Ruff beginnings

Posted on November 9, 2008 by Trystan

Next on the docket, that head-on-a-plate ruff for my 1580s gown. Because I hath seen Patterns of Fashion 4 and it doth rock. Yea verily forsooth!

Wandering through a fog… Another venture out for dance therapy at New Wave City at the @sfcatclubofficial! Less crowded than last month’s anniversary party. Theme was Duran Duran & Love & Rockets, & I found the later was better. Lots of Bubblemen vids playing which took me back! These go together, right? RIGHT? Not as much progress as this might seem — I only pinned in the sleeve linings in the past 2 weeks. These giant sleeves of d00m are waiting for much handwork, meaning I need to be in a better headspace. I did the cartridge-pleating before the election. Went to the @sfcatclubofficial last night for Siouxie vs the Cure & omg did it deliver! Even better than New Wave City last month (which is almost heretical to say!). Most importantly, this was good dance therapy after a deeply bad week. #Caturday morning with Luna. Here’s a #throwbackthursday to a dinner party in Venice earlier this year with some of my dearest friends. Cozying up with a little black cat as the world crumbles outside. This is the only “maga” I ever want to see. I voted by mail & my ballot has been accepted by the county. Please vote today if you haven’t already!
