Weekend review: Crystal, Karen, Rogues, Rewiring

I had a full weekend. Sat, I got some quality Crystal time. We saw The Cinderella story (a delightful piece of fluff), shopped for lighting ideas and in general got a chance to hang. Karen made it home in time to hook up with me and reduce the number of cars needed, so I got a little Karen time as we rushed off to get ready for a party.

The main event for the night was the Annual Parliament of the Rogues. I have been very excited about the costume for this party. It is something I have been working on collecting for about two years and managed to finish A WEEK before the party (I normally and doing final touches the day of so this is impressive). It is based on a character Jenna Elfman did for the movie Can’t Hardly Wait. She was a “dancer” that was dressed as an angle. The hardest component to get my hands on was a gold bikini. Once that was accomplished, the rest of it was easy since I started with an inflatable lute. There appeared to be a trend of rogue-ish innocence at this year’s event. I don’t know if I noticed it because I was part of it or if it really was a trend but we had a delightful Dorothy (Wizard of Oz), a Heidi (the little Dutch girl), and an Angel. There were some other really sweet costumes and a lot of very lovely people. I got some delightful attention and got to talk to cool people. Good party. (wow, I even got the pictures up on the site already) .

I got home very late and when I got up, I headed out again to help a friend rewire his house. He seems to think I have a clue and by rubbing our clues together, we should be able to figure out how to run new power and data lines. We managed to get something done. I got very tired and very frustrated. I can do it but not very well. It is like changing my car’s oil. I know how to do it and can do it and it is so worth paying someone else to do it for me.

I got home in time to go to bed again. This upcoming week is a tad packed as well. I will be fully enjoying what down time I have.

  1. Hello again…

    …I see from your website that you attend a lot of PEERS events. Did you by any chance attend the “Dangerous Beauty” event last year?

    Just curious, as I was there…

    1. Re: Hello again…

      I have stopped going to PEERS because I find them rather boring of late. But I was at the Dangerous Beauty Ball. I think it might have been my last PEERS event.

      1. Re: Hello again…

        I quite agree. I was expecting something more in “period” to the era in which Victoria Franco lived…alas, such an adventurous and playful spirit was not present, methinks.

        But such is my nature…would that it could have been more as it was billed.

  2. Angle Pix

    Finally got around to looking at your pix. HAD to see just how you were going to dress as an angle and what type of angle a “dancer” would be and how it involved a gold bikini.

    Fun pix and you look quite angelic :-)
