Me, last night at a party with Cat [making faces because of all the drunkety drunks]. Love the "pannier" of my two bolster pillows from Ross safety pinned to my jeans underneath. Classy. I'm also wearing sneakers. laugh

So went out to Halloween party of an fx make-up artist friend I hadn't seen in a while. Feel the gulf widening ever more between me and Hollywood/film, including work friends. Don't quite know what to...car as it is! Here's last year's pic-- same as this year, minus a bunch of weight and my hair's not powdered this time [better 'hoops' shape, too]: My bust is about half that these days.. laugh

The first time I've EVER seen hats of that era...you don't care about Keira Knightley, you'll be bored out of your mind. And why are you reading this journal, anyhow? It's all about corsets. Maybe you would like it, then, you fancy lad, you.

...pretty good Lolita high for about a week now (Gee THANKS, Marie Antoinette) ...but if any fashion lifestyle were to "suit" me, it would be Lolita.  Particularly Sweet Lolita, with it's basis in Rococo era ideals and styles.  Why?  Because Lolita is all about decadence.  Decadent is the best word in the world to describe me.  Lazy, with urges to do only the things I like and nothing but - drawing...

How much of a demand is there for Rococo style clothing for men? More specifically, why haven’t I seen any men or girls in boystyle wearing tights? Tights were standard for hundreds of years until the Victorian era. Aristocrat takes more influence from Victorian than Rococo, but I’m surprised that I can’t think of any Kodona outfits with tights. (Please prove me wrong with that.) Despite my current...

I am so in awe of this book's concept & execution. I really want to buy it. I think I shall. Do you think I should? It's just so frank and hillarious.
