Sweet zombie Jesus, Trudy! I am so excited for you! (And frothingly envious, but I figured that was taken as read.)

Gaaaah! You must post concert reports!

Not gonna lie, I'm a little hysterical atm.

AS WELL YOU SHOULD BE!

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I win a M&G for the Seattle show.

My fingers and toesies are crossed for you, Jilli!

Your killjoy gear ready? Is your name CupcakeKilla?

Heee! I have not put together a killjoy outfit, because, well, it's so far outside of my preferred aesthetic that there's no way I would feel comfortable. But I have been idly trying to figure out what a Cupcake Goth version of a killjoy outfit would be ...

(And CupcakeKilla would be a fantastic killjoy name. Thank you!)

Mine is Soul Survior.

There was an "accidental" BLI transformer explosion in Asbury Park killing thousands of punks -- crews are cataloging tattoos on severed limbs in an attempt to identify the dead. Soul was pulled from the rubble with her headphones permanantly fused to her ears...

Nothing wrong with a little self-mockery.

I think CupcakeKilla would look as much like your preferred asthetic as a post-apocalyptic desert hellscape allows, you know? Striving to carry on! (ca-a-ry oh-onnnnnn)

I don't know how sturdy you could make it, but you could assemble full jilli foo from plastic bags (which WOULD survive an apocalypse) and duct tape.

So knee-length skirt complete with ruffles made from black plastic garbage bags and duct-tape. I don't know if you have Conways out there, but their pink plastic shopping bags are ubiquitous here and squished up would make a pretty sweet crinoline...

Your super power is that somehow your makeup remains perfect.

I actually had a dream recently that featured this sort of look. Not made with plastic bags, but with sturdy fabrics, torn ruffles (from running away from Dracs), and holster pockets in the skirt for guns. And various trailing bits of interesting fabric and lace that I (in the dream) had tied or sewn on as I had found them.

Like burlap you've meticulously colored black with charcoal from desert campfires...

Hell, how do you think Party Poison sketches? WE DO WHAT WE MUST TO (ASTHETICALLY) SURVIVE!!!!

squees with joy and envy for Trudy, giggles a lot at the RPG MyChemdom has become.

I'll admit, I half-expected the Danger Days CD to come with some sort of character sheet or stats chart.
