We’re in London!
Hooray! This is why I haven’t posted all week – I’ve been getting ready for this trip. Yesterday and today have been a mixture of raw nerves and exhaustion, but we’re here. And extremely jet-lagged. It’s only 6 PM here, but I think we’re going to go to bed. We both almost feel asleep in our pizza at the Italian restaurant we ate at. More on our flight, our awesome flat, and awesome neighborhood tomorrow!

Wow – I had no idea that this was happening! Crammed Organisms is calling out for artists all over the world to submit their plushie creations for this show. The show is going to be June 6, 13, 20, and 27, and applications have to be in by March 29. Dan and I are going to be out of town from March 15 through the 29, so I’ve got to get cracking. The theme is “Fairy-Folk-Fable”, so I’m going to make some awesome plush sasquatches. Maybe a few other cryptids. They’re also accepting visual art and written pieces, so if you create at all, definitely enter! I’ll update the blog with my plushie progress!

Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away today. I’m going to go home and paint my 20-sided die black in his honor.

Hooray! Jovovich-Hawk for Target arrived today. Like Subspace, I’m a huge Milla Jovovich fan. Dan was very disappointed, though when I told him that the collection wouldn’t include zombie-fighting leather chaps and hot pants.
I have been really excited about this collection, after months and months of dark dresses with black tights. I’m really impressed – this collection is very Art Nouveau-in-the-seventies inspired, with a bit of 50′s retro thrown in. It all looks very well made. My only gripe is that the dresses are so cute, but so incredibly short and sheer.
I got the two shirts above. I’ve been on the lookout for a blousy white shirt to wear under a shrunken vest. And I just couldn’t resist the black and cream chevron top. Way too cool. I really like several other pieces in the collection, but I think I’ll wait and snag them when they go on sale.
