I don't know why the repro scene in the UK is so good, but man is it annoying that some of the very very most accurate reproduction vintage would cost me like 50 goddamn dollars in shipping and also would be royal mail so who knows if it would show.

And it's all "straight across." It's 90% straight-up, reproduction of shit that was made from the 1940s to the 1960s. Love that. Most of what we have in the US is a very twee, "pinup" take on the style. There is nothing wrong on god's green and verdant earth with wearing a fit and flare swing dress with a fuckin Fraggle Rock print, but that is not how I want to live my life. I want to look like I could have stepped onto the street in 1954 or some shit. (With some minor styling differences, I'm not a purist by any means, I'm just not into being CUTESY. I'm playing it straight.) And in the US, we just do NOT have the wide variety of options for that--we have shit like Modcloth, Unique Vintage, etc. Which in addition to being cheaply made, mostly, is all that twee stuff, or all fucking black.

I do not mind spending money on my clothes! The secret to my 'success' is I buy very few items of clothing a year and I spend MONEY on them. At this stage in my life, I am looking to refine my wardrobe, not build it. I am swapping out less nice pieces for better ones. But JESUS, does it make me choke to save up 90 bucks and then have 50 bucks in shipping on top of it.

And yeah, you actually can find the stuff I'm looking for at clothiers who do not specialize in reproduction. I got my Kitty Hepburn style pants and vest from Banana fucking Republic, really nice, thick 80% wool blend. Exactly what I wanted. But the trouble is *I* know the words I am looking for, but especially resellers DO NOT. I know what a dolman sleeve blouse is, but does Chaz in Boca Raton selling a silk blend top that I DO WANT? No! Not often!

And GOD, every time I look on ebay and see how AMAZINGLY CHEAP the resale market is on this stuff in the UK, I SCREAM. You are all so fucking spoiled cry cry cry.

Mizu consumed my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about her. I didn't expect this sudden hyperfixation or to get a favorite character so randomly. Definitely not complaining tho! Started rewatching blue eye samurai but this time alone so I can giggle and scream in peace without my little gremlin brother judging me. That ass, as if we both aren't into girls.

My birthday is nearing as well and I decided to order a cake with her print on it. You know? Like a totally normal, very typical 25 year old would. Ah yes, spending adult money on very adult things.

I don't even wanna celebrate it. Hell, I don't even like cakes but I NEED a cake with her. You know that tiktok trend with Lana song "dear lord when I go to heaven let me bring my man" and with ppl posting their favs on cakes? Yeah, wanna do that. So I can prove it to everyone that all my fictional gfs are mine. Again, like a totally normal adult would. Who am I proving it to again? Idk, but I will prove it. Idk it's 4am I probably should sleep.

Last minute decided I’m going to megacon and then even more last minute decided to grab a Neil Newbon autograph ticket. Now I have to decide what to have him sign djskdjdjd

[lady-of-imladris]

I make great financial decisions!

I want a red lipstick

The one I want doesn't seem to be available in any stores so I'll order it online, it's like 8€

I can't decide between two colours, I get them both

2€ more and I'll get free shipping? NICE

...gets a new perfume for 50€

Y'know it was REALLY goddamn evil and nefarious that the oil fields gave my mom (a single mom working 3 jobs to raise 2 kids) a single $5,000 check in exchange for her signing a nondisclosure to never complain about them.

Of course we fucking took the money. Even with her working 1 full-time job and 2 part-time jobs, she barely made over $1,000 a month. Of course she took the money. We though about moving but we still couldn't afford it. She was so frugal with it, though. It did give us a sliver of financial security for years.

But goddamn. $5,000 is table scraps to them, and they bought her silence with it because she couldn't refuse the chance to slightly lessen the weight of poverty on her family.

He’s not greeted in Khazad-Dûm very well.

He’s decidedly not greeted in Khazad-Dûm the way he thinks he’s gonna be greeted in Khazad-Dûm, you know?

[hopefull-mindset]

Ah yesss, the 8th volume of Oda Sakunosuke's completed works. Fully in Japanese, and oh! Would you look at that? It contained the work named ���Kyōka Izumi�� that I was curious about that I couldn't find online.

It's too bad I can't read Japane— [my hand mysteriously moves my cursor closer to add to cart] …hey now, these are some unwise financial decisions I could be making here. Let's really think this through, I mean do I really need to have this—

[I look up and see “thank you for your order” in bright, bold colors]
