I’m a big fan of the first one up there of the person that did the later feather one. The one wearing green leggings and socks – or maybe those are other skant layers? Anyway, the first one, with the zipper jacket makes me think there is a leprechaun leering from the upper half, just waiting to unzip and flash us, if only we could see

these skants are getting my complete merkin stamp of approval – was reading in another post – someone was asking whether it was for real – YES it is. The skants were originally part of a collection JUNK LORE COuTURE – in the section titled NOW I’M CONFUSED… i found regretsy’s pick up on it hilarious and decided to join in the fun. I’ve also been getting heaps of questions regarding whether i am wearing 2 wigs or 1 … TWO.. It was a battle to decide what to put where
