I overheard this from another table at dinner last night:

"What's a gigabyte?"
"Oh, that means if you printed it all out, it would equal 10,000 trees."

...NO.

Hello sailor!

I have completed the Batman skirt!



It turned out quite nicely! The fabric is pretty stiff, so the pleats are crisp and keep their shape. It's actually not finished, I need a snap closure for the top because putting a buttonhole in this thick fabric AIN'T HAPPENIN'.

I also finished a blackbird dress, which turned out to be ( a bit of a disappointment )

I have been listening to Guided By Voices a lot lately. It's kind of nice to listen to something that's, well, listenable.

Also, UGH I STILL DO NOT HAVE A LIVEJOURNAL LAYOUT. With all the fucking time I waste on the internet you'd think I would have found one by now.

( Ignore this, friendslist! )

I'm trying to do a project for every day this week, and this was the one I finished today. I wanted to do something non-Lolita, but I made a high waisted slightly above knee length full skirt...WHAT A DEVIATION!



God, I love this fabric so much. It was probably made for housewives in Maine to make tablecloths out of.

I'm a feminist. I'm also a Lolita. No, not in the Nabokov sense. This type of Lolita is a frilly, modest fashion from Japan based on Victorian styles. The purpose is not to look sexy, but rather somewhat doll-like. If the connotations of the name creep you out, just replace "Lolita" with "ingenue" or "eggplant". But that's not my point. A few days ago, the world of frilly fashion collided with the Jezebel brand of feminism. The result was somewhat disastrous. The comments ranged from the typical "looks weird/retarded/you couldn't pay me to wear that" to the more troubling "they're only doing it for attention/they must have something wrong with them/it's a fetish/grow up freaks/they're baiting pedophiles."
