This gal who hates to spend money on herself finally came down to the computer, credit card in hand, to order the adorable retro polka dotted shoes from Target for our engagement pictures a week from today..............
.........and they're sold out in my size.

| Dita = LOVE |
[Mar. 28th, 2008|08:55 pm] |
Just a few random Dita things I found tonight and LOVED.
LOVE this dress:
LOVE these wedding pictures (I had seen some before, but not such close up pics of her dress)
And am highly amused by these pictures of her from a fashion show. Wrong eye, silly designer!!
Dita = THE QUEEN.

I deleted the link to your original comment on your blog, so here I am. I requested Rufus Wainwright's CD with the gorgeous Pre-Raphaelite covers, and hey, guess what? I'm really liking his music! I'd never listened to him before. His voice kinda reminds me of the lead singer of Radiohead. In a good way.

| Any anime fans...help with cosplay? |
[Mar. 15th, 2008|12:19 pm] |

I need a simple anime cosplay costume for a redhead with long hair, or a dark brunette with long hair (I have a brunette wig). Simplicity, yet easy recognizeability is key. Help?

FYI....it is completely unacceptable to use public entries in my journal to post anonymous insults towards people who I consider to be dear friends.
I'm pretty angry about this. >:(

Take the Quiz here!
Ha! This would be more entertaining if I knew Jane Austen better. Those of you who are Austen-philes, does this sound right for me?
:) I DO SO love a good Gothic novel.... |

I have a thing for liking movies that most people don't. I also have a thing for movies that are all symbolic and blending fantasy and reality (see my most beloved The Fountain). So this movie looks REALLY good to me. |

This is mostly for my own reference to show Tom later, since he's a huge movie buff.
From awesome_places, here's an amazing list of themed home theaters!
Oooooh |

| Today's Theme: Fairies (Fairy tales and Fairy doors) |
[Feb. 13th, 2008|01:03 pm] |

A friend passed on this link to me this morning...apparently Ann Arbor Michigan has an artist who makes Faerie doors...and most of them aren't just a little door you slap onto a wall, but an installation where he puts in windows to view small rooms and such. It was quite charming to look around the website, but also slightly heartbreaking to see the horrible things that people do to the doors that are out in public places.
This one broke my heart the most:
This is on a shelf in the public library. SO wonderful!
And here's what people do to it:
But it's still a neat site.
Second, has anyone seen the awesome article on the Yahoo homepage???
About the science of fairy tales. |

I need your help!
There was a woman I read about...there was a biography of her I almost requested via interlibrary loan, but I never did end up doing so. All I recall was that she was a rich woman (heiress? noble?) who had portraits of her painted by all the greatest artists of her time, and was known for her crazy parties, and for walking her big cats down the streets at night, wearing just furs.
Has ANYone heard of this person?????? |

...is the best way to describe how I feel today. Tom gave me his cold, and I have it with an awful vengeance. Tickley throat? Check. Stuffed up nose? Check. Shooting pains in the lower back? Check. (grumble)
But I still love the guy a lot. And........I can't figure out what to get him for Valentine's Day next week. I can always take the easy road and get him one of a million DVDs he'd like, but I'd like to at least try making him something nice and little or buying him something unique. I toss the idea out there on the off chance that someone has an idea. Our spending limit is $20. Lucky guy already bought my gift. |

Come over to Blogger and check out my new blog! I wanted to have a place to celebrate my love of all things Arts & Crafts and Pre-Raphaelite. |

Look at all the pretties.
The gowns and headpieces under the "Virtual World" flash page are especially nice. |

| I <3 The Pre-Raphaelites |
[Feb. 3rd, 2008|02:55 pm] |
I've been on a very serious Pre-Raphaelite kick lately. Well, that makes it sound like it's something new, and I've been obsessed with the Pre-Raphaelites since I was....14?? But lately it's especially a hobby. I've discovered how many fascinating books I can Inter-library loan on the subject at the library (Jen, I ILLed the Jewelry book, and it was SO great!!!), and have found out all kinds of interesting things about the Brotherhood and their VERY significant influence on so many aspects of life and revolution. I'm even considering starting a Blogger blog for Pre-Raphaelites and their influence on today...kinda like the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood site, or Earthly Paradise two sites that are daily checks for me now.
Anyway, I wanted to do a picture that was inspired by a Rossetti, so I had Tom take a few portraits of me today and I love how they turned out! They are roughly inspired by (not meant to be a direct duplicate) Rossetti's Bocca Baciata, pictured under the cut.
HOORAY FOR PARRISH RELICS!!!! :D
