So today I went to Camden with [livejournal.com profile] zoeiona, [livejournal.com profile] krazykipper and [livejournal.com profile] audrey1nd, ostensibly to buy corsets but also for a general wandering around and sploshing ineffectually through puddles.

It was the first time I've been to Camden and we went to several weird and wonderful shops selling all sorts of beautiful things. I'll definitely have to go back there for an even longer ramble sometime (though preferably when it's not raining!)

Anyway, we went to this lovely little shop called Burleska in the Stables Market, where I, [livejournal.com profile] zoeiona and [livejournal.com profile] audrey1nd all bought some lovely corsets.

My favourite corset-related comment came from [livejournal.com profile] zoeiona, who told me "I know you're pale, but with all that pale skin, you look sort of vampiric." It is true, I am very pale. I am a pale English Rose! With thorns for fangs

Mine is a very simple black underbust corset that looks awesome with my long white shirt and a black chiffon skirt I inherited from my mother. And what kind of fashion-geek would I be without photographs?






(I would like it done tighter, but it is hard to lace up your own corset, yo.)


One of these days I will work out how to set up a proper camera to take outfit pictures with instead of using my mirror. That day is not today.

I've been off work this week which has been lovely. Not only have I had lots of sleep but I have avoided being responsible and grown-up and done a lot of watching TV shows and read books.

This one book in particular you will be interested in, my loves, and I know you will be interested in it because it is called 'The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty: The Erotic Adventures of Sleeping Beauty' and is all about how Prince Charming finds her asleep in her castle, has sex with her unconscious (virgin) body to wake her up then takes her as his BDSM love slave back to his castle where lots of princes and princesses are kept constantly naked as BDSM love slaves and tormented, because apparently this makes you a better ruler. How this works is yet to be explained.

It's one of those books that: a) has to be read to be believed and b) you keep reading even though it seems Anne Rice is really, really into spanking.

Like REALLY. )



I am so tempted to buy volume two you have no idea, mostly because I am a bit sick in the head.


In other news, I am going to try to restart doing a rec for you guys every day, if people would be into that? Here's the first of them anyway!




For those who love witty banter and crazy hijinks and dragons, this fic is for you! A fantastic fusion of Generation Kill with [livejournal.com profile] naominovik's Temeraire series, focussing on Ray and Brad. You don't have to have seen GK to read this fic, or in fact have read Temeraire, though as both are awesome you totally should. Really this fic's main strength is the wonderful characterisation of Ray, who has such potential to be irritating but is instead terribly endearing; also the skill with which the prose is written and the description used is so on-period for the Napoleonic era despite using characters who are quintessentially modern in their outlooks and syntax. Seriously, this is good. Read it!


Carrying Dangerous Goods by [livejournal.com profile] novembersmith. Summary: From the Signal Code of the Royal Navy and His Majesty's Aerial Corps: B, or Bravo -- I am taking in, or discharging, or carrying dangerous goods.
