[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Does anybody know where to get a charming small tricorn? I don't want the Colonial Williamsburg kind; I want the kind scaled to a lady so that you can tip it forward on your hair.
The only thing I can think of is to look at some of the pirate hats that costume stores sell. I know I've seen smaller-scaled tricorns among those.
Note to self: call Vortex when others need a good smackdown.
And, speaking of forgetting birthdays, I thought my BF had forgotten my birthday. He hadn't said a word about it all weekend, he didn't mention it in emails this morning, nada. Then, this afternoon, he sent an email with the subject line "You lug 5,840 tons and whadaya get?"
I love my geeky BF.
Betsy, there are some folks at Dickens Fair who sell tricorn hat forms (workshops are going on now and I could easily track down a good number of people who are workshopping and ask one of 'em to find out the cost). How small do you want? These aren't tiny like the tiny top hat, but they're at least smaller than full military tricorns.
Also, ((((())))) on the meds. Been there, done that, couldn't bear to take the t-shirt because it made me cry too hard.
Actually, I'm planning on going to Dickens Fair this year (yea!) so I can find one that fits there. Whee! (but tricornes were grossly out of fashion by Dickens' time.)
Jilli, that hat, the whole ensemble actually, is a thing of beauty.
JZ, love, would you mind popping me an email at my profile addy? I"m getting ready to start sending out theatrical resumes, and I need a bit of lowdown on who and where. If you don't mind, of course.
Put the islets of Langerhans on alert: I'm sending down some pink iced animal crackers. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
On a lighter note:

From the article:
Colin was Action Figure Darcy. He fences! He swims! He bathes! Naked! He gives and fixes and scowls and rides his horse and just in general Firths all over the place, and we are much the better for it.
BWAHAHAH! Beautiful. I loves me some Firth.
Jessica, that is quite possibly the shittiest office faux pas I've ever seen. Your co-workers suck.
So how do I tell him no? I tried the cost thing, and he's countering that it's about the same price as train+taxi, which is true.
Raq, I'd definitely pull the "travelling with an infant is a LOT more difficult. I'd hate to inconvenience you and your girlfriend. Let's each rent a car and we can schedule when to meet up and where." You get lots of leeway with a baby. Your friend will thank you in the end.
I hate being this dependent on drugs, but I am. No more futzing around. Take the prescription and be glad it works.
{{{Betsy}}} gah. Sometimes, you just got to stick with the drugs, which can suck.
Jilli, that hat & dress ensemble is fucking gorgeous.
