Buffistas

You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am actually a Lazy!Goth.

If this is a real term I am totally co-opting it for my own purposes.

Awwww! It is a real term, and one I apply to, oh, two-thirds of the Seattle scene, actually.

Look at all you people, talking about my book! Eeeee! I'm very glad you all seem to like it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The problem with being a Lazy!Goth in NYC, unfortunately, is that everyone else is also wearing all black all the time too.

Hence, I need to redye my hair.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

We like it. We REALLY, REALLY like it. (And you, of course).

move out and draw fire

I feel like I'm in drag if I wear straight-up girly clothes.

hah! I wore a dress today and freaked the crap out of Mal. Suits with skirts are one thing, but apparently Raq Don't Dress.

I keep promising myself that when I start a job where I am the Boss, or one where I do a lot of public speaking or conferences or whatever, I'm going to be more goth. But that would involve totally different hair, and waking up more than 30 minutes before I have to be someplace.

I still want a tattoo. A GCS curlybat tat.

One of my readers got one a year ago, and sent me a picture! I was absolutely tickled.

This and the fact that my skin freaks out even at mineral makeup keep me pretty firmly in the LAZY category.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's where I've gotten to. I can't afford to have a "look".

I don't agree with this one. The most styling person in my office probably spends less than anyone else here, as she gets all of her clothes from thrift stores. She has a funky/80s/urchin thing going on which is great. So you can have a look on no money but you gotta spend a lot of time thinking about it, which I know you don't have.

I myself have a look, but sadly my look is "a shirt and jeans or cargo pants". Gone are the days of tutus and vintage beaded cardigans. I do wear funky jewelry and shoes, which is where any style I now have shows up.

you gotta spend a lot of time thinking about it, which I know you don't have.

There's also the "the look I want looks stupid on the body I have". Seems all the other Ladies of Size get to the thrift stores before I do.

But I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil, and I'm being forced to the sewing machine because no one makes an affordable (ie, Wal-Mart/Target) skirt that doesn't make my hips look like a well-stuffed sausage. Designers are buttheads.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil

I deeply resent capris, because they look so cute on other women, and look totally silly on me. There is no place on my calf that is a good spot to be visually cut in half by a hem.

I prefer palazzo pants, myself.
