Just up: pics from dinner with narnee and wendolen, Tuesday 11th Monday 10th July. Really heavily beaten around with Picasa, which is knocking digiKam into a cocked hat for usability. If only it didn't trash Exif data.

Interview in friggin' Gatwick for a contract. I think I could stand six months of getting up at 6am for buckets of cash even if I have no intention of making a life of it. The heat's not quite as vicious today, and coming home to a lovely home-made orange juice ice lolly makes lots of difference. Here's to the Employment Bird being so kind as to shit on my head. Though of course I'm waiting for a second interview for a permanent position with one of the few companies I have ever actually wanted to work for. Cross fingers.

Who's visiting us next week? eyeliner297 is popping over one afternoon and evening for dressups and dinner, and I believe there is a vague notion of narnee and kimkali coming over for dinner.

I'm sure there was something on this weekend but neither redcountess nor I can remember what. Remind me? This includes your picnics, dinners, drinkies and so forth that I should be remembering but am not because my brane is cooked.

Bonus photo: eyeliner297 took this at B-Movie and redcountess likes it lots. And you?

tarty diva :)

I'm finally getting photos of me that I like! You don't know how radical this is!

Of course, I am proud to corrupt eyeliner297 into a Mini-Me with her Ixus v2, which is the ultracompact equivalent of your A40 ;-)

Fuckin' goths. :P

[reddragdiva]

Hell yeah.

*cough*

Black lipstick has never done it for me.

I'm quite serious about this, in case you weren't sure. :P

Re: *cough*

[reddragdiva]

OH NOEZ! *angst*

I'll actually be seriously looking for something in a greyish-purple — the black is just a little too contrasting. I expect that won't do any better.

Re: *cough*

[wendolen.livejournal.com]

The contrast is the main problem, really.

See, I think what it is is that my full lips are one of the few features that I have always liked, and black lipstick makes everyone, even me, look thin-lipped and severe, which to me is unsexy.

Finally, I get to say:

Phwoooaaaar!
:-D

[reddragdiva]

Oh baybee ;-)

A belated very nice.

*prrrrr*

So when you visiting us? Huh? Huh?

Tuesday 11th July

Uh... I'm sure it was Monday. We were on a train to Glasgow on the Tuesday!

Yikes, I look really really awful in some of the ones of me.

and I believe there is a vague notion of narnee and kimkali coming over for dinner.

We'd still love to. Is there any particular day that would be good for you? This is of course assuming that I once again feel capable of leaving my flat after the Con From Hell, but you get that.

[wendolen.livejournal.com]

Uh... I'm sure it was Monday. We were on a train to Glasgow on the Tuesday!

Actually, it was Sunday, because Monday's the day I went to Covent Garden alone.

Yikes, I look really really awful in some of the ones of me.

At least you're not sporting those pillowy bags under the eyes. :P

[reddragdiva]

Nuh, it was Monday. Sunday I was down the pub with abigailb. The timestamp on the photos says 2004.07.10 as well. (Here's to Exif data.)

[wendolen.livejournal.com]

...

Oh, dude, you're right! I compressed time on Tuesday enough to go to both Covent Garden and Glasgow! Now I remember.

[reddragdiva]

It was Monday, not Tuesday. If any of the shots are too awful to live, I'll shoot 'em, but I like them all enough of course ;-)

Days ... whenever we all get our shit together I suppose. If the temperature ever drops below 1 zillion. (So September then? ;-p ) Something or other. Head hurts. Buh.

David, I've noticed that all your new friends have great big breasts.

[reddragdiva]

It must be an optical illusion. I have no objection whatsoever to the smaller ones - is breast, is good. Hooray for b00bies!

[ladystardust-xs.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's probably the angle you're taking the photos at... ;)

[reddragdiva]

The Diva Overhead Cleavage Shot™ is of course fantastically reliable, particularly with goths as the presentation is part of the outfit. But shots from the same height can be good too. Or deliberately taken from below for a change. Though sometimes that can miss the point of the outfit!

[ladystardust-xs.livejournal.com]

Wow. Some of those truly are BOOSOOMS OF DOOM.

[reddragdiva]

Hooray for b00bies!
