nude slip dresses are OUT for fall 2021… the mantua is IN!
i want to look like an absolute wedding cake when i step outside (if i can fit through my front doorway, that is)!
i want to be PILED with lace and embroidery!
who cares about a ‘bikini body’… if my butt isn’t the shape of a massive rectangle, i don’t want it!
who needs pockets when you can fit, like, 3 people, 2 dogs, a pony, and your immense ego (due to looking so fabulous, ofc) under your skirt?
forget the kardashians, i’m taking my fashion inspo from marie antoinette now!
in conclusion: the mantua was a GREAT look and i have NO idea why we as a society ever let it fall out of favor. ok, ok, it might have had something to do with the massive skirts restricting mobility & catching on fire easily, but still. bring back mantuas 2k21!

Tiny wife enjoys traveling in her husband’s hat 💖
Chiyo (wife) is normally angry, but Saito knows how to calm her down. Nothing like a traveling on your husband’s hat.
Toreador lovers from my renaissance themed campaign. Not sure if it`s ok to tag that as vtm, as I tried to make them look less like vampires and more like regular humans. Youngest son of a Florentine nobleman and a famous painter from Siena, still clinging to mortal identities and beliefs. No need to be a monster yet, they have centuries to lose everything that is dear to them. Just a moment of inner peace and sensuality, years before everything goes wrong.
Story of my Toreador`s unlife, full of religious symbolism and historical bullshit because I`m a nerd.
I finally finished my references for ArtFight this year, let the battle begin!!!
