Ava Adore

In the Locker:

A list of my costumes, since I tend to refer to them by their nicknames… Also, I wear the following shoes: Delight-662, Delight-1012, Teeze-05 Red. Last updated February 21st, 2010.

* is a favourite right now.
+ is a newly added outfit.
- is one I don’t wear much.

DRESSES:

• * Halestorm: The namesake’s ‘gear corset’ band tee, which I slashed the sides and ripped up the back, then sewed into a dress with black lace trim and a bow.
• * Second Skin: A ripped up skin tight white tube dress with a backless cutout, made by our in-house designer. I love it, it’s one of the sexiest costumes I have. I usually wear black fishnets and a Victoria’s bra.
• Cherry Kirsch: A retro cherry print halter dress with red fence fishnets as inspired by this photo. Now one of my trademark outfits at the House.
• + Maltese: A silver tiger bandeau top dress with a slate carolina blue knit bottom that’s super short.
• + Xs&Ohs: A little red dress to go with my red heels that’s just right: a mix of punk and pin-up.
• + Burnout: I love burnout tees, so this was a logical addition to my rock wardrobe. Worn with my Heavy Metal Laundry cuffs.

 TIER SKIRTS:

• * V2.0: An updated version of Punk Rock Princess; Victoria’s bra, black vest, Hustler red plaid ‘reform’ skirt, matching red plaid tie, Heavy Metal Laundry cuffs.
• Punk Rock Princess: Tripp shrug top, Victoria’s bra, Hustler red plaid ‘reform’ skirt, studded belt, ripped fishnets, ankle cuffs.
• Lace Domme: Black tiered lace Forplay skirt with big bow on the ass, Leg Avenue black lace chain top, black riding crop.
• Ska-rling: A ska-inspired set: red trim checker derby skirt, checker arm warmers, black hoodie top, and checker bow. Blame this.

TIGHT SKIRTS:

• * Limewire: A favourite that our house designer made for me, it’s a black fishnet tubetop with flourescent lime underlay in the front, a black fishnet mini with lime hem.
• * Pinot Noir: A super-tight wine coloured PVC Lip Service skirt, black Victoria’s bra, black PVC hot shorts underneath.
• + Little Reckless: A torn-up The Pretty Reckless tank top, cut up and tied up in two pieces, worn with a rhinestone bra.
• Lisa Frank: Like Lisa Frank had a party on a bikini top, a leopard print in all shades of neon. Worn with Limewire’s bottom or black hot shorts.
• Stelmaria: A black leopard print on white miniskirt with a circle cut out at the hip and matching scrunch top, from Los Angeles. If you get the reference for this costume’s name, I’ll give you a cookie.

SHORTS:

• * Closer: I was inspired by this outfit in the movie Closer, so I made my own, only mine is all white. Little known fact: when I worked as a shotgirl, my name was Jane, and it’s a reference to this movie.
• + Sour Cherry: An itsy bitsy, teeny weeny not-polka dot bikini. This one’s got one of my favourite patterns: cherries. The lace and white background will make a great UV glow.
• + Deus ex Machina: A brown zipper Clockwork Couture bodice with red lace shorts, a red bra, a brown and red Victoria’s Secret garter, and brown leather buckle jod straps for my upper thighs.
• Rockabilly: Neon pink leopard print bikini top with black retro frills, black side-tie mini shorts which I tie in bows on the ass.

OTHER:

• Baby Firefly: Aeropostale ‘08 blue denim jeans with white pinstripes, a white halter top, white thong, white bandana around my neck. House of 1000 Corpses/Devil’s Rejects reference.
• Boifriend: H&M men’s white collared shirt, Aerie y-front undies, ‘athletic sock’ dual stripe knee high socks, black skinny tie. A fave I break out with my queer customers.. and so comfy.

Current count: 21.
And this is why I say I have too many costumes.
