Thing the first: Wow, I am hungry. Which is ridiculous, because I had my usual breakfast this morning. But I feel hungry enough to make me also feel a touch queasy. Dear Stomach, this is Not On. Also, I am craving a bagel with cream cheese and lox, and there is *nowhere* near the office that I can get such a thing. Hmmph. I hope the fig cereal bar I'm about to nibble on makes me feel better.
Thing the second: Remember my saying that I probably wasn't going to be purchasing any clothing for a while? (You know, in the previous LJ post?) The wonderful Laura at Retroscope Fashions posted preview photos of two new jackets on Steamfashion (clicky-link!) Why yes, I want the black & grey & white pinstriped Victorian-esque jacket, how clever of you to have guessed.
Thing the third: Lightboxes! Blue LED ones! They really work! We recently got one, and I've been using it for about 20 minutes in the mornings while doing my makeup. I must admit, I feel more awake for using it. Yes, the irony of me, a nocturnal-type gothy person who reads a lot of vampire books, benefiting from a lightbox is not lost on me. Stop giggling.
Thing the fourth:
Thing the fifth: I don't wanna go to my meetings today. For no particular reason, I just don't wanna.

Thing the fourth:
- Black glittery pointy-toe flats.
- B&W wide-stripe tights, worn under black floral lace stockings.
- Knee-length flouncy black skirt with ruffled hem (yes, I made it a few weeks ago), worn over pink & black petticoats.
- Black high-collared blouse with a lace yoke.
- Black with white pinstripes jacket, with a black velvet collar and skull buttons. (Made by Tripp, purchased from the lovely
genniferholland, and then tailored and cropped by me to make it waist-length and more fitted.) - Jewelry: The usual collection of rings, my Calico Jack perfume locket (worn under the blouse), and a skull-decorated silver heart pendant tied around my neck on a pink satin bow.
- Hair and makeup: Hair pulled back into a high ponytail, secured with lace-festooned hair ties, and a pink & black flower clip that
javagoth made for me. YSL Touch Eclat concealer under my eyes, a light dusting of Aromaleigh "glissade" and High-Resolution finishing powder, Aromaleigh eye shadows in "morbid curiosity" (russet/indigo duochrome), "angel wing" (opalescent pink/white), and "twinkle" (pale sparkly pink), black liquid liner on the top lid, mascara, and Besame "Noir Red" lipstick.
Thing the fifth: I don't wanna go to my meetings today. For no particular reason, I just don't wanna.

I'm glad that you tailored the jacket and are wearing it!
I still have that headdress for you, and some Japanese GLB's if you want them. I keep bringing the headdress to Vogue night, but I never see you. :(

Where do you get your pointed toe flats? I can only wear flats and I love pointed toe ones.
I really should look into getting a light box.

ONe can never have enough shoes:
http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Shoes?products=999&page=1
There are two or three pairs I'm thinking of ordering -- I can get all three for the price of one pair of 'vogs... um... yeah, that is the justification....

(Ha! On the page for those boots, the "We also recommend" section shows a military jacket (http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Outerwear/Hit+Parade+Jacket) that is suspiciously like ones already in my closet ...)

Those boots are what made me run right over to your blog! I thought it appropriate you has a new SFD post for me to post that link to :)
I was also eyeing these shoes:

and these:

and this dress (luckily it does not come in my size, or it would have been ordered in a flash I think):

Got an LED lightbox from LiteBook. It's lightweight, rechargeable, bright as heck, and comes with a carrying case & four international plug thingies so you can take it on trips to reset yourself. weighs less than a pound and it freakin' rocks. :>
so, yeah, thanks.
