Description Christalyn Darkstar commissioned me to design an elaborate halloween costume inspired by the extravagant plumage of the peacock. She wanted something that would accentuate both her outgoing nature as well as her dark and mysterious side. I attached numerous peacock feathers and glittery ginkgo leaves, then created a detachable peacock tail she could hook under her bustle. We incorporated the colors and designs of her tattoos, and her fairy wings light up with encased LEDs.

Gorgeous photography by my sister Mary , during her visit to LA, with extra help from her husband and "Set Scientist" Matt Kardash, and Fairy Wrangler Andrew Papazian

Just happened to see your comment and... Oh my god, yes! I can totally see Sharon rocking this. So cool It also reminds me a bit of Sarah Brightman as Blind Mag in Repo! The Genetic Opera.

In other words, this is too cool for words
