MEEERRY FUCKIN' CRASSMAS!

[reddragdiva]

Tonight we put up our tree and its GAY GAY GAY decorations, including a rainbow-striped mirror ball (possibly the GAYEST object I have EVER seen in my life. You could put this object in the most HETEROSEXUAL space in the WORLD and it would instantly make it OUT, LOUD, PROUD and QUEEAH!), a silver tinsel penguin and a fluffy girly shoe. The decorations were bought from The Pier in Tottenham Court Road and BHS in Oxford Street for about thirty quid, the tree from Argos for £6.74. And it's plastic, but sheds authentically. Lights donated by ewtikins. Tinsel (pink, purple and silver, of course) ordered online and on its way.

Tree pics from Adam's keyring-cam, better shots when available:

I just bought Liz a television too. 28" widescreen. How's that for tr00 luv. Arrives Friday. The DVD and VCR will have to wait until she returns!

We also got our first Tesco Online order. They didn't fuck it up, and there were two reasonable substitutions. So here's to Tesco Brent Park.

Unfortunately the shots are rather dark, so we can't see quite how gay the tree is. Is it the gayest gay tree that ever minced into a living room? Is it a total nancy-boy of a tree, trilling out "Hello Sailor" to every passing male? ;-)

The tree itself isn't, but it certainly has ambitions in that direction. That rainbow mirror ball ... I must get a daylight shot of this object. It really is the GAYEST FUCKING OBJECT I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Just tried fixing the shots in Gimp ... unfortunately, they're just crap shots and I can't do much for them. But they're slightly better than nothing for now.

As I'm assembling the tat Sean's getting more and more edgy. Poor petal.

I just squealed 'Rainbow Stripe Mirror Ball'. He's scared.

He should be. £2.95 (I think - not in the catalogue) from The Pier. BwAAAhahaha etc.

I may well have to make a pilgrimage to what I assume is a palace of wonders. :)

IT IS! IT IS!

Really. ali_anarres dragged me in there a couple of months ago. I fell in love with half the shop. (And in disgust with the other half.) It's just opposite Goodge St tube. You will need a bigger house to fit everything in.

Yes. We have a Pier in Bristol. Their xmas stuff *nearly* made me go out and buy a tree and everything this year.

But I can't get over my loathing of fake trees, and a real tree would be potentially dangerous to the animals, and I'm really lazy, so as usual it didn't happen.

I might go back and get some of the seasonal candles though.

We have those mirror ball ornaments here too and I agree, they are the gayest. Since I am a vanilla kind of girl I envision a tree full of the solid silver ones and pictures of half naked men. Or something.

I think I see Orion's belt in your tree...

We have one of those tree - it sheds like a bugger!

You can't really see the decorations very well, but your description of them made me laugh lots. I am being stuanch this year. No Christmas decorations anywhere near my house, no tree. Your gay decorations sound like much more fun than my non decorations
