Let me suggest nameless ghoul(ette) cosplayers look for pajamas with a skeleton on them as a base for their cosplay then decorate it with sparkle fabric paint.

They're more budget friendly, hopefully wear longer, wash easier, and would be kinder to different body types and abilities than a unitard.

About Ghost but counts as the blog for ap 14

Be strong, Ghesties, traumatize them back. When I was in middle school and ready to kill myself (getting out of that environment is what really saved me) being told I was like an empty donut with a hole in my soul that only Jesus could feel would have finished the job.

I already knew I was such a terrible child I had to be replaced and was told to my face by at least one adult or even peers on a regular basis how awful I was.

You kids are lucky these days to have Ghost telling you sour soul is not tainted.

Now remember your manners and don't be the reason we can't have nice things. It's always a surprise when they find out you're the "Satanist".

Like, my Ghost logo key lanyard and its grucifix have been right there for years. Tells you that people really aren't that observant. I mean I've had my Cardinal Plushia out several times and babies love the sad little red man.

And if you're puzzling over a skeleton ghoul costume keep an eye on Walmart, that's where I found pajamas with a skeleton on them. They're a lot easier to manage with different body types and abilities than a unitard. And go for Tulip brand sparkle fabric paint, I have a shirt I did 30 years ago in Tulip that still holds up.

Trying to figure out the names of or authors or be pointed in the right direction to find several books I read as a child-

No exact printing dates but I would have had them in the very early 80s.

A fiction book about a unicorn who sleeps for like 100 years or some other long time and is only awake for a very short amount of time, there's a prince who marries an enchanted straw doll made my an evil magic person (witch or wizard) and the unicorn uses her magic to make the straw doll come alive by taking the life from the flowers in the bride's crown. Pretty sure was a paperback, probably the oldest of the books. Not sure if it had illustrations.

A story about Girl Scouts visiting a farm. The farm is owned by white people, the daughter has never seen a black person, there is a black girl scout she notices. Has illustrations. Possibly from an official GS book.

Assorted stories about a group of kids in a neighborhood or a school. Among the stories are a blind boy winning a newspaper contest because he realizes weathervanes spell out NEWS, four of the girls are caught playing dress up by one of the boys (possibly a red head) who teases them about it, one of the names a girl choses is "Princess Apple Blossom", a bunch of kids climb a tree and a girl helps everyone else climb up but no ones helps her so she falls and breaks her arm, a large dog gets out of its yard and wanders around the city just avoiding trouble and is yelled at by a man who works nights and the dog has woken him up. Might have been in the Girl Scout book and/or an elementary school text book.

Oh look! The donut man came! (and the ghouls are hungry)

Which ghoul do you think will be the first to point out that Duncan is a bagel?

[littlewalken]

Okay long time listeners, I've decided to sell a couple of my Blythe wigs. They're both roughly size 9-10.

The white wig with streaks of pink, yellow, and blue.

Rich purple, not quite eggplant, and silver wig

Gonna say maybe I should have bought that doll case with the interesting art but I also stand by my first and second thought of I have quite a few that I haven't really used and what was I going to do with that. Still tho I should have taken a picture because it had cute art of a young woman sewing on it. Now hopefully by typing it here that will help get it out of my mind and it won't weight on me.

Overall I am very happy with myself as I only spent $30. Most of it went to a Blythe to customize. I was looking at getting one for that purpose somewhere around gift season, half thinking to make her my birthday doll, and considering getting a Middie because I didn't have that size, and by the time I found the hair color I wanted and the custom eye chips we were in $$$ territory so I made myself have a think it over time, played with the Blythe I have, and went meh.

Then yesterday a fully clothed one, the outfit kind of doesn't matter and I might or might not flip that or just give it to a different doll, was there in front of me. Neither of us like her hair, checked at home to see if there was something to use to reroot, ended up ordering a replacement scalp. The one she came with will probably get rerooted eventually. She came with really cheap bright orange hair, I ordered long and black (which I was thinking for the Middie), the wigs I'd harvest to reroot are half pink and half blue. My old one does the half pink and blue but this new girl wants to be goth.

But the surprise was 90210 Jason

That stare the seller called creepy is what made him stand out in the box o'Barbies because if they knew what they had they probably would have wanted more than $5 for him.

Part of me wants to give him a complete make over like I did for, I can't find the before pics I wanted so here's Eddie and Venom

But yeah, I can pull that rabbit out of my ass when I gotta.

