Hive queen

[clevermanka]

Guess who is allergic to her new costume that she wore on opening day? THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE. Aw yeah. You know it, baby.



Either the metallic thread or the dye or the fabric itself caused giant itchy red hives on my back where the straps cross and across my low belly where the ties rubbed on my skin. Now I get to remake that costume with different ties. So that's awesome.

My throat feels a lot better, but I'm still coughing up stuff.

As you might imagine, dancing at Monday's Smoker was a little rough.

I am ready to sign up for my robot body now, please.

OH FANDOM. Related: Thranduil is being played by Lee Pace, someone I've wanted to see more of since The Fall. I'm pleased.

Holy crap, this move actually works? I thought it was just something they made up to make Natasha Romanoff look badass.

WITL photos from Sunday and Monday will go up as soon as I'm caught up on work stuff.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear that the costume hurt you. I noticed the redness and thought you'd maybe gone for a moxibustion treatment or something. In the eyes of a relatively uninformed observer, your discomfort did not seem to affect your performance. I hope the next few days are gentle for you.

I am so fascinated by the martial arts gif that I keep watching it on a loop. It's just so fast and amazing! That guy had no idea what hit him!

While I think you could actually hurt someone very badly with that move, I think he's helping out an awful lot. You can see he pushes off with his legs to help the throw....

Of course, if you did manage to get a grip on an opponent that way, and they DIDN'T follow you over, you would most probably break their neck....

We rented "War Horse" over the weekend. It was startling to see both Cumberbatch and Hiddleston in different characters!

OW OW OW. Those hives look horribly uncomfortable.
What a bummer.

Yah, that move? I find it fascinating as well.

Oops, forgot to start WITL.. so I'll get on that tonight, and be one day behind. :)

Ugh, sorry about the allergicness. SUCK. :/

*is mesmerised by gif*

Oh, ouch! Echoing another's comment - no one would have guessed you were uncomfortable based on your performance yesterday. While the rest of us were barely-functioning puddles of sweat, you appeared to be glowing and somehow skating above whatever horrible level of humidity that the rest of us were buried under.

The still coughing stuff up makes me hopeful that your lungs are just going "GERMS WTF GTFO". But hives are LAME.
