Girl, you looks like a real good time, the good lord knows you do

Tumblr is weird. This isn't exactly news to those of us on it, but...it's weird. One of my early collections was Military Fashion and I included this photoset of two pairs of boots. Pretty spiff boots, sure, but someone found and reblogged it yesterday and now it's the most popular of any of my original photoset posts so far. What is so great about this particular pair of pictures? I dunno. Tumblr is weird.

Today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, November 27: Purple.

Holy shit, it's November 27.

Today's Qwertee shirt would be so tempting if I was a bigger fan of the Dark Tower series. That is a gorgeous shirt. Wow.

I have a post in the works about stress and health--how there are so many sneaky things in our lives that our bodies register as stressful even though our brains might not; how sometimes even things that are fun are stressful; how things that make us feel good aren't always good for us and cause us (surprise!) stress. I'm finding some interesting (and discouraging) things. Watch this space.

Tumblr seems to have something of a lemmings mindset with certain things. Lots of numbers of likes/reblogs on a particular post? Gotta do it too!
Although those boots are cool, in and of themselves!

I like the new collection!

That photoset got well over 100 notes yesterday. So. Weird.

Glad you liked the purple set! I didn't want to do another color collection so soon after the Blue, but the next set (Girls with Guns) isn't quite ready yet. I'm hoping to put that one up next Tuesday.

It's odd; for some reason, I always like the lips that get thrown in....

And I'm now following OMG that dress, just because of you.

OMG That Dress is so good. Once in while they get on a kick of something I don't like (like their recent foray into hats), but 90% of the time it's All Gorgeous All The Time.

You saw my collection of lips (http://clevermanka.tumblr.com/day/2012/08/06), yes?

I HAD FORGOTTEN.

Whoo!

If I ever join Tumblr, it will be solely because of your shares from OMG That Dress.

You can always just bookmark their page and check it from time to time. You don't need a Tumblr account. It just makes it easier. To get sucked in. And spend all your time there.

You don't have to be a fan of the series to wear that. Heck, only fans will recognize it, and you'd have something to talk about. Heck, I'd wear it!

Gorgeous purples.

Yes, and then in talking about it, they'd realize I never finished the last book (not by choice--it was a bad time in my life) and they'd divest me of it.

Not so much with the good times, there.

I want those boots. NOW.

(but yes, Tumblr is weird that way.)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-11-27 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I tried so fucking hard to buy those boots (the green ones) when I found them. Nobody had them in my size, though. They were already at least two seasons old when I came across them, and the only places still selling them were clearance houses like 6pm (http://www.6pm.com/?gclid=CKDF1v-G8LMCFXGRPAodwREAZg).

[identity profile] alryssa.livejournal.com 2012-11-27 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
fffff. What's your shoe size? I actually have the largest feet of the women in my family; I'm at 8, 8 1/2 on this side of the pond at least.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-11-27 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
In US sizes I'm a 9 1/2 or 10. UK sizes, I'm a 7 and European sizes put me in a 41.

I've got pretty big feet. I like to think they just make me more stable in high heels.

I love the boots... perhaps people (like me) are blogging wish list items and those are popular?

I love the purples! That purple eye looks like a baby's eye. It's unnervingly interesting.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-11-27 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, good luck to them. See my comment above about trying to find those boots last year.

The purple eye is a variant of albinism.

I did not know that!

Love the Military collection!

Yah, I'm in the same boat. LOVE that sequence.

Yes, it's my Dad's birthday. Thinking of him.

Wish you could tell him happy birthday in person.
