ok, well, I just spent the last 9 hours farting around on my pages, once again reminding myself why I do NOT have a desk job. I'm only 31, but have the body of at least a 50 year old. (a really out of shape 50 year old, not like James Marsters, that man is way too... well, not frikkin 50! just his age, not his unfairly fit body. :P) I suffer from Fibromyalgia, so sitting or standing or anything like that for too long gets to me. But I think I have done fairly well so far, seeing as how I have NO computer skills, unless playing games on facebook, or stalking people on twitter count as skills. haha.
After I posted my Terrance Zdunich blurb I got up and wandered aimlessly around my micro basement suite, and did my usual set of exercise to the dark beats of the Repo! the Genetic Opera soundtrack, which I find motivates me nicely. <3 then I got the urge to post something, but since my brain has ultimately backfired on me, I'm just gonna ramble on about nothing at all here, and if anyone is reading this, then I guess I must have been at least a little successful. <3
In my Terrance blurb I mentioned I created a few things for my trip to the Devil's Carnival. I am quite proud of them to be shamelessly honest here.

I made my costume to look like Ludifer, as I think I mentioned, and he seemed impressed that i even had his horns made out of leather as the straps. the face was made out of really old white vinyl, painted with acrylics and nail polish. I used a pair of red stockings for my sleeves, too much tule to cover my "ample" bottom, a piece of scrap material to cover my sticky outy bits in the front, and for the first time in I don't even know how many years, wore a pair of spandex tights. Wasn't totally self concious about that part at all... Really... No... Well, ya, I kinda was. Ok. Alot. Which is why so much extra material for the covering of the self. I may have lost 60 pounds, (thank you Repo soundtrack, Ipod, and random walks.) but I still have a long way to go before I'm pleased with how I look. Getting there tho. <3
The purse I made is quite a point of pride atm. It was tweeted from the theatre during the Carnival, onto the Devil's Carnival twitter page. (ahem. Go me.) and even Emilie Autumn herself seemed to have loved it. (she played the Painted Doll, who I painted inside the tent flap, along with the Fool, Mighty Mike Murga) it had a tiny string of lights around it that really light up (thank you mom, for the donation of those) was made of plastic canvas and an old t shirt. lol. I was originally going to give it to them, (anyone on the travelling team) but decided I needed a way to get my stuff home, and frankly, I didn't want anyone seeing the atrocious stitching job I did in my rush to complete it. haha.
The little Frog hair clip I made, and gave to Carlee Baker, the emcee for the tour. It actually went perfectly with her outfit, was matching colors and everything. lol. So I'm glad she liked it, and hope she decides to wear it now and then. <3
The Scorpion hair clip to match the Frog. <3 I have to be honest I have no idea who ended up with this, I think the lovely girl with the mowhawk took it, (she seemed the most entertained by it. lol) I made them both out of sculpey, time, and patience. haha. The Devil's Carnival is based on three of Aesop's fables, and the only one I felt able to represent with art was the scorpion and the frog. I'll talk more about the movie itself when I get my copy.
This ring never even made it to the show. It fell out of my tent and rolled under the couch before the very long trip to see Lucifer and friends. It's sculpey as well, painted to look like the target from the song sung by the Scorpion to the Frog. I had made a little Frog woman to go on it, but she broke. :(
And here's a crappy pic of the necklace I made for Terrance, which he put on his blog. :D mostly made out of Premo sculpey, acrylic paints, and I made a chain for it out of jump rings. (the same rings used in chain mail) if I had more time to make the chain I would have done it fancy chain mail style, but alas, no, I didn't have the time. He did seem happy with it tho. I even got a "holy shit it's me! I didn't realise I looked so.. evil!" which of course, made my year complete. <3
Well, I think I'm gonna take a break now, before my spine decides IT'S gonna break. But I'll be back with more content, randomness, and perhaps a finished movie review. (can't help it, I wrote a LONG review on my other computer, and can't seem to get the dang thing to transfer over like a nice article) But it's coming! luv'n'stuff my friendly friends!
