eBay shop with tons of cute clothes!!

I wanted to share this shop/seller on eBay called "Refuse to be Usual" or "RTBU" They have a ton of cute fairy kei clothes! They've got shirts, hoodies, tutus, dresses, bloomers, tights, socks, and more! They also sell a lot of visual kei/punk type clothing, so if you go into the "shirts" section you may not see the fairy kei stuff buried in all the punk style, so I suggest going to the sellers "Items for Sale" section here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/runnickyrun/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 Then search for "decora" "cutie" or "fruits" to find the cute stuff!! Also try searching for "my little pony" "care bears" "yum yums" and "marie cat" Even if you don't buy anything take a look around for inspiration they have tons of photos for each item with full cords. I love this shop because I rarely see a clothing shop that is dedicated or has a dedicated section for fairy kei or decora, it seems more like fair

y kei is seen as the "little sister" of Sweet Lolita and only a sub-style. Here's a few pieces from this shop!

Again here is the link to the shop: http://www.ebay.com/sch/runnickyrun/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

And the ebay seller name is:

My Little Pony Triple Treat Necklace

Available for sale at Sugarcube Corner. A Sugar Cube Corner original, you won't find another like it any where else! (I dare you, go ahead and search!) There are many other My Little Pony necklaces on Etsy with smaller ponies, but none with a full sized G3 pony! I love the new Friendship is Magic series, but truly my heart lies with the G3 line of ponies that I grew up with in the 90's, so when I found a backpack full of G3 ponies at Good Will I didn't hesitate to buy it. The ponies have been sitting on my shelf for a while, and I figured I should really try and do something with them. So I threw caution to the wind, I said "I don't care if it's 'too big', I'm making a necklace!" And the result was something completely ridiculous yet absolutely fabulous! I loved giving this pony a new life in a new purpose. Are you daring enough to wear it??

Artist Will Cotton

You may have never heard of him, but you've probably seen his work. Will Cotton is an amazing painter who creates still lifes and landscapes from candy and confections. He was the creative director behind Katy Perry's "California Gurls" music video, and designed the cover of her "Teenage Dream" album.

What's amazing about his work is that he creates these elaborate scenes in his studio, and then painstakingly paints them with photo-realistic detail. He could just take a picture and call it day, and a photograph would be enough to make these images amazing (the Katy Perry album cover is a photograph). But the fact that he takes the time to paint these scenes really earns my respect.

I love his mastery over texture, which the paint medium probably adds to (visually is there much difference between a dollop of icing and a dollop of paint?). I imagine how hard it is to paint an ice cream cone as it melts. His paintings really are "landscapes". It's one thing to paint a still life with candy, it's another thing to turn those candies into trees and rivers and cliffs.

In an installation of his work in New York City he set up a temporary bakery that offered sweets like macaroons to viewers. What an amazing experience that must have been!

This statement from Cotton sums it up: "These paintings are all about a very specific place. It's a utopia where all desire is fulfilled all the time, meaning ultimately that there can be no desire, as there is no desire without lack."
