This Christmas Season ::

I have had many people ask me what to get either Justin or myself for Christmas. Rather than spending your money on me... I have a HUGE favor to ask. Can you instead do something that is an even bigger gift to me? Can you turn around and use that money on a complete stranger? Yep you heard me right... a complete stranger.

The Christmas season is very very hard on some. For one reason or another it can be a period of time where people suffer in silence. They usually don't feel okay talking about their reasons as to why it makes them either lonely, sad or depressed. So rather than spending your money on us... both Justin and I would rather you spend it on them.

Buy someone a coffee. Pay for their parking or toll fee. Bring someone a meal or a pastry. Get them a balloon, flowers or a card. Do something you would not normally do for someone you don't know. I know for some this is an odd question or something that is normally out of their comfort zone... but please realize that the amount of joy you will be giving that person is WAY MORE than any uncomfort you may feel.

If you don't have money to use on someone... there are still ways you can give us this Christmas gift. Go out of your way to give someone a compliment out of the blue. Walk up to someone that clearly needs it and give them a hug. Make someone laugh when it's obvious they want to cry.

My point is this... Christmas is about love not about what new trinket you got or gave. It's about taking a moment out of our own world and worrying about someone else's world. Too many of us have to walk our path in life surrounded by shadows. Love shines a light on that path that nothing else can. What I'm asking you to do is to be that light for someone. That's the best Christmas gift you could EVER give me. You never know... you may even like it. *wink*

New Phone Number ::

So my cellphone died pretty much. Virgin knew they were defective and sold them anyway. Since they were unwilling to even give me a partial credit towards another phone, since I only got in in March of this year... I decided to go with Sprint. We got a second line put on Justin's sprint account. So I chucked the Motorola Triumph and now have a Steel blue Samsung Galaxy S3. My cell number has changed!! THIS IS THE NEW CELL NUMBER:

214-995-5529

Please make sure you change the number in your addy books. Thanks!!

Not Vending Live Events In October ::

Just as a reminder ::

One Star Designs will NOT be vending at Viva Dallas Burlesque tonight.  I am taking this month off from vending live events.  I will be vending BOTH Viva's in the month of November.  If you wish to shop between now and November's Viva, please shoot me an email or a text.  We'll schedule a time that is convenient for you.

Text:  214-418-1163
Email:  onestardesigns@gmail.com

Taking October Off ::

I will not be vending the Cirque Du Burlesque Viva this friday.  I am also taking the entire month of October off from vending live shows.  I need a break.  I've been going at break neck speed for so long that I've forgotten how to relax.

Well now I'm doing that.  I will still be doing custom orders and client meetings but that's about it.  I will be back to vending in November.  So if you go to Viva Dallas Burlesque you will get to peruse and purchase sparklies again in November.  I believe that there may be a Cirque Du Burlesque show that month as well.  If so then I'll be there vending as well.

Art Love Latex Fundraiser :: Thank You!

Now that things have calmed down for more than a minute... Thank you to everyone who came out to the Art Love Latex show at The Church last sunday.  The entire thing went of perfect thanks to it's organizers.  Much money was raised for Art For Latex which was the entire purpose.  So I would say that it was a bonafide success.  In the end it was a much needed rounding up of the community to help support and show needed love to one of it's members.  Thank you again.

Art Love Latex Fundraiser ::

Don't forget One Star Designs will be here on sunday.  It's to help Artwith Latex (Kurt Molhusen and his family) with their terrible personal loss.  Come out and help support an amazing man who's always been there for us all.  This is a chance to not only support a part of your local scene but a family that has a desperate need.  Help us show him just how much we deeply love him.

More Coming To The "Sweet Tooth" Series ::

People have been asking me what new lines will be coming to the "Sweet Tooth Creations". Well one of the new things coming are .... MACAROONS! Yeppers in a short amount of time you will be able to purchase these lovelies from One Star Designs.

If You Don't Sparkle Then How Will You Stand Out?

Now I know a lot of this is because I'm a jeweler... but why do so many models do shoots without sparklies? I understand why you may be naked but why are your ears? I say the same thing to burlesque performers... Putting on something that is gorgeously sparklie doesn't detract from your overall look ladies... it adds to it. It's the period on your sentence. That final sparkle that says "remember me because you'll never find another like me".

One Star Designs Join TnT Burlesque ::

So you say you're military and looking for something to do this weekend in OKC? How about this glorious show? One Star Designs has sent an amazing amount of sparklies for this awesome show. If you are military make sure to talk to the ticket people. You will get a raffle ticket and a chance to win some of these sparklie goodies! :) Who doesn't want free sparklies.

