A Dedicated Follower of Fashion

So...back-dated much? I'm writing this from the future. In September, actually, which is when we unearthed these pictures! I realized I'd never posted about this little dress-up date. Well. I mentioned it but never posted pictures. So here are pictures, of us maybe kinda looking like sad drowned rats. WET.

(Or, In which I am still too much of a sewing failure to even finish a petticoat! I actually had it 90% sewn Thursday night - and then realized the pleats at the back were really, truly unacceptable! And I wasn't staying up any later to redo them! So, no petticoat! Maybe if I'm able to make Ft Fred...)

Friday evening I went to a dreadful club with one of my best friends for her birthday (let's try something new where no one's ever been! It sounds like fun! It wasn't); I only had one drink, but between staying out rather late and only getting about two hours' sleep because of Female Complaints, I very nearly decided to bag the Wentz event Saturday morning when my alarm went off at 7.15!

I was very glad I did go, though, because 1/ I like playing dress up (NO WAY), and 2/ I like getting to see friends even more! dragoneyes19, hiraimi, and I had a very enjoyable few hours together.

It was kind of an awful day, though, weather-wise. Wind, intermittent rain, and cold: I might have liked my cloak, and I definitely would have liked my mitts (even idiotically thumbless as they are)!

Robin's done a bit more of a write-up, with some pictures taken back at her apartment (please note my Very Smart new black straw hat in those pics!). Also please don't note my bizarrely considerably-longer-in-back petticoat...I realize now I may have originally made it to wear over a small rump? Or my scoliosis has gotten that much worse? I don't even know. Ew.

And yes, we're famous. That is, we made it into a local paper. (Clicky the photo for the link to the article)

And re: their caption: Uh...no, we're not the reenactors! Those are all the people you're not taking photos of in the background of that shot!

And for anybody who hasn't seen it yet, here's the only photo I believe we got of me at the Wentz candlelight tour! (taken by dragoneyes19


Needs moar mitts, I'm wearing that silly cap that I guess doesn't look as stupid as I thought it did - but look! A ghost! Hee.

Just to play catchup with a few things (not that many. We all know how much stuff I do!):

( The weekend: sewing, another stupid outfit, &tc. )
