Stuff, things, and safety pins.

- Thanks for all the input about the deathrock safety pin blazer idea, folks! I spent last night with the seam ripper and safety pins, and I think the jacket turned out splendidly. I am thinking of wearing it to Mourning Market on Sunday.

- Which leads me to my next point: Seattle people! Go to Mourning Market on Sunday! 12 - 5 PM at Motor, 1950 1st Ave S. Support your local alternative craftspeople!

- Last night, while the Stroppy One was working on a project and I was putting safety pins in a blazer, we watched The Vampire's Assistant. I was very pleasantly surprised by it! A far better movie than I had expected, and my only real quibble with it is also the reason I haven't read the Circ du Freak series: ZOMG GIANT SPIDER, DO NOT WANT, THANKS. Yes, the movie version of Octa was bright red and blue and a bit cartoonish. Still moved like a damn spider, and that's a big part of my phobia right there. Let's just say there were sections of the movie where I shrieked, hid behind clovisdvlbunny, and waited for the Stroppy One to tell me when it was safe to look at the screen again. Hi, I'm a goth and I'm terrified of spiders.

- PSA for Aromaleigh users: the Voile and Glissade foundations are being discontinued, as are Pure Cover and Pure Rouge. Argh! I am consoling myself with the knowledge that mineral makeup doesn't ever go bad, and so have made an order to stock up on my precious Alabaster Glissade (with an extra jar of Ghost, just to be safe). And on my next Aromaleigh order, I need to stock up on the Bleeding Poppy and Skeleton Key shades from the limited edition Victoria's Revenge line.

Okay, time to finish my second pot of tea, edit some more docs, and then go play with makeup.

I feel your pain there. I'm not thrilled with cockroaches, bedbugs or snakes. I literally freak out.

excellent!! I am glad it turned out well.

I was not sure if the Octa would be an issue for you or not. Alas. But I did enjoy the movie a great deal. :)

CURSES about the makeup. ARGH!!! and me without money to pick up any.

*has to stifle a laugh*
Sorry for that, but just the irony of a Goth being afraid of spiders!
They're not my favourite either, but in most cases stomping on/smashing them with a shoe or newspaper does the trick. Or the good old vacuum cleaner. I'm currently living in a peaceful co-existence with a daddy long-legs. I just remind it from time to time that as soon as it crosses my face it will be undone.
Nevertheless, I'm incredibly glad that there aren't any big spiders around here, no tarantulas and stuff. When my sister did an au-pair year in Gilroy, California she once had an encounter with a tarantula sitting next to the t-shirt she was about to grab. *shudder* That would make me shriek aswell. o_O And then I'd kill it with a shoe and the moist cracking sound of the body bursting open would be one of the most satisfying sounds to me.

he Voile and Glissade foundations are being discontinued

Buh? Are they being replaced with other foundations? I love the Voile -- it's what I wear every day!

GAH - thanks for the warning about Vampire's Assistant - I was thinking about watching it with K, but after making it thru *both* LOTR and Harry Potter with large amounts of screen time missed for ICK, I don't think I'm ready for yet *another* one...

*sigh*

Re. Aromaleigh -- really? That's too bad. My current jar of Glissade will last the next... two... years, but after that I'll probably just move on to Jane Iredale or somesuch. I won't touch Bare Escentuals, it makes my face itch. It breaks my heart to see Miss K discontinuing all the products I love from her line, but so be it.

I plan on getting a handful of foundation samples from Meow Cosmetics, in hopes that they'll have a good replacement for Glissade.

We enjoyed The Vampire's Assistant too. Salma Hayek as the bearded lady was great...

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't have realistic-looking spiders on my fabrics, even. Which really limits the web stuff I can use...

[requieminblack.livejournal.com]

I also liked the Vampires Assistant, cheese factor and all. I also am creeped out by spiders, but only big icky ones. They little summer variety of harmless teeny tiny ones and daddy long leg ones that like to make pretty webs in my house that I rarely see AND eat the annoying bugs? They can stay, hehe.

I so wish I could also go to the Mourning Market! I honestly think it is worth a trip to Seattle just to go. Have fun!

It was a surprisingly cute movie. OK....maybe cute isn't the word if you fear technicolor spiders.

Hi, I'm a goth and I'm terrified of spiders.

I've heard that Walt Disney was afraid of mice, so... don't worry? :3

Hee hee heee!

Hi!! I'm goth AND Nictophobic...

We all have our quirks!

>PSA for Aromaleigh users: the Voile and Glissade foundations are being discontinued, as are Pure Cover and Pure Rouge. Argh!

Argh indeed! I love my Glissade foundation so I guess I need to stock up. Is she replacing it with a new line?

BTW I bought some Infernal Chaos eyeshadow on your rec and I love it. Bleeding Poppy may be next. AND I've been looking on nail sites for a good black nail polish. I haven't had this much fun with my make up in ages and I blame it all on you--well, you and Plei.

I lost a box of colorful (I think I used purple) safety pins the other day. I used those for everything. Would the oh so spooky, and ever so trendy, madame know where one could purchase new ones?
