Pictures from my birthday party celebrating May 6, the day of material fantasy. The party was inspired by the idea of materializing fantasy and dreams associated with those born on May 6. Visually the party was inspired by my love for red anthurium flowers. They are sculptural, elegant, sensual and combine both the feminine and masculine. Outfit made by me. A forever thank you to my mom, Miss. Sandy, who helped me prepare a Mediterranean table tasting for the party. She is the ultimate cook and party host, and I am so grateful to be her child and to take on her love of cooking. I want to thank my sis @chanteachantea for doing the beautiful flower arrangements, some of which I didn’t get pictures of. Thank you to my girl @ms.jpv for shooting the video footage of me for the installation. You made my vision a reality. Thank you to my sweet @iamonicaguerra for custom painting anthurium flowers for the table. Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend who helped me set up and all my friends and family for being a part of this special evening.

These photos are a tribute to the film Showgirls and to Nomi Malone—Goddess of ambition, lip liner, and unapologetic survival. 🐅💄💅 @elizberkley Nomi is more than camp and chaos (though the film is gloriously, outrageously both). She’s raw hunger. She’s a girl with nothing but a dream and the audacity to believe she deserves more. She’s young, fierce, talented, unafraid, and endlessly fighting for her place—even when the world tells her no. For the ones who’ve been underestimated, rejected, but keep showing up—harder, sharper, louder. There’s a Nomi in so many of us. 30 years later and Showgirls continues to inspire me with its visual ecstasy: neon lights, rhinestones, sweat, glitter, and that perfect blend of glamour and grit. Camp at its finest. Drama in every frame. Iconic forever. Nomi forever ❤️ Photos by my girl @chanteachantea Tiger print shirt made by me 🐅 Original costume design by @byellenm #showgirls #showgirlsmovie #nomi #nomimalone #elizabethberkley #vegas #90s #lasvegas #camp #paulveerhoven

Friday night was a dream. I showed the @numbersdoc at @theriveroakstheatre - a place I fell in love with when I was 17 performing in midnight screenings of Rocky Horror. It was a dream come true and a full circle moment to show the film in the beautiful River Oaks theatre, a place so many of us Houstonians love so much. Thank you to my friends, family and extended Numbers family for being there to experience this wonderful night with me. (Thank you to @missmuerte , @poorlilgreenie and @suitsyoutricky for the fabulous roses!) Photos by @chanteachantea Dress made by me Hair by @kissntease_wigs @robbie_kisss

Since childhood, it was a dream for me to visit the country that half of my ancestral background originated from - a part of my identity that I’ve always been very proud of. I thought a lot about my Grandmother and how much I miss her and how excited she would be that I visited Italy. Though I didn’t visit the specific areas of southern Italy that a large part of my family came from, I still got to indulge in the beauty and culture associated with this incredible place in the world - and naturally I had to live out my dolce vita fantasy by making some custom outfits for the occasion. 😜 Leopard dress and bathing suit made by me 🐆🇮🇹❤️

Earlier this year my dear friends Matt and Nick got married and had an after party at Numbers, the theme being Palace of Versailles meets Studio 54 - inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic party in 1979. 🍾🎂🪩 I wanted to do something special, but the fabric I ordered was a bit of a disaster. I only had about 2 weeks before the wedding and my bestie Chantelle had about 5 yards of blue moire fabric she got from a thrift store. I absolutely love moire fabric, but blue isn’t necessarily my color (lol) and I can’t remember the last time I even wore it - but she let me have it and I fell in love with it. So in less than two weeks I made a fully boned corset, a cartridge pleated skirt and a studded choker with a Vivienne Westwood pendant I had purchased months prior. To give it that fetish edge that I love so much, I paired it with some latex thigh highs from @anoeses.brand . Some of my favorite looks come together last minute with unexpected materials. Thanks to my girl Chantelle for giving me the fabric and saving my ass. Thanks to my sisters Robbie and Danny for getting me dressed and doing my hair. The wedding was fabulous and I’m so happy for Matt and Nick, they are an amazing couple. 💙 Hair updo by my sister @robbie_kisss @kissntease_wigs #fashion #costume #fashiondesigner #fabric #corset #fetish #couture #couturefashion
