All Hallows

I took a few locks of hair framing my face and dyed them teal (over the reddishness of my hair, it's really just a dark blue, but you can tell there's something ... not quite natural about my hair).

I popped out the lenses of some black-rimmed reading glasses I once bought for a costume many years ago.

Black short skirt, black nylons, black socks, black boots. Black shirt, too, with blue and green plaid flannel tied around waist.

Leather jacket, a shorter one, with lots of zippered pockets and snaps.

More makeup than I usually wear ever, dark lipsick, some black eyeliner.

Voila, a semi-good attempt at being Enid from Ghost World.

Not quite Thora Birch

OK, so:

With leather jacket and flash. Check the hair! The mucky-mucks at my job are gonna kill me!

Just me, and the hair, and the glasses.

I'd like to note that even though I tweeze my eyebrows, I still have much more eyebrow than Thora did in the movie. In fact, it looks like she tweezed nearly all of her eyebrows away, and penciled in a small arc in a soft brown above each eye. While I was willing to don nylons (with a HUGE run in them now, classy!), I really couldn't see going the distance with the brows.

Because, well, I just don't want to look like a comic book character until they grow back in.

However, the teal will be here until it washes out. Heh, shame on me and my impulses.

(no subject)

I am sugared up.

Pow! Kapow! Zing! Hey hey hey! Whoop! Yip yip mmm hmmm!

It's official

I spoke with my aunt last night, the lady who's going to oversee my renting an apartment in her building, and it's a go.

December 1st, I will be ensconced in the new apartment.

For those of you who thought that I had already moved -- not yet! One month!

Pizza and beer and other delicious items for you if you help me move.

(Also, I am getting keys ahead of time, so I can move as much as I want before the furniture has to go. Kick ass!)
