Finished my Lady Gaga swap pieces, at last!

For the Lady Gaga swap on the Den of Angels doll forum.  I love to do swaps, they get me to making things even when I don't really feel like it, and its a fun way to get new things and interact with other members.  I thought it was a brilliant idea for a swap and I couldn't wait to begin, but alas I was uninspired for the longest time, I simply could not think of anything to make!

Finally I found this super fun stretch lace in ivory with silver glitter dots and decided to make a short kimono.  Lady Gaga wears a lot of lace, and black and white, and my partner indicated that they would prefer the more high fashion Gaga to the crazypants meat dress Gaga  :P  The black studded ribbon trim made a very Gaga-ish obi belt (and saved me from making a corset/waist cincher!) that had a proper rebel feel.  She has some gold lame underpants on under it, and I made a silver sparkly hair bow and Mickey Mouse sunglasses and a cute little paper parasol  :)     I finished it just in time, and got it in the mail on the very. last. day.
