Franny would say go with the princess! Of course she herself is going as Belle this year.
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I confess that Slutty Pumpkin isn't original.
That's the only ep of that show I think I've seen.
Our raunchy girls were thinking of slutty pumpkins, but if they did what they suggested (orange body paint, small cap for the stem, stripes for the grooves and a black string bikini for the eyes and mouth) they'd have to go naked for 2008 to top it.
To which no one would really complain. They're kinda hot.
I like dressing up. I never did it before I moved out here, because of culture or climate issues. Oh, and not having anywhere to go.
slutty something is NOT a costume. I hate that.
SUMI!!THANK YOU!!! saving for later tonight.
Sexy is forbidden here, what with the children's ward and all. A couple of years ago I stole someone's idea with a poufy-skirted cocktail dress, pearls, a tiara, and a sash that said Miss Information, and had considerable stupid fun at work.
"Is Doctor S in?"
"No, I'm sorry, he's off today for the opening of wabbit season."
"Do you have the clinic report on Bobby R?"
"No, I'm sorry, Doctor S ate it."
"Is Doctor K here?"
"Yes, but he's hiding under his desk. Students frighten him."
Profoundly unsexy, but fun.
The coolest unsexy costume I ever saw here was the department administrative head about five years ago, who came in dressed in a black suit, red tie and bowler hat with a leafy, twiggy green apple mask hanging down from the brim of the hat.
Ha! I win at life. I made raincheck plans with someone tonight who invariably cancels at the last minute, and proceeded to make backup plans with someone else. So of course my friend cancels, but I still have plans!
Not very many people dress up here at the EE, which is sad. This year, I'm either dressing up as a Victorian lady adventuress back from Mars (if Pete manages to do the re-paint job on my toy ray gun, that is), or I'm falling back on my standby and dressing up as a Victorian vampiress.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday lori!
Happy Anniversary to Plei and DH!
If I have offended anyone here by my words or actions,accidentally or deliberately, I ask your forgiveness.
(I'm sorry that my words are but a poor echo of Nilly's, but I hope the sentiment came across ok.)
Hey, what do you call the part of a combination lock or padlock that is the U-shaped bar?
Nebbermind, Wikipedia solved it: it's the shackle. Duh.
