A few pictures from last week

Yes, I had my photo taken with Mary Poppins. No, I did not mug her afterwards for her parasol. This photo was taken on our first day at Disney, after I had managed to get not-quite 3 hours of sleep on the plane. Please note the very well-behaved clovisdvlbunny, who Mary Poppins was charmed by.






Me posing with the funeral carriage outside of the Haunted Mansion. Please note that I am wearing fingerless gloves and a scarf in this picture. In Florida. I took the Seattle weather with me, apparently, because it was FREEZING that day. It was cold enough that I forsook all of my fashion ideals and ... bought a hoodie. A hoodie that is more like a long-sleeved baby tee with a hood attached, because it has no zipper or closures (it pulls on over one's head), and that has Jack Skellington on it, but still. A hoodie. If you look closely at the picture, you can tell that I'm wearing it under my fitted wool jacket. There was much despairing muttering on my part of "I can't believe I bought a hoodie. But at least now I'm warm".




noisedesign and pix_kristin are sneaky sneaky creatures, and surprised us with the gift of taking us to a VERY nice dinner at Victoria & Albert's. (V&A is a lot like the Herbfarm^*. But at Disney World, in one of the swankier hotels at the resort.) They had told us to be sure to pack a fancy outfit to wear someplace special. Of course, in my wardrobe, "fancy outfit to wear someplace special" means something with a Victorian circus air about it, complete with tiny top hat.




^*Yes, I know. I still need to write up the menu from the Herbfarm. I also will write up the menu from Victoria & Albert's. I'll try to get both of those done tomorrow night.


I suspect that the various stories from our trip to Disney World will end up being posted in a somewhat scattered fashion, 'cos I've got Other Things I should be paying attention to. Tomorrow, I will try to write up the story of our magical trip to Norway in Epcot, and the ... something that is the Maelstrom ride located there. (Even now, noisedesign and pix_kristin are intoning "The magic of Nore-vey, yaahh", and giggling. Trust me, they are.)

The black dress in the Mary Poppins photo? Blackrayne made it for me! Princess-seamed black stretch velvet ftw!

Thank you, oh photo coach. I'm starting to get more comfortable with having pictures taken. (Which reminds me, I should get someone to snap a photo of today's outfit ...)
