And they had the X-factor, according to Boris.

Apparently my parents are arriving next week. I think they're staying for a week or so. I'm probably going to take a few days off to keep them entertained, but for this weekend maybe I won't head to London then. Urgh depends on what they want me to do.

John Lewis sells dressmakers' mannequins... if it's only the top half it's £80, but I want the one that includes the hips too which will set me back £130 (ie this one, with free guarantee & shipping. Need the hips if I make anything a bit long like Soldier Blue's inner jacket and Dave's jacket!), which is about the same price as other shops. *eyes them* Do want... *hovers pointer over the buy button*

Still haven't seen the end of the massively-massive report of massive doom, with its a million appendices. Can we please send this out soon?

I'm still having a "what was TfL thinking?" reaction regarding this (more here, essentially Westminster/TfL getting cosplayers in to help with the opening of the redesigned Oxford Circus junction). The staff at Cosplay Island and Cosplay Ball were involved and they had loads of fun, but... er, Boris? What the hell, Boris?

[edit] OH YES. Guys. digiguy_online sent me the photos he took of me at Expo! Here!

...that's... so bizarre. O_o

I'm going to be around this weekend since mum is actually in manchester, for... slightly mysterious reasons. I can't decide if I should try to Do Stuff or if I should just fall over. Rather afraid of letting myself fall over. Might never get up again. >_>

If they really want the Japanese-ness, fine. But Boris struck a gong. That's not even Japanese. orz And yes, Boris. Cosplayers. Taiko drummers. Big symbol. Red ribbons. BIZARRE. (And apparently Boris told the cosplayers they all "had the X-factor.") orz

I vote for Do Stuff.

My weekend plans are currently family-dependent. >> Once they make up their minds...

The diagonal crossing is fun, but wtf TfL.

Eee! More Dave!Pez!Dave photos. (Actually my reaction went 'oooh pretty aie I am in some of these noooo'.)

My flat was all sad and lonely last night. :(

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I kept checking under my bed. D:

[storme]

Also it was doubly disorienting waking up in an empty bed this morning: no Iain, no Pez-n-Syl. :(

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

And no cat in your face!

[storme]

triply disorientating!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Poor Storme. ;;

[storme]

I need a cat.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I can't lend you mine but you can come play with her if you like!

[storme]

That is the best offer I have had all day. :)

Lol I had a similar reaction. It's only a pedestrian crossing... it's not even stripey! What's with that?!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

It's really strange without the stripes. XD But I can see they left it out... I think to have them crossed like that there won't conform to the regulations here. Though I needa check! XD

Um yeah, so this is probably very uninteresting but in England zebra stripes are definitely only allowed for uncontrolled crossings. Because the Oxford Circus ones have lights they can't use them. =/

[jetsam]

Boris is brilliant. You should have stopped being surprised by now :P

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I guess......... but now I'm imagining Boris cosplaying. I don't know what as, but it's scary anyway.

[storme]

Hermeien

I don't know. My brain wants to hurt me with these thoughts, I swear.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

or The God Emperor.

[storme]

or Priam!

That costume is so incredibly amazing that I'm collecting my jaw from the floor every time I look at them. Wow. The whole look is just picture-perfect!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

^////^ Aw, thank you! You're being really flattering and I don't know what to say. ♥

[quatorze.livejournal.com]

You don't have to say anything. I'm just telling the truth here!

Btw, if you want to experiment, it's possible to make an exact dress model of yourself using duct tape. I remember seeing instructions online (have been thinking about doing one for myself, especially if I start sewing once again)... although you probably did know about this already...

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I've read about the duct tape mannequin, yeah. I think in the long run I still want a proper one. XD

[digiguy-online.livejournal.com]

forgot to ask for your permissions to post a couple of those photos to DA! if i may :D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Sure! :D Could you link to me in the posts? My name there is yukiscorpio. ♥

[digiguy-online.livejournal.com]

The dressmaker's mannequin looks very cool. *wants one too* Will you get it?

The pictures look really awesome. ^___^ I love the Gay Bolt.
