craftgrrlA friend of mine had a "White Trash"-themed birthday party this past weekend, and I made him a gift basket, plus a little something to wear for myself...
Preggo-Britney was the inspiration for my outfit--I wanted to make one of those 'strappy top/dress' things that she wears all over the place. When I saw this fabric (red, with hot pink flowers and acid-green crabs!), I knew that it would be perfect:
(the dress by itself, so you can see the colors)
(a pic of me wearing said dress)
I ended up wearing it with a pair of those fake Uggs-style boots and cutoff shorts, and I've never been so comfortable in my life. It also makes a great nighshirt, so I'm planning to use the remaining fabric to make a little pair of pajama shorts to go with it.
(the "gift basket" [which is actually an oil-drip pan instead of a basket])
The contents:
--one really disgusting, slutty postcard of the Barbi twins
--one bag of Flamin' Cheetos
--the beef jerky that comes in the "snuff-style" cannister (since he quit smoking years ago)
--a can of WD-40 and a roll of duct tape
--Miller Lite coozie (we deemed the Genuine Draft coozie to be too high brow)
--Pop-Rocks, flaming 8-ball car air fresheners, and a bottle of "Vibrant Mullet" shampoo (my inspiration for the whole thing--it's muscle car scented!)
--'Jerry Springer' shirt that I stencilled with freezer paper and MUCH meticulous stencil-cutting
(the front of the JS shirt, complete with "oil" stains)
(cruddy pic of the back of the shirt, w/ grey and sparkly blue paint)
(a much better picture of the back, whilst hanging from the makeshift clothesline strung across the kitchen)
He actually thought that I had bought it, which I take as a complete compliment. Man, I love making people stuff.
(Hopefully no one is offended by this post--the whole party was purely meant all in fun. Plus, two words: NASCAR PINATA!)
ETA the last two shots that I forgot - A pic of the birthday boy loving his new tank top and the dress (and my big bazooms) in action.
