The Domestic Gothess

With a name like Cinthia Rached's Booby Trap (www.boobytrapshop.com) I was a little reluctant to click the link at first. The Internet is often a dark and dangerous place that can lead you to such terrible places. But, being bold and perhaps a little bit reckless, I did click and breathed a sigh of relief when instead of extreme wanton nudity or a swift and violent attack of trojan horses I was greeted by blood, zombies and adorable children.

Okay, so maybe I knew what to expect from the start but a little suspense never hurts...

Ugly Shyla creates art, dolls and now she creates clothes. How is this different from the hundreds of other online sellers out there today? Well for one, Shyla's clothes are art. And not in that "fashion as its own art" sort of mentality but rather the pieces are unique, one of a kind creations that use vintage components to create a wearable statement. The pieces all seem to carry this emotion that places me in those memorable cult classic slasher films of the eighties and nineties. It's an odd place to be transported by a piece of clothing but when I take a look at the "Slasher Nurse Dress" or the "Reconstructed Stitched Up Frankenstein Formal Dress" I can't help but think back to Carrie or Prom Night...
