Anything Goes December
The Muppet Christmas Carol / Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens
It's been well documented that the costumes in this movie are more detailed and accurate than they have any right to be, including (or especially) on the Muppet characters. Here is Gonzo as Charles Dickens in all his glory. Look at his patterned waistcoat! His beautifully fitted greatcoat and top hat! His striped socks, which don't even show unless the trouser legs are specially pulled up! And just imagine being in the workshop chuckling to yourself while creating this costume, assuming nobody but you and a few costume nerd friends would ever notice the level of craftsmanship, unaware that large portions of this newfangled thing called the internet would be squeeing over them thirty years later. Ann Hollowood and Polly Smith, I salute you.

Anything Goes December Emerald City - East (Florence Kasumba)
I haven’t seen this show, but stumbling across this costume has sparked my curiosity. It looks so cool in motion! The feathers around the collar look great and create a dramatic silhouette. I’m not sure if those are gloves or jewellery, but they look amazing.

Brand new money making scheme from giant Käärijä: ...a kissing booth?
Let's do something fun 🙌 askbox is OPEN from now until February 15th!
Rules:
Go to my askbox and send one or more characters who would like a kiss 😙
(optional) if you want, you can specify what kind of kiss it will be (e.g. on the cheek, on the hand, air kiss, etc.)
On February 14th I will answer the asks by drawing all the kisses!
#it will be more comedy than romance if you can't tell#this will be super silly i promise ✌️#you can send the same character more than once. anything goes as long as it's fun#let's see if he earns more than in december#käärijä#giant k kisses#<- there is a tag too#bruh sorry if it ended kinda dry sounding. im not feeling it today#boohoo 😩#art by op#my art

Omg it would be way easier if my bff just ignored me and changed the subject but instead I have to wait like a week for him to just say “that sucks wtf” to my rant 🤦
#AUUUGGHHHH like we’re always in a conversation and he will be ranting and then it’s my turn to rant.LMAOO and then he just goes completely#silent.. EVERY TIME I THINK ITLL BE DIFFERENT TOO 😭 we’ll#ok to be fair he’s more thorough when he does respond like he’s not dismissive. but like. why does it have to take so long. T_T#and then I just end up not telling him anything about my life so he has no idea what I’m doing what’s going on lol#then I get comfortable enough to tell him stuff and the same thing happens.. AUUUGHHHH BUDDY#this sucks so bad. it’s been like this for over a year too but especially since december#I guess it’s fine I’ll find more friends but I’ve known him since I was 11 so I’m allowed to be sad..ok..#it kind of makes me feel like even more of a loser sometimes 💀 he’s very normal now. we have the same roots but he’s like.. well adjusted.#idk. so it kinda makes me insecure too which is sooooo stupid 🤦

My mom: *telling me how she's only done what's best for her kids*
Me: *reminds her of a time when she absolutely did the worst for us because it benefitted her more than not doing it would have*
My mom: You have such a creative memory! Wow! You're gaslighting me! This is abuse!
#parental abuse#abuse#bad parenting#bad parent#trauma#childhood trauma#literally this started because she refuses to remember that she sold my water bed for crack money#like. that was the only bed I've ever had that didn't make my back hurt while i slept.#and she sold it. for crack.#and she's all bullshit that never happened!#and so i ask her about like two other shitty things she did and never apologized for#and she pulls out her new favorite word - gaslighting - which she learned from some dumbfuck tv show she's been watching#but when i ask her if she even knows what that means she goes see that's gaslighting!#like. no. gaslighting is telling me things i (and my siblings!!) have a vivid memory of never happened.#trying to act like i have no business being mad at her is#acting as if I'm being dramatic. that my childhood was normal. that not having food or power and living in a crack hoise is average.#i cannot wait to get out of here in december. only 18 long weeks to go!#if i ever have to live with her again I'll kill myself. these two years have been worse for my mental health than anything ever.#I'm a whole ass adult yet I'm not allowed to so much as leave the house without her demanding to know where I'm going.#i have to lie to her if I'm going to see my bald dude (rare. but if it happens) or else she gets pissed at me for seeing people???#but if i say I'm visiting friends (not entirely a lie) she'll accuse me of going and doing gay shit?#because apparently being queer is the worst thing your kid can be in her mind#that i haven't kicked the shit out of her has to be some sort of testament to my patience as a person right?

One Dress a Day Challenge
Anything Goes December
The Taming of the Shrew / Costume for Elizabeth Taylor as Katharina Minola(?)
I'm tremendously curious about this gown. It appeared in an exhibit titled "Glamour: Famous Gowns of the Silver Screen" in Finland in 2020. FrockFlicks did a a fine writeup of the exhibit in which they dubbed this the "unicorn dress." But it doesn't appear in the actual film!
It looks like an alternate version of the wedding dress, possibly intended to make Katharina match more closely with Petruchio's outlandish multicolored costume--but that's just a guess. If it wasn't used, why was it constructed? And was it designed by Irene Sharaff, who did Elizabeth Taylor's other gowns for this film, or by Danilo Donati, who designed everyone else's costumes?

