Permission to post!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, by Decree of the Polarbeast, I invite all of the gothic and darker lolita persuasion to
The Deadlounge!
Yes, goths! Revel in the atmosphere! Zombiephiles! You will love our scenic graveyard tours, complete with 2x4 gifts and shotgun raffle. Gothic Lolitas? The romantic goth persuasion brought about by some of our lovely members like Lord Boron will be enough to woo you.

No topic is sacred! All are welcome, 13 and above, as per forum rules.

Tell 'em PMOYS sent you!

Ignore me unless you are a /rin/ project member or supporter

2009-09-22T02:46:15Z

This is for the /rin/ project funds. It's simpler for us all to donate and have it placed in a savings account with high interest. I will bring this card to conventions we attend and such.

NOBODY OTHER THAN KEVIN AND ERIN HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO DONATE.
In fact, I will return the money to anyone else who donates unless they IM me with legitimate reasons first, cause nobody knows about this project, so how can you say you'd support it? yeah?

Let's play the "should I go to work?" game

2009-09-05T23:22:11Z

1) I have a giant zit the size of a quarter (not so bad)
2) I've been having a runny nose all week (still not so bad)
3) my lymph nodes are swollen and rock solid, my throat is incredibly sore and it hurts to swallow (right side only)
4) I was told 4 times today that I looked awful
5) I've been nauseous on and off for 3 days
6) (final straw) I cried cause I couldn't drink water without my throat hurting (right side only)

Problem: It's labor day weekend. This is not an emergency, so I can't go to the Emergency Room. I don't know what to do except drink orange juice, have some broth, and sleep my life away.

*sob*

Lolita Valentines.

Memes do work. Now I feel Lazy for not doing that one.

A) Kai, thanks! <3
B) Ohhh someone else is a font-whore (ILU). *flail* I'm glad my family amuses you.

What do you think?

2009-08-20T14:41:00Z

Of me? Do I represent myself well? Do I need to work on how I dress?
How does cyberspace show me to you?
:3
Any opinion is welcome.

Oh Battler, that's not what happened....

Gaap, one of the 72 demons, apparently has interest in fashion that reminds me of... something...
Angelic Pretty ~ Devilish Pretty?

Alice and the Graveyard ~ Alice and the Pirates?

I hope Gaap keeps amusing me with pseudo-loli.

Umineko Opening (with some scenes from later?)

2009-07-20T05:12:20Z

I HATE memory

2009-07-03T22:08:26Z

My mom was supposed to bring my car up. My grandma was there as an extra driver, even. But they all crammed into one car, and now mine is still elsewhere.
Biggest problem? Well, how the fuck am I getting to otakon now? So I contacted Carla and had to cancel everthing. FML. I finally get to go to a fucking convention and something goes wrong. I don't have enough money for transport. (what about gas money? Well... I didn't have that figured out.) I was gonna just go and not buy anything down there. Live off snack bars or something.
My ticket is non-refundable. I wonder if I could transfer it to someone else. Get my money back. Idk. T_T
I hate the world right now. I am an aggravated con virgin who just had to cancel her equivalent of a craigslist cherry popper date.

KAI, CAN WE HAS THERAPY WEEKEND ON 17-19TH? I AM ALREADY OFF WORK. WE CAN DOWNTOWN. T_T

Or... yanno, I could work.

Ugh.

today's to-do is

laundry (getting accomplished! oddly enough)
wash bathroom floors
vacuum
organize desk
go through desk boxes
work on elly's underskirt

The problem is that it's already 6pm, but my D&D session was cancelled. Up all night, yo.
I AM GOING TO SCRUB THE HELL OUT OF THAT FLOOOOOOORRRRRRR.

Icon Meme!

2009-07-02T13:57:12Z

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

From emmyette :

Little Gun Girl
I actually hijacked this icon without permission, but it belongs to probertson , who does a bunch of fun pixel people including the neverending zombie.gif :3 I like the contrast of cute and sweet with death and bullets. I haven't asked but I know it's the policy of a lot of contemporary artists in any medium to accept free pimping when they're able. Plus I've seen the baby-eater icon being used continuously without permission, so this little gal shouldn't be a big deal either.

Pale Face
This was inspired by some snark on a wedding snark comm. OMG AN ICON HAS BLOOD IN IT! ON A FINGER! IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART! and so I made this and said "eh, i've seen creepier". Of course, Pale Face (the childeater) is from Pan's Labyrinth.

Do Not Shoot At Yourself
This was made by t3h_janitor_jim and came out of a pamphlet for an airsoft gun, I believe. It's just ironic, and it's a fun way to say "shutup" or "do you want a shovel for that hole you're digging?". Nobody ever gets it though.

Kitteh Angry
Well, I had no pictures of kittyloaf at the time, and he just looked so pissed off in this one. Plus my bangs were awesome. Look at that. LOOK. Yeah those are some friggin sexy bangs.

Victorian
A generic steal from fluidic_icons when I wanted to be active in the vie_quaintrelle comm. I think I'm more of a crafter than a victorian person though, soooooooo. It's been out of use for a while.

i has a doctor
The very first episode of Dr. Who i'd ever seen. The kittens were so cute. I just love cuddly fluff balls. I've seen a girl on the com with better font and something else on the kitty, but this one I believe is from mcity and is being used with permission.

