Brassy

Don't mind me. I'm wearing my Bitter Old Hag hat today. Also, a headache and some slight nausea. Blargh.

I didn't get to go to the talk last night. [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick was pretty jazzed about it and the hangings-out afterward, so I'm bummed I couldn't make it. I absolutely had to make something warmer for this weekend's belly dance costume, though. And of course you all know I never go halfway on a costume.


brass bra cups

I want to thank a few people for this particular ensemble. Reece (Reese?) Reed! at Talon Armory made the fucking awesome bra cups (Valkyrie auditions, here I come). [livejournal.com profile] shrijani did a wonderful job on the coins--she soldered a perfect little jump ring onto each one, and then treated them to a beautifully mottled patina. I love them. Third, [livejournal.com profile] solan_t let me borrow her fabulous serger (again) which made quicker work of the choli top. I owe her dinner (again). November, okay? Call me!

I have some more costuming to do tonight. I need a skirt that will pull together the brown top with black pants. Too bad I didn't buy a pair of these babies in brown when there was still time to get them shipped here for tomorrow. Blargh.

Whoa! That looks amazing.

Bling!

That looks amazing!

Thank you!

Wow.
That's stunning!

Thanks!

wow! And I'll get to watch it move tomorrow, too! Can't wait!

It's not going to be an easy bra to tip in, so be warned!

OMG gorgeous!

Yay for titties!

Those probably qualify as armour. they look good on you.

Thank you! He does amazing work. He made these for Sharon Kihara (http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/c/0/38/705/38705307_album_pic.jpg). I couldn't afford super fancy ones like that, though. *sigh*

[identity profile] cmt2779.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. You look like you could do some damage in those. :-)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Damage to someone's innocent purity, maybe. Mwa-ha-ha.

[identity profile] bestill.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Beautiful of course! Don't wear it out in a lightning storm!

[identity profile] grnvixen.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking she could polish them up and signal in small planes...........

[identity profile] bestill.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
and learn morse code . . .

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Y'all are giving my tits way more ability than they actually have.

[identity profile] bestill.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they seem to have super powers.

I'm just saying.

[identity profile] grnvixen.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, Xena the Next Generation. Kick Ass Sweetie!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! And my belt is brown leather! Whee!

[identity profile] rougewench.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Lovely work!

Yup!

[identity profile] apocalypticbob.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's exactly what I was thinking!

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That *did* turn out RAKKIN.!

[identity profile] solan-t.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Squeeeee!


And, November - check!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously, I am so thankful. It would've taken twice as long (at least!) with the normal machine. Stupid stretch fabrics!

I wouldn't mind making a second choli for back-up, if you don't need your serger back until next week.

[identity profile] solan-t.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have any sewing projects currently running, so go right ahead!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesomesauce. Thank you.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Are you going to make it out to KCRF before your departure?

[identity profile] royal-spice.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely!

We are absolutely positively coming out the weekend of Oct 3-4. Possibly other days randomly if you tell us there's something awesome to come out for. :) (Brass-covered boobies, while awesome, do not count for these purposes.) :D

*shrug*

I don't pay much attention to the weekly promotional stuff. Just be sure to see the Musical Blades and Bawdily Harm!

I am TOTALLY going to use your tits to apply my lipstick this weekend. Because....your brass cups....all about ME, baby!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I love you so much. For real.

[identity profile] nataliesee.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
MWAH!

His name is Reed, my love.
Reed.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Reed! Reed! Thank you! I knew something didn't sound right...

[identity profile] the-themiscyran.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks awesome! Verrrry pretty.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-29 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[identity profile] shrijani.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I am so glad you love them.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-29 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I love them so so so much. Really. They are PERFECT. I know you were worried about the discoloration, but I like the way they look now so much better than when they were all shiny and new looking.

[identity profile] annamatic.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! Beautiful! No way in hell I could wear one with my Extreme Knockers of Deathly Doom (38DDD), but I am in awe.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-09-29 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You really would qualify for Valkyrie!
