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!
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.
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.
A friend of mine and I used to joke about going as the Sun.
I went through a period of having these conceptual costumes. I went in consectutive years as The sky (lots of blue tie-dye and huge cotton clouds in my hair), the ocean (the same tie-dye with fish and shells), darkness (all black), autumn ( a red silk toga with real and painted leaves) .
I want to dress as a can-can girl (a la Moulin Rouge), but a) everyone's already kinda seen it so to top it (and make it more authentic) I'd b) have to spend a lot of money. Which I don't have. Grump.
Dude, juliana. I want to steal your idea.
Hmm. Maybe something with my corset, even if I don't commit theft of intellectual property...
Fairy tales or comics, that's how this will come down, I think.
Suddenly the idea of going as Snow White is cracking me up, but I'll get over that soon enough.
I want to steal your idea.
Steal away. I think you'd look awesome like that.
I may very well...
I love the idea of post-apocalypse fashion (quite like Jilli likes the steampunk, say), but it doesn't condense well. Also, well, Aunty Entity was just last year. It should maybe wait.
Oh!
If I were really dedicated, I'd go as Grace Jones or one of her characters. That'd totally freak people out if I grew out the blonde and got a box cut for the occasion...
