Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Maybe Holy Clothing?

I _love_ Holy Clothing's stuff, but I need something a little thicker, and more geometric, if that makes any sense.

If I weighed 40lbs less, I'd be this chick.

It does make sense -- their stuff does have a lot of sort of scrolly detail.

I love their scrolly detail (looking at the three skirts and one dress I've bought from them).

I do too! I have a beautiful, bottle green, velvet jackety thing with that scroll work, and a long, purple summer dress that I cherish.

Won't work on the big stage though.

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

Damn. I just scanned zulily's ready to ship page and couldn't find anything (pretty sure they have some near matches in the regular section, but nothing you can get on short notice). I did find this dress, which does not at all fit the bill but is still awesome and *someone* should get it for sure: [link]

Ohmagod, that is awesome. For something.

I am so frustrated.

Somehow, in my wanderings, I got on a euro-pinterest board that had exactly what I want...in Denmark, RU and various other countries, to which, I have no access.

Blergh.

This kind of thing is so hard for me and once I get an idea in my head, it is hard to shake. Plus. I made a choice, dammit! That's huge for me, where clothes are concerned...and then to not have it work out.

I am cross. Extremely cross.

And, of course, it turns out that there are really close matches right there, just none for shipping anytime sooner than "Maybe in the next couple of weeks? Or next month. But totally this year, we pinky-swear."

Which is the downside of zulily; it's just not the place to go when you urgently need something right away or else. If that's a style you like in general, it may be worthwhile to sign up so you can stock up in a leisurely and dawdling fashion, but of course that does you no good right now.

That is actually really pretty, and I could borrow a cool pendant.

Sadly, I need long sleeves.

I will try the zulily sign up for future stuff.

Now I'm looking at steampunk jackets and such.

I really don't know what I am going to do. This is a big deal opportunity and I need to be comfortable and to stand out against the sea of office wear.

Thanks for the support JZ. I'll try again tomorrow.
