Plan:

[bubosquared]

Weekend of 02.03.2002: Part-ay like it's 2099! Woot! It's been way too long. No idea what to wear. Vynil trousers and random tank top? Oooh, I feel like trying to punkify a t-shirt or sommat. Shall do that. Have some T-shirt transfer stuff left over, which could prove useful. (Any ideas on what to put on it?)

Weekend of 09.03.2002: Home. Gather strength. Clean. Writewritewrite!

Weekend of 16.03.2002: Reunion. Meep! Thoughts on outfit, anyone? I'm thinking my punkish jeans (newly be-written, of course) and vynil cami, plus goth makeup et accessories (collar!) Yes? No?

Weekend of 23.03.2002: Nodnol avec Sae et Zed! Wheeeee! Wear punk jeans and ditto t-shirt (see above) for general trudging around, and take camera to take slashy pictures for the swanslash site. (Wheeeeeee!) Kind of want to wear skirt and corset to Slimelight, but those don't go well with my Docs, and the high-heeled boots are sommat of a niusance, to say the least. Perhap I should practice.

Weekend of 30.03.2002: Chat-in, third edition! Woooooooo!

(Also, I am the girliest girl ever. Dude. Outfit talk! Gah.)

Oh, great. Now you're making me worry about what to wear four weeks in advance! Velvet skirt? No, don't have any top that goes with it and no boots either. Buy a short black skirt and wear my zebra fishnet tights with a torn shirt? Wear plain trousers and my completely torn-to-shreds shirt with nothing under it? ;P

Reunion outfit: I like! (Of course.)(Take pictures!)

High-heeled boots: There's a reason I don't have any.

(And yeah, outfit talk. So embarrassing but so much fun!)

Um, oops? :)

Any thoughts re: Punk t-shirt design are welcome, BTW. I'll be buying a t-shirt shirt tomorrow, if I can find one I like. (I'm thinking tight, but stretchable, and either purple or blueish or something. Or pink? ;D) Strategically placed rips and safety pins, and a few slogans in black/green iron-on. Hrmm. ("I write gay porn"?)

Pictures shall be provided, of course, but you can already catch a glimpse of the cami here.

And, yes, but they're pretty! And my Docs really don't go with the classic goth outfit. :/

(I feel like I should be giggling and talking about how cute Justin Timberlake is or something, except, of course, I already do that. Help! I'm evolving in reverse!)

[sivan.livejournal.com]

Trust me: If I were any good at coming up with shirt slogans I'd love to help you, but alas, I'm not. (Though I was about to suggest something along the lines of "I write gay porn." and then thought I was just being much too fixated again. Ha.)

Cami: Oh! That! Pretty!

And my Docs don't really go with anything but plain trousers either, but I'm too cheap to buy another pair of boots because I hardly ever wear skirts anyway. (Of course, it might be argued that if I had boots, I'd also wear skirts. Hmm.)

(*patpat* We all are.)

Re:

Trust me, when it comes to me, you're never too fixated. (Oooh, I might use that picture of Si and Perry snogging! :D)

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Well, pink is punkish . . .

Safety pins usually prove to be a real pain to put on shirts. I tried - individually and making chains out of them - and couldn't get them to look decent. ("I write gay porn" - always good. Grr, come to think of it, I got sent an e-mail forward containing the ten best t-shirt slogans ever a few days ago. I was impressed, but can hardly remember any of them.)

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Dammit.

Well, I'll just have to strategically tear it, then, I spose. :)

I suppose "On Monkey Crack" could work too, yes?

Also, I really hope it'll be somewhat warm enough when Sae and I come over that I'll be able to showcase my t-shirt.

Re:

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Ripping good, but don't go too insane. (I spent ages trying to punkify a shirt that Bryn ripped nearly apart. It looked Adam Ant-ish, but very amateur.)

Yes, indeedly.

Well, I can't vouch for British weather. Bring a coat, and you can maybe leave it at Sae's hotel if it's not necessary. Hey, wear your long fake leather coat and we can match and pose as trenchcoat mafia!

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that wouldbe cool! If the weather's not too cold, I'll wear a sweater and my trenchcoat. I'll save the ape for Slimelight, if I indeed end up wearing my skirt and corset. (It's loverly, but not really suitable for wandering around London.)

Re:

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

*really wondered "Since when do you own an ape?" for several seconds, then realised the misplaced c*

You'd probably quickly find someone more bizarrely dressed than yourself, but yeah, probably best saved for the night, given potential puddles.

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

Yeah, 's not the bizarety (I wear the thing to work!) but more the practicality I'm worried about.

Re:

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Your workplace sounds kewl! Slashy coworkers, funchie dress codes . . . even Anna the Goth, who wears a corset on a daily basis, resisted the temptation to wear her black boa to work yesterday (shame, we could have had feathers of three colours).

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Advice: the more dressed-up the better, or you'll feel underdressed. Could you get a top to go with the velvet skirt? Is it long or short? If long, boots not too much of a worry. It is dark in there. (Hence, partially, the need for pinkness - other colours don't show up terribly well.)

Yeah, high-heeled boots evil, hard as I've tried to adjust to them. Platforms rock. (For short people like me, anyway.)

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm wanting to punkify clothes too - after I saw Darren The Industrial's written-on shirt last night - but have no ideas what to put. (Although I must make myself an "I hate t-shirts" t-shirt at some point.) Darn it, we're meant to be the writers, but nothing slogan-wise can we come up with! Items from your many quote pages, perhaps?

Anyway, outfital plans sound good. Your high-heels rock lotsly, so maybe you should practice. Hey, you can change your mind if it's still proving too scary by Slimelight, but twould be a useful skill anyway. Besides, your Docs would be somewhat hidden by skirt.

Outfit talk is fun! I do it far too often, and am scared I sound totally shallow. I'll probably be doing the PVC dress thing again (I would wear my red PVC top thang, for variety, but red and pink? Certainly not!), pink boa and pink and black tights (I'm going to try and get one leg stripey, one leg fishnetted).

Slashy pictures sound more scary. Meep! Can't you take slashy pictures of the blokes at Slimelight instead? (Oh, wait, you're not allowed to take pictures in there. Mimph.)

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oooh, quotes! That's an idea!

Am practicing as we type. (T-shirt, sweapants and high heels. I look like a freak.) It's not just the heels, though. I'm sotr of in a more butch-punk mood lately, but not sure how that would go at Slimelight.

No! We need swanslash fodder!

Re:

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Well, they wouldn't object, providing you didn't rip their clothes with spikes. When I took Ibid, she was in full hippie mode, and she fared ok. And quite a few people just dress casually.

I know, but I come out horribly in photos (unless my face isn't showing). I'll happily take pictures of you two, though, if I can work out how to operate your camera.

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hm, well, shall see what I feel like wearing, then. I'll take my suitcase on wheels, so I'll have enough room for lots of bumph. Expect me to not have made a decisoin until we have to leave, and ask you two for advice.

I may be stealing the digicam from work, which should be fairly easy to operate. :)

Re:

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Okey dokey.

Ah, yes, I can cope with those. I would bring my own, except I can't get the program for it to work. I e-mailed my brother (who advised me about it in the first place), asking assistance, but he only checks his e-mail about once every two months. Oh well, he might write back before the 23rd.
