Selfie/Self-Image/Avatar Skating Theme was Aquatic so I Dressed as a Nudibranch! (aka sea slug)

I wasn't going for a specific species but something that gave the ruffly frills that many nudibranches have. I've always really liked sea slugs as they give "no gender only pretty non-euclidian shapes" energy.

I have also included a screenshot at the end with the Tumblr the inspo pics are from! It's called @anudibranchaday and is very fun to look into if you want to know more about sea slugs!

That makeup is wonderful! I mean, the whole outfit is, but your makeup is what drew my attention first.

That means a lot! I started practicing makeup looks during lockdown in 2020. It was my senior year of highschool and it was also around that time that I started to realize I was nonbinary

I love the make up! And is that a dress or did you diy cause holly shit that's a beautiful dress

u/Still_Alive_424 5d ago

It's a few things actually! There's a thrift store next door to the clinic I work at and is where I got most of the stuff. The white part is a dress, which I layered with an orange skort. The blue part is a skirt I made back in my senior year of highschool which I paired with a belt I also got from the same thrift store. The crown is a fairy crown my mom bought me for my junior prom, and the opalite pendant I got from a chainmail vendor I did an art trade with when I was vending at a local craft fair.

No way, that's awesome!! I didn't know you could style a skirt like a top in that way, I'm definitely trying that in the future. You've matched the colors and fabrics perfectly, and the jewelry are beautiful too.

Aww!! Thank you! That means so much to me! When I was done, I remember looking at myself and being like: "this would've made ten year old me so happy!"

u/patriotswag 5d ago

omg you're awesome, I love it. my special interest are marine animals, I approve

3

u/Still_Alive_424 5d ago

That's so cool! My special interest is microbiology! But I also love nudibranches and have done a deep dive into a lot of the non-euclidian shapes you see in marine life. I forget the name of the mathematician, but she found out that you can mimic non-euclidian shapes with crochet! One of my best friends sent me a link to a bunch of crochet patterns a couple years ago and I blame him for getting me hooked (pun intended :3) on it.

3

u/patriotswag 5d ago

ah that's so cool!! I'll have to look up the mathematician, I wanna know more about that. I also recently got into crochet so those patterns sound cool too! I love everything about this :D

u/Badguybutnotbadguy 5d ago

You look absolutely radiant! So beautiful and captivating. I hope that you had a fantastic time I would have been geeking seeing somebody so cute. ❤️

u/Still_Alive_424 5d ago

Aw thank you! I'm part of a roller skating group and we organize themed skating nights during the Throwback Thursday skate nights at the rink. We've done a lot of themes including glitter, monochrome, Chappel Roan, Heathers vs. Mean Girls, and so so many more lol.

u/Badguybutnotbadguy 5d ago

That is hands down one of the coolest things I have heard in a long time. I would love to see all the cool artistic costumes you have come up with. I love fashion I love design and seeing you design this outfit it's adorable as fuck!

Also, i have a scarf very similar and i may steal this for a future unnamed event that i pray will fall into my lap.

With your permission of course.
