Tuesdays are full of gronk

[cupcake_goth]

So it seems that Tuesdays are going to be the days where I feel very very tired. Send tea, cupcakes, and pretty boys in eyeliner.

I did not get any writing done last night. No, instead I went to the release for the sepiachord companion CD at the Seattle Steamvent meet-up. (I don't really consider myself steampunk, but I have friends who are, and a lot of "steampunk" clothing works for my wardrobe once you change the color scheme. Brown, ugh.)

Anyhoodle, yes, Sepiachord companion CD! The Sepiachord crew are all people I am terribly fond of (and don't get to spend nearly enough time with), and I am very excited about the first compilation CD they've put together.

Writing after going out didn't happen because the Infamous BlueJay came over for a bit of socializing. She handed me a stripy blazer (yay!) and a buttonhole machine for my vintage Elna sewing machine. Which she taught me how to use. Now the mysteries of well-made buttonholes are mine, mine! Muah-ha-hah-ha! The Infamous BlueJay also has stated that she is going to teach me how to make waistcoats and jacket-y things, because my fear of sewing princess seams is just silly. I raise a dubious eyebrow at this, but am willing to give it a try.

I am particularly amused by my outfit today. From the waist up, it is very similar to what my avatar in Rock Band is wearing; she's wearing a black blouse with pink tie, but otherwise the same. However, she wears much shorter skirts than me. I have not worn a mid-thigh length mini skirt since I was about 22, and rather Deathrock-ish.

In conclusion, again: send tea, cupcakes, and pretty boys in eyeliner. I need to wake up.

If I find pretty boys in eyeliner, I will share. Promise.

One: your outfit is charming; that may be one of my favorites of yours.

Two: I did princess seams on crepe-back satin my third sewing project. They're not as scary as they look. =)

Buttonhole gadgets rock.

Send more pictures of the Rock Band avatar. =)

Oh, and since when has it been considered socially appropriate to take photographs within the bathroom? Shame on you! Tsk-tsk!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Send more pictures of the Rock Band avatar. =)

So you can take a trip down Memory Lane? ;)

It's perfectly appropriate to take photos using bathroom mirrors, as long as no one else is in the room at the time. ;p

If I wanted to re-live that section of my misspent youth, I have plenty of pictures to refer to. Personally, I am just curious as to what your avatar looks like. =)

Your outfit is adorable! I am in agonies of love with that skirt. Did you sew it yourself?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The skirt is from Retroscope Fashions; I customized it with the heart & bat patch.

[indilwen.livejournal.com]

It is really cute...which skirt is it? I've had my eye on
some of their stuff for a while.

You should have no problem with graduating to more complicated sewing projects. Once you have the technique its all just practice to get it down. Keep making buttonholes and test seams until you the fear is gone. Yay for having good friends who sew. :0 )

Pretty boys in eyeliner, huh? Ok,but I get to keep Gerard!
Tea & Cupcakes? Well, you're already wearing a top hat. Bring Clovis & you can have a Mad Tea Party. Your outfit today is very cute. I can sends hugs, will that wake you up?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE TO SHARE GERARD. Else I will stamp my feet and be very cross.

Hugs are good. I like hugs.

So you're saying that we now possess the power of well-placed buttons?

Have I mentioned that I've achieved fancy layer cakes? I can even make fancy layered cupcakes served in actual tea cups.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yes, well-placed buttons! Truly, we are unstoppable now!

(Hey, did you get Pete's email?)

[domestinatrix.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did get Pete's email... I need to get back to him, I've just been slammed the past few days and am behind on inboxing (is that a word yet? it seems like it could be).

i absolutely love the button maker on my machine, but can never get them *quite* straight, heh. also, there's a REALLY cute pattern in... simplicity, i believe... for a costume with an ADOOOOOOOOOOOORABLE waist coat. seriously, i'm buying the costume pattern just for the jacket part of it. :D

I don't have tea and I don't wear eyeliner. However here are some Cupcake Kabobs:

[arky-tiger.livejournal.com]

OMG! That makes me feel hungry and sick all at once!!

[salad-barbarian.livejournal.com]

Then my work here is done.

I have seen internet places that say that actually, you can be Steampunk and not wear brown... which I think basically just means that Neo-Victorians should feel free to attend Steampunk events... In any circumstance, should I ever attend a steampunk type thingy, I will no doubt be dressed in black.

My son just saw this picture and asked, "Is that you?"

[padhopper.livejournal.com]

I need makeup too. Mascara.

[jjbrozenske.livejournal.com]

I'm just loving your blog. "Send pretty boys in eyeliner." HA! Next time someone runs for lunch and asks me what I want, I know what to say.
