Lovely time at Brothel Night. We all seemed a bit low energy, but perhaps that was just me. Chess Match rehearsal was fine and it didn't rain on us on Sunday. Hurrah.

I have a bid on the dolls I'm selling on eBay. Hurrah! I need to get the other dolls listed, along with the fabric I'm selling. I'm selling the fabric because I've just got too damn much of it and I'm selling my remaining dolls because I just don't have a place to display them anymore (and haven't for years). I'm pleased to see that a Sasha like the one I'll be selling went for a good price. I don't have the box or the wrist band, so knock off some $$ there, but if I could get $100 for her, I'd be really happy.

Two more bodices cut yesterday. I still need fabric for one more chemise and pair of bloomers. The eyelet that I dyed did dye beautifully, but it's more of an orangey-red that, on reflection, will be a much better match for my new dance costume. So. Lucky me, I've got a $10 credit at Hancock's, so I hope to hop over there today and maybe find another nice paisley since we have the official OK on that.

The new bodice length is nice, but it's shorter, so all my boning is now too short. Argh. I'm hoping I can get some ordered in time for opening weekend because cutting down the ones I have is No Fun At All.

For everyone waiting for it, here's my recipe for Diablos in Bulk:

3 c Creme de Cassis

2 c Tequila

1/2 c Lime Juice
Keep measuring it out until you run out of something. Pour it in a pitcher and keep it in the fridge. When pouring, use 1 part liquor mix to 2 or 3 parts diet ginger ale. Normal (sugar) ginger ale will be too sweet and the drink will be more cough-syrup like and not quite so refreshing.

Oh, man, that sounds delicious.

It's lovely, yes. Last night it earned Official KC RenFest Whore Drink Status.

I don't know that I'd call it so much low energy as it was me keeping everything as business like as possible for much longer than I would have hoped.

But then hell, we're all busy as fuck trying to get ready for the show and moveing and dealing and just freaking breathing. Maybe we all needed a bit of quiet, safe space...

Although I don't know if you can call any evening quiet when angelbedwell is about.

Sounds good, going into my memories right now. Thanks!

Good for you on being able to sell off childhood toys. I've looked into doing that with my old Breyer Horses, but I'd really want them to go to kids that would play with them, or collectors that would display them as is. Apparently, there's an entire community of people that re-paint, and in some cases, boil and re-sculpt, old Breyers. It freaked me out just a tad.

Oh, and, mmmm, Diablos...

Yeah, wanting them to go to a good home was the main reason I wanted to sell them as a group. I figured anyone who wanted them bad enough to pay for all four was serious about liking that style of doll. =)

It's gonna be hard to not sell the Sashas as a group (http://www.chernobylred.com/ebay/sashas/sashagroup.jpg), but I know I wouldn't get enough as much money out of them if I did that.

Heh. Heheheheh. You said your boning was too short. You're too short on the bone. Your bone is short. Bone.

Heheheheh.

Alternately, one could say I am rather short on boning. Equal results, I think.

[professormass.livejournal.com]

I was, uh, kinda skipping that last one. I mean, besides being unnecessarily lascivious in intent towards your fine self, it's just mean.

Wait. I'm both lascivious towards your fine self and mean.

You're rather short on boning. *waggles eyebrows*
