[16 Apr 2009|11:47pm] |
My corset i bought from Alter-Ego Erotics came today and it is great! I was surprised at how good the quality is, even though it is not custom. I am looking forward to when they have the other one I want back in stock in my size..... and they have a lovely green one as well. I had heard good things about this retailer and her products and I am pleased say it was true. huzzah!

| Dress! |
[08 Apr 2009|06:11pm] |
The dress has arrived and it is even better than expected! The fabric is quality, the cut is great! I think I need a crinoline to go underneath, as it looks really cute puffed out. I am also going to stitch the top pleats together a bit to keep them from going all cattiwumpus, as is their wont. I want a more polished look.
SO PLEASED!
I also made myself a skirt today (McCalls 5431). I cut it out the other night, and it took about 2.5 hours to sew it up today. I think it would make a cute ren faire peasant skirt if I add a longer border, I am undecided on it. it's long. and full. I think a plainer fabric than what I choose would have worked better, but I really liked this pattern... maybe i will post photos soon.

| A dress is found? |
[31 Mar 2009|03:03pm] |
I found this dress and I think I am going to get it for Aric's wedding in May.
What do you think?
Probably a little more pin up than I would be rocking...
On Dita:
Here it is on a dress form:

| A little madness in the Spring.... |

A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!

| Because they were very delicious cheesecakes. |
[19 Mar 2009|01:47pm] |
I made my first cheesecake last night! It turned out awesome! I have made it to bring into work tomorrow to celebrate the Spring Equinox. It is a Chocolate Guinness Cheesecake with a handmade hazelnut chocolate crust. OMG it is so good. I stare at it and drool.
and i want to sing the Cheesecake Truck song at it.....

| New York City Accommodations? |
[09 Mar 2009|03:00pm] |
So I am off to NYC in early May and I'd love some suggestions for where to stay from thurs-sat. Sunday I will be shacking up at the hotel in Queens where Aris'c wedding is.
Someone mentioned The Pod Hotel, which looks cute, but a little pricey- not toooo bad for NYC though.
Ideas? :) Thanks!

An Arundel Tomb
Side by side, their faces blurred,
The earl and countess lie in stone,
Their proper habits vaguely shown
As jointed armour, stiffened pleat,
And that faint hint of the absurd -
The little dogs under their feet.
Such plainness of the pre-baroque
Hardly involves the eye, until
It meets his left-hand gauntlet, still
Clasped empty in the other; and
One sees, with a sharp tender shock,
His hand withdrawn, holding her hand.
They would not think to lie so long.
Such faithfulness in effigy
Was just a detail friends would see:
A sculptor's sweet commissioned grace
Thrown off in helping to prolong
The Latin names around the base.
They would not guess how early in
Their supine stationary voyage
The air would change to soundless damage,
Turn the old tenantry away;
How soon succeeding eyes begin
To look, not read. Rigidly, they
Persisted, linked, through lengths and breadths
Of time. Snow fell, undated. Light
Each summer thronged the glass. A bright
Litter of birdcalls strewed the same
Bone-riddled ground. And up the paths
The endless altered people came,
Washing at their identity.
Now, helpless in the hollow of
An unarmorial age, a trough
Of smoke in slow suspended skeins
Above their scrap of history,
Only an attitude remains:
Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.
