Holy Fuck, the Shopping...
So, I went to Pagan Brunch today. Picked up my Witches' Gathering ticket.
Whee!
Now to get that costume properly made.
Wah!
So, I went to value village.
But I didn't START at value village.
I started at St. Laurent Mall. Wherein I picked up the following:
non-latex gloves
nail clippers
hair dye ("black currant" - a burgundy from Garnier)
a new bra (burgundy, again)
5 pairs of undies[1] -- on the off chance that I'm ever in a situation where I need them -- possibly including nude-esque modeling for photos. I figure if I'm *technically* clothed, I could get away with doing this in, say, the arbouritum and, as such, within the confines of OC Transpo, thus allowing me the power to decide when it's time for me to go home.
This was followed by South Keys Mall. Wherein I picked up:
Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink by Midori (using the last of a GC for Chapters)
4 strands of dark green aventurine balls -- which will work way better than the green garnet for the necklace I'm making Miz Sara.
1 package little gold leaf and flower charms
1 package little gold butterfly charms
1 package silver screw-clasps
pine nuts
pistachio nuts
dried figs
dried pears
summer savoury
Then I went to value village. I got the following:
1 skirt to be used as the base for the many-layers-of-ruffles skirt for the Hallowe'en costume
1 velvet top to be butchered and turned into a shrug for said costume
1 black, cotton-lined, crinkle-cotton just-below-the-knee skirt for summer
1 black lace over beige stretchy fabric dress (that needs to be butchered and re-stitched into something that hits at mid-knee or so.
1 purple velvet stretchy dress that needs to be modified into a drop-waisted mini with a (possibly asymetrical) flaired skirt
1 midnight blue velvet stretchy dress that needs to be modified into a mini w/ a pleated/gathered skirt
YAY I have *dresses* again! Pretty ones (or ones that *will* be pretty) that I can wear out to clubs and shows and stuff! Woohoo! :-D
So, it's quarter to eight. I want to finish Sara's necklace (I'm going to make co-ordinating earrings with some of the gold butterflies, to go with it) before I head to bed, so off I go. :-)
- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)
P.S.: Will also be participating in Arndis' bulk body-suplies purchase.
P.S.S.: Have decided that it's probably not profitable to sell semi-precious bead jewelery at this juncture. Though I could be wrong. I figure, I can make stuff for friends and family and if I come up with extras, I can put them up on Etsy or something and see what happens. ;-)
- TTFN,
- Me. :-)
[1] Cause getting five was actually cheaper than getting two. Gete-rid-of-this-stock promotion. ;-)
