[livejournal.com profile] brown_betty wrote me a fic from this prompt (tangent: because honestly, now that's in your head, can you THINK of anything else? If anyone else asks me for a prompt in the next week they're getting pointed to this photo. I'm still drooling.) and I luuuuuurve it. Firefly, gen: Still, to be Neat; Still to be Drest. I love this woman's prompting of appreciation and feedback, and I hope our fandoms overlap enough to get to know each other a bit, but the only times I've been in a comic book shop to buy anything for myself EVER I was there for the Firefly. That's all, alas.

Also? GIP. For the very first time ever appearing in this LJ, the beauteous [livejournal.com profile] trikakeep has made me a pimping hat icon. *loves like it's going out of style* The only thing better would be hundreds of different hats, seriously. I LOVE my pimp hat. With PLUME! *glee* I have been reccing like a mad reccing thing this weekend and it makes me unreasonably happy to have the appropriate zebra print hat with plume for the occasion.

See the heel? Totally danceable. And these would be my lucious new tango shoes (I set the camera on the floor)

See the pretty colors? Ooooooh, pretty. That's black suede and tan leather.
My POV so you can see the top (don't look at the floor, lookit my shoes!)
No, I don't dance pigeon-toed, I dunno why I stood like that.

So I took my shoes out dancing today, and they are worth the somewhat shockingly high price I paid for them. Apparently American shoe companies just don't get the need for a stable dancing heel on their shoes, so you have to get the Argentine shoes, and then, you know, importing fees, yadda.

Whatever, I love my shoes. And they felt like soft buttered leather dancing. I have not a single blister, not a red spot (and I have temperamental feet. They get blisters if I paint the toenails a funny color) and I danced non-stop for 3.5 hours (too much math? Round up to 4 if you want). My posture was better, my balance improved, and dammit, my feet looked good! It's all about having the right tools for the job, I tell you. Also? Some pretty pretty dance partners today. Mmmmmm. They had nice shoes too. Yes they did, but not as nice as mine.

I've yet to have my photo taken with my new 'specs, so those will have to wait, and I cropped the photo before you got a close up view of the scars from the lovely Thanksgiving dog-biting incident, or you'd eventually have a full body image of me going on here. Lucky you!

Lastly, y'all know the Isis Awards are open for voting, right? Go! Read the secondary 'ships (not Sam/Jack, not Wier/Sheppard. EVERYONE ELSE IS SEXIN' IT UP HERE, FOLKS) vote for the imaginative authors! Cookies for everyone!

Aw, thanks! I am so excited about the pimping hat icon it's silly. I forget who started it (but I think? it was cofax) by saying that they felt like they ought to get me one because I said nice things about their fic. Awwwwww, says I, I would LOVE a pimping hat! But it was really just a rhetorical sort of offer. Alas.

And then trika found me one. *glee*

Those shoes were totally worth the price. I love them.
