When real things happen to imaginary people

The #lipstickadaymay thing is happening, even if my participation is a little sporadic.





PIIIIINNNK! MAC "Trimming Talk", which Thea gave me ages ago.

... my lips aren't burgundy or black, and that confuses me. But I think I like it? I think I need a slightly deeper, bluer-toned pink, but it may end up being a color I wear again.

I am working at home again today, because the extremely cold dry weather we've been having has made my sinuses unhappy enough that they've gifted me with a sinus migraine. I would like to return their gift, but they didn't include a gift receipt.

Since I'm at home, I put some more pink dye on my hair, and am sitting in front of the computers with a vintage bonnet hair dryer. The hot air on my head is very soothing.

Seattle folks, remember! The second Mourning Market is happening this Sunday! I'm really looking forward to it; now I just need to finalize how I'm getting there. (The Stroppy One is on a very tight deadline, woe.)

Look at the pretty charm bracelets (Clicky-link!) that girlghoul makes! I have one that has b&w striped beads and pink crystals, and I love it to bits. She also makes earrings and other goodies, and they're all very pretty.

Okay, time to take more Advil Cold & Sinus, and await the return of the Stroppy One from the coffee-fetching errand. And take a look at this list of proposed documents that a writer has given me, hmmm...

Is there a quick way I could figure out if a particular blush is safe to use on my eyes?

(What? Stop looking at me like that.)

I realized last night, after rummaging around in the makeup boxes, that I have a very good pink shade via a MAC blush I own ("Dollymix", if you're curious). I just don't know if it's one of the colors that is safe to use as eye shadow. Oh, and I don't have the ingredient list anymore, but that could probably be found online.

In Other News, writing mid-year career discussions? Still tedious and maddening, go figure.

WARNING: This post contains clicky links to things that will cause stroppy_baggage and alexiarnps to roll their eyes so hard there is a danger of them never being able to see properly again.

I still want a cupcake pink faux fur "fox" stole from Coquette Faux Furriers. (Not the hot pink shown in the photo, obviously.) A pink fuzzy scarf! With a little face! I could make it talk to people and amuse myself for hours!

OOooh, a cupcake pink faux fur handbag! I don't care about the brand name (because I am not a label snob when it comes to handbags and purses), but I haven't seen anyone other than My Flat In London making vintage-style frame handbags in cupcake pink faux fur. Am I willing to pay $99 plus shipping for it? I dunno. I've coveted it for almost two years now. So darling!

(Nordstrom had it, but now says it's not in stock.)

(And while not fuzzy, this pink & black handbag from them is cute too.)

Soon there will be a post about getting to meet lord_whimsy on Saturday night (he is *just* as charming as his book), and maybe some burbling about holiday things. But right now? I'm distracting myself from the looming deadline by looking at pink faux fur accessories. I wants them aaaaall!
