In other news, why is it so difficult to find a b&w striped blazer in a size 12/14? I want another one to dye pink. Is that so much to ask?

So there I was yesterday, happily (still) listening to Within Temptation, when I swear I could hear my brain produce the screech of a needle across a record, and then my brain demanded "Womanizer". Yes, as in the Britany Spears song. Look, I don't understand it either. I mean, in my head there's some context and back story as to why I personally find the song hilarious, but for the most part? I blame minim_calibre and SA. (I blame them for most of the ridiculous poppy music I end up with on my iPod, actually.)
Speaking of ridiculous poppy music, yes, I took advantage of Amazon's free mp3 credits and sale and purchased Adam Lambert's album, because I want to see that fabulous sparkly gay boy do well in the charts. Because honestly? I don't know how often I'd actually listen to the entire album. But my GOD, he's pretty. And straight out of Velvet Goldmine, bless. (I don't need to explain my fondness for eyeliner-bedecked boys who are heavy on the stage theatrics and spectacle, do I? Okay, just checking.)
(However, after I'm done listening to Glambert's album, I think I'm going to go back to Within Temptation. Or Sisters of Mercy. Or go on a MCR bender, I don't know.)

Wow, I want to be done editing this white paper I'm working on. It's ... not fun, that's for certain.

Today's outfit. I made the stripey skirt. The hat is from GypsyWitch designs (clicky-link!) (and oh! I want to eventually get another one in black and pink stripes!), and the necklace (that I should try to get a better photo of) is a music box pendant that is decorated with a large skull. And plays ever-so-slightly off-kilter, which I think is darling. (The necklace is from Bella Lili on Etsy, and yes, that was a clicky-link.)
( And behind this cut-tag, my latest embroidered bloomers project )

Those are my darling ladies kambriel and acid_poptart at the MOMA film benefit honoring Tim Burton. I am so, SO happy for them that they were able to be there!
Thank you for all the Bombast!/Symphonic Metal recommendations, peeps! I now have more Within Temptation on Renfield the iPod, and will be sure to check out the other bands you mentioned. Except Evanescence, because I already know that there is something about the vocalist's voice that makes me want to grind my teeth.
As I said to someone in the assorted comments, I really kind of live in a musical isolation chamber. I have the stuff that I listen to, and don't learn about anything else unless someone waves their hands and says "Jilli! You must listen to this!" Let me put it this way: I have been known to not only listen to the same playlist or band over and over for days, I have been known to listen to the same song on repeat for hours at an end, because my brain goes now is the time we listen to "Last Of The Famous International Playboys" and nothing else.
---See that very spiffy stripey blazer I'm wearing? Proof that the Infamous BlueJay is a rock star.

Thanks to one of my co-workers who kindly offered to take it for me. Please note, no top hat today!
Because of comments from certain people, I am contemplating taking up embroidery so I can adorn some of my bloomers with the phrase "crankypants". It would make me laugh and laugh and laugh.

stroppy_baggage, I'm kind of assuming that you don't like the ball fringe and would prefer that I didn't copy it.) What do you people think? If I don't copy the ball fringe, I would probably edge the scallops in narrow flat black lace. cleolinda's brilliant recaps (clicky-link!) of Breaking Dawn? They're fantastic.cleolinda's recaps, I want to experience the sheer wrong-headedness myself for the comedy value.)
