Books, lipstick, skirts, and an SFD photo

[cupcake_goth]

This past weekend was good, filled with seeing people and Getting Stuff Done. If only the Getting Stuff Done part had included more writing accomplished, but oh well. I managed to finish one of the things that needed writing, and am now just waiting for some final feedback. ::nudges jaborwhalky gently::

(Oh dear, the deadline for the next Steampunk Tales is Sunday. Whoops! Guess I know what just got put in the top slot of the writing priority queue!)

Part of the problem is that I have this huge and enticing stack of new-to-me books to read:

(Yes, most of them are vampire-type books. Don't try to act shocked, you're fooling no one.)

So of course I am distracted from writing! But I think I'm going to have to re-institute the rule of only reading during bath-time, otherwise I will never get all the writing done that I need to.

trystbat mentioned wearing one of the MAC black lipsticks over a deep fuchsia pink color, thus achieving a nice black cherry effect. "Ooooh!" said I, and promptly started rummaging in my makeup stash to see if I had a deep fuchsia lipliner. I don't have quite the color I want, but did achieve a similar effect with a pinky-red lipliner under Midnight Media. I'm very tempted to see if there are any MAC counters near me that still have Black Night in stock, so I can swap 6 empty containers for a new lipstick. And then find a good fuchsia lipliner from Wn'W or NYX Cosmetics.

Skirts! So, remember me burbling about the Raven skirt by Morrigan? (clicky-link!) I was lucky enough to get one in black and silver! It is stunning; the detail of the screen-printing is astonishingly delicate, and the skirt construction is very well done. I can't wait for her to announce her winter line.
