Twirl time.
Because with a skirt like that you have to.

I am jealous of the places that have their Renfaire later in the year. Ya'll can break out the layers, the furs, cloaks without roasting in the summer heat.

Atlanta has theirs in the hot months...

Wait... I just looked it up and they have something called a Fall Fling all Saturdays in November.

My hair also says yes. I started with a denman brush with tines removed because that was recommended for my afro hair. When I replace a brush the old one becomes a wig brush. So my tangle teezer eventually became a wig brush.

Black hair care stays winning for wigs. Looking at you oil sheen spray.

And I'll say a LOT of that exclusivity comes from me being real particular who I sew for. 😅
We need to be real good friends for years before I sew for you.

Kept seeing photos and vids of celeb people wearing CELINE merch. I was curious what kind of luxury I was looking at.

$3650 for a letter jacket

WTF. Me and my sewing machine just clutched our pearls in poor.
I've made two and both were easily under $100 in materials.

Got a nice selfie with my TimeKey.

Filter is on cause I did not do a good job with my base foundation that night.

The Mom called me beautiful and told me thank you for talking to them for a bit.

I realized the tears were cause I miss my dad. It was good to see something like him still in the world.

I called my mom afterwards.

Saw a couple today that looked so much like my Mom and Dad's dynamic that I felt a few tears come to my eyes.

They were matching in light blue and they were just going about their day. I told them how cute they looked and we talked for a couple minutes. They have been married for 53 years!

The cat walked on my keyboard and opened up 11 windows with her picture.

I think she did it on purpose.

A friend alerted me to a cute LED cat wall hanging at Aldi's that pretty much is Luna.

$10 usd

Reminder that Aldis stock is limited and changes quickly, so go ASAP.

I was like....I bet I can turn this tablecloth into a skirt.

Now what to wear with it? Based on accessories it can be modern or milkmaid.
Suggestions welcomed

My Diesel Hoock motorcycle jacket from Devil May Cry has successfully come out of the wash.

If you know anything about me then you know it took me 10 yrs to locate & acquire it, so it was nerve-wracking.

You ever see a wholesome celebrity that everyone loves and immediately feel bad for whoever they marry because the public is going to be so mean to him/her

Legit heard some kpop sexism in a store today!
Dude said BTS and their contemporaries are lame cause they lipsync & are a generic version of black music with a Korean face. THEN IN THE SAME BREATH said BlackPink are the realist shit

No dude you just don't like watching boys.You like watching girls

Reversible corset!

I am so delighted by this pattern. It's so good at using up stash and makes a cheery garment. I thought the green side was going to be my favorite but I think yellow won my heart. I'm also pleased by the diamond vs. circle contrast.

Obsession with trains is a known autism flavor.

It's saying that if Tylenol was causing autism then the obsession with trains would have gotten us high speed rail by now.

*deep breath*

Guys one reason I like kpop cause it's cosplay.
It is cosplay, with extra steps.

Idols will change concepts each comeback. They will be pirates, students, angels, a sports team, vampires, gangsters then bad boys/girls.

It's lowkey a cosplay showcase with song & dance.
