Here's what I ended up wearing to Boy George's birthday. I didn't even find out I was going until an hour before hand, so I stole the arse ends of the two toy pony's Burger used on his hat (previous post) then made two slits in the sides to slide elastic waistband through. I then hand sewed this (easily unstitched the day after) to the shoulders of my jumpsuit from General Idea by Korean designer Choi Bum Suk. They were amazing when I danced and the pony tails were all over the place when Beyonce's 'Run the World' came on, a perfect song to dance to with power shoulders. Yep!

The black leather cuff was part of the impeccably designed invitation sent out by Korean designer Han Sang Hyuk for MVIO's spring/summer 2011 collection.


The gold & crystal earring was a gift from Korean designer Park Jong Chul from his label Line or Circle's FW 2010 collection.  I decided to change it up a bit and give it a pony tail of it's own by adding a chunk of hair from the wig Burger attached to his toy pony hat.

As you can see, the outfit Burger wore to Boy George's 50th birthday bash was effing perfection. He made a similar hat with a Barbie head & oversized doll arms last year and had been saving these two toy pony's for a special occasion. I guess Boy George's 50th is special enough, no?


The rear shot of the hat gives you the full effect of the wig which was attached to the upper back of the hat using nails. He sawed the two pony's in half and attached them to either side using a drill, then added gold chain for more detail. Quite heavy but a complete work of art.


This hairy belt thing is called a sporran and is traditionally worn over a Scottish kilt. It complements the blonde pony hair & wig perfectly and is also a great place to store your wallet & keys.

boy george turns 50!

WE MET BOY GEORGE! Holy biggest non-Korean celeb encounter of my life! I used to dance around the living room when I was like 5 years old to Karma Chameleon on my mom's record player. Burger knew some kids who knew Boy George who wanted more people to make wild shit to wear to his 50th birthday party so of course Burger obliged. He ended up making the best hat of the night out of two toy ponies, a big white safari style hat & a long blonde wig. It was so amazing that Boy George came up and complemented him on it - good job B! I got a snap of him in there but was too shy to be all 'Can I take my photo with you Mr. George?' Oh well, maybe next time. Outfits of the day coming soon for both Burger and myself to highlight the pony clothes, but for now enjoy the party pics! Also here's a link to an article my friend posted about the crowd at his party which is quite spot on & hilarious.
