The Elizabeth Collection

The Elizabeth Collection consists of cloths that Elizabeth made for me and one item that she bought for me. Elizabeth was my first girlfriend and my current lifelong friend, and you can learn more about our journey in the Romance section.

Magical Outfit of the Universes

This breathtaking and gorgeous outfit was made my Elizabeth (both the top and bottom). She even made a matching skirt for herself from the same fabric. We wore our matching outfits to two different weddings!

Scarf of Sunshine

This delightful and amazing scarf was knit by Elizabeth and is nearly 10 feet long! It is a sunshine yellow color which is Elizabeth's favorite color

Shamanistic Garb of Rituals and Ceremonies

The first step of my journey into raking is putting on an outfit. I believe that outfits can have the power to change a person's state of mind especially if the clothing has meaning and if done with deliberation. To channel deep shamanistic type vibes, I wear a gorgeous hooded piece made by my former girlfriend, Elizabeth. I am also wearing a loin cloth made in collaboration with Elizabeth. Both of these clothing items have ritualistic meaning because they were first worn during my Cock-Revealing Ceremony which I will describe more in a future post. I am also wearing shorts that I designed and my mother knitted. It is hard to see in this picture but it has a tail which represents the animalistic feelings of being one with the Earth. I am holding a rake with 2 ankle weights to give me a good pump while raking. These cloths help me get into the zone and remind me that the process of raking is about connecting with Nature.

Loin Cloth of Ceremony and Ritual

For my cock revealing ceremony (more of which I will describe in the Romance section), I wanted to collaboratively make a piece of clothing and so we decied to make a loin cloth. Elizabeth provided the cloth and embroidered r a cat and two frogs. I embroidered a rooster. The cat (a pussy) and rooster (a cock) refer to the dance of romance and reproduction and this symbolism comes from my Cock and Pussy pants (see my main clothing page). The cat has more meaning because Elizabeth gave me cat pants and owns 2 cats. The frogs represent transformation and metamorphosis which I was experiencing during the Cock revealing ceremony. They also refer to two frogs that sit in Elizabeth's home that she was gifted from her grandmother. Coincidentally, frogs were also a theme of my First Date Ceremony with another person (check the Romance page). The pussy-cat and cock are inside semicircles which represent my creatures of destiny and you can see that they are connected to the frogs. This symbolism also occurs in my other clothing art (check the main clothing page).

Shirt of Clouds

Elizabeth made this gorgeous tiedye shirt that reminds me of a bright overcast sky with dapples of thick clouds where little sunshine can penetrate. She also made one for my mother.

Cat Pants

While my spirit animals are the Mouse, Squirrel and Rat, my journey brings me close to cats as well. Elizabeth bought me the cat pants and, here, I am wearing a cat shirt too! The shirt I had bought from Walmart many years ago when I was twinning with a fellow grad students, where we both wore the same shirt and took pictures. He was really into cats. On the day that Elizabeth gifted me the pants, I just happened to be wearing the cat shirt! Sometimes I wear this outfit when travelling on the plane and I do receive compliments on it.
