Lestat is ahead of his time, on Trend: Mixing Prints
Not at all! Pattern mixing was fairly common around the end of the 18th century.

@vinceaddams replied to your photo “Found this on pinterest (actual source is Bloody Vampire Fangs…”
It always annoys me when I see fang marks placed like that instead of vertically. Just picture how awkward the position of vampire’s head would be!
S A M E.
In the movie when fledgling!Louis is really trying to vampire properly and he’s looking for a good spot to bite, you can almost seem him go, “Yeah no, this angle? Bad spot, no, um maybe this angle? Nope…” It’s like someone learning how to kiss, poor Louis ;A; and it’s even funnier bc it’s Brad frickin’ Pitt who you would assume would be a professional at Making Out and hickey delivery, but the character is hella uncomfortable having to do this at all so none of that applies!
I’m very glad to have finally finished my waistcoat! Will write a blog post on it soon.
Update: Here’s the blog post!
(it’s all hand embroidered and hand sewn.)
Check out their blog post on it bc this is where the inspiration for the design came from:
Illustration for “the rape of the lock”, Aubrey Beardsley, 1897.

#Lestats closet
The suit I made for iasg to wear in the fashion show fits my little sister!
Earlier this week she asked me what she should be for Halloween and I said “Lestat!” She hasn’t even seen Interview With The Vampire, but she likes the suit and has wavy blonde hair, so she’s going as Lestat.
(I know it doesn’t look exactly like what he wore in the movies, but it’s the right era and quite close to his colour scheme. Pretty darn good for something I already had in my closet!)
I had forgotten about this but she didn’t end up wearing it on Halloween. Said it wasn’t comfortable enough to wear for that many hours.
She may not know him but she’s got the posing right *u*
^it doesn’t even matter what Lestat’s thinking about this cosplayer, he should be shot down regardless.
