Today is National Compliment Your Mirror Day, and I did take the time this morning to give myself a bit of a pep talk before I rushed out the door to drop off my youngest to camp and get to fittings for people I'm working with for the first time in this capacity. If you could give yourself one compliment right now that would encourage you, what would it be?
The creative path is not an easy one, and sometimes it involves pep talks, at other times almost a little self-bullying to get over the inertia, the cynicism, and the fear. I've been trying to give myself more grace and kindness, but it does not come easy to me yet. I still get up in my own head too much, but life is a constant work-in-progress.
I am sharing these pics of when I first completed my grape half-corset almost a decade ago, since I had my friend Danielle Waterman take pics of me looking in the mirror in before running wardrobe. I wore fancy blacks underneath so I could just jump into work afterwards, with a bustle skirt I created with safety pins and a feather headpiece from a vendor at my local Renaissance festival and my favorite pair of Steve Madden boots.

Day nineteen: Some swimsuits made from recycled clothing textures!
The Bella Goth corset tops that come with the basegame are iconic, but let’s be honest... we never really use them because they’re a Bit Much. But I wanted to pay homage to them before default replacing them, so I turned them into swimsuits.
In their full gaudy glory, they have matching nail polish, just like the original tops, and the pendant necklace has been reimagined as an anklet because I’m a 90s kid and I still think anklets are the height of cool:
The other swimsuits are based on a dress from the Sims 2 store. My first attempt on the typical nude mesh had vacuum puckering around the boobs that just looked awful. So I tried putting them on the afbodyswimwearsporty mesh, which gave it a kind of structured, sewn-in cup-support look that I really liked. You get three based on the original colours of the dress (pink, silver, and champagne), and then four new ones - black, navy, purple, and red. You don’t need the original dress to use these.
And lastly, I slapped the fishnet punk top from the basegame on a slightly recoloured bikini bottom, minus the arm tattoo, and with a more distinct fishnet texture.
