By about 10:30, I had nodded off over the computer a couple of times, and the Stroppy One realized he needed more sleep if he was going to be safe to drive to run some errands later. So, nappage happened, but only for two hours, and I no longer have the going-to-hallucinate-any-time-now sensation, so that's a bonus.

What I do have at the moment is a small(ish) fluffy white and brown cat sprawled across my arms. Apparently Trinian Queen of Fuzzwumpia has decided that now is the time for me to support her entire weight across my forearms. This makes typing interesting.

In shallow fashion coveting news, I have been lucky enough to see some preview photos of Lip Service's "Lolita Candy" spring 2010 line. I am DOOMED. Remember the first time I mentioned this line, and said that the colorways it was going to be offered in were black-on-black and black/pink? The black/pink colorway is black and pink striped. As in, my holy grail of fabric pattern. And in items that would fit in seamlessly with my existing wardrobe, such as knee-length full skirts with ruffles, ruffled blouses, a waist cincher (clicky-link to line drawings of the items!) ... yep, doomed.

---

I wonder if I have enough powers of concentration to go lay out pattern pieces and then put the fabric in a dye bath? This could be exciting.

I am severely coveting those poofy lace-trimmed pants... oh, would they ever make cute summer pajama-pants!

You are doomed indeed!

Did you know that the MAC black lipsticks are SELLING OUT? I stopped in to get some yesterday, and the freestanding store in my local mall was sold out, and they very kindly called up the Macy's counter and I got the matte, the mattene, and one of the glosses, which was the last gloss they had left!

Also, the freestanding store was playing Bowie and Siouxsie and Joy Division. I felt so welcome!

SELLING OUT? What? Crazy, I tell you. Either there are a lot of Goths out there who have been waiting for a higher-quality black lipstick, or there are a lot of trend-followers who are going to wear black lipstick once, and then toss the product in a drawer.

I couldn't begin to tell you which around here, because the local scene is barely big enough to support a regular club night, but the nice girls at the counter (who love the black line themselves) said a lot of people were planning to use them to layer. The Macy's girl liked black gloss over red base, which is the reverse of my usual red glitter gloss over black base! I even layered last night -- I was wearing plum and black clothes, so I put the Date Night "dazzleglass" over the black mattene stuff. Pinky-purple with sparkles, yay!

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have something that goes on creamier than Wet 'n' Wild.

how?


I see they have plus sizes for some of that amazingly cute clothing - how does one pre-order or buy it before it is gone on the first day????

Re: how?


You can pre-order Lip Service stuff from Redemption; I've done that in the past, and the folks at Redemption are absolute sweethearts!

Here's the info about pre-orders: If you are interested in any of these items, please contact us at lipinq@redemptionklothing.com and we can check on the availability for you.

Preorder Terms - Just let us know what you are interested in and we will try to get it for you! We will let you know an approximate date when the item should be ready to come in from the warehouse and then follow up with you once the item is actually produced. If you have placed a pre-order with us in the past and not paid after the item is ready, we may require payment in full before pre-ordering an item for you.

Chiming in here: The Style Black line is selling out in San Francisco, too -- I got one of the two remaining tubes of the mattene at Nordstrom's.

Apropos of nothing, if the Penultimate liner went on the least bit... oh... BLACK, it'd be my holy grail of eyeliners, as I love the razor-thin line. However, it is grey, even after a zillion billion coats. I'm just going to have to keep practicing my liner fu with Blacktrack and my Bobbi Brown liner brush.

Maybe Her Fluffiness is trying to tell you to go back to bed and nap with her now.
