& if I may, I'd like to wave hello & give lots of hugs to my new friend
::twirls around:: So! Today was the monthly SF Browncoats meetup, i.e, what I look forward to every month, so YAY! & a good time was had by all.
I'm currently looking on Etsy.com at all of the corsets & such for sale - I think I'm going to eventually buy myself a real corset, since I've wanted one for a while now. I just need to find one that fits & that I can kind of afford. Here are some of the ones I was looking at.
Blue satin corset with feathers - O THIS ONE IS SO PRETTY! It's very can-can dancer-esque & I love the shade of blue! & possibly, I could afford it.
Custom Civil War corset - this one is the one I may cave & get, because it's the most practical (eeeek, that awful word!) & because it reminds me of one I've seen Melora Creager of Rasputina in. (Melora's corsets are so pretty!) This one I could wear with my jeans or under a coat & the price is quite nice. My only quibble is that it's so plain looking! But I could be satisfied if I got it in black, I think.
Deep red silk embroidered Strumpet wearable art corset - I think I'm in love with this one! I WANT. BAD. If I wore that I don't think I'd feel ugly for a second!
Black floral corset - O my god. If I saved my money for a few weeks, I could easily buy this one! It is possibly the sexiest article of fashion I have ever seen & I seriously think I may buy it. It's so. beautiful. I think even I could pull it off!
Steel Boned Corset Grey Cotton w/Black PVC trim - This one I like, but I'm not too sure about - it looks a little too fetish-y for this girl! It is pretty though & the price is very reasonable for me, but I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable wearing it outside! ::giggles::
Plastic Boned Lavender Brocade Corset - This one is really nice & a very good price too! Though I'm not sure if it would fit me - it says it can be made for 32A-36C sizes & I'm, well, I'm a bit bigger than that, but I might be able to wriggle into it!
Sweet Corset - That is just the CUTEST thing ever! It's so sweet & adorable, it's almost Sweet Lolita-style, in a way.
White Corset - this one's simple, but I do like it.
Sparkle Corset - I like this one! It's sexy but not too over the top, I think.
& though this isn't a corset, I WANT IT ANYWAY OMG: Vintage black slip - okay, that would make a PERFECT dress. I don't know how it would look with wings though - I think it may look kind of silly, but maybe I'm wrong?
& this one's silly & cute & I thought

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.
I am SO down with that!
So, she picked these beauties out!
Keywords: daniel jackson ;; fuckfuckFUCK!
This is my icon for moments when I'm so pissed off I can barely speak. (YES, IT HAPPENS!) It's also one of my favourite Daniel scenes from one of my favourite episodes, namely One False Step - I ♥ watching Jack & Daniel bitch at each other! ::giggles::
Keywords: miscellaneous ;; kitty's rockin' out!
HEE! I love this icon - it's sort of an in-joke for me &
Keywords: miscellaneous ;; dangerous angels
This was made just for me by
Keywords: sam carter ;; samgasm!
Ah, I like this icon. It's the one I use in moments of extreme Sam-related flail. Isn't she pretty?
Keywords: lya ;; beautiful peace ;; spacefae
I ♥ this icon because I ♥ Lya so much. The Nox are one of my favourite alien races on SG-1 & Lya is just so pretty & peaceful & dreamy - she's true spacefae! I'm actually using this as my MSN icon right now. Lya♥♥♥♥
Keywords: radek zelenka ;; dorks can be heroes
THIS ICON IS SO TRUE. HEROES ARE NICE, BUT I'LL TAKE THE DORKS ANY DAY OF THE GIVEN WEEK, THANKYOUVERYMUCH. ::snuggles Radek::
Keywords: sam carter ;; writers are fired
FOR THE MOMENTS WHEN THE WRITERS ON ANY OF MY SHOWS FAIL BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSIBLE LEVELS.
& those were my icons!
I found out last night that Emilie Autumn's Opheliac - the double disc version & several of her other albums - are available on iTunes. Whee! Lucky for me I haven't spent all of my gift cards yet!
& now I think I'm going to return to corset/crinoline/tutulike skirt hunting, buy some music on iTunes, drool over that fucking beautiful goddess-worthy corset some more & maybe comment & read some Jack/Daniel! ::spins all around & makes little bubbly hearts a la Delirium::
& if I do get around to making my Daniel mix? This song will most likely be on it.

Date: 2007-10-15 07:09 am (UTC)1) this is the character Sugimura from the comic Battle Royale, and I love him so I whipped up an icon :) it can also serve as a determined icon...but mostly I just look at it and drool XD
2) from Spider-man 3! this is my "victory dance"/"I am so awesome" icon. X3 because everyone need one! and that scene made me laugh so hard.
3) Neville & Luna from Harry Potter...that's what people call the pairing (which is cute). I don't actually even ship them, but I wanted an icon of the two of them because they are awesome.
4) again from Spider-man 3 -- Peter Parker is threatening Eddie Brock, so this can function as an angry icon...or a scared one :)
5) from Battle Royale...I liked this image because it had my 3 favorite characters (the 3 on the left) and because of the entire implications of it, even if they make me sad X3 it's sort of a "nostalgia" icon.
6) HEROES! :D this is a "happy"/"excited"/"bff!!" icon. I love it, there is so much smiling going on~
7) a "disappointed"/"omg you suck dude! [sarcasm]" icon from fantastic four. I mostly just love the word "fantasti-suck" X3

