Gay cowboys! (& also A&E)

Right, so, the weekend was eventful.

( A&E )

( Deadwood, Ep 1-4 )

( Jarhead )

And now, I'm back at work. Admittedly, I turned up at around midday, slightly surprised to have made it in at all. My HR person is still fluttering around, trying to send me back to bed with antibiotics and weak tea, but I am Strong (tm), and shall resist the temptation. Plus, I am mighty sick of sleep and intend to actually qualify as a CPFA at some point in my life. 400 days of practical experience don't just accumulate like that *snaps fingers*, you know.

"5 Most Outrageous Outfits You've Ever Worn"

5. Red embroidered ballgown, with silver slippers, hair put up in ringlets, and a silk wrap. I think it was for the Bedlam Ball some time back, but I don't really remember. I remember being put into the bastard corset, though, as the ballgown was strapless! = double plus ungood for me!!

4. At Serenity Squared I wore a silk kimono top over low-slung silk shorts, with a silk scarf around my waist to suggest an obi.

3. A Torture Garden gathering some time back saw me in full Victoriana governess get-up, including the tightest corseted black shirt with severe high collar (but plunging neckline when it came to buttons!), huge full-length skirt with underskirts a-plenty, corset, hair scraped up, severe make-up, collar. Also probably Victoriana lace-ups, although I don't remember.

2. About three (?) years ago, I went to a Halloween party as Magenta from Rocky Horror: black fishnets, black stilettos, black ruffly skirt, black corset, black waistcoat with white lace edging to suggest a blouse underneath, and a white pinny. Also, black lace knickers. There is, unfortunately, some photographic evidence still floating around somewhere.

1. At the last Torture Garden gathering, I wore: fishnet stockings & garter belt, black Victoriana lace-up boots with a stiletto heel, the tiniest black A-line ruffly skirt known to man (with red ruffles as opposed to the traditional 'French maid' white ruffles), corset, white (transparent) peasant top with voluminous sleeves, black silk french knickers (with lace edging), a black leather asphyxiation collar, and my hair done up like Ragged Robin ringlets with all the pins and sparklies that I could find.
