Cabin in the Woods

That's where I spent my night (it's been a while since I've dragged home at midnight.)

One of the guys in the steampunk group has a cabin in the woods, it's darling with just a great space....that he and his wife jammed with Halloween decorations over every kind (I ended up with so many ultra-violet active bubbles breaking on me my boobs were glowing like I was the star of some bukake porno). He's also a brew master (double red, pumpkin ale and a chocolate stout all delicious as is his sasparilla). Got to talk to a lot of my fellow steam punkers AND met new people.

One is with the steampunk group (her kid is really a good little actor). She and I talked a lot all night. She's a make up artist and social media coordinator for the local theatres, a lot of fun. The other is an older woman, quite heavy who was sad because she felt too fat to come steampunking with us. I told her she had nothing to worry about. Our group is so very accepting. Grab a skirt and a blouse and fancy up a hat and we'd love to have you.

And a friend is doing tarot readings there (she's quite good). I told her I always get the 10 of swords so don't worry if it pops up. It DID. She's like are you kidding me. SHe had a suggestion for it though. SHe wonders if that card represents my Italian hot temper since I've been getting that card nearly every reading for 2 decades. Anyhow let's hope the cards are right. My questions was about the change in emphasis in my writing and it looks like it could pay off.

So here's to a nice night out. ANd oh, my stupid cheap ass wal-mart wig ended up less itchy and less problematic than my good wig and everyone loved it. Men I didn't know came up to me to tell me they loved it and my dragon fly wings (which looked beautiful in the black light).

Wow, big changes

at the Renn fest. I knew it was under new management. There is now a giant food court on one side and a sit down restaurant on the other and a few new places tossed in. All we've ever had was the bread bowl place plus the two crappy places both selling turkey legs, steak on a stick and uber gross chicken tenders. If I had known that I would have eat there. Also there were so many vendors it was overwhelming.

I did stick to my usual vendors for the most part and didn't buy all that much though what I did buy was a bit on the mid-range to pricey side. I got a huge, beautiful glow in the dark paperweight for mom who loves glass. I picked up tiger eye earrings, two amber pendants and one blue agate one and got two of the tartan terror's CDS

I also got to listen to the Tartan Terrors in person and saw a fire/sword swallowing act before toddling home.

I took my cane with me because a) my hip was killing me b) I wanted to buy a cool cane and needed to know the right height. The canes were right at the gate and they understood height mattered but none screamed please make me YOUR cane. I'll try again at the Bob Evans Farm Fest next week.

There were only a few things that marred the day. 1. I lost an earring but thought well maybe it's in the wig (I took it off in the car) and I slipped the other one into my bag. Well there was one in the wig but now the one in the bag is gone. 2. I stopped at Popeyes for dinner. It was weird so I ate it while driving home, complete with dips. Didn't drip at all. Getting out of the car at home, I drop the box and hot sauce gets all over the center console, the seat and my dress. GAH. Two weekends in a row I've trashed my car with stuff that stains.

Have some pictures

Another one from yesterday

It would be a great picture if I didn't have such a damn double chin


Sunlight freaked out my camera in my phone (I loathe taking pictures with my phone. I can never see the screen outside)

castle time


See the henna didn't take AGAIN. I think it's time to be done with this. It's a colossal waste of money.


My goodies

bought these the other day...


and have some links to vendors who had great stuff

This is from Tsubasaon, a female centric graphic novel - The Hues.

The Queen’s Keypsakes I got the blue agate from her

The glass blower I got mom's paper weight from

jewelry I’ve been buying for years

brother artists love their stuff but didn't buy from them this year.

Damsel in this Dress I nearly bought a corset from them. They had my size and really the 100$ they wanted would be what it would cost me online. It was beautiful but not in the blue or purple I wanted. It was black/silver so it would have worked. BUT a) it was front lacing and frankly I thought wow it makes me look even FATTER b) she went to wait on someone else who had put something on hold and in just those ten minutes it bothered my stomach. I think I just can't add a corset to my steam punk (also...100$ IS a lot for something I'll wear a couple times a year)

Tomorrow I might be back with a writerly ways...maybe


( I forgot these!)
