In my dreamworld, I'm able to teleport around, visit my friends, and go through all their wardrobes with them to come up with new outfits. It would be so much fun!

Of course, I'm suffering from a bout of "Want new clothes!" at the moment, but I'm going thrifting with Dad tomorrow, so that may fix it. I hope.

I don't think I've seen her in anything else.

She was Alice in that horrible horrible Alice in Wonderland movie that I'm still mad at Tim Burton for. She had pretty dresses.

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

From checking IMDB, all I've seen her in is The Kids Are Alright, and that's one of those movies I saw in fragments, so I'm not really placing anyone other than Moore and Bening--even Ruffalo sort of glided past me in that one.

just straight leg jeans then

Too much strain! Boot cut it will have to be. Which does lead you to believe I have boots to wear with it, and you'd be right. And I do not give a fig whether my boots ever match the rest of my outfit, so that at least is an easy thing to do.

In fact, I think I like it when the boots don't match. However, the cowboy boots win everything, because they're the easiest to put on, and I'm lazy.

I'm having Toblerone for dinner, and you can't stop me. Please don't tell my mother.

Because books.

She was also in Albert Nobbs, which I want to see.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That bustled top would look great with cowboy boots.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I wish there were some Opera functionality that could tell me which page was generating audio--I know there's a Firefox plugin that does that, but I haven't been able to find the same for Opera.

I would name that the Kill It With Fire option were I to develop it. I loathe autoplaying audio and video. Especially on news sites. If I did not ask for you to speak, shut the hell up. Um, I have feelings on this.

and go through all their wardrobes with them to come up with new outfits. It would be so much fun!

I'm going to make chili. Please bring needles and black thread. Unless I have that here already. Which is entirely possible. One of my sweaters lost a seam in the endless rewashing that is making four outfits last for nearly a month. Even I know it's a simple fix if one can sew.

She was Alice in that horrible horrible Alice in Wonderland movie that I'm still mad at Tim Burton for. She had pretty dresses.

She did have pretty dresses. That is about the best I can say for it. But they dresses were pretty.

Thunderstorms for the second day in a row. Not shy or off in the distance either. Huh.

You do, but I'll bring extra thread. The sewing kit is already in the travel bag.

I have no ability to focus on anything tonight. Which is a shame, because I'd been planning on writing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That bustled top would look great with cowboy boots.

Which I have. Sigh.

How hard is it to add sleeves to an already-finished garment, on a scale from shockingly easier than you'd expect to tears and recriminations?

It's the sparkly arcane box with a pink skull and bones in rhinestones, yes? I have that. It's very pretty. I don't know how to use it. Except to trade it for food.

I'm sorry you don't have focus tonight. I am prepping for a big day of racing tomorrow. And I can't seem to multitask. Which is sad, because everything I want to do should be deemed "relaxing" apart from laundry.

It's pouring down. This would be a flash flood when I was growing up. Still might be here. That much rain.

Here's what you do, Jilli, You set up a framework, where everyones has a pinterest board or one those web 2.714 solutions. You have a basic picture of your flient (that's like a friend and a client, but mostly client right now) and they take pictures of their WHOLE wardrobe. If there are pieces of clothing for which they have feels--let them note said feels. But only 5% have feels. And all feels means is that you'll consider that more closely for ditching or keeping. SO make those words count.

And then they present you their digital closet, a magic wand, absinthe for afters, and executive fiat. You flip through them--toss what needs to be tossed, give them tips on else to wear what they're keeping, and then see what pieces (from your ever-expanding Mary Poppins bag of everyone else's "nos: you can help them with, otherwise, guide them to the right store.
