL TIME. I GUESS YOU COULD CALL THAT MY FEMALE DRAG QUEEN CONFESSION!
Q: WHAT INSPIRES YOUR UNIQUE FASHION SENSE? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
STELLA ROSE: I DON’T LIKE TO LABEL WHAT I DO. I’D MUCH RATHER LEAVE IT UP TO EVERYONE ELSE, LET PEOPLE FORM THEIR OWN IDEAS ABOUT IT. I’M INSPIRED BY A TON OF THINGS-COURREGES, NINA HAGEN, LIQUID SKY, OVER-SIZED HAIRSTYLES, THE COCKETTES, LITTLE GIRLS, AND G.G. ALLIN JUST TO NAME A FEW. I LIKE TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM UNLIKELY PLACES SOMETIMES, I ALSO LIKE TO LOOK BACK TO DIFFERENT DECADES, FORGOTTEN ICONS, OBSCURIA. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH CULTURE IS THAT NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK PAST THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO THEM FOR IDEAS AND INSPIRATION. IT MAY BE THE REASON THAT SUBCULTURES SURVIVE BUT IT’S ALSO THE REASON I RESENT BEING CALLED “LADY GAGA” EVERY DAY ON THE STREET.
Q: WHAT, IN FASHION DESIGN, IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO CREATE?
STELLA ROSE: RIGHT NOW? HATS. I’VE BEEN MAKING UNIQUE HEART SHAPED HATS THESE DAYS. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO FELT SO I CAN MAKE MY OWN BERETS AND MORE STRUCTURED DESIGNS BUT I WISH THERE WERE A VEGAN FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO THE CRAFT. I ALSO LIKE TO MAKE BOWS. IF A HAT ISN’T RIGHT FOR AN OUTFIT THEN CERTAINLY A BOW IS.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STORE TO SHOP AT AND WHY?
STELLA ROSE: I GOT REALLY ADDICTED TO THE JAPANESE LOLITA BRAND “ANGELIC PRETTY” RECENTLY BUT THE DOLLAR HAS BECOME SO WEAK IT MAKES IT TOO EXPENSIVE TO BUY THESE DAYS. I ENJOY SHOPPING VINTAGE MOSTLY. THERE IS A STORE HERE IN SEATTLE CALLED “LUCKY VINTAGE” THAT I’M CRAZY ABOUT. I AM SURE TO FIND A FRILLY UMBRELLA OR A WILD PAIR OF HEELS IN MY SIZE EVERY TIME I GO IN!
Q: HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELING?
STELLA ROSE: I’VE NEVER THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS A MODEL BUT I SUPPOSE HANGING AROUND DESIGNERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS I’VE JUST KIND OF FALLEN INTO IT. I LOVE DOING PHOTOSHOOTS AND COMING UP WITH WILD LOOKS FOR THEM AND SETTING SCENES. YOUR ENVIRONMENT BECOMES YOUR ACCESSORY.
Q: WHAT DRAWS YOU TO DRAG PERFORMANCE? HOW DID YOU GET INTO IT, AND WHY DO YOU DO IT?
STELLA ROSE: GROWING UP I WAS ALWAYS VERY MUCH SURROUNDED BY GAY CULTURE. I DISCOVERED DRAG AS A CHILD IN THE EARLY 90’S WHEN IT WAS FLOURISHING AND BEGAN TO DABBLE IN IT MYSELF! EVEN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I WAS TRYING ON WIGS AND FINDING AN OPPORTUNITY HERE AND THERE TO PARADE AROUND IN YELLOW LIPSTICK AND A DRAMATIC VINTAGE HAT. I REMEMBER PINING OVER MY MOMS CLUB PHOTOS FROM 1980S NYC. THE FASHIONS, THE MAKEUP, THE COLORS WERE LIKE CANDY TO ME. LIKE ALL DIFFERENT FLAVORS THAT I WAS WAS DYING TO TASTE. IT SOUNDS FUNNY BUT AS A CHILD SEEING A DRAG SHOW GAVE ME THE SAME FEELING AS BEING AT AN ICE CREAM SHOP. IT’S ALSO THE REASON I’VE RETAINED SUCH A STRONG SUGAR ADDICTION. DRAG AT IT’S BEST IS A COMBINATION OF BEAUTY AND FILTH. IT’S A BIT LIKE THOSE LOLLIPOPS WITH THE MEAL WORM INSIDE. IT POKES COMPLETE FUN AT ITSELF WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BEING BETTER THAN YOU, AND I THINK IT’S GENIUS.
Q: DESCRIBE YOUR TYPICAL DAY.
STELLA ROSE: I THINK FROM MY PICTURES IT MIGHT APPEAR THAT I’M CONSTANTLY NAKED, COVERED IN GLITTER, AND DANCING. AND WHILE THAT IS PARTIALLY TRUE IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT I EAT BREAKFAST, RIDE THE BUS, AND USE THE TOILET JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE! IF I’M NOT DOING SOMETHING FABULOUS I LIKE TO SPEND MY DAY SEWING AND COOKING GOURMET FOODS.
Q: IF YOU COULD FORESEE YOUR LIFE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WHAT CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING?
STELLA ROSE: IDEALLY, JUST WHAT I’M DOING NOW BUT MORE AND BETTER. PROBABLY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. HOPEFULLY WITH A REALLY GREAT HAIRSTYLE.
Q: IF YOU HAD THE OPTION OF TIME TRAVELING TO LIVE IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD, WOULD YOU? IF SO, WHAT PERIOD WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO TRAVEL TO AND LIVE IN? WHY?
