But I look better in lipstick than I think I do.

Not a very good climbing night tonight, but not a terribly bad one either. Tried six walls, climbed three (which I had climbed before) failed on one I've done before, couldn't even get onto a fourth, and made a good start on the sixth (one on the barrel vault I've been eyeing for a while) but was too burned out to make it up it. I think I know how to make the next move, though, and when I come back from traveling, if I haven't lost every bit of ground I've gained, maybe I will send it.

Again, this extra weight can come off any damned day now. Because I think I would be a pretty good climber by now if I were oh, sixty pounds lighter.

Come on, meatpuppet, get with the program here. This will hurt less if you just cooperate.


Some photos from WisCon. (Not mine)

The Spider Women of Queso Grande invade the Tiptree auction.

Sarah Monette and the demoness that possesses her.

It's hard to look stern and imposing when Space Babe is hosing you down with a supersoaker. 

No. Really hard. 

There are no good shots of Amanda Downum as the S.S. Librarian, alas, but this one kind of shows her costume. (As you can probably guess, we kind of had a pan-European Evil Colonialists thing going, complete with Terrible Movie Villainess accents. Notice my stylin' Valkyrie pigtails. Sarah was the French femme fatale, and Leah the Conquistadora. Come to think of it, La Conquistadora is a completely bitchin' supervillain name.)

Space Babe victorious!

Death by cheesehead!

Totally awesome shot of Leah Bobet and her totally awesome Girl Detective hat.

Spider Women in defeat.

This is all actually [info]coffeeem's fault. Though I'm sure she'd never admit to it.

We're all wearing corsets, with some sort of blouse device underneath them. It was our Unifying Supervillain Theme.

Bring your corsetry. *g* We're always recruiting. And we don't have a silver-haired vixen!

We could use a little ethnic diversity, too....

The Tiptree auction is one of the funnest evenings in SF fandom.

That is likely to have been the best sentence I'll have read all week.

It was a chance remark! An idle comment! Is it my fault that it's never safe to make those anywhere that [info]klages might hear them? *g*

You guys look to have been seething with win! (Eeeeville win. Eeeeeeeville.)

Hooray corseted evil! When I grow up I want to do that. (Well, the 'on stage' part. I already do evil and wear corsets. Not infrequently while wielding a riding crop! And I try to keep the accents to a minimum, although when britgeekgrrl and I get drunk it's all downhill to London.)

And because I saw this and thought that you needed to know:

You look pretty good now.

There are all sorts of other reasons to lose weight, but combine running and climbing and losing weight, and you may need your own supersoaker, for self-defense.

(Have a look at [info]retrofuturepunk for ideas.)

Who cares how I look? My strength/weight ratio sucks, and that's what matters.

Corsets + Superheroines = Win.

I am totally biased in my opinion. Of course.

I also have several corset patterns and leather... totally.biased.

Wow. I bet a leather corset would be SWEAT CITY.

You all look great in your corsets, and How Much Fun did that look like? That color really suits you, ma'am.

I want a corset. I don't know where to buy one. I think it would have to be actually fitted to be right, right?

I bought mine off the rack from a guy who comes to Convergence. So you never know.

Also, you can order them online, to your measurements.

By "demons" I assume you mean "bosoms," and by "her" you mean "anyone who sees them."

I, for one, welcome our Mammary Overlords.

I covet your corset.

Now that I have proper boobies, I would very much like a corset.

(hard to justify the purchase though. I can't imagine there would be many opportunities to wear it and I wouldn't get away with it "at work" *g*).

I only get to wear mine a few times a year. Which is sort of sad, because it's very comfortable.
