I've also got three bloodspattered tea cups and saucers available! (Did I mention they're dishwasher safe?) $20 + shipping. The photo of them is here. FYI, the tea cup that looks like it was used to smack someone in the head has been spoken for.

Anyway, stuff! Nifty stuff! Please leave a comment if you want to buy something!

(This message brought to you by the "Oh crap, I went over budget buying Halloween goodies, didn't I?" realization.)
Question first: Where is the best place for me to purchase a LOT of black faceted beads? Probably around 8 - 10 mm in size? Yes, I am going give in and just string my own very long gothy-goth necklace.

Picture! Look at what [livejournal.com profile] girlgoth did!

Her work (including this picture) will be on display at Norwescon this weekend.

I am a gothy princess. I will not even try to deny this. But there is something SO SATISFYING and FUN about the process of creating a Neo-Victorian zombie outfit. It always makes me happy.

Fun with ripping, corn syrup, and food coloring! And cocoa powder! )

Note to Self: You will need to find a new white blouse for vampire dress-up. That blouse is now very much the blouse for zombie dress-up. Yes, there is a difference.

From Zombie Walk 2009



As you can see, my hair did NOT stay as enormous as I had originally made it. Dammit, I knew I should have bought a can of AquaNet.

The Zombie Walk was a huge amount of fun. I was ruefully amused that apparently even when I try to make myself look like the menacing and shambling undead, the typical comment said to me is "Awww, cute!" Oh well, I have accepted my cartoon-like nature.
Dear Self,

Where did you hide the stage blood? It is necessary for tomorrow's Zombie Walk outfit.

Back to rummaging through drawers, yes indeed.

EDITED TO ADD: Found it! In the drawer with the makeup brushes. I don't remember putting it there, but okay. Also, deliberately and artfully destroying clothing for a zombie outfit = strangely soothing.
Y'know, with the clocks "falling back" last night, there is NO reason for me to feel tired. Or headache-y, really. Both of which mean I'm feeling kind of fuzzy brained, and don't feel up to writing much. Which means I'm just going to post a small picspam instead.

The best reaction to my outfit came when I wandered over to another building to visit the editing team I'm loosely affiliated with. One of the women saw me from behind and said "Jillian, wearing your regular clothing doesn't count as a costume."

Then I turned around. She jumped back and uttered a stifled shriek. I was very pleased.
I just got back from wandering to the cafeteria with my former office-mate. The cafeteria is doing some sort of promotion where if you bought a sandwich, you got a free bottle of Kagome juice. Diana picked "Ruby Pomegranate Harmony", and offered to let me try some. So when we got back to our offices, I decanted some into my handy tea cup.

"Wow!" says Diana, "It looks like you've got a cup full of blood! That's so perfect for you!"

She's not wrong. It does look like I have a dainty serving of blood in my tea cup. And the "Ruby Pomegranate Harmony" is very tasty. I may have to start buying this stuff; not solely because it looks like I'm being a very tidy vampiress, but that is part of the attraction, yes.
