uh
I think I might have poisoned myself with balsamic vinegar. WTF.

God, god, GOD I hate my costume right now. But it's as done as it's going to be -- the endlessly tolerant![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_leareth just has to do a couple of rows of sewing on the velcro and then it will be COMPLETE AND ENTIRE. The back's a bit uneven but it will look lovely in photos and that is all I care about at this point, frankly.
There was also an exciting experiment with body paint in which I learned that when one is white as the driven snow, striking out in the direction of dark dark dark brown is NOT A VERY GOOD IDEA. The paint was excellent quality, but I think I would have to be at least a pale olive for it to not look very, very strange and uneven and hideous.
Oh well. I shall be a pale Esmeralda. I am not so invested in this cosplay that I will endure a day's worth of looking like the loser of a mudfight and worrying about whether the double-sided tape is refusing to stick to my painted skin or whether the brown smudges on my white blouse are visible.

My self-inflicted vinegar poisoning is making me want to curl up in bed and watch Rome with a big mug of jasmine tea, but I have anatomy study to do and lecture notes to type up and ugh, ugh, ugh. I really need a holiday. June is going to be a long, long month.

I picked this up for $20, in purple:
It is even cooler than you think it is. The back of it has LACINGS.
