Will the white suit work if the purple looks too tight or I can't get the stain out?

Yes. I think the purple suit would be the best option, but the white suit sounds like it would be fine.

I keep forgetting what I was going to say. I do that in real life, but you'd think I could concentrate better while typing at blinvisible people. At least you don't get to hear me saying, "Um, um, you know, that thing we were talking about."

ChiKat, the odds are very, very high that it's something harmless. They do baseline mammograms specifically to record the various idiosyncrasies that everyone's breasts have. That being said, my breast cancer experience would suggest that if the doctor has the least doubt, get a biopsy. Biopsies are no big deal. Mine was not particularly painful, except for the hysterical giggles I kept getting over the fact that I was driving home with ice in my bra.

Lyra Jane, I'm so sorry about the car. Try not to beat yourself up about it.

Of course Kara leads an amazingly exciting life. After all, she hears hot dogs.

I know that feeling, vw. Still tripping that anyone would ask for my advice on Living With A disability based on that Mishegoss in my lj. Sweetie, I'm stuck together with fucking superglue. And not expertly applied superglue, either. But I'm just paying it forward anyway. I did what Hec did, except not calling him a punk... the man is a bit humor-impaired and wouldn't get it. (Hec, I was shocked that you thought I'd pull you off my flist for that. I'd hate being humored WAY more than that.)

If you liked prints I'd say this is a lovely top [link] . I think it's also around there somewhere in white.

Plei, do you sew?

I fake it with hand stitching, and am allowed to cut things out or fix hems, but am generally not allowed near the actual machines. I'm the only person I can think of who managed a D in Home Ec when I was staying in over my lunch period to try to actually finish my sewing projects.

It's something of a marvel, really. There's been one machine in my whole life I could actually use, but my mother gave it to my sister, a fact about which I am still bitter. (Perfect condition Singer Featherweight. Those are 'xpensive!) That 14 year age difference means that most of the things I've wanted since childhood (including the dresser I grew up using) have been promised to her since before I was born. And my mother wonders why I only want the one child...

JZ, check your work e-mail. Nevermind.

So what do I do about my hair and makeup? I have never been to a Goth club before. Actually I have very rarely been to any kind of club.

Dark eyes, dark lips. Do not attempt liquid eyeliner (or deliberate liquid eyeliner swirly designs) unless you've done such things before.

Some sort of pale shimmery eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and black mascara + dark red lipstick should work just fine.

All y'all who haven't had the distinct pleasure of hanging with sj in person -- you have NO IDEA how utterly gorgeous she'll look with the pale makeup and dark red lipstick. I still haven't seen a picture of her that comes close to doing her justice. And gothed up -- man! t swoons

Thanks for the link and the advice, Hec. I'll see what I can do.

And I know I'm being neurotic about this, for complicated and petty reasons involving some of the other wedding guests and my own personal demons.

This is completely understandable, Plei. I still think you are going to be the foamiest woman at the wedding, regardless of what you are wearing. I have seen lots of pictures of you, and you never fail to look fabulous.

I think a goth sj will be stunning.

Sadly, Heather, Japanese Weekend runs really small. They have some pretty stuff, too.

Jilli, if I can find what I'm looking for, I may take you up on the closet raid for a crinoline.

I think a goth sj will be stunning.

Yeah, me too. sj, as Ple notes you can also go for loose and romantical hair. You could braid your hair while wet and then take it out when it's dry for the wavy.
