I think this is quite brilliant as a working definition - not perfect; there are, after all, homophobic women as well; but damn good and thought-provoking:

This truck is looking_spiffy's soulmate. :D (Too bad it's in Nashville!) The craigslist write-up is brilliant.

Something else that's perfect for most of my f-list: a silver Pashmina with a silkscreened vintage typewriter. If, like me, you can't wear Pashminas due to them being made of cashmere - or you just prefer the texture of silk! - the same vintage ( Read more... )

I have this fabric headband in what I think of as Caribbean colours - it's quite wide when the top portion is fully open, almost bandanna-like, which isn't such a good look on me so I fold it in half. And there's a turquoise bit right in the centre, and bright green bits over each ear, and a mélange of red, orange, yellow and purple through the ( Read more... )

Because a request was made to see my funky bright necklace. The colours of the beads are a bit off in places - the orange-y looking ones are actually yellow - but I tried!

This is still weird to me. Not that the sunset is pretty - that it's so *late*. At midsummer, we had a grand total of sixteen and a half hours of daylight. I actually had a nap after work one night and woke up around 8:30 and panicked that I was going to be late for work, because it seemed like it had to be morning, it was so bright out.

Because that is exactly what some of us need in order to wear leather riding gloves and sex toys as accessories.

So to make a proper post, since I see I haven't done so for a few days, I've been having fun and relaxing, too. Wandered round central London early in the week. My feet were not exactly thrilled about the extended hours of walking but I enjoyed it. I browsed and window-shopped and just generally took it all in (no photos, sorry). The weather has ( Read more... )

Today has felt long, in spite of being only 23 hours. I was apparently more buzzed than I thought when I went to bed last night because I completely failed to notice that the computer clock said 3:30 a.m. but my bedroom alarm clock said 2:30 a.m., ergo I set the alarm and got up fifteen minutes after we had planned to leave this morning. Oops. * ( Read more... )

I suppose the "big gift" - despite it technically being also *free* as it's an upgrade to the very old existing - is my new cell phone. :D It's beeyootiful and it takes pictures/videos and plays songs and has the tiniest memory card in existence that I shall worry about losing LOL. *wriggles excitedly* I already put all my phone numbers in it (I ( Read more... )

I give up. I cannot find a silver charm bracelet at all, never mind a child-sized one. The only bracelet I even found that had links delicate enough to accommodate the charms was a) kind of a funky style that would look very strange indeed when the clasp was closed on an inner link instead of the end bit (as it would be too large), and b) too ( Read more... )
