Symphony In Purple
This picture is an outfit I wore for a night at the Seattle Symphony. In the fall of 2007, they presented an evening of theme music from science fiction movies and television shows. Or as my mother said, "They're playing your songs." George Takei was a special guest and they said that costumes were encouraged. Clearly, it was one of those nights at the symphony made just for me.
The dress I'm wearing was actually a bridesmaid's dress that was made for me for a friend's wedding. We hand-dyed yards of silk for her dress, which was made to look like purple bird's-eye maple texture. She let me pick the pattern of my dress, and she selected the fabrics. It's a classic Empire gown pattern done in very modern textiles.
I made the fan myself by gluing purple feathers onto a bare fan frame. The wig is a favorite of mine, which I've nicknamed "Lilah."

The Purple Lady
I traveled to Las Vegas one October to attend a gathering of folk I had met in CA the summer before. One of the events was a Witches and Wizards Ball, a social/dance event held inside a very cool multi-media space. They did lots of lights and had a great soundsystem.
Everyone was encouraged to dress in costume and I decided to just go as a Purple Lady. Since I was flying to Vegas, having a costume that could be utterly smushed in luggage was really paramount. This one traveled perfectly.
The dress was one that was given to me by a former boyfriend. It's purple panne velvet and is sort of a fantasy maiden dress. The wig is a deal I got from a past retail-oriented job. After-Halloween markdown combined with an employee discount was what made me bring the "putple cotton candy porn star" wig home.
Then there are my witchy black-and-purple-striped tights. I've been to gatherings where a good quarter of the women who show up are wearing striped tights. Why do we all do it? Because of the tights worn by the Wicked Witch of the East in the Wizard of Oz movie. Her black-and-white-striped legs are all you see jutting out from under the house that was dropped on her, but most people only remember her ruby slippers. True witches remember her tights.

Purple Cowgirl
I was going out to a freaky street fair in San Francisco with some friends one year, and it was just one of those occasions when I had to do purple, and decided it had to be a purple-themed cowgirl or nothing.
I think having purple-trimmed chaps was what started off the whole outfit. The wig is one of those $20 jobs, and it sheds a lot, but since I was going to be outside, I decided the shedding wouldn't be a problem. But where to find a purple cowboy/girl hat at the 11th hour?
The drag queen store had them for $60 which was out of the question. Several stores had $40 felt ones, which were nice, but not the kind of thing to slather with purple paint. I finally found a white paper cowboy hat for $20 and then used purple acrylic paint to purple it up myself. If you try something like that, make sure to apply the paint sparingly, because if you get the hat too wet, it loses its shape.
I replaced the braided leather hatband with a big purple ribbon and violá! Purple Cowgirl!

A Purple Night Out
This is my custom-made purple metallic corset outfit. I'm out at a club in San Francisco in this shot. I was photographing a fashion show at the club that night and figured I might as well dress-up too.
It's actually a two-piece top. The corset part is an underbust corset and stops just below my boobs. Then there's a crop top that goes on over it and laces up the back to match. Worn together, it looks like one fantastic piece of purple armor. The corset is made from leather that's had a purple foil permanently applied to the outside surface.
And it gave me another reason to wear that huge purple wig of mine. Wigs can be very hot temp-wise to wear but they often make better effects and can be easier than doing your own hair up.
