I actually thought of you and rgr when I saw/bought it. I thought, “They’d approve of this” and nodded.

Preliminary 'Snow White & The Huntsman' Thought:
“I hope someone adds Charlize Theron to TV Tropes’ LARGE HAM entry.”
Rest of thoughts to come in my review for TheVine.

A food truck labelled “EireTrea” just went past: Irish and Eritrean food. I am now quite confident that I have Seen It All.

One Last Thing
I find it hilarious that people whine about me online, and don’t think that either a) someone will handball it to me or b) I won’t see it myself.
Like, we’ve established that I’m an internet arsehole, it should be obvious that I keep tabs on what people are saying about me. (I’m a writer, of course you can see my ego from space.)
And yet… “Blah blah Clem...
japinney said: what actually did happen to stylistically diverse popular music? where did that interest go? i tend to blame idol shows as that’s when i can vaguely remember things changing… but i’m not convinced of my own assumptions.
Dredging this up from ancient history (i.e. the second page of my dash) to say… it’s a complicated issue, though I think the main culprit is the...
Thoughts About That Email
I don’t really care who sent it; since it’s clearly a fake Gmail account, it’s either one of my exes, one of the “wah wah Clem Bastow” set from Twitter, someone I’ve inadvertently spurned, or perhaps someone whose shithouse band I once reviewed poorly.
Why bother with the specifics, though?
“Murdered”? Good one guys. But you go ahead and let a dog...

Crisis In Infinite Uteruses
Went to take tonight’s pill and IT ISN’T THERE
Where did it go? It was in there yesterday? Did I already take it?
SERIOUSLY WHERE IS THURSDAY
'Don't You' just came on in the diner.
Whenever of I think of John Bender’s probable fate and that last freeze-frame I just want to cry.

I got it deadstock from Melbourne Skate Shop before it sadly closed down last year. However we did frequent the Pro back in the day - I think the first one was 1989 and we kept going through the ’90s, too (Wendy Botha signed my program!!). It’s a fucking awesome day out.

In other Daily Mail-related news, a sampling of terms of endearment used by DM commenters, on this story of a Chinese boy who suffered burns to his face, that made me cry this morning:
“Brave little chap”
“Poor wee son”
“Magical wee boy”
“Poor little chap”
“It seems the reality star is much more a fan of all-American dishes, such as...”
– Putting aside the fact that ice-cream is apparently an “all-American dish”, FOR FUCK’S SAKE DAILY MAIL YOU UTTER DROPKICKS, YOU CAN’T “MUNCH” AN ICE-CREAM

Sometimes,
even though I’m too Busy And Important (read: overworked and occasionally depressed) for a real relationship at the moment, I get this overwhelming sense that I will never meet someone who actually admires what I do and loves me and who I feel the same way about, and what’s striking about this sense is that the matter-of-factness of it overwhelms the sadness of it, which almost makes...
homerthompson said: HRRNG! Yes, thank you! I’ll give this a shot, seems a lot more sensible than ‘cast with latex.’
Yeah fuck latex, that would for sure end up at least as heavy as the lekku, another renowned migraine-inducer. Anything that’s going to press on your forehead and temples you want to keep as light as possible. Model Magic is godly, as our dear cosplaying friend Andrew...

homerthompson asked: I'm so sorry but I'm going to like throw questions at you about your Loki now D: What did you make the horns from (and how do you get them to stay on?) And how'd you do the bustier? The horns are confusing the shit out of me because everyone does it differently hrrnggg

EXCITING NEWS FOR BLONDE TIGER (and you!)
blondetiger:
I’m very thrilled to announce that Blonde Tiger is moving on up (cue The Jefferson’s theme song)!
As you all know, I’ve been working from my home studio (aka spare room filled with nail polish) for the last year. As my clientele has grown, I’ve been keeping an eye out for the perfect salon space to move into. Thanks to a series of fortunate events, I will soon be operating out of...

THANKS YOU
Fun fact: for the Dorothy Michaels costume, I bound my boobs, then wore inserts in a padded bra over the top, and packed my Spanx. SCREEN ACCURATE(ish)

sans-pants said: When I was six, Mum sewed me a cat costume and gave it to me for Christmas. I wore it every day and night for a fortnight (in a Brisbane summer). Costumes are the coolest things in the world. If I could sew I’d wear one every day. The End.
THIS IS THE BEST STORY, MARK
andmixwell asked: Re Coulson being in his 70s - I've only seen Avengers once, but am I completely imagining a line where Fury said something about actually being super old but S.H.I.E.L.D. having some really crazy drugs to help you age slower? I swear there was some implication of that sort. Plus, Clark Gregg doesn't actually age anyway.

My Costuming Tips That Nobody Asked For:
1. Where possible (i.e. if the costume dictates), use natural fabrics. Especially for anything remotely Medieval. Cotton, silk, linen, muslin, calico, sackcloth, wool. Your underarms/crotch will thank you at the end of the day.
2. Head straight to the upholstery department for any costume set either in outer space, an invented history, or before 1910. Dress fabrics in velvets, burnouts, brocades...
