I think I may be able to metabolize alcohol

Whoever recognizes the subject line gets 100 points for Griffindor.

--My sewing bee on Saturday went really, really well.  Two middle-aged ladies from the Regiment came over, plus one of them brought her thirteen-year-old son.  We all made a nice big party, in such a small apartment.  I cut out and pinned and started to sew the pieces of my chemise

I'm glad to hear that outside eyes liked your hat as well! Sounds like you're well on your way to having a lovely outfit.

Have fun at your zombie party. ;) (Have goths moved from vampires to zombies? I'm so out of the loop)

They couldn't get over it! I can't wait to take it to its first event. I'll have Dad snap a few photos so you can see how it looks with my other stuff.

Goths probably haven't deserted vampiredom, judging by last night. There were a few guys there who probably have lestat__15483 as their AIM names. I'm just glad that zombies are also embraced by gothdom. What we lose in glamour, we make up in, er, in, well, there has to be something. Smell, of course. Assertiveness, definitely.

Huzzah for Windle Poons!

(i.e., Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man.)

I'll simply tell them in a polite, straightforward way that I'm going to Zombie Prom Night, which is the reason I am covered in green flaky paint and wearing a pink strapless mini.

Yay.

Right, 100 points for your house of choice (Griffindor is just my ordinary default house, but I'm not biased).

I haven't done my zombie routine since Worldcon 2004. Everybody else brought elaborate hall costumes, and I was feeling left-out, so I just put on my most prim outfit, and then got a bottle of green clay facial mud mask from the drugstore and applied it to every available inch of skin. It was pretty gruesome. And the facial mud smelled like mint, so I was a nice-smelling zombie, too.

It was either the first or second Discworld novel I ever read.

You rock.

Fun!

That dress you described, the polonaise gown, sounded so pretty--I could just picture it.

I wish I'd snapped her picture. Anyhow, we still have to all play dress-up sometime!

I was like, "YES! A dance floor where I won't stick out as a dork, because everyone dances like me!" I think I'll fit in okay. I might even bring a glowy pompom.
