riverdresses: (amanda tapping ;; salute the sexy!)
[livejournal.com profile] alli_everyday I GOT YOUR PACKAGE! ::squeals & launches self at you for a great big hugging:: Thank you so so much for all of the lovely things you sent me - STICKERS! & lipgloss & pretty pens & everything else! ::huggles:: Thank you sweetpea!

& if I may, I'd like to wave hello & give lots of hugs to my new friend [livejournal.com profile] spacemonkeyluvn, who made quite a few of the pretty Daniel icons I'm using, including the 'Pie?' one, which I ♥! Hey there sweetie! ::hugs & give YOU pie::

::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. [livejournal.com profile] elite brought by lots of awesome things she was selling, including my new green wings & my pretty Chinese character stamps! I ♥♥♥♥ my new wings - they're big & green & they get glitter EVERYWHERE. They're definitely my new special occasion wings! ::flutters&flaps:: Anyway, I had a fabulous time as usual, met a few new people (wheeeeee new Browncoats!) & um, I think that's about it. ::giggles::

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 [livejournal.com profile] lost_little_nat would like it: Ice Cream Bustier Corset - a corset/bustier made from ice cream print fabric! How cute is that?! I wouldn't wear it, but awwww, it really is the cutest thing ever!

& [livejournal.com profile] elite, I think you may like this! When I saw it, I immediately thought of you! (& OMG, how much do I love everything in that shop?!)

& HUZZAH, Ashley ([livejournal.com profile] paw_tracks) let me play the Icon Meme game!

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!

yay for livejournal 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.
riverdresses: (cinnamoroll // fun time!)
Squeal! I went to my first meet-up with the San Francisco Browncoats today! I had SO MUCH FUN! Yes, I was still my shy little bunnygirl self & didn't talk much for the first hour or so, but then I started talking more & lots of really cool people talked to me & one of them even recognized me from the Can't Stop The Serenity screening! ::squees::

So yeah, pretty much the best three to four hours of my summer, so far. We talked about EVERYTHING - comics, politics (though I didn't talk so much then - I listened because I know nothing about politics), TONS of cons, Harry Potter, how much canon nazis fucking suck (& YAY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE DRIVEN CRAZY BY HARRY POTTER CANON NAZIS!) Battlestar Galactica/Doctor Who/Torchwood/a little Stargate Atlantis, which yours truly mentioned, cinema, X-Men, & of course, lots of Firefly/Buffy/Browncoat related awesomeness!

O, man, GREAT TIME. I can't wait til next month! ::bounces:: & I may get to meet up with some of those awesome folks in El Cerrito at the Firefly night on Thursday, if I can get Mother to come with me & not think we'll get killed by chainsaw-wielding maniacs.

::squeals:: Seriously guys, call me a loser or whatever you want, but I DON'T CARE. HANGING OUT WITH BROWNCOATS IS AWESOME. ::does some sort of freaky happy!dance::

------------

Okay, before I start fandom rambles, I'm going to plug the Simon Tam kissing meme! (YES I NEED TO PARTICIPATE)

& also, I keep forgetting to do this, but I wanted to let the flist know that I DO have AIM reinstalled on River again - I'm riverdresses if you want to add me!

Okay then! So, I'm working steadily on my Mal/Simon mixtapethingish, & I actually have a fair number of songs to put in it! The only trouble is giving it a TITLE. ::pulls at her overlong bangs:: I mean, seriously, there is NO idea for a title & that is bugging me all to hell! I should have a title so I can make the list in my iTunes, but aaaaah, I do not.

I thought of calling it the water in my lungs, after this REALLY awesome banner that [livejournal.com profile] wildannuette has in her userinfo, & I may do that for now, since it DOES appeal to me. I also thought of The Darker Days of Me & Him, after the PJ Harvey song, My Medicine after a song from the movie version of Nana, & [livejournal.com profile] lost_little_nat suggested Wicked Game two nights ago on MSN. All workable with these two, yes! But I STILL don't know!

& no, I WON'T poll you guys this time around, since I think you'll all kill me if I DO, but I AM going to share some Mal/Simon over at my community, so I'll poll everyone there. But feel free to say something in a comment, or whatnot.

But off the topic of Mal/Simon mixes, I AM planning a Kaylee mix! I even have the title - Miss Spring - & I just need to decide how long it's going to be & start collecting songs!

& ouch, I burned my damn thumb on my lighter while lighting incense. Ouch, it hurts. ::pouts::

Okay, going to stop being lazy & share the Mal/Simon & think up stuff for other fics & mixes.

& I want to say that I've fallen in utter aural love with my copy of the Firefly soundtrack that [livejournal.com profile] alli_everyday sent me - I listened to some of it last night & it is just SO beautiful. I'll upload some of my favourites for you all in a few days!

EDIT: Yay, my Mal/Simon is up, along with my poll! Wheefic!

Title: a bliss of another kind
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Mal/Simon
Disclaimer: All Joss's toys, I'm just playing with them for a bit!
Notes: This was actually, if I remember right, my first real attempt at Firefly fic, as well as my first attempt at Mal/Simon porn. It was originally born as comment fic for one of my resident enablers galpals [livejournal.com profile] inderpal, who was also the one who encouraged me to share it, so really, you have her to thank for this! Beta-read by [livejournal.com profile] geeky_webmaster & the title is from the Tori Amos song Bliss, which, strangely, could work for these two. True story!
