Post-birthday stuff and things

[cupcake_goth]

Thank you for all the nice birthday wishes, everyone! They were very nice to read during my work day. My birthday finished up with dinner at Purple, which I adore. (I chose a "Sally Bowles" for my birthday cocktail, partially because I love St. Germain mixed with champagne, partially because I have a long history of people telling me I look like Liza Minnelli. I don't see it myself, but okay.) When we got home, the Stroppy One proved his devotion to me by agreeing to watch an episode from the True Blood S1 set he gave me instead of watching the new Star Trek movie. This is impressive because the Stroppy One is A Fan of Trek, and we've seen all of S1 True Blood. But I wanted to indulge in vampires, and he went along with it. Awww!

Today is a black lipstick day, just because. I'm wearing the MAC "midnight media" mattene lipstick over Urban Decay's "envious" lipliner, the combination of which gives me a deep black with cherry undertones. After reading the reviews of MAC's "black knight" creamsheen lipstick, I am not going to bother tracking down a tube. Instead, I will probably order a tube of NYX's black lipstick. Yes, I want more black lipstick. Embrace your gothy clichés, remember?

I started reading the new Morganville Vampires book (Fade Out) by Rachel Cain, and it's just as good as the rest of the series. WTF SPIDER THAT JUMPS ON CLAIRE AND GROWS TO THE SIZE OF A SMALL DOG?! DO NOT WANT! Gaaaah! Not a scene I was expecting, and I nearly threw the book across the room at that point.

I need to get back to editing documentation. But what I really want to do is toodle around the interwebs looking for Fluevog boots and browsing the Alchemy Gothic site for wildly over-the-top gothy accessories. But no. Focusing on the day job.

Again, thank you for the birthday wishes!

What lovely lace cuffs.

Liza I can see a bit. You have similar black hair, and when she was doing Cabaret she did that black make up thing.
But you are Prettier, Cuter even.
I like the outfit. You mix pink and black with much fun.

I love that look, the pink buttons running down the front, it is rather lovely! And rather doll like. The lace cuffs add extra gothy ooph!

That coat is SO CUTE!!
Liza Minnelli...hmmm...I guess a little bit, I could see that. I think you look like my friend Jennifer Rothrock! :D

I can't believe I am a day late when we were just talking about birthdays!! Ugh. But happy birthday, and I'm glad it was fun for you! I actually thought of you today too because I had to go replace some makeup after the pinkeye thing, and I got my makeup done at the MAC counter while I was there. I didn't buy black lipstick but MAC makes me think of your LJ :)

Truth be known, I've never met a Nyx product I didn't like, and I have their black lipstick -- it's creamy and opaque, I recommend it.
