When real things happen to imaginary people

Apparently a lot of you folks say I should sell that particular stripey blazer. Heh. Some of you suggested taking fabric markers and coloring in between alternating black stripes, thus creating wide black stripes. I do like that idea. However, the Stroppy One suggested I do that with my pink fabric markers, which would give me a pink and white striped jacket with black details. I will wear the blazer in its current incarnation when we go run errands tomorrow, and ponder this idea. But feel free to tell the Stroppy One he's brilliant!

(staxxy, no sequins. No. That feels too ... costume-y, for me.)

Help me, oh Internets! The Peter Murphy concert is Thursday night. I, of course, dress slightly more elaborately than normal for these sorts of events. I am dithering between two options:

Circus Ringmaster: Pretty much what I described in this post (clicky-link!). Red riding jacket, black lace blouse w/ jabot, black ruffly skirts, stripy tights, boots, low-crowned top hat (low-crowned because wearing a large hat to a concert is RUDE).

Stripey: Pretty much the exact same outfit as above, but with one of my b&w stripey blazers instead of the red jacket.

The changing weather (noooooo! Not the Burning Orb again!) means that demons have taken over my sinuses. This, combined with PMS, means that I am working from home. And wearing bloomers that have an embroidered patch that says "Cranky", because I can. The Stroppy One, because he loves me, is going to Go Forth and get me an iced double-tall Americano.

Makeup! Oh dear, MAC is releasing a Disney Villains collection. That clicky link leads to a makeup blog with some photos and color descriptions. Let me direct your attention to three particular products:

Maleficent Lipstick

Violetta Violet purple (Amplified) (Permanent at PRO)

Dark Deed Burgundy plum (Amplified) (Limited Edition)

Maleficent Beauty Powder

Briar Rose Soft violet pink with pearl (Limited Edition)

Argh. I do not need more makeup, and honest, I really do know that. Not to mention that MAC has developed a depressing trend of making lipsticks that look great in the tube, but are either brown-toned or just not vivid enough.

Hey, you know what I'm doing next week? Going to see Adam Lambert in concert! Tall, pretty, sparkly pop star! This means I need to make a decision on what I'm going to wear. ( Well, pink and black is kind of a given. )

Okay, time for more editing, more headache meds, and more water. I promise I will try not to give into the urge to drill a hole in my head.
