i wanna bolt. no, literally.

hey, for those of you who spend time at blow up (and actually … for anyone who’s into couture party accessories in general), we wanted to let you know that our girl franchesca (miss blow up usa finalist back in january) just launched a new blog site featuring some of her eyewear and headpiece designs. all unique, all hand-made, all fierce.

button your lips. err, eyes.

franchesca makes all of her stuff by hand, along with another one of our girls, ari. they literally use everyday stuff like bolts and screws and buttons to make “accoutrement” that really stand out on the dance floor. they’re just a killer pair of ladies who love the concept of expressing who you are and decided to do something about it. check ‘em out if you have a chance.

outside of the designs, i was super touched by franchesca’s first post on the site because she gives a lot of credit to to blow up, in terms of finding a place where she could express and be herself. *heart strings* i’ve always felt like blow up was a lot more than just a party, and her post says a lot in confirming that. thanks for sharing it, girl.

xox,
ava