(i feel bad! I really want to explain them all!)

Similar Riffs?

2009-06-29T21:07:47Z

Aside from that, I guess that makes two songs for the day?

I have no idea why I remembered the Def Tech song after a while.

adium is being a butt

2009-06-26T22:30:55Z

I won't be online for chat for a while. our server got reconfigured and adium is refusing to accept the port numbers for the chat services.
Soooo I'll be sewing! (shouldn't I be doing that anyway? one would think...)

Otakon Room

2009-06-25T17:04:26Z

I'm advertising this for a friend:

I have a room in Linthicum where we can park and take the Light rail directly to the con! It's only about 15 min away max.

We are in a room with 2 double beds and we already have 2 girls. But we can use 2 more for the other bed or 4 more if you don't mind sharing the floor with a friend :)

Crazy drunken party girls/girls who don't like to sleep/girls who will ruin our good time need not apply.

If we get 2 more girls, it will be $77 per person and if we get 4 more girls, it will be $51 per person.

The room is reserved for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

If you would like to inquire please facebook me :)

Look forward to meeting you!

-Morgan aka Hotaru

I will not be staying in this room.
I will be frilling it up with kisei_prophet and other lolitas.

Pittsblargh is awesome. Sorta

Yeah... Lolita's Boutique~ Exoticwear ... well... *facepalm*

Crud

2009-06-21T17:09:22Z

I got an interview at some italian place, which is cool, but it's in Oakland... and I'm in Crafton, so it means the commute hits the icky traffic on the highway. :/
also, I will be back at 5pm! I am turning the computer off so I can sew. :3
Ok ok, just the monitor.
My aim will still say available, but I need to not get distracted. I am still available for commissions and should have everything done by the 10th of next month or sooner. :3
I also would like to get a name change token. Maybe later.

Rika Lolita by ~takemeinyourarms on deviant ART

Rika is from a series called Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. This series is noted for violence and creepiness, and added shock value because of the cute and innocent way the characters are drawn.
This Rika is inspired by the Watanagashi festival (cotton drifting festival) where persons imbue cotton fluffs from old mattresses and such with the negative energy and bad things that have happened over the years and allow them tro drift away in the river.
It's hard to make Miko look lolita. T_T I could have gone the normal route and depicted her this way but I felt like I could pay more attention to her traditional values (being raised in a shrine, etc, not to mention other things critical to the plot that I won't mention)
If you've never seen Higurashi, I found a video that pretty much sums up the first season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8OyGX39YRo
Granted... not my choice of music, but given the way they chose to work the video, it fits very well. :D
Hope you enjoy!

Holy Thunderstorm.

2009-06-17T22:08:33Z

It's crazy. The computer will be off. OMG how does it storm so hard?

There's been an error

2009-06-17T13:38:11Z

getting my domain set up. It's a problem cause we had to cancel BOTH plans. This means, I was completely dependent on hubby to back up all my blog info and pics because I had no idea this was going on. :/ Lets hope. So the original hosting package that was supposed to expire in Sept.? I guess the site is still up, except he removed all the data. Im so confused. Pics are down for a while then. :/

Commissions

2009-06-16T01:28:19Z

Would anyone like a commission? I promise to negotiate price with you and work to get the best deal. I would really love to keep this to my friendslist, but if you know someone who needs one that would be awesome too. Dress form arrives in 5 days and will fit measurements up to: 100cm bust, 80cm waist, 102cm hips. Then I shall save up for a larger one.
emmyette , do you still want that striped skirt?
kyandichan , did you still want that blouse?
I need to make monies to pull out of debt.
I have one day left on kai_nimura 's cutsew, so it's all good! (you know, kai, that means we need to meet up.)

Debt and Scrambling

2009-06-15T19:52:25Z

It turns out that the birth control purchase put us in debt. by $68.00. It sucks to not have insurance even for a month. (And as it’s been prescribed to me for non preventative reasons, all the more important that I have it.) So that means I’m in high gear to make some extra monies.

Kai, your cutsew progress from last time (and a strange decision of mine to have a pillow model it for you.)

Ok, the pillow is too big. That's supposed to show the gathered top.

I have two slots for the remainder of this month as far as commissions. I’d really like to offer them to my friends, but I know this particular timeframe isn’t the best for everyone, so I’ll try to be fair with prices. Uh… I guess if you need anything, I’m here! :D AIM:fourtimesfast

I’m off to start the lace for kai’s top. Cat ramblings below the cut.

The other night I’m looking all over the house for a headcount, making sure the cats are all safe. Can’t find Poncho. Lo and Behold!

Spider Cat!

She’s really unique, I have to hand that to her. I’m still not too clear on how she managed to get up there and stay balanced.

Much Love!

6 skirt goal.

2009-06-12T14:56:25Z

I need to make 6 skirts to earn enough money for a dress form in the small - medium size (which will be my first size range because... it's convenient for me. I am in the higher measurement range for that dress form.
I guess...

View Poll: The order in which...

And Alice hasn't helped me a damn bit. :/

"What? You're making me toys, right?"
