Bedazzler of Filth

I am in love with Cradle of Filth. This is not news to anyone that knows me. In fact, everyone is really fucking tired of hearing about it. They're also tired of hearing about Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir, which is too bad because guess who's coming to the Masquerade in May? That's right. I'm trying to enlighten you asshats so you can stop buying shit like KoRN and Linkin Park, so just shut up and take your medicine.

Anyway, this historic, life-altering show is going to be the perfect excuse to wear my new Cradle of Filth dress:
Kind of missing something, right? I decided I needed to Bedazzle the shit out of it. Here goes:
I used crystal rhinestones for the front and red rhinestones for the back:
Oh yeah. That's the stuff. It's way more evil this way, and I'm gonna be the belle of the ball at the show.

The rhinestones are kind of a bitch because you put the setting into the plunger and the stone underneath, instead of the other way around, so you're basically bedazzling upside-down. I wasn't happy with that arrangement because I wanted to see exactly what I was doing. So I did all this by hand. I kept the print facing me and pushed the setting through the back of the fabric, then put the rhinestone in the setting and pushed the teeth down with my thumbnail. It was indeed tedious, but not as painful for my thumb as I thought it might be, and my burning love for Cradle of Filth (or more specifically....) gave me the strength to pull it off. Afterwards I put each finished rhinestone into the base of the Bedazzler and hit it gently with a small rubber mallet to curve the points in like they would have been if I had used the Bedazzler to attach them in the first place. I ran my finger over them afterward and they feel pretty smooth, so I think I'll call this one a Mission Accomplished.

Hurry up and get your tickets for this show, dude. It's gonna be Satanlicious.
