Oh my gosh, you guys! You're all so gorgeous and you look so happy. Bless. I'm so glad you had a great time and that everything went smoothly.

We danced to Justin Timberlake in your honor!

::blushes::

I couldn't help but look good, I had the advice of experts while thrifting. And a fab necklace of black cats and gold beads borrowed from Katie Bee that helped set off that neckline! Truly, it all came together with the help of many, many friends to whom I am completely grateful.

I am home. Flight was good, hour drive home was warm and relaxing, and I took a side trip to see Spider-man 3.

I've bookmarked everyone's pictures, and I'll work on getting mine up tomorrow.

I less than three the Buffistas, and I miss you all already. I agree with Laura, we should definitely do it again next weekend.

I could meara, but I think I'd hurt myself. Though...

Oh, F2F. You are so good for my self-esteem!

WORDY MCWRODPANTS.

Ailleann was slashing Paul and Barnabus.

What?!? Paul gave him The Look! Barnabus told him he loved him! What was I supposed to think?!?

I am home at last! F2F was wonderful fun! So good to finally have some faces to go with the names!

Not looking at the pictures. Nope, nope. Buffistas are fun to party with, I tell you what.

Also, Fernet is EVIL.

Speaking of Hott pictures. Zenkitty's smokin' glance at the camera here - [link]

It was most impressive that you and Sail and Theo managed to score such finds for the prom. I would possibly abandon my hate shopping stance to join you next time.

That glance wasn't so much smokin' as drinkin', I fear.

Thrift store shopping is the BEST. You must come with us on the next excursion!

I think I would use the word Magnificent to describe ZenKitty

F2F recap:

So, arrived Thursday, and after some cell phoning and wandering around, met up with Aillean, Theodosia and Tommyrot. We piled into the PT Cruiser and cruised to the hotel. The hotel was a wonderful historic building. It was filled with wonderful touches like 20s Art Deco posters and pretty mouldings. We all checked in and had a quick snack at the cafe next to the hotel. The whole neighborhood was really cool, lots of restaurants and stores to wander around. After a brief delay, wherein my uncle called and was an asshole, Aillean and I went to the whiskey tasting.

We enjoyed some lovely Woodfork Reserve, and this wacky whiskey with wheat (hey, alliteration!). There was also an asstastic whiskey, but since we were two at a table for four, there was extra Woodfork. The presenter was terrible. He had a Powerpoint presentation with a plain white slide with black letters. The first slide said "My name is Dan Brown". But, there were plenty of snacks and booze, so we were happy. It was also a chance for me to have some quality time with Aillean to oggle the cute waiter.

We went back to the hotel to freshen up. I wanted to show off the new hair at its best, so I wanted to primp. Aillean and I grabbed a cab over to Ginger's. I have a talent for finding the crazy cab driver. This one was waxing poetic about crackers and crazy rednecks.

Got to Ginger's, had fun with the crowd there. We watched Supernatural, and there was much squee and flail. I like the show, I should Netflix it. We hung out for a while, then headed back to the hotel.

Friday morning, we all got up and headed over to the hospitality suite. As usual, Friday is a day of catching up and the traditional Buffista greeting. Askye was blond! Ginger had grown her hair longer! We got our act together, and went to Atkins Park Tavern for lunch. Beverly admired the pitcher that the cream for Ginger's coffee had come in. There was some dithering about whether she could buy one, etc. There MAY have been some larceny, and someone MAY have put the creamer in her purse, but as Frank said "you can't dust for cream" and phrases such as "is that cream in your purse or are you glad to see me?" were uttered.

We went back to the hospitality suite, and were sitting around just chatting, when suddenly it occurred to us that we wanted to go thrifting. We gathered up and went to this place called psycho sisters. Several wonderful outfits and accessories were found, Zenkitty, SailAweigh, and Theodosia all found cute outfits for the F2F. I tried on this amazing vintage dress with beads and sequins. Well, I tried to try it on, but I couldn't get it over my shoulders. Stupid narrow shouldered women in the 30s.

We went out to dinner. We had a very large group and knew we weren't going to get in the same place, so we wandered down the street and peeled off as we found places to eat. Me, Brendan, Laura, Zenkitty, and Askye ended up eating Italian. It was good.

We went back to the hotel prepared for Rocky Horror. I didn't dress up, so by "prepared", I meant I had a beer. As for outfits, I say Go Big or Go Home. If I don't have a great costume, I don't dress up. Askye had a great outfit with fishnets, a hat, and spike heels. She was a Rocky virgin but would not admit to it. the virgins were asked to fake an orgasm and they were all terrible. She would have rocked, I know. Smonster, Brenda and I took a quick detour for a shot, just 'cause.

We settled into our seats, and proceeded to have lots of fun. There were two "staff members" wandering the aisles,shouting out random crap at each other and the other regulars. It diminished the movie a little bit. It was still fun, but could have been better if they had worked with the audience.

Next day, smonster and I ended up at American Roadhouse for brunch, where we had tried to go for dinner the night before, but it's only open for breakfast, lunch and brunch. So, we had brunch, and it was gooood. I was happy to discover that I did not have (continued...)
