Those are so good. I do need to know for sure if Miss USA is supposed to be a Transformer, though.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.
Maybe she was supposed to be a car Transformer?
I'm on a slow connection today so I'll have to defer marvelling at the costumes. (Note to self: be grateful for ANY connection at all, given the remoteness of the house I'm catsitting in.)
I got sucked into this Tumblr rabbit hole yesterday and I still can't get out - Recycled Costumes.
It's not really surprising when you think about it (of COURSE studios have costume collections and of COURSE not every period TV show or movie makes everything new) but it's amazing to see how often some dresses are reused for multiple Queen Elizabeths or Jane Austen characters. And apparently nobody on the Tudors ever had a new outfit.
Yeah, that's fascinating, right?
oh you all got cute with me after I left. I loves y'all.
WE ARE UP TO 15 people!!
Elfster has taken down historical data, so I cannot see how many we had last year. hhrrmmpph.
Rat bastards!
Just some promotion for the lasting goodness of the exchanges.
This morning getting ready I smiled at the Joy wooden ornament, the "The Nicest" embroidery, and the colored glass bottles on my dresser - then I put on stripy socks and had some hot choc. All items from past exchanges. There are a gagillion more examples in my home - treasured ornaments for my Christmas tree and special items on shelves and in drawers. Many many items have long since been devoured.
We are a special community and I think this exchange is a joy to participate in.
Up for discussion: Amy just submitted a story for Good Stuff, but it's a (very worthy) fundraising pitch, and I generally don't post those. I'm not 100% sure why I don't, but it's partly because I don't want to pick and choose which causes are good enough and partly because I feel like they are not Good Stuff yet.
Anyone want to sway me either direction?
