Serenity, strumpets, showtunes

[kivrin]

My brain is playing the showtunes station today - scraps of Phantom of the Opera while I got dressed, now Man of La Mancha. Maybe it's the memory of Slammerkin that's making "...a strumpet men use and forget" echo in my mind.

I'm wearing most of my Zoe costume now, so I can go straight along to after work to meet up with greyhoundliz and jimmi_obadger for the 7:10 show of Serenity. I have on a dark blue denim shirt very much like the one Zoe wears at the beginning of "Our Mrs Reynolds" and dark brown cordoroy pants of what seems to me an appropriately Zoe-ish shape, and practical brown ankle boots(not to be confused with the dressy brown ankle boots which last winter were giving me corns and may need to be entirely retired.) Later I'll tuck my shirt in, put on a wide belt, a ribbon necklace, and an I-could-kill-you-with-my-pinkie attitude. (Liz and/or Jimmi - I have the makings of a necklace thing for Liz, too.) My hair looks acceptable, which I will count as a win, since whenever Product comes into the picture, there's always at least a fifty percent chance of tangled, crunchy disaster. (I am perhaps the definition of 'low femme' - I am interested in Doing Things with my hair but don't care enough to practice enough that I have more than even odds of succeeding with any styling effort other than the brush-and-insert-barettes or the french-braid updo.)

Thanks! Report to come tonight (and email, if I don't fall over asleep *g*)

Yay for a Zoe costume. I wish I could demand pictures of your assorted looks, but I doubt there'll be many cameras in your luddite group. *sigh*
Enjoy the movie!!!

Oooh! Oooh! I have a camera! The same disposable camera I had at Falcon Ridge, actually. I am totally planning to snatch some pictures. :)

Movie response to come later this evening! With tales of badgerish antics!

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

You just made my day!
Promises of badgerish antics always make me happy, and I'm looking forward to your movie response since, for once, I'm up to date on the subject, and will even have seen the movie!!!
Yay geekish fandom!

[kivrin.livejournal.com]

yay, geekdom! And if I take 9 pictures I can get the roll developed, so there will be FRFF pics too. :)

Also, oh my GOSH your kittens are so adorable.

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'm so excited about FRFF pics, as you took bunches of potentially awesome ones!

I know! They're captivating in their cuteness. you should see them petting and grooming each other... =)

I got a pic of Liz dressed as Mal, striking a swashbuckling pose, and she took one of me trying to look like I could kill with my pinkie. (As I said to her when we headed over to the theater, "I feel like I should be carrying a large firearm, which for me is pretty much a first.") I don't know if they'll come out... we were outside and it was dark and I don't know how good the flash is.

*glee*
Yeah, wanting to carry a firearm is an odd urge.
We went out to the boonies to see it, and NO ONE was in costume. *sigh*
I shall treasure the concept of the pictures, at the very least.

I like the mental image of Liz dressed as Mal. I feel that she can rock a long coat quite well.

Ooh, you should totally post pictures! I wanna see! But why did you need to put product in your hair?

Also, you need to tell me how dark your icon looks on your computer, because it looked good enough, if a bit dark, on my home computer, and looks practically unidentifiably dark on the work computer. So if it looks really dark to you, too, then I will have to lighten it.

We're going to an 8:00 show. :^)

But why did you need to put product in your hair?
I put in stuff that, in the language of hair product bottles, "enhances curl" to encourage my hair to be ringletty-curly rather than its natural state of frizzy-curly.

The icon is a little dark on my computer. I hadn't thought of it as a problem, but if you have a chance to do a version that's a bit lighter, that would be lovely. :)

We're going to an 8:00 show. :^)
I eagerly await your response(s)!

Okay, I actually lightened it quite a bit, because it was bugging me that it was so dark. So it might look a bit washed out now, but Firefly plays with weird lighting all the time.