Anything Goes December Dita Von Teese
Regardless of how the marriage turned out, Dita’s dress from her wedding to Marilyn Manson is stunning. I love the vibrant, iridescent fabric. It looks like shot silk or something like it. The volume of the skirt is gorgeous, and I love the little tricorn hat!

i'm going to destroy this damn phone
- the boss avoider
#long vent / rant on tags open at your own risk#straight up turned off my phone and put teams on do not disturb because i was TRYING TO WORK and kept getting interrupted by his whining#(he particularly said he needed me to work [read: be at the office. december 22.] while hindering my ability to do so !!!)#like the job is lame and boring and all but as much as i bitch about it i overall don't mind it that much#i was on a nice roll. think i finished this first website draft in record time (it's not very complicated but still. just 2 days)#and i stg i never have any problems with my project heads yknow. it's not a matter of being bad at receiving orders or w/e#and regardless of what he might say the communication problems are not on my end. bc again it doesn't happen w anyone else#i brought it up with him and he said 'well communication is a two way street you have to do it too' but tell me how can i talk to this man#i misunderstand a message he sends bc he never ever details what he wants even after i specifically asked him to yknow#tell me the whole information when he asks something of me#and then i respond based on the message i received and he goes 'well show me where i said that' FUCK YOU#he's always so passive aggressive about it all too#like if you say 'we have to look at the marketing materials to make new social media posts' and then. not tell me anything else#how am i supposed to know that there's a specific folder and you want me to take the text previously written and put it on new images#like that's a whole other sentence my guy you cannot be mad that i thought you wanted me to scour your social media and#make new posts whole cloth. fuck right off i have to put in my notice bc it's impossible to work under a man like this#like forgive me for the expression but he absolutely lacks leadership skills#if you're not good with people you should just delegate those parts to people who are and focus on reading about the metav3rse#GOD. i'll soon be sent to the seaside for my health (new years trip w my friends) but. i won't be on break at all so :grimace:#because there's that too. haven't had a single break except for holidays but like. only the DAY of the holiday#holiday on a thursday and you're expecting a nice four day weekend? well too bad get fucked you're working that friday#like jesus you're not providing anything so important you need to work your employees every legally allowed day of the year#just stop for the holidays! people won't die because someone's website has been delayed for two weeks!#to think i even considered learning frontend to branch my career options. i'm not stepping foot in a tech company again in my life#i mean there's still self important bosses everywhere. my friend's at a marketing agency and god knows the owner is crazy but#the grindset is gonna kill you and i won't let it kill me too.

Wide awake at 5 AM stressing about money.
#Ahahaha. Hahaha.#Bills?? Bills.#Mortgages and condo fees and vet bills and more vet bills and food prices#Insurance and taxes and no incoming income.#EI barely giving anything and no callbacks for any jobs#Savings depleting#And I know I should cancel my damn dance lessons but they make me happy#They get me out of the house fuckingg DOING something other than crying in the dark#Even if I can’t afford them.#God I am just.#I am so close to having to beg for money like.#I didn’t think it would take me? this long to find a new job.#I have applied to so many and had professionals look over my resume but I am either overqualified or? Not the right fit I guess.#And cursed. The few times I get any callbacks something outside of my control goes wrong.#God but even the jobs I apply for don’t have great money and I just. Fuck#I don’t know what to do. And no one hires in December so I just have to hope January brings SOMETHING but.#I am just so stressed. I cannot sleep. It is all just hitting.#If I didn’t have a roommate I would have sunk months ago but I just. I just.#I wish I was an artist so I could do art commissions. So that I could do something.#All I can offer in exchange for money are fics people don’t read#And professional editing I guess but there are few people who would pay for that in fandom spaces.#Anyway. What a massive failure I am. Ny younger sister is now talking about going to law school and she’d be so much better at being#A lawyer than I ever was but also fuck I don’t want her to go for such selfish reasons because it highlights how much of a fucking#Waste I am. And I am. I can’t get anything and my prospects suck because the idea of going back to private practice law makes me want to??#Die really. Fuck. FUCK I don’t know what to do I am being left behind I am running out of money#text#Chey.txt

#tuesday new releases#juggling dr appointments is getting to me - there's a reason i tell them i don't want to schedule anything during 'holiday'#it's been rainy and cool here and thus work has been bonkers bc people have nothing better to do#than shopping and hanging out with a warm beverage - plus the kids will be entertained#i swear ecery time tge weather gets 'wintery' our business goes up bc people like feeling as though they're in a movie#and bustling around wearing sweaters and jackets while carrying armfuls of shopping and packages just 'feels right'#or something#but we were not staffed to be busy like december at the current time and i am so tired (and sore)#lots of literary bio/memoirs this year for some reason mcmurtry bradbury orwell now tolkien#i wonder if i could offer gifting advice just based on new stuff?#like i cannot tell you what's a 'good' book bc tastes vary so much but if you want suggestions based on someone's interests#i'd be happy to look out for new books they won't have already read#hardcovers seem to realky be getting a push this year - idk if it's to make up for printing costs going up#or if this is just the first real wave of 'back to business post-pandemic' - publishing moves sloowly most of the time y'all#i will say that if you like fungi or birds or stuff about space or unique memoirs this is a banner year#i'm recommending the hidden language of cats to everyone who has the slightest interest lol#but like if you want military memoirs they're thinner on the ground for example#anyway feel free to ask me about new stuff - i am the last person to tell you if this vs that historical romance is better#but i'm okay at pointing out new arrivals you might never have noticed on your own
