sorcyressYesterday's and Today's Devils Painties amuse me greatly. I kindof want a "Zombies only want you for your brains" shirt now.
Life has been good! Pretty much was out and about from eight this morning to when I got home from Kung fu, around ninteen thirtyish. Whew. It was busy! But, it certainly gave me the option of having an adventure or several.
I have decided that this adventure is a lesson in
Adventure of the Day: 24August2k6
All other, more mundane, missions completed, the three fabulous females of the family decided to go on a grand adventure to the Thrift Store! WOOO!!!
Piling out to the car, Sor nimbly calls out the traditional shotgun, and they pile off. To Laurel, to roam around the best Laural Thrift Center (Or whatever the hell it's called) and get funky, awesome clothes (That kinda smell funnt until you've washed them :D), for really cheap. They arrive, eyes shining, and seperate, looking for their own awesomosity.
And then, Sor finds the womans dresses section. Which is only one way of looking at it -you can never look at clothes in only *one* way, especially things from the thrift store. T-shirts can become corsets, jeans can become skirts, and those floor long womens dresses that button up the front? Simply put, with a quick removal of frippery, they become the most magnificint pirate coats one has ever seen.
"Glee!" she shouts, flipping though dresses. Black, red, green, blue, patterned and plain. Beautiful coats, and she can already see the costumes assempling themselves in her strange, strange minds eye. And then she finds It. The Dress. Which, of course, she is clearly going to have to buy, because if you go to a thirft store and can't find an It, you're *clearly* not trying hard enough.
It is yellow. It is orange. It is blue. It is purple, and brown, and black and white and grey and most importantly, it is Glorious. It is the ugliest thing that Sor has laid her eyes on in...well...in however long it's been since that memorable trip when she and Tee-Kay* saw that truly hideous sequined Thing.
In short, it's the most patchworky mess of colours Sor's seen in a long time. It's got a cruel juxtaposition in a faux quilt design of squares. It calls to her well ingrained eclecticness, and points out that a proper crewmember of the good ship Sublimity wouldn't be caught dead without at least one article of clothing that bright. She bought it on the spot.
Pictures will be added...someday.
Other lewt aquired at that and the other thrift store were two pairs of Pants of God (My new name for black cargo pants with Many Pockets -GLEE!!) a really nice, somewhat tight and borderline slutty black tank-top, and a new skirt that I will most likely wear the next time I go dancing. Total cost: 20.22$. Thrift stores are the best!
Oh yeah, and on the other side of life, I got my new glasses today, and SOR NOW HAS PERSCRIPTION SUNGLASSES! This means that I can go out in the sun without having to squint, and still be able to see, AND not look like a total dork while I do it!! YES!!

MOOP!
*Tee-Kay is officially my newnickname for Aly. It's a basterdization of TK, which stands for Tolkien Kook. Her chosen webname.
