Let's test your threshold of pain, Let's see how long you last...

About Me

Hello! To those of you don't know me already my name is Laura and I love punk, ska & psychobilly. Currently I'm a bit of a work-a-holic cuz I run my own clothing label Miss Fortune , I also run a shop website called Whiplash Workshop . When I'm not working 70 hours a week ("in soviet Russia clothing company runs me!") i do try to have some fun, which mostly takes the form of going to gigs, punk/psychobilly nights or just meeting with freinds. You can find pics of me & my clothing in my pics.

Here's a selection of my latest designs for Miss Fortune, you can find more in my pics or on the Miss Fortune myspace page or in my pics section.

Here's a picture of an old made to measure collection I did in 2006 called "The Skeleton at the Ball", which was inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. The Video is also at the end of this section.

Punk, ska, rockabilly and psychobilly. Cool buildings and big cities. Obviously I have more than a passing interest in clothes/fashion. Going to gigs. I have a passion of the Day of the Dead and Halloween! :)

I'd like to meet:

I'm not bothered about having a huge friends list, just one with people i'm gonna talk to on so... I only add bands i actually like, I'll add anyone i know personally and I'll add people i don't know if you look like someone i might actually talk to :)
Please don't add me if your an emo or indie band, i'm not interested! Also, if your gonna add me actually send me an email or comment or something or i'm just gonna delete you in a few weeks time lol
If your more interested in my shop or my clothing label you might wanna check out my Whiplash Workshop page and my Miss Fortune Clothing page and add me there instead :)