You can get tickets for the show here:

Temporary Issues :: Finishing The Rewards

Due to my multitude of auto-immune diseases and then my trusty jeweler pliers breaking, I am a wee bit behind on finishing the rewards.  I have officially gotten past the halfway point on mailing out rewards to you lovely donors.


I am still attempting to find a good pair of pliers.  So many to choose from and yet so many of them are sub-par.  I refuse to use a tool that will not allow me to get a tight loop next to the bead.  That is the only way you can guarantee a good close fit.  Without that you risk easily breaking your sparklies and that is a no-no in my book.

So in closing, I have not forgotten about the rest of you.  Truly I will not!  I have a list of people that need their reward sparklies sitting at my desk to constantly remind me.  I am just in a pause mode until I can locate a decent pair of jeweler pliers.  (read:  not cheap and crappy pliers but cheap and good is always helpful.)

OSD's Burlesque Line Continues To Shine ::

Miss Vivienne Vermuth (@vforvermuth) wearing a gorgeous One Star Designs swarovsky sparkly necklace creation during her performance last week at Open Stage on Monday.  The necklace is made up of large faceted and smaller rounded swarovsky beads.  The beads are a gorgeous pale blue shade with a unique peacock ab glaze.   So depending on what colors she chooses to wear or how the light reflects off the beads, you can see a myriad of colors ranging from blues, violets and greens. 

What Length Do You Prefer ::

Now please keep in mind this is a general diagram.  If you are taller, shorter .... etc... this may not apply.  But this can give you a general idea about necklace lengths.  As always, I always properly measure you to see what fit works best for you.

Possible Addition To Our Inventory ::

I may have found a supplier that I like.  If so then I may be adding Hypoallergenic stainless steel adjustable rings to my inventory.  I didn't want to use base metals because they are not the best quality, in my opinion.  I wanted to only put something out there that ANYONE can use.  I don't want some of my clients limited in what they can purchase.  Just doesn't seem fair to me.  So if the quality is up to my standards ... then you may be seeing rings as an addition to my inventory.  I'll let you know once I've made a decision.  I have to order a sample order and test them out first.  Only then can I decide if it's an option at this time.

One Star Designs Kickstarter

Vending At The Shadow Society:

One Star Designs is vending tonight at the Shadow Society's monthly get together.  Stop on by and say "hi".

The event is at The Crown & Harp from 10pm till 2am.

Help Us If You Can ::

We've added a BUNCH of new rewards and some new reward levels, including some special high-level packages for major investors and some new low-end rewards for those wanting to jump on without breaking the bank!  If you can also share this with others, it'd be greatly appreciated. 

As with all the previous rewards, these are CUSTOM designs, so you can choose colors and some other design elements when you collect your rewards. 

One Star Designs' Kickstarter Project

Our Kickstarter Program ::

I've had a lot of people, in both the burlesque and pinup communities, ask me to make more retro lines available.  I'm trying to... honest.  Unfortunately, finding supplies that are either actually from that era or that are reproduced to look that way are fairly pricey sometimes. 

I've also been asked to make more of my subculture lines available for immediate purchase.  As it is right now... most of those lines are available by custom order only. 

These are two of the fifteen reasons I started a kickstarter program.  If it reaches funding in time ... these things and more will happen.  It will also allow me to make sure that One Star Designs is at more events, even possibly outside the Dfw area.

I'll be adding more rewards to the kickstarter.  Please help if you can.  Any donation you can give helps!  Also you won't have to pay the donation until may 5th.  If you could also share the link for it... I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks! 

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/296149518/help-fund-one-star-designs-new-jewelry-collection

Kickstarter Project ::

In order to keep One Star Designs going while we go through this extreme financial hardship, I've created a Kickstarter campaign.  This will allow the business to continue at the very least, and allow for the creation of a couple of new collections.  I hope it will also allow me to have a website made with my own shopping cart for online shopping. 

Check out the campaign, the rewards, and consider investing at:

Future "Affordable" Spooky Line :: A Possible Necklace

I have these delightfully goofy glow in the dark bats.  I'm thinking of punching holes in them and making some super goofy, cheap spooky bat necklaces.  They are flexible silicon bats.  Some are black and some glow in the dark.  Figured some of my clients would appreciate cheap goofy spooky stuff.

Kickstarter ::

A good friend helped me set up the kickstarter for @One Star Designs.  I'm hoping it'll be up and running fairly soon.  I'll post the link when I have it.  Promise!