Date: 2007-10-17 07:17 am (UTC)Apparently I get disturbed by the oddest things. ::giggles:: Though I did try & read the original book once - I looked at the first hundred pages, then skipped ahead to read a scene of one girl slashing open another girl's throat with a sickle & I didn't even bat an eyelash, but the first hundred pages apparently freaked me out. XD ::is odd::
& I TOTALLY SAID IT TODAY. Er, well, in my head, that is. BUT I STILL SAID IT. :P

Date: 2007-10-17 07:26 am (UTC)happens to me too! some kinds of violence in TV shows bugs me, but Battle Royale didn't face me in that regard...much. there were a couple of instances u_u;;
THAT TOTALLY COUNTS! more then I've done XD
no subject
Date: 2007-10-17 07:37 am (UTC)& isn't that just odd? I can take pretty much any & all Tarantino film - I LOVES THEM SO - but ask me to watch Saw or Hostel & I am out the door faster than you can pop 'em in! Horror violence = freakout for teh Betsy.
(& o man, do I want to KNOW what those instances are?)
HEE! Awww, Gabbie. ::hugs::

Date: 2007-10-17 07:49 am (UTC)I've only seen Kill Bill of Tarantino, I think -- loved them :) -- but I understand. I love gangster films and lord knows they're gory, but some horror films...yikes @_@;; though...I do love a lot of horror films X3 I'm obsessed with the movie Final Destination & I am a Stephen King nut.
(hahah probably not! it's a bit like, I can deal with violence...but some types of violence make me cringe o_o; didn't so much happen with Battle Royale, but a tad. *rambles*)
*HUGS* ♥

Date: 2007-10-17 08:01 am (UTC)& AAAA, Tarantino films = LOVE ON SO MANY BLEEDING & BULLET-SPRAYING LEVELS! :D I think you might like Reservoir Dogs - it's got a gangstery feel to it, at least to me. :D
Hee! I can only handle a few horror movies - gore isn't my thing, I go in for tales of the supernatural more. (ghosts=yay, slashers=nay)
(ah, thankyoukindly for sparing me then! The less bad dreams & visuals I have in my head at almost one in the morning, the better. XD)

Date: 2007-10-17 08:07 am (UTC)ooh, I'll check it out :D and yeah, I don't mind copious amounts of blood...and I don't necessarily mind organs. it's hard to explain what kind of violence bothers me! and I agree, mostly! I'd check out some Stephen King films if I were you, the majority of them are supernaturaly. oooh -- in fact, you should check out the later version (http://gabbie-is-uke.livejournal.com/102539.html#cutid1) of the Shining that was made. ghostalicious and not excessively gory.
*HUGSQUEEZE* eeeee~ ♥

Date: 2007-10-17 08:21 am (UTC)Yay! :D I'll need to find a place with wireless to download it - I'm on dial-up & HAI DIALUP, YOU BLOW WORSE THAN A DRUNK COKEWHORE - but it looks good! Yes, I definitely think you'll like Reservoir Dogs, tell me what you thought of it after you see it! :D
& my favourite Stephen King book has always been 'Salem's Lot - that book is LOVE. The movie? Eeek, not so much.
(wait, I COULD download big things on wireless/wi-fi, right? I assume you could - I NEED TO KNOW THIS SO I CAN GET MY HANDS ON SOME FARSCAPE SOON)
Thank you sweetpea! ::smooshes with LOOOOOOVE::

Date: 2007-10-17 08:25 am (UTC)Salem's Lot is great. eee I LOVE it. my favorite of his is I think "It", though the Stand is great too. I...well I like most of them, really! the movie of Salem's Lot was disappointing though.
(I do! it still takes a bit of time, but probably much faster then dial-up, although I don't have dial-up so I don't know D:)
♥♥♥♥ *showers with magical love beams*

Date: 2007-10-17 08:32 am (UTC)Ah, 'Salem's Lot. I actually sort of want to reread it now - it's somewhere in my room! & actually, it kind of reminds me of 30 Days of Night now that I think about it.
(OMG, YAY! ::explodes into a glitter rainbow:: Maybe I have hope of downloading big things yet! Thank god there's a Starbucks two blocks from my house with wi-fi! :D & CHERISH YOUR HIGH-SPEED, SRSLY. OR . . . OR I'LL EAT YOU. :P)
& with this, I am off to bed! I have to be up too early tomorrow & WHY IS IT ONE-THIRTY NOW? ::eyes spiral around in head:: BUT! We can always continue this wacky fun tomorrow! :D
::gives you a set of pretty wings & a wand o' SLASHTASTIC:: ILU GABBIE.

Date: 2007-10-17 08:37 am (UTC)yeah, so do I, LOL. I'm reading like 2 books already -- BOTH STEPHEN KING. I guess I will just have to polish my juggling skills.
(I CHERISH IT! Oh, I do...)
I don't know why it is 1:30! OR while I am still up...just goes to show I keep horrible hours :D I'm not even that tired. <3 as for continuing things, I'll be here!
ILU TOO. *waves wand around and hits boys with it* ♥
