Future Flauntage

[livejournal.com profile] kcwitch was telling me the other day (yesterday? the day before?) that I needed to do a pirate flaunt for my birthday party this year... But if we're going to do pirates again, it will probably be in September. I didn't want to give up the flaunt idea though, so I took it home to [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants, and lo, I asked her, "What should the theme be for my birthday flaunt?" And verily, she answered without hesitation: "Festival of Eyeliner". And thus it was decreed that on or around my birthday, there should be a flaunt in which costumery shall be free-formed, so long as it included copious amounts of eyeliner, and that the flaunters could be goths, pirates, drag queens, men of Khand, or whatever else should be agreeable to them. And it was a good plan.

As always

See, and I'm planning way in advance. Everyone should come. I'll even send out invitations and all that stuff. (Can you send an eyeliner pencil through the post? That might be fun.)

hmmmm...wonder if you could get samples or such from HeatherAnne the Avon lady....or a discount for mass order.

Oooh. More good plan-ness. You're so very clever. Samples would be perfect - I bet that wouldn't cause nearly so many problems in the mail as the full-size.

post office regs

You can mail damn near anything if you're willing to pay the postage. Since you've got lots of time, I'd suggest coming up with a sample of the package you really want to mail, bringing it to the post office and asking them for advice. They actually have a marvelous sense of humor and can be good problem-solving partners when you give them a chance.

This message brought to you by a person who has learned an awful lot about direct mail in the last two years. I hear I'm even up for an award now!

Were I going to be in town I'd ask about the necessity of eyeliner for those of us with deep-set, naturally dark eyes.

Sniff... sniff...

But, but... you'd be lovely in eyeliner... I'm sure of it.

I have no idea how to apply eye-liner ...

Oh, anyone can be trained.

You're giggly?? Of all the people in the world that I know, you, I would never call giggly. Amused? yes, laughing?? yes. Not giggly. Eyeliner and drag queens, eh? Count me in.

I know. It was one of those absurdist things :)

[identity profile] featherynscale.livejournal.com 2003-12-31 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Though actually, upon reflection, I do get giggly from time to time. Just not in public.

Am fairly sure I've seen you giggle...but I think it involved Johny Depp in pirate getup. Or after mass consumption of adult beverages and a rousing game of KORS.

Wow, I haven't used eyeliner since theater in highshool.

B.

It's never too late to start again :)

Must practice with the Liquid Eyeliner, if I am to be proficient in time.

I approve of this course of action.

Ooh! Eyeliner! ...oh, wait. Wrong time zone. Carry on.

[identity profile] featherynscale.livejournal.com 2003-12-31 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You are, of course, welcome to exhort the folk of your timezone to celebrate the Festival of Eyeliner as well. It could be a movement.

This is in fact an idea. I shall have a talk with the locals.
