Welcome, traveller.

I go by many names...

Some call me Mmmmystery Man...others know me as the Shadow Dweller. Some call me Secret Peter, where is he hiding, in a tree in a bush in a cupboard? No, he is inside yourself. Some call me chilli chicken ramen... others know me as clive. I am sometimes called Peppercorn, by the dutch. Some know me as Cilit Bang...

But you may know me simply as Laura

Questions? Ask away here my dears...

 

Not sure if ya’ll are aware but there’s a Rich Fulcher interview on the Australian radio station Triple J, who has had him on before, and also Noel’s been on.

Apparently something mentioned about a Boosh movie? Haven’t listened to the whole thing yet.

Anyway here is the link!

I’m sorry but how is Future Sailors even a thing that happened.

Like that is too much sexiness for reality.

Surely its some fan-made slashy concoction.

The Mighty Boosh.

Laura’s top tips for sewing a Luxury Comedy Jacket

Hey guys, so as you know I made myself Noel’s jacket from Luxury Comedy, to see and meet him last October. I get a lot of questions about how I made it, so here are my tips! I don’t claim to be any sort of ‘expert’ but I am a second year fashion student, so I do know my sewing!

  • Collect a LOT of reference pictures. Make sure you know the jacket inside and out! Colours, textures, shape, all that sort of thing is very important.
  • Find a pattern that is very similar. Sewing and pattern stores have a lot of patterns, try to find a long coat similar to his. You can add a bit more flare in the lower part.
  • Don’t skimp on the details! Make sure to turn under the edges, sew all the hems, and line and interface everything! This makes a more professional result. For each of the shapes on the jacket I cut it from the fabric, fused it to interfacing, pressed under the edges and stitched it on in matching thread.
  • Make up a draft coat in scrap fabric. You can use this to check the fitting and how it goes together. You can then use this draft to draw on the coloured shapes, and trace them off to make your patterns. MUCH easier than guessing, makes for an exact result.
  • Plan Plan Plan! Give yourself PLENTY of time to make this. It is very time consuming and if you cut corners or skimp on the details, you won’t get a very appealing result.

Remember that jackets are one of the most difficult things to sew. It is really really important to check that it all fits you correctly. And the little details are what makes it stand out. Like the peacock blue lining and the gold letters. Good luck and happy sewing everyone!

Hey, love! So I'm sure you've had your fair share of being bombarded with questions regarding your absolutely stunning LuxCom jacket. I really don't mean to be a bother but I was just hoping for a little advice. It's my first time with a sewing project so it's probably foolish of me to try, however anything would help! <'3

Hi there! No problem giving advice, it was a really challenging thing to make, and I admit I have quite a few years training (I am a fashion student)

  1. Collect a LOT of reference pictures. Make sure you know the jacket inside and out! Colours, textures, shape, all that sort of thing is very important.
  2. Find a pattern that is very similar. Sewing and pattern stores have a lot of patterns, try to find a long coat similar to his. You can add a bit more flare in the lower part.
  3. Don’t skimp on the details! Make sure to turn under the edges, sew all the hems, and line and interface everything! This makes a more professional result. For each of the shapes on the jacket I cut it from the fabric, fused it to interfacing, pressed under the edges and stitched it on in matching thread.
  4. Make up a draft coat in scrap fabric. You can use this to check the fitting and how it goes together. You can then use this draft to draw on the coloured shapes, and trace them off to make your patterns. MUCH easier than guessing, makes for an exact result.

These are my top tips, there are quite a few progress pictures in my archive you can use as reference, and don’t hesitate to ask me for advice!

I love that Noel references and obviously admires Jean Michel Basquiat. I always thought his style was very similair to that of the &#8220;radiant child&#8221;

You can tell Noel is quite taken with the Fountain of Youth porn fan fic as he brings it up a lot. Multiple interviews and even in the DVD commentary. Bet it did turn him on slightly. Bet he did touch himself.

14: Where did most of your money go?

Well, while a substantial amount of money went to rent and groceries and boring things… The largest amount of money went to seeing Noel Fielding numerous times and even flying interstate to see him. And most recently on tickets for three Emilie Autumn gigs.

17: Compared to this time last year, are you: (a) happier or sadder? (b) thinner or fatter? (c) richer or poorer?

(a) Happier!!!

(b) Fatter :(

(c) Poorer… but still happier!

28: What was your favourite film of this year?

I think my favourites lie between Brave, Ruby Sparks and The Devil’s Carnival… although I think these will soon be outdone by The Hobbit and Les Miserables!
