Stuff and things, and shameless self-promotion

[cupcake_goth]

Firstly, I won't be at Club V tomorrow night. My usual club companion is away on vacation, and I really should use the extra time for writing. Sorry, djeternaldarkne!

Secondly, the weather. Oh, the glorious weather. I'm wearing tights and boots! I brought my velvet capelet with me, in case the bus ride home is chilly! I'm going to make soup for dinner! It's supposed to stay like this for almost a week!

(Yes, all those exclamation points were absolutely necessary. Autumn is my favorite season, and I have been LONGING for it to properly arrive.)

Thirdly, the shameless self-promotion part. I'm in the Oct/Nov issue of BUST magazine. Y'know how they always have a page featuring someone and their personal style? I'm that person for this issue.

::runs around flailing excitedly::

If you go to the BUST site, there's a feature that lets you preview the issue.
http://www.bust.com/Magazine/On-Newsstands-Now.html - I'm on page 31. Now I just need to get my mitts on an actual copy of the magazine ...

I think you look adorable! I can't read the write up, but how cool is it that there is one!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

That is SO COOL, Jilli!!!

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

You look FABULOUS, as is to be expected.

[domestinatrix.livejournal.com]

[queeniex.livejournal.com]

[noxenlux.livejournal.com]

[poh.livejournal.com]

You're, like, all famous n' shit!

[poetry-lady.livejournal.com]

omgomgomgomg I have been getting "Bust" for years now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will you autograph my copy? SERIOUSLY. I have a copy of Mode autographed by Camryn Manneheim. I have books by my friends/fellow poets/writers I've met, all autographed, and CDs from local musicians, also autographed (whenever possible).

:) And THAT ROCKS!!!! I love the Style page, I always read it, and like most of the people's styles (for them).

And I do love this weather, too! I love autumn, it is my favorite season. I love the contrasts of the very warm days that have that tinge of gold lighting, and that hint of the cold and the damp. The foggy nights in the valley, where the low-lying fog rolls across the river valley, while a full moon glows high in the otherwise clear sky, and lights up the fog brilliantly. I love the first days of rain, when it feels so good to have those clothes on that you've missed for the sunny summer season, feels good to curl up and slow down with a cup of tea and a good book while listening to the rain patter (or pour!) on the roof, gurgling in the gutters, the cats purring or running around chasing toys, taking breaks to come for pettin's. Where you're grateful for the cooler weather as a break from all the activity when it's warm, when it's OK to just meditate... to plan, and to tally the year's good to store up for the bad days that do happen on occasion...

(Now you've made me wax all lyrical... :) )

I know - I'm telling people here that it's my summer. I want to go outside in the chilly air and gambol like a newborn lamb in the springtime. On the walk home from the bus yesterday, I let out a happy shriek and Shawn went "what? what???" and I said "look - GOOSEBUMPS!" Ahhhh.

Will be haunting the bookstores for BUST.

[rimrunner.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I will look for it when I get that issue in.

As to acquiring a copy, I know I've seen it at Bulldog News.

[butterflake.livejournal.com]

Ok, now that's just cool. Congratulations

[wire-mother.livejournal.com]

that's excellent! great photo.

autumn is the best time of year.

[girlgoth.livejournal.com]

Congrats on BUST! :D I can't wait to read it, the photo looks awesome! I'm so excited and happy for you! :D

I am so excited for Autumn too! We usually make ourselves wait until the official first day of Autumn to make pumpkin pie, but we made one last night cause the weather got us all excited and we just couldn't wait. :D Soup sounds very appetizing too!

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! You look marvelous.

[radcliffe.livejournal.com]

Oh that is lovely!!!!!!

[hackerguitar.livejournal.com]

Outstanding. Very, very cool.

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

Damn - now I wish I'd remembered to update my address for my subscription sooner...

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Go you! You *do* have fantastic personal style and I'm not surprised at all (and yet still so thoroughly proud) that they chose to recognize you for it :)

[water-of-fire.livejournal.com]

Cool! And it looks like you're on page 33. :)

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

Naw, I just checked a physical copy, and it's page 31. The page count of the physical book may not count the cover & inside cover.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

that would do it.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

33, actually.

and Y

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

See comment above.

[pix-kristin.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEE!!! You look fantastic! I can't wait to pick up a copy!

[euterpe35.livejournal.com]

oh, that's neat to all values of neat!

and you look fab, as per usual :-)

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

I just went out and bought a copy. I showed the cashiers, even, and you were much admired. Would you like me to mail it to you when I'm done?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the offer, but the publisher sent me my comp copy today. :)

[elenorerigby.livejournal.com]

Yay! Now that is one issue of BUST that I will totally buy.
PS. I saw you at Club V last week, we did that kind of "don't I know you?" thing in the bathroom (at least that's how I interpreted it-although if it wasn't that way on your end, you are excused for not knowing me as our connection consists merely of LJ and an occasional pass-by in Ballard.)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hey waitaminute, that was you? If we do that again, please introduce yourself or say "Hey, this is elenorerigby!" I am notoriously bad with names, and love being reminded that YES, I do know that person I'm looking at.

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

With my super-vision, I was able to read it. It's not for the faint of sight, though (i.e. trying to read it sucks x_o). Regardless, I think it's a very wonderful article and the more publicity goth gets as a respectable weirdness, the happier I am.

[silverhawthorn.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And what a wonderful picture, too! (Inside my head I'm all: I know her! I know her! *grin*)

I'll have you know your weather reports have been making me very, very jealous. Why oh why am I still stranded in Kentucky!?!

*makes grabby hands at the Pacific Northwest*

[ex-pennydrea364.livejournal.com]

ooooo you look fab! I will have to pick up a copy when I get to the USA. Can you get Bust at most bookshops in the mag section? I know you have to order Bust online in OZ as it is hard to find instore....

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

It is commonly available. Barnes & Noble & even Whole Foods carry it.

[sepulchrave.livejournal.com]

that is freaking awesome.

[schmi.livejournal.com]

I missed this entry and did a double take when I saw you in Bust magazine. Hooray for them featuring you. :)
