You don't have to go to the zoo to see the animals!
nick blinko butterfly patch by Cadet Cactus
Sir Fancy Rabbit field bag from Shana Logic.
"I must say, isn't the weather awfully dreadful for this time of year?"
Kitty Love necklace, again from Shana Logic.
Kitties might not be portable or made for sticking in your handbag like those ridiculous tiny dogs, but you can keep this one with you. And it's adorable. Just like the real thing.
Gwendoline the sock monkey from Melvin and Delilah on Etsy.
Red and pink striped socks are awesome. And so are monkeys. So this is twice the awesome!
Sometimes, you just need to say it with teeth...
The Monster Wallet from Bags That Bite
- seriously, how can you resist this little guy?!?!?
Little Rattlesnack Necklace by Marmar.
I don't think deadliness has ever been so cute.
Bite Me cross stitch from Boston Hooligan.
There is something inherently amusing about swearing, rude words and attitude done in that craft most known for the saccharin.
Snakey scarf from Shana Logic.
This would be the only time when it would be OK to wrap a snake several times around your neck!
The iPhone or iTouch from Shana Logic.
What better way to protect your expensive gadget than with something with teeth?
These are just some of the tattoos I've found on flickr that I find beautiful, or interesting, or cool, or amazing. There's a bit of a theme running through them all - they're all black work! I think I prefer black work to anything else.

Moon patch from plasticdollhouse
This is a customisable tarot pendant of The Moon made by Nillakitty. It is made in fine silver, and available in any of the major arcana (eg the Fool, the Empress, Death, etc.).
Alice by Stephen Rothwell customised Moleskine, via Modofly. Sadly, they used to have many more designs but they all seem to have disappeared. Hopefully they're bringing them back or have new ones on the way. Wait.... just found the answer to my question - Modofly on flickr.
Silk batik petal pixie apron skirt by Chopstix Waits. She also makes other pretties with lots of patchwork. Well worth a look just to see her tattoos!
Leather spats for high heels by Ashes and Empires.
Very cute snuggly hat (and vegan friendly) from idolatre.

One of my favourite sellers of all is Crude Things. A former hairstylist, she now makes wigs and clothing and art that really delights. And she has the most amazing tattoos, too.
Elvy Ess is an Australian designer based in Melbourne, with a range of designs based on the insect world.
Beautiful Anatomical Corset by Louise Black Designs
I really do have a soft spot for bloomers. When done well they are just so pretty and adorable and practical all at the same time. Somehow I picture myself in pretty lace skirts, bloomers, and stompy boots (but of course) lolling and rolling about in the grass, skirts and legs all over the place and my bloomers clearly showing.
The "Victorian carnival looking flare coat in black and off white stripes", Crude Designs by Lana. Not only does she make the most wonderful clothes, but she also does art and big snuggly hats. And Lana herself has great tattoos!
Gorgeous bloomers from Vecona. I believe they often design things for Emilie Autumn. They only have a small selection of clothing, but they do encourage custom orders, which is awesome! Particularly when your proportions aren't exactly model size.
Yet more bloomers! This time from Totally Waisted Corsets on Etsy. The corsets are quite lovely as well.
Swishy pretty poofy Tulle Ballgown from Arsenic Fashions. They will custom make one for you in whatever colour you like, even plus size! And because it's such a simple yet effective skirt, it's open to customisation.
Victorian Skirt in PVC from Gallery Serpentine. I'm not usually a huge fan of PVC, but for some reason in this context I actually like it. I think it's something to do with the fact that it's Victorian in style and PVC is most definitely not Victorian. Not last time I checked, anyway.
Also from Gallery Serpentine is this skirt from their Bridal Bouquet collection. Now, I'm not about to run out and get married, but I think this is pretty all the same.

Mitch Lift Boots from Pennangalan.
Premier Ballerina shoes from Rosechocolat. Now these are something I would consider wearing! Very cute.
Gothic Geta Sandals by Deorart. Those crazy Japanese!
I have a confession to make. I love shoes. The kind of shoe that is practical yet has some form of style. Here's a few that fit that category, and a few more that are so far from practical (and comfortable!).
The Lara Croft Tomb Raider boots from Pennangalan. Perfect for kicking butt.
The Ninja Tabi from AYYA wear. I've posted these before, and they will be posted again, I love them that much!
These beautiful tabi are from Tokyomade. If you have a look under Wa style they have similar gorgeous items that include pretty Japanese fabrics.
Of course, if you want ridiculous...
Punitive Shoes can help you out!
New Rock Neptune platform boots. Gorgeous stompy goodness in a platform boot. What more could a girl-that-likes-stomping want?
Yet another pair of tabi! These are the ultimate in comfortable shoes (apart from those daggy orthopaedically approved kind of shoes that have the grandpa/grandma market covered). These tabi are from Ninja Tabi, where they also have a whole stack of other Tabi, including more practical ones that are partially waterproof.

the celestia tatterskirt from gibbous fashions
the theorna faery dress
the theorna faery dress is an
elegant map of antique patches.
made in the muted colours of
pale blue, cream, tan & white,
it looks like it could have risen from
the river on the body of a water spirit!
the bust is a textured decollete'
of crochet, lace, & stitches
(adorned with tiny vintage buttons,
of course).
the straps are adjustable and
the dress is slip-style,
with no zipper.
there are remnants sewn in from
the early 1900s, and there are tattered
bits of cursive writing lurking
about as well.
there is a very old thread sampler
stitched to the bottom left
of the dress for another touch
of ephemera & history.
truly one-of-a kind,
this garment could be
a patchwork river faery's daily attire."
These are the most beautiful tatters I have ever seen. Every item has such fine detail, such rich history, and such care taken in its creation. gibbous fashions reminds me of: the modern day transients of America (see the polaroid kidd), Victorian times past, of found objects, old vintage lace...
Some of the strangest, wackiest, and weirdest finds in fashion. Slip down the rabbit hole...

This coat is called the Snöögle - and yes, it's made for two! Ilanio Wear have even made a FAQ about it! From Ilanio Wear
