& 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: 2007-10-14 09:04 am (UTC)1- This is my I'm-Sorry-(But-Not-Really) icon. I remember watching this scene (I think it was One False Step?) and thinking that it was like some kind of awkward sex talk or I'm Pregnant talk. Though when I watched, it was Daniel who was pregnant.
2- My We're-Not-Dating-But-We-So-Could-Be icon. That, or They're-Not-Dating-But-So-Could-Be. And can you imagine how hot Amanda/Claudia would be? It would be like Sam/Vala, but more real! Sex tape!
3- Who else can sleep under a weapon of mass destruction with a book? Only Daniel can. This is the icon I use when everything around me is falling to bits, but I'm okay with it.
4. I wish I could remember who made this one. They made a whole set- Slytherins do it with Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors do it with Gryffindors, there were heaps. I probably have them on my PC, but I still don't know who made them. Anyway, I use this as my Hermione/Luna or Pavarti/Padma icon.
5- Sleepy Daniel, or really, knocked-out Daniel. I use this as my If-I-Don't-Go-To-Bed-Right-Now-I'm-Going-To-Die icon.
6- I fell in love with this the first time I saw it, back last year some time. I was going for my final Drama exam, a practical, and I was playing Alice in this exact scene. It's from a magazine shoot, and I don't use much anymore, but I still find it beauitful.
7- AHAHAHA I love this scene. From 200, when Sam, Jack, Daniel, Cameron, Teal'C and, of course, Vala, go fishing at Jack's cabin. I love Vala's expression, and I wish she had said IMMA GOIN FISHIN!!11! but unfortunately that was not to be.

Date: 2007-10-14 09:21 am (UTC)& aren't they all amazing? If I could, I'd possibly buy them all!
& YES, YOU MUST PLAY! :D
MAN, your icons are all made of win! Even the ones from fandoms I don't know! :D

Date: 2007-10-14 09:26 am (UTC)::FLAILS ALL OVER YOUR CARPET:: I would PAY to read Amanda/Claudia! That is just DRIPPING with hotness! :D
& I ♥ number four - hottest icon EVER! & number five ain't bad either. ::winks & curls up beside Daniel:: I ♥ all of your icons! So pretty! & lots of lovely girls to look at! :D

Date: 2007-10-14 09:46 am (UTC)2. Jack and Daniel are my OTP of OTPs and I just can't see them with anybody else - I'm very selfish/territorial with my OTPs ;) But mostly I just love their faces. Haven't actually used it in a while. It's just so hard for me to clean out my icons. I want new, shiny ones, but I still love the old <3 <3
3. Sometimes it's just one of those days where it feels like zombies are eating your brains (I call them Mondays). Or is that just me? Poor Walter <3
4. I'm not sure I can explain that one XD I saw a picture of those squirrels (? I know they're a rodent of some sort - I love rodents) and thought that they had about as much personal space between them as Jack and Daniel. The funny thing is that the roles of Jack and Daniel can be played by either squirrel. If the one on the bottom is Jack, Daniel is going on about 'rocks' or myths or whatever. If Daniel is on the bottom, Jack is in Daniel's office and playing with valuable artifacts while he's trying to work. I use it when I'm really feeling the J/D love <3
5. I'm Irish (descent, I was born in SF). I love stereotypes - I think most of them are actually funny. If you take them too seriously, that's when bad things happen. It's also a quote from The Black Donnellys, which unfortunately didn't last very long. I haven't actually used it in a while, but it makes me happy and I haven't had the heart to switch it out yet.
6. Doctor Who is a fun fandom. That's Rose and if I remember correctly, she's possessed by Cassandra who is a stretched out piece of skin so she's amused by those things sticking out of Rose's chest ^_^ I use it when my brain power is low and simple things amuse me. Boobies!
7. That's Martha Jones, also from Doctor Who. She's impressed (again, if I remember correctly) because she now gets a signal on her cell phone from anywhere and anywhen in the universe. Oh time-travel, how I love you so. I use it when I see something shiny.
