We went and saw Zombieland this afternoon. Wheeee! I loved it. I now have "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica stuck in my head, and I want a Twinkie. A note for the squeamish: this is a gory, blood-spattered movie. If you don't do well with gore, you might want to give this one a miss. I, on the other hand, cannot wait until I can own my own copy of it.

Clicky-links!

If you wander over to the blog of Miss K of Aromaleigh, you can read all about how you can donate to a worthy cause AND get eye shadow custom-made for you. I think it's a great cause AND a tempting incentive. (I chose the school asking for books as my donation recipient, because books! Everyone needs books!)

The Victorian Dress-Up Doll for the novel Soulless! I love these sorts of online paper dolls (okay, I love paper dolls in general), and the fact that it's for one of my favorite new books is a bonus. (I'm also a smidge envious and coveting, because it's been a long-cherished dream of mine to eventually do some sort of Gothic Charm School paper doll thing. Someday, someday ...)

The Raven skirt from MorriganNYC. I covet this skirt SO MUCH. I'm waiting to hear back from them to find out if they have any of the black with silver print left in stock. I need to find someone who is capable of doing finely-detailed screen printing and talk over some ideas with them. But until I do, I'm going to be keeping a close eye on the offerings from MorriganNYC, yes indeed.

Okay, now for the love of mike, go see Jennifer's Body so I can discuss it with you at great length and beyond merely stating that it's a Hole cover of a Tori Amos song or perhaps the other way around.

Eeeeeee! Dress up doll game! I love playing with them SO much! That one . . . makes me covet the little boots! Oh, and here: http://pinkparasol.deviantart.com/art/Dress-Me-Up-Clockwork-Couture-112801585

If I had the monies to spend on a worthy cause . . . I would, in a heartbeat. Sadly I can't, booooooooo! The cause you chose, spot on my dear! Spot on! You are correct . . everyone needs books . . . books rule!

Okay that dress up doll game was too fun!

My friend Deidra might be able to do screen printing for you or know someone who could. I forgot to get her contact info for you tonight but will see about getting it this weekend...

Ah, I love screen-printed skirts! I've seen that Raven one before. Brands such as Moi même moitié and Juliette et Juliette have awesome stuff like that, but so expensive... I have a custom-made skirt with a spooky puppet circus screen-printing, it's awesome, but unfortunately a bit too big at the waist... ç__ç. It was made by Excalibur Girls (they didn't do the screen-printing part though, I bought the fabric separately), an American brand you should def have a look at, there isn't much on their website, but they do awesome, high quality custom clothing : https://www.excaliburgirls.com/

Wow, sorry for the wall of text...
Metallica is awesome :D if you like metal, you might like my band : www.myspace.com/amaranthysmetalband hope you don't mind the shameless advertising :3

Thanks for the Zombieland review! I'd love to see it, but I don't do well with gore at all anymore. Plus the zombies looked really gross and I don't want to humiliate myself by planting beets in the theater.

Speaking of movies, beware the trailer for Cirque du Freak. I found it overly spider intensive. You had warned me about the books, of course, but it still came as an unpleasant surprise.

Thanks for the warning. It's a shame, really, since it looks really funny, but I barely made it through Shaun of the dead.

Greetings Mrs. Lady of the Manners! ^^

(To preface as to why or how I'm 'stalking' your Livejournal, I just very recently noticed it was featured in the Livejournal Spotlight and I recognized you as the author of "The Gothic Charm School" book/site... My apologies if this offends however).

But anyhoo, I'd have to agree entirely - "Zombieland" 'twas most amazing, awful in a totally good way AND quite endearing.

And lastly, I don't know if you've made such a post before, but have you ever made a list or a critical review of books you're especially fond of? (I'm always seeking good reads, but as of late there seems to be a dearth of decent vampire/etc. books)...

oh I am so jealous - zombieland isn't opening here in australia until december and I want to see it so bad! I'm trying to convince everyone we should dress up as zombies when we go see it - the bf is not impressed though...

I don't know about where you are, but when I was in middle school (public school) in upstate NY, screen printing was a project for my Technology class. If you don't get in touch with anyone thru lj, it might be worth contacting your local school district to see if they do it, where their equipment comes from, and go from there :)
