Mr.Hublot







Mr. Hublot is a short animated film that looks pretty wonderful.

Here is the plot outline en français

Monsieur Hublot vit dans un monde absurde, où se côtoient des personnages rapiécés, recousus, en partie mécanique, véhicules démesurés, un monde où le gigantisme de la mécanique et l'acharnement à la récupération, règnent en maître.

Bourré de tocs, de manies, effrayé par le monde extérieur, reclus sur lui-même, Mr Hublot déteste le changement et les imprévus. Il a d’ailleurs trouvé une parade très efficace à cela : ne jamais sortir de chez lui ! L’arrivée du chien Robot Pet va chambouler ses habitudes, contraint et forcer de faire vie commune avec son nouveau compagnon très envahissant…

You can stay connected with the project through Facebook or follow them on Twitter. Shout out to Steampunk Canada for posting the movie poster this morning.

Historical Lingerie & Corset Dressing Sequence by Lace Embrace



The Lingerie Addict made this wonderful video of the lovely Melanie Talkington of Lace Embrace at her annual Antique Corset Fashion Show at Hycroft Mansion.

I've mentioned Melanie before, and am the proud owner of 2 corsets made by her. After watching this video I feel as though I made need to add another to my collection(?) just how many things does it take to be a collection anyway?

Been thinking for awhile that it was time to get another Xbox, this pretty much seals the deal.
