New friends, new crushes, new bodices
Due to headaches and stories about stupidity too funny to mar with other information, I haven't yet mentioned that I finally got to meet the fabulous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
medousamedea over the weekend. I don't think I need to tell you how it warmed this old fag hag's heart to see charming, attractive, and gregarious gay boys still inhabit the area. It was bliss. Bliss! I tell you. Thanks a million, shrijani for the introduction. I so owe you.
In other news, I'm kind of developing an internet crush onshanmonster. She just seems so cool! I'd love to take some bellydance lessons from her. Get this: geek gamer girl, funky fusion bellydancer, currently furthering her physical abilities and training by taking pole dance lessions. Seriously, people. What's not to love there? And she's in the Toronto vicinity, so it's not like I don't know anyone else in the area...oh, temptations temptations. I think that'll have to wait until after the Italy trip, though. Well, you know, and at some point I should probably introduce myself and ask if she'd be interested in having me drop in on a couple of her classes. Me? Ahead of myself? Never.
Finally (or at least the final point of this entry), it looks like the RenFest whores have been asked to be on a float (gods please let it be a float and not walking) in the KC St. Pat's Parade. Never one to turn down a costuming opportunity, I leapt on the chance for a new costume that most likely I will wear once, unless we do the parade again. Yes, that's why I needed my bodice pattern. I got the entire bodice together last night (stayed up a bit too late but oh well) and now just have to whipstitch the bottom closed. I made the bodice a wee bit too small because since we're not subject to the standards of KCRF costuming rules, I want to have the front laced but open with the chemise peeking through all down the front, sans modesty panel. I like that look--it gives an extra bit of sluttish oomph that I find quite fetching, but is, alas, verboten at faire. (Yes,rougewench, I completely understand why.) Tonight: Skirt! I will use one of my current chemises and I think I can use my current gold bloomers--we'll see how they look with the green skirt and gold petticoat.
