Last night's Vampire Masquerade Ball was wonderful. Here, have some quick phone photos that were taken last night.

Yes, posted elsewhere last night. )
I'm already looking forward to next year's event. And yes, I'm also already trying to think of what my outfit will be.
Ivory or cream-colored outfits. I keep finding myself idly browsing eBay, looking for ivory military jackets.

I know part of it is the ivory or white for mourning idea. I also know that part of it is my long-standing fascination with Patricia Morrison from the "Dominion" music video.

So. Anyone seen any really striking, semi-Victorian jackets or blazers in ivory or white and want to give me clicky-links? I suspect that after the Vampire Ball this weekend, I am going to be doing a lot of browsing of thrift stores, searching for garments to customize.

The thrifting Powers That Be withheld their favor today. Okay, sure, I found a pair of pinstriped PVC trousers from Lip Service, and two tea cups with heart-shaped saucers, but did I find an ivory wedding dress at a reasonable price? Oh no, I did not. If I had realized LAST WEEKEND that I needed one, I probably would have found one. Hmmph.

I wonder if I can sweet-talk [livejournal.com profile] maiaarts or my Dad into running to St. Vinnie's tomorrow? Is it worth it? Or should I just bite the bullet and make a long, vaguely Victorian-ish skirt from the bits and bobs of ivory fabric I have around. Questions, questions.
Okay peeps, I am looking for an ivory or cream top hat. NOT white.

A quick browse here: http://www.uniformalwearhouse.com/apages/tuxedoahats.html shows me that the styles I prefer are not available in the color I want (Yes, I'm looking for maybe the Prince Charles Top Hat, the Stubby Carriage Top Hat, or the Victorian Caroler Tall Hats. I am predictable in my tastes.)

Anyway, a top hat that is of an interesting shape, and in ivory. Used or vintage is fine, but I don't want to pay insane prices for it, and (here's the big catch) I need it in under two weeks. Anyone have any leads?
