Fashion Inspiration - "Blade Runner"

My other post about the movie Blade Runner is popular, so I thought I'd do another one, but more fashion-focused.
Rachel has kind of a glamorous 1940's goth thing going.



Look like her!

Pris has a punk-y style.

A Time To Dye

I had a few things that needed to be black...
yellow puff sleeve hoodie, pink long sleeve dress 

green shorts, pink swimsuit cover

pink long sleeve dress, seafoam sweater

I used a whole bottle of Rit Dye in a 10 gallon bucket.  I made the mistake of doing this in my bathtub and the black dye splashed all over the white porcelain...  Luckily I had some bleach on hand.
                                                           
I ended up not doing the pink dress because I didn't think I had enough dye.  And I was right--my stuff wasn't as black as I thought it would be.  (Then again, it could be the type of fabric that is causing this.)  In fact, the green shorts came out a really ugly dark green color!  Everything else looks pretty good.  Yes, the buttons on the sweater are still seafoam, but I think it looks cool.

I really think the best method for dyeing is the washing machine.  Even though I haven't used this method yet.  The reason why I didn't do it this way is because I use communal washers and I didn't want to be responsible for accidentally f***ing up anybody's clothes...Bad karma, you know.

I ended up doing my hair after that--darker and browner than usual.  I'm not photogenic at all--I tend to make weird faces--so I'll just post an internet pic of someone else with the same color...

Even though my favorite red is this...

But I'm trying to look like this again.  Boyfriend likes it.  ;-)
One of the few good pictures of me, only because my photographer sister took it.
I use the Joico Vero K-Pak color system.  Professional coloring at home can be a bit tricky, but it's worth it.  There are abundant YouTube videos and forums where you can learn how to do it.  These are the colors I used:
          


All the while, I had the perfect soundtrack.

Music For DIY-ing

TheCoolHunter.net has a great Weekend Playlist to help you chill out.  I think it would be great to listen to while doing a project!
I really like this one...

TheCoolHunter.net is a great site in general if you're interested in art, architecture, technology, and that kind of stuff.
