DIY FTW: Death Star Dress

As awesome as this dress is, it’s the hair clip really ties it all together. Read how she did it on MAKE. (Thanks, Mel!)

Wear: Brew Holster Cult

brewholstercult

No self-respecting hipster would wear their Pabst in a beer helmet. Partly ‘cuz they’d have to fork over cash for two cans at once. Mostly ‘cuz it would screw up their hair.

Thankfully Brew Holster Cult understands the value of hands-free posturing with a single beer. They’ll customize a leather holster for you in three different styles: Ale Swearengen, Optical Brew-Lusion, and Bock Star. They say they’ll hold both cans and bottles.

I wonder if they hold 40 oz’s? Check them out. (Thanks Brian)
