Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Apparently not! I thought they would use it as a condiment at least.

It stains. Fashion, THEN comfort, *always*.

With *this* book, the more appropriate phrase is "Turn 2; the rest are food."

Hee! I was muttering that the other day for some reason. I wish I could remember why.

Oh, I slept in! I slept for 11 glorious hours. And today is Gothy Upkeep day, what with doing loads of black laundry, painting my nails, arcane skin care stuff, and chatting with my genius seamstress friend about a convention I've been invited to be a panelist at in August. (There's a Gothic Lolita con happening in Bellevue, and they invited me. Obviously I need new fabulous clothes for this. OBVIOUSLY.)

But I miss my peoples. I really really miss my peoples.

We all remember the "and so on" commercial--good work there, ad agency! But do we remember the brand of shampoo? Maybe not so good work there, ad agency.

Fabergé, the Pantene of its time.

Omnis is on the LIST.

Pete, the co-worker I bought one book for emailed me yesterday to tell me how much she LOVED the artwork.

Tell her "thanks". Man, I hope we can maintain the viral sales.

“Not dead yet!”

Fabergé, the Pantene of its time.

Huh. I might have thought that Breck was the Pantene of its time. But Fabergé works too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Prell, possibly? Something with a P? Jaclyn Smith was Breck. Oooh, Breck Girls: the ultimate ideal for girls and women of the 1950s, 60s and 70s to attain. You know, until it wasn't.

I don't know who the bride is on that linked page, but the middle pic is of Kim Bassinger and her mother, Ann. And the bottom pic is of Brooke Shields as a child.
