blathering
May. 24th, 2007 03:28 pm:pokes playlist:
Well, in the space of one hour we've had traditional mongolian, 1930s german acapella, musicals, 50s swing, Cole Porter, Dixie Chicks, Noel Coward, the Jungle Book, and due to having the Any Dream Will Do mp3s, some really cheesy pop songs. Eclectic? nah.
Bought cloth in soho yesterday, need to get skirt done hopefully by end of friday night, buy the wig, there's a small baby doll in the corner of one armchair freaking the flatmates out due to it being a) a baby doll and b) having sideburns.
Fingers crossed for the hawaiian cloth arriving tomorrow or tuesday, because wednesday will be cutting it horribly fine. I mean, it's technically possible to cut, sew and pin an entire robe in an evening as well as packing, but... :squeak:
Also came back from soho with cherries and grapes, cue when I offered to them to Iain at work, he also requested a chaise longue and girls in small tunics to feed them to him. :snerk: Need to bully Sean into doing another toga night, he hasn't done one for years.
Spent last night fulfilling both girly sides of me : reading through girl-wonder blogs and associated links on misogyny and the comics industry whilst watching Ugly Betty and Miss Match. :happy sigh: ...And on the issue of 'why the hell do so many female superheroes wear skirts, plus, hello, flying?' I still say the best response to this was the Supergirl/Batgirl one-shot Elseworld : 'Flying down over them in a *dress*, Lex? That's not the kind of image I want to leave them with...' Also, for the people who still read comics regularly : are there any *male* superheroes that regularly get objectified and held up as viewers' eye candy aside from Dick Grayson?
...scary little emails at work. Er. You know how it's a normal over-and-above health and safety thing that you should be wearing shoes of some sort in most offices (covered toes and heels if you work in shops and places you're likely to drop heavy things on them)? Yours truly tends to revert to bare feet when
wearing sandals if indoors. Hence me walking around barefoot. Boss has a habit of making harrumping noises and telling me to put my sandals on. This morning I got an email that just said 'I hear bare feet' after I'd been to the kitchen. Scared Now.
