Heart Shaped Hole
Guy Forsyth's show last night was (predictably) amazing and I don't at all regret feeling a bit tired this morning. Completely worth it, and I'd go again tonight if he was playing. There are few things I enjoy more than dancing to good music with good friends. I'm very happy to report that I'm not sore or achey at all, despite at least two hours of moving and shaking on the dance floor. This exercise stuff apparently works. Who knew?
During one of the songs, I got a flash of inspiration for a shrine piece. I've never done a shrine, but I've been wanting to for a while. We'll see how this goes. The song is "Heart Shaped Hole." I'll post results when it's finished, although that might not be until after Faire. Probably won't be until after Faire. Quite unlikely to be done until after Faire.
I started the bra base for a third costume on Sunday. It's inspired by Sarah Skinner's Cowrie Shell costume. I also have a nebulous idea for a brown velvet/olive green costume, based on some gorgeous three-inch mirrored trim I bought in Chicago years ago. I'm wondering if I should combine the two. I don't want my costume to scream COWRIE SHELL!!! as much as Sarah's. Hers is, I think, absolutely gorgeous, but I want a little more...funk? in mine.
Some sort of insect--mosquito? chigger? continues to nibble at me, somehow, despite my minimal exposure to the outdoors, and complete avoidance of walking on any surface that isn't paved. How is this happening? Right now I have a bite on the top of my left breast, under and to the right of my right breast, my left rib cage, my left hip, directly on my right hipbone, and one smack in the middle of my low abdomen, right below my panty line. In the past month, I've had bites on my lower back, two on my butt, one inside my belly button, and one on the thigh/groin crease on the left side exactly where the elastic of my panty leg sits. That one was especially fun. I'm worried that the scars from these aren't going to disappear by the time I don my dance costumes for Smoker (yes, I scar from mosquito bites--not pretty). Boo. And for sure they won't be gone if I keep getting new ones. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure there is anything to do. Not a happy situation.
This morning the scale said 146.6 but my pants are falling off of me. My lovely high-waist, wide-legged (lined!) linen pants that I made for the Italy trip now sit at my waist and their crotch is about two inches lower than mine. *sigh* I mean, yay, but *sigh*. Looks like I'll be making myself a new summer wardrobe next year. I'm crossing my fingers for no more loss upstairs if you know what I mean.
And finally, there's sexy, there's funny sexy, there's funny nerd sexy, and then there's what the fuck. (SFW)
UPDATE: Whoa-HO! Dr. Horrible fans--did you know there are tee shirts available? Oh...bummmer. Seems they're sold out of everything. Dang.
