With the help of several friends (Shannon and Vana, natch), I FINALLY managed to rename this important secondary character
So Sharp’s roommate/romantic interest now has a name that isn’t the confusing Sharon:
Mina (full name: Dorotea Wilhemina Kirchner, signs artwork as D. W. Kirchner)
The question now is: do I take a shower before bed? I have to go to bed no later than midnight, because I have to get up at ten to make it across town to Ms. St. John’s house to watch a tape of her in Rocky Horror.
She invited a bunch of past graduates, and most of the ones likely to show up are people I know, some of whom I haven’t seen in ages. So maybe I should be showered and look presentable?
I wasn’t going to take a shower tonight, but then I had vigorous and really sweaty sex, so now it’s in that awkward in-between stage where I took a shower yesterday, buuuuut I could probably use one before I go out tomorrow.
aaaaaaaaaaaa
The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined. Lets get on the ball and spread the word.
I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.
Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.
Seriously people…
WHY THE FUCK AREN’T PEOPLE REBLOGGING THIS??
i wish i was being played by lucy liu
do people seriously not understand that when you say to a person that they need to be careful how they dress or how much they drink or how they act around men
you are NOT saying “hey, I worry about your safety”
you are saying “I believe men literally cannot control themselves”, which sounds a whole lot to me like “I understand where rapists are coming from”
which is scary as fuck to hear from someone who is supposedly on your side.
No one, ever. (via scoldylox)
Almost as bad as linking my facebook friends to my twitter ie, NO NEVER NOT EVER STOP ASKING AAAAAA
They studio may also be considering an unknown.
The studio should also be considering Jesse Williams and no one else.
#I Mean #Oh Thank God I Was Afraid It Wouldn’t Be A White Dude
it’s like they just googled “BASIC BEIGE ACTORS”
i really need to stop imagining Jesse as Finnick, though, my tears may drown me when the movie comes out and he’s played by some boring dude with a pH of 14
R E A L L Y
WHAT THE FUCK THESE ARE SO FUCKING BORING UGH
what is so hard about NOT SUCKING, HOLLYWOOD
I haven’t seen any of these guys in anything (except taylor kitsch, who, in fairness, was a bright spot in an otherwise awful movie, but since that movie was Wolverine, I’m pretty sure an interesting sneeze would have been a bright spot) but based on my inability to keep track of whose face belongs to whose? Not great picks.
Do you ever have extensive daydreams in which you invent an entire alternate life/universe for yourself?
So, in the wake of reading this terrifying shit, Postcard and I started chatting, as you do, about the zombie apocalypse. Here are some things Postcard and I enjoy: zombie media, common sense, and YELLING ABOUT STUFF. Thus, for your reading pleasure, please enjoy our simple twenty-step guide to NOT DYING in the unlikely event that a zombie apocalypse ravages humanity:
- IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL APOCALYPTIC SITUATION, ASSUME THAT THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING: running water (this includes toilets); anything that relies on electricity (this includes gas pumps); anything that relies on natural gas lines (this includes gas stoves/central heat); basically, anything that relies on there being a factory of some variety at the other end of thing you want to make do stuff. THAT’S ALL GONNA BREAK. THIS INCLUDES THE INTERNET. Thus, the most important thing to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse is:
- RESEARCH. For as long as you possess the internet, do everything you can to learn as much as possible. Research edible/medicinal plants (or seriously, go into a bookstore and loot your shit a guidebook, they’re not large, they sell little tiny ones, you can put it in your pocket, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE NOT DO THIS). Research, from available information, how the zombies work/which of their senses are functional—for example, if they operate largely by smell, you want to work on smelling not alive. If they operate largely by sight, DON’T LIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT. And speaking of fires…
Before I go lie down with ‘salem’s Lot and some dogs
One of my current projects is teaching myself drafting. I’m going through the drafting exercises in the Costumer’s Handbook (which is what Melissa works from when she teaches her pattern-drafting class) and have drafted …three?…corsets this summer.
I mean, corset drafting is pretty simple, compared to something like a suit jacket. Obviously I still have room for improvement (lol what are overbusts? we just don’t know).
ANYWAY my other big personal project is a corset combining the hourglass figure of a Victorian corset with the flat front of a 17th/18th century corset. Which as someone pointed out earlier today, is sort of me combining my love of corsets and binders. ANYWAY I really like this idea but I don’t have any material to use for the mock-up which makes me very sad. The pattern is literally on my drafting table right now. It’s just waiting for mock-ups and refinements.
I’m taking pictures of every step of basically all these projects so I have options for things to put in my portfolio, so this will probably be Summer Drafting Blog for a while.
