Mom was very touched by everyone wishing her a happy birthday yesterday! We went out for a very tasty dinner in celebration.

Today involves checking the P.O. box, grocery shopping, and going to Half-Price Books with 8 bags of things I culled from the shelves and cabinets. I want for extra spending money for next week's Mourning Market! Tonight is going dancing with the Usual Suspects, yay!

Hey! If you're in the Seattle area, on Sunday night you should go to Pillow Full of Drone at Visonary Dance in Fremont, because celadon is performing! (The "Dark Decorum" theme music for the Gothic Charm School videos was composed by celadon.)

Clicky-links of coveting! Why hello there, Funeral Cortage 'Belle Epoch' Top Hat! You are very, very pretty. You are also cost almost as much as a pair of Fluevog boots, so sadly, you will remain on the "pretty to look at" part of the coveting list. But damn, that's a gorgeous hat.

Oh hey, speaking of Fluevog boots, have you people SEEN the new boots that are part of the Spring line?


They're not available for purchase yet. I am terrified to find out how much they cost, because ohmygod, I want them. Yeah, the designers at Fluevog know what I like, that's for sure.

saw them and thought of you immediately. but didn't want to be the bearer-of-budget-ruining-news, and figured you would see them soon, so i didn't leave you a comment about them :p

I've been learning how to make my own hats from buckram. That one's lovely, but not much more complicated than what I already know how to do; we could totally figure out belle epoque cortege hats.

Yeah, I'm already drooling. I wonder, if you go with the vegan canvas version, can you dye the uppers? We may have to explore this.

Well. Now I don't feel quite so bad about having waited on the Libby Smiths (which are sold out in black in my size).

As for hats, there are options for having lovely things if one isn't totally committed the top-line fur felt and vintage trims, and is willing to do a bit of work one's self. See yesterday's [livejournal.com profile] costumiere post as an example.

Oh, and you saw these (http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w=fresh&p=10&pp=1&view=detail&colourID=2662), too, right?

I did. There may have been squeaky noises made.

I need to win the lottry so I can have all the Fluevogs I covet. There's no other solution.

I made squeaky noises when I saw those. I want both the pink and the black. When the hubby heard the squeaking he said "you're looking at the Fluevog site again aren't you?"

Oh. Dear. I might actually be able to wear those Fluevogs... WANT!

From: [identity profile] staxxy.livejournal.com


oh damn. I have been doing so well with not being that covetous of the boots...

Three hundred and SEVENTY FIVE dorra?
My god, you could wear it to mourn your OWN passing, as you starve your way to an impoverished death!

Does Fluevog have a link directly into your brain?

AAAAHHHHH!!!

*runs around in circles screaming incoherent syllables like a four-year-old hyped up on red cordial*

NEEEEEDDD THOOOOOOSSSSSE SSSHHHOOOOOOOOEEESSSSSSSSS!!!

*stops*
*blinks*
*smooths skirts down and walks away quietly*

The hat is amazingly beautiful.

I, too, have been pining for the new Fluevog's and fear what the price may be; however, ohmygoodness how I want them.

On a totally separate path. I keep meaning to send you a note and picture of my car that I feel certain you would appreciate. I have a 1967 Mustang that is Dusk Rose (yes, a beautiful shade of cupcake pink) with black deluxe interior and chrome accents. Yes, my vintage car is pink, black and "silver". What makes it even more special is that my mom bought it new in 67 (her first new car) and Mom and Dad brought me home from the hospital in it.

While not a cupcake car (like Nordstrom's had this past year), it is still beautiful and always garners quite a bit of attention. When I take it out for a drive or take it to a show, I always have to make sure that I 'match' my car. What good is having a pink car if it doesn't become a proper accessory?

Also on the shoe side, have you seen these (http://www.pleaserusa.com/ProductDetail.asp?PROD_CD=VIC45%2FGB%2FPU&STYLE_CD=VICTORIAN-45)? The Movie Costumer's website had a link to them because of the resemblance to the Red Queen's shoes...

That is probably because the mistress of the SF shop and buddy buddy with the designer is a goth girly herself. He even made her a one of a kind pair of Fluevogs for her wedding.

  1. Love the top hat!
  2. I want Fluevog to bring the Countess Oliva back. And, of course, I want the money to pay for them.

I thought of you the second I saw those!

Oh and DE has two technical writer positions posted today. Didn't look to see if they are from the same place just figured I'd give you a head's up!
