'Kay, so I've been going on a Sweeney Todd binge in the past few days, between the soundtrack I borrowed and the fact that I realized that *gasp* I can download movies with this ridiculously fast connection at my disposal! So far I downloaded Sweeney Todd, Repo!, Blades of Glory, and Mean Girls. And I can't think of any other movies to get. (Suggestions are appreciated ;D) Anyway, so I've become just a tad bit obsessed, which isn't really a good thing, but besides that, I'm now dyyyying to be Mrs. Lovett for Hallowe'en or something. I think it would be sooooo much fun. I know how I'd do my hair, since I know how to tease it now, and makeup's easy. It's the freaking costume, without which you can't really say you're Mrs. Lovett, now, can you?
I love the last costume she wore, before she got pwned, that beautiful corset with the off-the-shoulder bit and lace detail at the neckline, with defined boning all down the front (basque waist?) that would be a bitch to sew and of which I absolutely cannot seem to find a reference picture of. It was the prettiest one, why does it not existttt? XP
And it'd be totally awesome to do a photo shoot in front of that Sweeney Todd's barber place, by Hermann's! That would be fun n.n;;
I'd need to find a Sweeney, preferably with a costume lol, because I can't imagine making a costume for someone else, I'd be so worried it would look like crap. And figure out how to work the damn sewing machine. Each time we cross paths, it seems to win, or at least cause complete and utter frustration at the fact that it completely will not do what I want it to until I finally complete my project, or get fed up enough to call it complete. That and any attempt to do a real, nice, decently strong corset would be futile because a) it's not nearly strong enough to deal with that much thickness (it won't even sew denim.) and b) nobody in Victoria, as far as I know, and I have researched, sells steel bones, or busks for that matter. (I wonder if I could rework something from like, Home Depot to work as boning? XD That would be a fun project; the Home Depot corset, made of duct tape, flimsy steel, plastic ties, maybe some brightly-coloured rope for the lacing, a section of measuring tape for the bias? Hey, it could work ;D)
I'm dyyyying to do it. I really really want a nice, poofy skirt from that era that I could wear with a corset. Yes, people would probably stare because their narrow minds cannot encompass how fucking amazing the wardrobe from that period was, but let 'em ;D They're just jealous!
But imaggiiinnnnneeeee~ I'd need some satin (ooh, Fabricland sells wet-look PVC >.>;; if I want something more... non... traditional...? XD I just remembered~) for the underbust (if I went with her initial outfit, the only one I can find good pictures of), something pretty for the skirt/shirt thinger (lol, I believe that those are technical terms), and some lace, for over the top and probably also for cute little fingerless gloves~ Bahahaha. I should totally do it. It would be awesome.
Guh. What I really should be thinking about is the small mountain of homework at the foot of my bed. At the very least I should complete the lab, the English Prufrock poem thing, and some math. I should also do some chem, but I think that that ranks last in priority right now. But I'm too lazy... I don't want to... I just wanna lie around for a bit, relax, and just exist. Actually, I kind of wish I had someone to talk to on MSN right now. I'm sort of bored and feeling kinda lonely. I've been here alone all day, mom took off and didn't come back until around eight-thirty or nine. HOLY SHIT. Is it really 1:19 AM? Are you serious?! How can that be?! UGH. That means Monday is a hell of a lot closer than I thought it was! I don't want Monday to come, ever. So sick of school right now, especially so of the massive volume of homework I have, I'm so ready for a nice big winter break.
...Bahhhhhhh.
Finally getting tired. Hopefully I can drift away soon, as soon as I can finally wean myself off the computer.
But I'm disappointed, just a little, in myself. I was going through bookmarks in my computer of stuff I liked, and the dresses I loved for the dinner-dance, something I've been looking forward to since I was a little girl, and all the dresses I used to be crazy over are like, meh. Have I really changed that much in such a short time?
I'm thinking now I should track down a deep emerald corset and skirt and just run with it. At least no other girls would be wearing my dress ;D
LOL. Maybe I'll just be Mrs. Lovett for the dinner-dance. Hahahaha. That would be amazing.
