Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else  

[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.

Okay, time for a completely frivolous fashion question!

Say there's this handbag you've been squee-ing delightedly over for, oh, two years or so. Not only is it kinda pricy, but it's unabashedly frivolous and kinda impractacal, because it's made of cotton-candy pink faux fur. Since the hypothetical you has been looking at pictures of it for two years, should you just give in, save your pennies, and buy it no matter how impractical? Or should you try and be a practical and non-frivolous sort of person for once in your life?

(And yes, the hypothetical handbag would make Pete roll his eyes forever and ever.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Two years, you say?

Buy it.

Also? Cotton-candy pink faux fur is NEVER impractical for you, Jilliest of Jillis.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm with Teppy. If you're still wanting it after 2 years, it's something you should buy for yourself.

I've found that waiting for frivolous things tends to dimish the desire for them. Unless it doesn't--in which case, you're justified in purchasing it.

What is even happening?

Buy it, Jilli. It wasn't just a passing thing, or you'd have forgotten about it, by now.

Okay then. Time to start setting aside my spending money.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I MADE TWO SLEEVES!!!

I started the Elf dress last night and successfully made two sleeves complete with contrast lining and trim!! Pictures to be here soon.

I MADE SLEEVES!

Of course, I might end up wearing the sleeves pinned to a matching bra and panties, but what the hell? I MADE SLEEVES!

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

Our wings are not tired.

I heard a rumor Aimee was a mighty sleeve maker.

I think I keep hoping I'll find one in a resale shop, but have had no such luck.