STELLA ROSE: THE SIXTIES DEFINITELY. I’M IN LOVE WITH THE TEENAGE CULTURE OF THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THE MUSIC. THE DECADE AS A WHOLE HAD SUCH A STRONG IMPACT ON NEARLY EVERYTHING. SHOCK VALUE ACTUALLY REALLY MEANT SOMETHING BACK THEN. THERE WAS SO MUCH EMOTION AND EXCITEMENT IN ART BACK THEN, SOMETHING YOU DON’T SEE TOO MUCH THESE DAYS.
Q: DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE AND TOUCH UPON WHY AND HOW THIS PLACE INFLUENCES YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. (THIS CAN RANGE FROM A COUNTRY, TO A ROOM, TO A PLACE INSIDE YOUR HEAD.)
STELLA ROSE: I THINK I’M STILL LOOKING FOR THAT PLACE. ONCE ME AND MY FRIENDS BUILD A HOUSE OUT OF CARDBOARD AND PLAYED A SHOW IN IT. I FEEL LIKE THAT IDEAL PLACE NEEDS TO BE MADE WITH MY OWN HANDS, OR LIKE THAT ONE WAS, OUT OF CARDBOARD, TAPE, SPRAY PAINT, AND PORNOGRAPHY.
Q: WHAT’D YOU EAT FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING? WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BREAKFAST FOODS?
STELLA ROSE: A SMOOTHIE WITH BANANAS AND PINEAPPLE AND SOYMILK. I USUALLY EAT OATMEAL WITH BROWN SUGAR OR HOMEMADE JAM. I LIKE SWEET BREAKFASTS BUT HEALTHY ONES. MUFFINS AND FRUIT JUICE.
Q: IF YOU WERE A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER, WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU PLAY AND WHY?
STELLA ROSE: I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMIC BOOKS. I GUESS I SORT OF FEEL LIKE A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER ALREADY. EXCEPT THAT I CAN’T FLY. I SHOULD REALLY BE ABLE TO FLY. IF I WAS AN EXISTING ONE, I WOULD BE BARBIE FROM THE OFFICIAL BARBIE COMICS FROM THE 1960S. SHE ALWAYS LOOKS SO LOVELY AND EVERYONE IS JEALOUS OF HER. AND SHE CAN DO EVERYTHING! MAYBE EVEN FLY!
Q: WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF DO YOU THINK MAKES YOU WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT?
STELLA ROSE: I’M HAVING A TON OF FUN SHARING MY LOOKS AND MY IDEAS WITH WHOEVER IS LISTENING. I LOOK AT BLOGS FOR INSPIRATION AND AM SO HAPPY WHEN I CAN RETURN THE FAVOR TO MY OWN READERS! I FEEL LIKE IF I’M DOING THE THINGS THAT I LOVE I MAY AS WELL SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD AS MUCH AS I CAN.
Q: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME INTERVIEW YOU, AND FOR BEING SUCH A DYNAMITE, UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL.
STELLA ROSE: THANKS LADY! YOU ARE SO SWEET TO INCLUDE ME ON YOUR BLOG! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

A couple teasers from the Artstar Fashion show on Saturday. I snapped these of myself backstage:
Friday was the last Fringe ever. It's been going weekly for a little under a year and the rotating themes have kept me dressed to impress. For the final fringe I opted for a dark funeral-esque look and piled on as much black fringe as I could. Can anyone say fringe false lashes? You saw it here folks!
I leant my giant scissors to Kindra so she could wear them to the actual Scissor Sister concert last night! Kindra is my "Drag Mama" and it shouldn't be hard to see why. These scissors certainly get around!
On Saturday me and Wiggy Stardust were gogo dancers at Girl 4 Girl and we decided to go as "scissor sisters" which was actually my boyfriends idea! The theme was "Diva" so we just kind of combined the two and came out looking like this:
Nobody could tell us apart even though our hairstyles were different. Do you think we look alike?
We made the headpieces out of some novelty scissors Wiggy found at Archie Mc Phee:
I still had makeup on from the Tokyo fashion show earlier that day! I just darkened it a little and added the star.
I'm glad I know how to do star makeup now! I got really OCD about making it perfect and it's still a little uneven. How can Paul Stanley manage to get his so perfect night after night???
On Saturday the Bunka Womens college in Tokyo put on a fashion show here in Seattle. I grabbed some local lolita ladies to accompany me to the event.
I gave myself my little pony hair with a pink to silver fade. God, I can't wait until my hair is really this long:
I can't believe my friend Erik found this amazing sailor dress at Goodwill! It's from the early 90's and it's in perfect condition! I think it was made for me. Also I'm a dork. Do you like the new pastel manicure?:
I went with my Gay Husband, Kevin Kauer:
Here is our crew. These girls made a lot of their own gear. Indigo made her black and white striped skirt and our colorful friend towards the left made her purple dress AND her mint green blouse! I suspect miss Aimee in the middle also made her own frock.
Totally want this girl to make me a wild blouse now!
Camille was at the show too in a 50's housewife meets pirate lady get up, the beginnings of a new trend in fashion I hope:
The fashions were totally wild at the show though I feel like they have been better in the past. Nevertheless, I present you with... The Neo Garden Party look:
The outer space ball pit coordinate (actually this lit up in the dark!):
And my personal favorite the one legged jumpsuit from the teddybear leatherette collection:
Is anyone else craving a faux leather onesie besides me?? Just checking...
