countdown to costume-con!

May 03, 2016 05:56

Costume Con is this week! The 1870 day dress is almost done but for a few finishing touches, and the 1870 ball dress should hopefully be done just in time! Building a new era of dress from the ground up, including all the underpinnings, took a lot of time, and consequently I have nothing else new to wear during the day on Sunday. I'm wondering now ( Read more... )

That's a beautiful dress! :D I hope you have a great time at Costume Con and get lots of costume compliments.

Should I watch Grantchester? I like mysteries and human trainwrecks. How depressing is it?

Thank you! :)

Grantchester is a sturdy, well-made British period mystery series, so it's definitely watchable for anyone who enjoys that milieu to begin with, but there's a lot of slightly pointless angst. Sidney Chambers is your typical 'sexy but troubled' brooding leading man type, and much of it stems from his own inexplicable inability to tell his sorta-girlfriend that he loves her, and her same inexplicable inability to do the same, even though they're both crazy about each other. They have zero obstacles keeping them apart when it starts, mind you, but for absolutely no reason I can fathom, they spend all their time creating obstacles for their romance. The show is about half 'Sidney tagging along on murder investigations', and half 'Sidney making poor life choices and feeling sorry for himself about it'. :p ( ... )
