So gotta get my fun times in now...

Busy weekend... family visiting soon...

The Starlet Maker

The Starlet Maker, from Amanda's Reading Room. All I could say was "yes please!"

That awkward moment when you see someone else with your avatar pic.

I mean, sure, I got it from Morgana, but I said so in my sig!

A chance to wear it... if only...

And now looking her up I find some of her dresses on sale. If only I could fit...

Ceil Chapman history

More on Ceil Chapman at Pinup Girl Style.

Another week, somehow survived...

Day dress...

Day dress, 1875

This was daywear. No big deal.

I'd love just one such day...

Ceil Chapman worked from the 40s to the 60s, and among other people she dressed Marilyn.

Sofia Boutella

... is very... limber.

She doesn't do that particular party trick in Star Trek Beyond, but... she can.

And now, the weather

SO HOT.

And in the uncomfortable stifling sweating way, not the fun "I'm so hot" way. I want to wear layers, darn it!

More scenes from a temporary TF

"You can keep crossing your arms, Eve," Diane smirked. "But if you want to squeeze your breasts together for extra cleavage it's your choice."

"If you want to walk like you've just had a rough session with the boyfriend, with your knees and legs wide apart, that's fine, too."

Hi WB ;)

I wish...

(First seen with Taylor Swift 'shopped on.)

Somehow made it through another week.

Current mood:

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer.

No thank you, reality.

Scenes from a temporary TF RP

When one is discovered by one's sister.

"How long has this been going on?"
"This is the first time. Only! Only time."
"Really now? This is not a first-time kinda dress. I mean, this took planning... fitted, Vera Wang..."
"See, I didn't know that. I mean, I was in it all night and... uh..."

Life

Looks like we have a female Prime Minister.

Be nice if that were a good thing.

I want everything about this.

Picture thanks to Jennifer Sometimes

Ghostbusters

The new female-fronted version of Ghostbusters is basically a remake of Ghostbusters. Only the jokes about the hunky idiot receptionist are really gendered. This is good, I think.

Elliquiy

I just hit my eighth Elliquiy anniversary this afternoon. Still going, thanks to some partners who've been around a long time and some who've joined more recently. We've even managed to get some RP threads to end properly!

It's been another long week... slip into something much less comfortable but more fun.

A dress waiting to be worn again...

“Petal” by Charles James, 1951
From the Arizona Costume Institute

Thanks to Jennifer S for the link!

Who is she?

I know who took her photo (Olena Zaskochenko) but not who she is...

... so obviously she's me.

(Thanks to Mistress Simone for the link!)

Properly dressed for the first time in over a week, and then just for a little while.

Yahoo Messenger

Apparently YIM, that old warhorse of chat programs that we tended to use as eGroups became Yahoo Groups, is to retire in a month's time. Thanks for all the good times! (Although it'll apparently still be around in browsers and apps.)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

Wish I had legs like some of the marchers...

Pride

Pride here.

No stopping for a policeman to propose to his boyfriend, but you can't have that every time. :)

This could be tricky...

Roleplaying being reluctant to look like this.

Thanks to WB for the chance!
