STINTAN'S BLOG

Where I've been + big Toshi wins!!

I know I don't post much anymore but I finally have time since I'm done with uni for now. I've been volunteering at a locak museum, and I've also been getting into 80s fashion. I was able to get my hands on this vintage shirt and skirt while looking at yard sales and charity shops. I got the hat as a gift, and collected all the pins on the jacket over time (the jacket isn't vintage, I already had it) - My main inspo for this style is def Molly Ringwald, if it wasn't obvious, lol. I try to combine all the different styles I like sometimes, I think people try to hard to fit into one specific "aesthetic" and I think it's just better to wear what you like. I hope i still look gyaru, though. I think I do... I also got the books from yard sales or my mom. I've been trying to start reading more. Last book I read on my own was in 2024, then in 2025 I got into the Vampire Chronicles series, and I've been trying to find something else to capture my interest since then. (My favorite genres are historical fiction and horror btw!) I've been trying so hard to find good historical romance novels but they're *ALL* regency/victorian and I'm looking for 18th century :,) The Paris book is just photography, but it was 50 cents and I thought it would help with drawing. The Amadeus CD was a huge win for me, I got it for 50 cents at a charity shop. I've been looking for one for months!

If you don't know, my favorite character in the Vampire Chronicles is Lestat. I love him sm, and I wanted to show off my Lestat collection- The big pillow is so funny! My boyfriend got it custom made for me lol. I made the figure and the itabag myself. I'm sad they'res so little merch of him that's not from the show (Because I haven't seen it -_-)... I guess I have to make it myself...

the last thing I wanted to mention is that I turned my basement into an art studio!! it was empty for years, and I would really only go there when I was having friends over before- I'm glad I actually made it look good now so the people I invite don't have to sit in an empty room. pls ignore how messy it is!! my most recent project is a new sketchbook that I'm decorating- I want to make a decoden sketchbook again since I have a LOT of new deco charms...

recent thrift finds

Hello lovlies!! I haven't written in a long time so I thought I'd share some interesting things I've bought recently. I started a collection of these small rococo statues and a few other similar items, most of these ones were accuumulated over 10 years but a couple of them are new. A lot of these were Christmas gifts from family. Also have some books and dvds in the center!!

Since I didn't have any more room for big ones, I snagged this little guy- Kinda looks like my oc Rossi? I liked his hat... + the weird mask thing, I really like these kind of masks and it's been one of my thrift grail items for a while. I got really lucky ig O_o

last I got this hat, necklace, and these figures- I can't believe I found authentic Cutey Honey figures at a thrift store!! Not a very popular character, but I love her, so I was happy to find them. I wish they had her android form with the red hair though, that would have been cool. But I'm greatful to find them at all tbh. The owner referred to the hat as a "Lizzie McGuire Hat" which isn't too far off, lol. Also a pretty big find since I love these kind of hats.

that's basically all I have to add, if I think of anything else interesting I'll add it to my nest post :P