Pocket Watches Oh My! ::

One of the many sparkly creations we offer here at One Star Designs are pocket watches.  We offer a vast array of designs, choices and colors.  For men we offer the following ... you can custom order a specific pocket watch (style/design/color) and have it made into our "Fancy Multi-chain Victorian Watch Design".  There is a multitude of options available with this design.  Or you can just chose to purchase the watch as is and wear it that way.

We have just as many choices for our female clients as well.  You can chose from:  "Mechanical Trappings In Time" Series, beaded victorian pocketwatch necklace, Fancy Multi-chain Victorian Watch Design or even just wear it on a simple chain.  Each and every creation is unique and tailored to fit our clients perfectly. 

We have a wide variety of pocket watches to chose from... both large and small sizes.  For your convienience, a photo album of available designs has been put up on our facebook page.  Please feel free to peruse it.

One Star Designs :: Vending Two Events On One Night

 One Star Designs will be vending two events tonight. A friend of mine will be vending my sparklies at The Shadow Society Presents: Spring Fever Pin-up Party for the first few hours. I'll be vending at OSD Vending :: Broads & Panties Presents Showgirl Follies and then we'll be at the Shadow Society event afterwards. All purchases at the Shadow Society event will be CASH ONLY until I arrive at th...e event. Unfortunately I only have one credit card reader so it'll be with me at the first event. If you're at the Shadow Society event and wish to make a credit card purchase... no worries... I'll be there sometime around 11pm (possibly a bit later). I'm coming straight over from the other event. :)

 https://www.facebook.com/events/224780007601104/

https://www.facebook.com/events/116813221780512/

I will be holding a raffle at the February Viva Dallas Burlesque.  Since the event is Steampunk themed ... I will be raffling off a one of a kind, custom made steampunk pocketwatch.  This will be one from my higher end pocket watch lines.  THese normally sell fro $90.00 to $160.00.  I will also have a "Mechanical Trappings In Time" Necklace as well.  Regardless of who wins ... you will definately get something you like.  You get to choose between the two items. :) This is to help celebrate my one year anniversary with Viva Dallas Burlesque.  Come one ... come all ...

Tickets will be $1.00 each.  Since I very rarely do raffles ... this is a great opportunity for anyone who loves my sparkly creations to have a chance to win something from one of my higher priced lines.

Online Store Is Returning Soon:

The online store (etsy) will be opening back up. However, since I have a LOT of work to do to it before it can open... it'll be probably February when it opens back up. I need to make new stock, photograph it, write descriptions, list it.... you get the idea. The upside is January is a fairly slow month for me so it is the perfect time to do this. Yay! Until then... all my clients OUTSIDE of the surrounding areas will have to just contact me via facebook, email, or text if you wish to purchase something.

One Of The New Lines For February: "Technicolor Hearts"

One of my new lines.. coming for February.  This line is called "Technicolor Hearts".  This line will have several different styles of hearts in a plethora of colors.  Each necklace will be placed on a gorgeously beaded chain.  The bead colors can be changed upon request free of charge.  Some are gloriously sparkly with a multitude of small crystal accents and some are larger in nature with one solid color.  

This line will become available for purchase later on this week.   It'll be available for sale either at our retail location, Dallas Pinup, or online.  If you wish to purchase one of these glorious creations online... please contact us through either our facebook fan page or by email.

Dallas Pinup can be located at:

Sparkly Cosmic Beads Coming Soon:

I love and adore these beads! I have these gloriously sparkly beads in multiple colors. These are part of a retro line. If you want a matching set... earrings (peirced or clip) and single line bracelets will be available as well. These will be available online, at vending events and also in Dallas PinUp. The line is not yet finished but I will sell what is currently made if someone wants one. Custom colors can also be requested for no extra charge.

Due to a large amount of client requests, One Star Designs will be including some of our pocket watch designs to our current inventory at Dallas Pinup.  The photo above is a previous design from the "Mechanical Trappings In Time" series.  We will, of course, also be including some of our Men's line of pocket watches as well.  If you do not find one to fit your personal style, please by all means contact us.  Custom orders can be placed with me (email, facebook, phone, text) or even at the store.

More Sparklies Coming Right Up!

The other day, when I was up for 23 hours straight, I managed to make 158 pairs of earrings and 14 necklaces. Yep I am a beading fool. Lol! Needless to say I'll have a lot of new sparklies for Viva Dallas Burlesque on friday!
