So when I do my 50s day dresses with lace panels I'm still the kinda tall black chick with no hair dressed like Doris Day.

Which is, if I may say, an awesome thing to be.

YES. I love the way you look, especially in the 50s day dresses. It makes me grin.

Pillbox hat? Or maybe I just like a woman who can kill with a pinky finger and wears a veil made of netting.

OMG.

You realize I now must make ita a hat.

to throw my face into slightly softer focus.

Ayup. Me with powder (and foundation on the red shit) is pretty much still me, with 50% less blotchy. Even if it doesn't quite last all day (my face is oily.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh, good lord. Seriously!?!

Now a fixture at Department of Homeland Security science and technology conferences, SIGMA is a loosely affiliated group of science fiction writers who are offering pro bono advice to anyone in government who want their thoughts on how to protect the nation.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

You know, I've often thought it's a good thing for the country that apparently Al-Qaeda isn't as creative as your average table of 12 people at a writers conference--or, alternatively, that most of us writers only use our powers for bad in imaginary realms (see current tag!). Because I spent much of the year after 9/11 noticing thinking of all the ways the terrorists COULD attack and wanting to tell someone who could do something about them. But, that's just made of UGH, Daisy Jane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of hair (kind of), I decided I wanted to grow my hair out some, and I now I remember why it got so short and layery. Too much hair! Ugh. Are there hair picture sites for thick hair? Because I always feel like my hair could never look like the pictures.

Pete says he doesn't think I look that different, but I disagree.

I think that's generally true of people who wear makeup every day -- they think they look a mess without it, but not so much.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got my ears pierced the first time when I was 8. Don't know when I started wearing makeup, though I remember black eyeliner and cheap lipstick in high school. (Bad color choices. When the girl in the jet black mohawk asks you why your lips are orange, it's time to rethink the lipstick)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe you need a few good wigs, ita. Just to play dress up.

Ha! That just reminded me of this, to which I went and uploaded a pic, and am amusing the fuck out of myself.

Huh. I think I rock Elisha Cuthbert's short do, for sure.