Another option is to redo just his eyes. Again finding a before of Anderson is hard but I turned his brown eyes blue. Or I could just touch up his pupils to make them a bit more even.

Still a plastic hunk is a plastic hunk. And hopefully this will help invigorate me on some things I've been meandering on.

And I feel super happy about the things I didn't buy :)

Writing is going well but the current story I'm sort of doing a half copy and half rewrite on will still need some additions when it gets typed up. It'll know when it's ready, I just need it to be more legible.

[littlewalken]

Did not come back from the doll show empty handed but my Ferengi advisor will be I spent less on them than lunch.

Blythe is getting a make over but Jason is so damn handsome he makes all my male dolls aside from Bram and custom Joe Mac angry.

[littlewalken]

For Ghestie string crafters if you have ever made a wingspan shawl or know how to do short rows you can make up a bat wings like Papa's.

Start the panel at the full row length, one side has an even end, the other is stopped a few stitches, 6 is nice, from the edge and you turn around and go back to the start. The next row is 6 stitches short from the previous one and so on making a wing shape.

Then you start again with a full length row and make short rows again, over and over until the wing is how you want it. Bind off then make a matching wing for the other side.

Doll show today and I think Bram, of all dolls, wants to go and see what it's like. He'll fit safely buckled in to the Blythe travel case where everyone can see him without touching.

He likes this picture, the others are like shirt off AI gonna flag this for skin or something, and that's his favorite shirt. I can also never cut his hair, all 20 cm of it.

Hard to believe he's not even... I had to look in the typed up version of my diary as any paper ones from that time got lost years ago, it was 2005. So Bram, Brenna, Kirnan, Guivnu, Louis, and Dauphan are going to be 20 this year. That most have survived without their plastic starting to break down is a miracle.

More writing yesterday and a bit of going out.

If I've never eaten at a particular restaurant ever maybe there's a reason. Someday perhaps we'll figure out how Yoshinoya works but it comes down to even with coupons we're not paying for something that's half cruciferous vegetables I'm unable to eat.

But what I'm proud of is I was able to derail the thought train that was beginning with it being my "fault" we didn't eat there and wanting to end with it giving the smothering unit an excuse not to take me to the doll show. Mostly because when the Life Ruiner was with the family she would have not only had a temper tantrum if we didn't eat where she wanted she also would have gone as far as to do what she could to make sure I couldn't go to anything I wanted to do, like said doll show. So I spent a lot of my life not even looking for anything to go do because I never felt I could.

Now explain to me how not having an iShiny Plus as opposed to a regular iShiny caused you to have DiD because I'd love to be able to switch to some sort of cartoon hotel demon or whatever so in the middle of the night my brain doesn't look thru 40 years of shit to remind me of something it thinks should be the first, last, and only thought I have.

le sigh

Did get inspired to do a more complex version of my nameless ghouls and ghoulettes with the giant cupcake. Just going to watermark the hell out of it before posting. If The Clergy wants it that's one thing.

And I told y'all that the bald eagle chicks enter a fugly lint covered chicken stage.

[littlewalken]

I want to see art of the Nameless Ghouls and Ghoulettes where Aurora is kept in a pocket, bag, or tiny container so she doesn't get squashed and others reacting when they can't find her.

Kind of like a Pussyfoot and Marc Anthony situation.

[littlewalken]

TFW you used to check in on a somewhat well known blog every now and again for what ever reason, they had the occasional thing you didn't agree with but that was okay because people think differently, then the stuff you disagree with starts to outweigh the interesting things you used to go there for, and now it's just become enough is enough but you're not quite at the level of blocking them so you're gonna stop looking at them.

You used to be fun, what happened?

Molded a miniverse teapot and 2 car teacups and there still might be some resin left, I am thinking of combining the left overs in to stripy cups. One cup must have got a bubble in its ear as the tip is forked, so that's the TNR cup lol. Considering making another batch today.

Doing some rewriting too on the latest draft of the Hollywood story. Got to remember I have the sin of knowledge of being there and I need to describe things to people who haven't.

Sort of in a mood where the clinical depression is 'yeah, I'm still here, what' and 'yup, that was practically an autistic melt down back there'. But now I know the endless 'remember when this embarrassing/bad thing happened because I do' thoughts that slam in to me at times are connected to having a melt down so I'm going to try different ways to deal with them.

What, the uwu my alter has autism crowd didn't tell you that? And while we're at it there's a somewhat half toxic positive can't quite figure out if she has autism but appears to work with people who do lady who makes videos that are pretty good but she could offer some tips to help when the autistic person is depressed too.

