return of fun with corsets
June 5, 2009
I saw this fun quiz referenced in a google search an age ago and then had to hunt like a ninja to find the actual quiz :
I posted it then but also I really like it plus really love the photo so I am bringing it back again. Yay!
“You are a vinyl/fetish corset. Grrrrowl.”
[Ooh la la, I used to be an Elizabethan corset, I am moving up.]

garbo manga!
January 24, 2009
This is —
Pretty cool. Worth 1000 held a comp where artists took vintage movie star prints and turned them into manga images. My fave is Garbo. [Garbo is often my fave so this is not surprising but I really like how she turned out so it is not just Garbo bias talking there --- says the woman with the Garbo bias.]

Oh you’re a trouble-maker and quite a little tease. But you’re still absolutely irresistable and you can go “straight on till morning.”

maybe new hair
December 31, 2007
About new hair.
Specifically that new hair.
Not that color. Not quite that blonde. But that cut.
[Okay maybe that blonde. That could be fun.]
This happens at the crossover of every year. I do not make New Year’s resolutions. I make new hair resolutions.
Last new year I was thinking about Witch Hunter Robin hair. But that is seriously questionable on a human who is not an anime character and also a lot of work and also did not happen I just chopped the hair off again.
This year I am thinking about that bob. That bob is pretty sharp.

and so our story begins
July 7, 2007
I have been threatening forever to edjumicate you heathens on the Sailor Moon saga. So our story begins —
And just for Stil, the origin explained [you crack me up] :
Okay, for you Stil. In the beginning, a beautiful queen lived on the moon with her beautiful daughter and her court and ruled the galaxy with kindness and life in the moon court was good. And the queen’s name was Serenity. And her daughter’s name was Serena. And there were princesses from other planets as well. Like Jupiter. And Mercury. And Venus. But then –
A long exiled dark force returned. Queen Beryl. Who had harnessed powers of darkness and ruled through fear and cruelty and drained the life forces of others to fuel her own power. She had been sent to another dimension, a dark dimension. But she gathered force there and broke back through.
There was a terrible battle. And the queen of the moon was losing. Her last defense was the imperial crystal in her sceptre, which held immense power. And with that power, she forced the dark queen back into the dark dimension –
But she was weak. Her power was diminished, and the imperial crystal all but drained, and she knew Beryl would return. So with her last strength, she sent the children of the moon, the moon court, and her daughter forward in time to be reborn. Hoping that, in the future, they would find safety and sustenance and be able to gather strength and knowledge in order to face Queen Beryl on her return.
That last effort shattered the imperial crystal, and it went forward in time too, lost in pieces on the planet Earth where the children of the mooon would be reborn.
It must be gathered back together, and the children of the moon must remember who they are, because Queen Beryl is about to return.
fun with corsets

I saw this fun quiz referenced in a google search and then had to hunt like a ninja to find the actual quiz :
“You are the Elizabethan-era corset. How refined.”
[Why does it feel like the quiz snears when it says "refined"?]

witch hunter robin hair
March 2, 2007
I am tired of my hair. I have thought about Witch Hunter Robin hair. I am not so sure that translates. Also it means growing hair out and wrapping it and every human I have seen try to pull off this look ended up looking really stupid.
[Also I suspect you have to dress like Witch Hunter Robin to pull this off and I have the clothes but never wear them mostly I trot around in jeans and t-shirts and that might really not work with that hair.]
I have been watching the Veronica Mars first season. Kristin Bell’s hair is cute there. That might work.
It is time for a change. I just have not decided what the change is.
PS: Watch out tomorrow. Susan says March 3rd is Hell Day. When Susan says something is Hell Day, it is probably going to be really bad. Uh oh.
