I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills.

You can call me the DIY queen these days (aka I'm too poor to buy anything new). I saw a photo floating around the blogosphere of this way sweet jacket with crazy ass spikes that I finally tracked down as Doina from the Golden Diamonds. I was feeling kind of risky so I bought a shit ton (I would say a shit ton = over 250) of studs & spikes in bulk & was determined to recreate my plain faux leather jacket from F21 into a piece of brilliant art. I really like the way it turned out BUT I'm not sure if I wanna keep going & stud the entirety of both sleeves or maybe the whole back or front, etc. OR if I wanna just leave it alone with the spikes. Less is more or more is more?

    You know what Stacey? You really need to stop making me fall in love with you. Dramarama lyrics, for reals? That's like one of the best songs ever; you are blowing my mind.

    Keep going with the jacket -- it's awesome, and more is more. Also, I really like these pictures of you. Is that a creepy thing to tell someone?

    i like it how it is, but more studs can never be a bad thing! looks awesome, where did you get the spike studs from, they are so expensive on ebay and the spikes look much better than pyramid studs!

    I love the way the jacket looks right now - but I think it would look just as good with more studs too! Can't wait to see what you do with it! :)