Going to go outside and real life today but I also have to do things moderately because the doll show is tomorrow and I'll beed my tickets. Even tho I use a walker for times I think I'll be on my feet for awhile I'm more inclined to use my cane because it's a pretty tight space and I'll be able to maneuver easier.

Still hoping to come home empty handed so I'll take a giant tote with me. Usually when I take a giant tote it comes home empty and when I don't take one I need it, lol.

More rewriting today.

The reason Richard Chamberlain and Christopher Gabel feel like a couple in The Slipper and the Rose is because they already played one in Ken Russell's movie about Tchaikovsky called The Music Lovers from 1971.

[littlewalken]

Like a closeted Richard Chamberlain drowning in a sea of pussy.

No more shrimp either T_T. Part of my morning routine when I got my second cup of coffee was to have a "shrimp count" where I'd look in the fish tank to see how many shrimp I could find. Would have been easier if most of the fish weren't in the way following me around the tank acting like second breakfast was a thing.

Copied over the DS9 story and where the core idea is somewhat interesting and it could go somewhere I'm not sure now if this particular draft is it. It's only about 8 pages. Right now it's in the binder not hurting anything.

Definitely got overwhelmed at blend in with the humans club yesterday and I don't feel like I got a fully restful nights sleep so today might be for hibernating.

Decided I'm going to make the Harry Potter Honeydukes sweets. The potions display nicely without being made up but unless my dolls go full Willy Wonka they'll look better done up. No big hurry, I'll get to them as I get to them, got cat tea sets to make too.

A phrase to use somewhere- "___ was drowning in a sea of pussy like a closeted Richard Chamberlain."

And this is coming from someone who has yet to see more than half an episode of Dr Kildare or The Thorn Birds (not sure if its my thing) but I just watched The Slipper and The Rose again last night and I have his Man in the Iron Mask when I'm ready.

Wayne Sleep is definitely Cinderella's coachman in TSATR, on the bridge and in the driver's seat where his feet don't or barely reach the floor, but not in the frog head and not at the arrival at the ball when there's actual horses. If you notice only two sets, both which could be in the same studio, not on location in the outside with a B unit have horses in that movie.

Long story short if you can't see an actor's face on a horse or driving horses it's probably their horse riding/handling double for safety and union reasons. There's a grip on the other end of Wayne's reigns and several others pushing/pulling the coach to get it going.

Also wondering if I'm going to do the next drafts of some of the longer stories in cursive because it's easier on my hand. I just need to make it a bit more legible, to humans, because the tablet can't even read my printing.

And I almost had a "if you say something about how I hold my pen I'll stab you with it" moment yesterday. My first 4th grade teacher isn't around to tell you how much it hurts.

Mkay, I have all 3 of the Harry Potter potions rare sets unopened in trade for the 3 Honeydukes rare sweets, or if I find those in the wild some other set of rare surprises I want. Can throw in a spare unopened leech juice.

I am also wanting to slow down in preparation for stopping, outside the Honeydukes, my surprise ball plastic crack buying. Altho I spent the years inbetween buying Rement by the carton and this accumulating Monster High dolls, then books, as I have gained more and more of an understanding of why I do these things I'd like to find an even cheaper way to play cheaper than therapy if you know what I mean.

On the writing side I found a delicious couple of ideas for Grease 2 that were being worked on in the free writing book. A bit of refinement and they'll give all the females with masked man things lady boners.

Note to self make a venn diagram for leather, masks, and monster fuckers to explain this movie.

If you don't get it the movies with boobs and explosions club is next door.

But there's boobs in The Slipper and the Rose.

Heaving Georgian costume drama bosoms being ignored by the gay prince who has the hots for his man at arms are different. FtM aside every female in the back of her mind has wished at least once in her life to know what it's like to have her bosom properly heaving.

Or at least removable when they get in the way.

I also have a DS9 idea that I'm probably going to copy rather faithfully from the free writing notebook then see if I can do something with it in its current state or work it in to something else.

There's a high possibility it could get posted as is to see if anyone else wants to work on it.

[littlewalken]

I think I figured out what Wayne Sleep does in The Slipper and The Rose, he's definitely the male mouse, all the others are female on pointe, and he's no taller than they are.

Pretty sure he's also the frog/coachman because the steps are right up his alley, the calves are thick, and alone or in the driver's seat you can't see how small he is.
