...although, on the up note, I can actually afford at least some.

That said:  I have discovered the existence of certain relevant specialty sewing classes...and go figure, they're at the opposite end of the continent (and across a national border, but that's less of a concern than "at the opposite end of the continent," IMO).  Grrrr ( Read more... )

Someone found an NPC's dialogue with female characters in the pandaren starting area creepy, and complained about it.  I don't necessarily agree that it was creepy (just fatuous) but...fair enough ( Read more... )

They finally got around to me.  Took 'em long enough.  But whaddya know, the client is being a butt.  FML.

In other news, I've managed to find some VFFs-allegedly in my size-on the cheap.  Thank you, eBay.

Still need more T-shirts to work with.  And to talk to a local contract sewing business about my other fabric-related idea.

So I make a statement in regards to why I haven't been able to acquire a certain product.  The fact that it's kind of expensive is one of my reasons.  Another is that even if money were no object, there's no guarantee that there would be any available that would actually work for me.

These days, I keep finding accusations of "fan entitlement" amusing whenever I consider the source.  ( Here's why; rant beyond cut. )

I was re-visiting some of my old entries looking for something in particular, and ran across my old link to the Amazing Luxury Life (which might as well be called "Rich People Are Bizarre") blog.  And...I saw this.

All I can think is "That's counter-intuitive as hell."  The damn thing weighs fifteen and a half pounds.  Now, granted, that may not ( Read more... )

We've got a silhouette!

And....they seem to be going with the "Hollywood pudgy" route:  Although the angle could skew things a bit, she appears to be slightly plumper than dwarves (if proportioned somewhat similarly).

Cue a predictable chorus of fanbeasties either moaning that she's too fat...or crowing (after all, she's not the caricature ( Read more... )

I'm gonna slap a warning on this link-you know, what with that dipshit Bakhtanians making excuses for his inexcusable behavior, the sheer volume of willful ignorance and unexamined privilege in the discussion thread, and all that.  But I've got two words for ya:  Stay awesomeThat's all ( Read more... )
