My Aldo Melkonian Studded Ankle Boots are my favorite boots at the moment. I danced for over 4 hours and my feet didn’t hurt AT ALL but they’re only 2.5 inches high though so of course, they’d be comfy even with Aldo’s ridiculously uncomfortable arches. The studs are a plus, they’re super casual and you can pair them with an endless range of looks… and I went through so much trouble to get them when I first saw them online because I was so impatient and all the stores were out of my size! It was SO worth it.
Asian Gaga!
Unfortunately I had no time to take pictures of my Lady Gaga Halloween costume last night! I know!! 
But I took this quick shot right before my friend came to pick me up. I realized that I should NEVER cram down white bread before going out or my face gets super-bloated like Park Bom’s botched cheek implant surgery (sorry girls, she’s an awesome vocalist but I think she looked way better before). I only did it because I had to quickly eat something or I’d get sick later that night! Anyway, I experimented with a lot of different make-up techniques and products (bright silver, pigments, whites, etc) but I ended up going for a smokey and dramatic silver look and I drew the lightning bolt with NYX gold pigment powder (didn’t want something stuck on my face all night); my hair covered it anyway so I didn’t spend too much time on it. I did watch Rice Bunny’s Lady Gaga tutorial but I never follow tutorials because everyone eyes and face are different and her look definitely did not work on me. I’ll try put the look together again later on and take proper pictures.
This was our only picture of the night. We hardly take pics on Halloween ... for some reason.
P.S. 24C reader who came up to me last night: sorry if I came off as rude. I was caught off-guard and I think you knew that I wasn’t sober. BUT that was very sweet of you. 
But anyway, contact me so I know who you were!
Lool, that person was me =_=
I should have thought more about what to say rather than suddenly running up to you randomly hahhaa . No worries, I was definitely not sober either so don’t feel bad

boots are hot! 2.5 inches are too low for me though (i’m too small!) you’re so lucky you’re 5′6!!!! hahaha.
Lady Gaga – amazing costume! my friend was gaga too and you guys pull it off so well although i will admit an Asian Gaga is definitely hotness! (love the makeup)

sond like great value.

AH! LOVE the costume! i didn’t even bother to dress up this year and i was in vegas! surprisingly there wasn’t a lot of folks that were dressed up as well.
i wasn’t alone! hehe love the boots!!
REPLY
What an awesome costume. You look hotter then the real lady gaga.
REPLY
Beautiful boots!! Definitely worth something looking into!! I was wearing flats on Saturday night and even then my feet were hurting
Your costume looks soooo awesome! I forget how tall you are sometime! My girlfriend tried to get me to come down to van to party for Halloween, she says it’s pretty crazy there, I bet it was pretty crazy!
REPLY
Katy
November 5th, 2009 |
I know right… sometimes I wear flats or even boots with a lower heel and my feet may still hurt. These boots are just heaven!
REPLY
I die at those boots! The studding and harnesses are so rebellious and hardcore. And the color? Sheer heaven. Loving the fact that they’re more of a gun metal than a typical black. Amazing purchase, darling!
And Lady Gaga…ooh, what a fun costume idea. Your hair and make-up looks fabulous!
REPLY
Ya’ll look great, and dammit you’re so lucky the weather there holds for Halloween. No matter where I’ve lived it’s always too cold to dress up as anything fun unless you change at the party… which doesn’t always work out lol.

I usually wear leggings or jeans when I go clubbing, especially in the winter but Halloween is probably the only time when I’ll wear otherwise.
REPLY
I was lady gaga too for halloween!
. but i didn’t go hard on it. you look amazing 8D. I watched Michelle Phan’s lady gaga tutorial too, but then i didn’t use her tutorial for my look and another person’s instead. x) .
i loveee aldo and i use to buy a lot of flats/heels from there, but i barely go shopping anymore since i dont want to spend a lot of money on stuff i want rather than things i need. i’m going shopping tomorrow with my friends though since we haven’t shopped in awhile together.
and looks like you had funnn on halloween (: i did too.

Ooh nice do you have a picture from Halloween?
I like Aldo shoes but I don’t shop there much. All their nice stuff has super high heels and I’m already tall enough.
REPLY
Love the boots! You looked great for Halloween, I’m jealous you had the bow and I totally forgot about doing the lighting bolt under my eye! Luckily everyone knew who I was, I think it’s because I wore the glasses and the red tube scarf over my head.
REPLY
Katy
November 5th, 2009 |
Yeah the red scarf totally makes the Lady Gaga look… I wanted to do the body suit + hood thing but I wanted to wear pants!! It was sooo cold that night.
REPLY
Wow, looks like you spent a lot of time on it! We always get a lot of pictures at Halloween but that’s mainly because we start early and throw parties at my house. didn’t do it this year though unfortunately, thew newborn was just a little too young for all the excitement.
REPLY
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR BOOTS!! They look fabulous (on your gorgeous legs)! Too bad the weather here will not permit that kinda fashion. Everyone will think I’m a fruitcake for wearing that here in overly-sunny Singapore.
You look great as Lady Gaga!
REPLY

Ugh! You and your gorgeous legs!
Those boots are the ultimate accessory for fall and winter! Edgy, but not too out there. I love it.
Also, Asian Lady GaGa? Fab.
REPLY
ohhh nice boots! im the opposite of you, i look so gross straight after a night out… bloated and puffy and eurghhh!
REPLY
Katy
November 5th, 2009 |
I don’t get bloated when I drink for some reason… I get skinnier because I lose so much water weight but I guess that’s also from dancing and sweating the night away. I only drink hard alcohol though, no beer which does make you bloat.
REPLY
ASIAN GAGA! I love it like I love your boots!
And were you bitchy to one of your loyal readers of your blog? haha It’s alright, I had a loyal reader of my blog come up to me at the club one time too but I was soooooo plastered that I basically thought he was hitting on me so I snubbed him out even though he was just complementing how much he loved my blog. Fuck. I felt so terrible after especially for the fact that he was sorta cute . . .well from what I remember. hahaha!!

Oh no I don’t think I was “bitchy” … I was talking to my friend at the same time and my mind wasn’t all there so when she came up to me, I didn’t know what to say to her so I think I kinda snubbed her off? Hopefully she wasn’t that sober too. I felt so bad afterwards!
Well whatever, you HOT so even if he thinks that you snubbed him off, he’s probably still secretly reading your blog!
REPLY
i love the hair bow very much darling
and yo DO make a great asian Gaga ! actually, you’re much more fierce and stunning

None! I was actually surprised because a bunch of people didn’t recognize me! I guess I should’ve worn sunglasses and maybe had my poker stick (which got taken away because it “could’ve been used as a weapon” … oh well).

Hmmm and that’s what I thought too! Otherwise I thought the bow would’ve been enough or else I would’ve gone total Gaga with no pants and all.
