All Girl Entertainment

jhameiaBeing a girl is a source of ambivalance to me. Because sometimes, I really just wanna kill other girls. Self-surbodination, subservience, Stepford Wife Syndrome, sexual repression - but mainly the silly little headgames and the vanity - they all piss me off so bad.
That said, I do enjoy all-girl entertainment. FemFest was one such night in question, but tonight was even better: Oh! Beautiful! Majestic! Eagle! and the Stolen Minks were so great, and Pink Velvet Burlesque called me their Number Two fan tonight, which makes me feel better about myself right now.
Considering that I didn't have any female company, just Sean and Matthew (how does this even work? Where are all my female friends? What's wrong with us girls?), I had a great time talking to the burlesque girls - Mistress Molotov was selling pasties she'd made to raise money for her tour. I didn't know (I thought Cadence had made them) and when Stephanie / Oliver Hugh told me, I was like "!!! I'll take the one with feathers." Mistress M was so pleased, she told me, "I have to get a picture of you wearing them now."
It pays off to overcome shyness and just say hello. It also pays off to remember faces. I'm so glad my dad made me learn how to remember shit when I was younger - sure, I have a lot of trivia stuck in my head now, but still, it helped - I recognized one of the band members of Majestic Eagle from my Epic class this summer. Kinda ran into her at the washroom, really, and I was struck by how familiar she was. Adam from the Crimson Tides (that punk band I always seem to go see) and his bandmate Adam (how cute is that?) were there too - it was a really good time.
Despite the beginning depression of the night and my worries that Matthew wouldn't enjoy himself, it turned out to be a really good night and I'm happy with it. Matthew totally changed his mind about not coming out to the show on Saturday night - he totally has to make it now.
Yeah, Stella, if you have Sean's jacket, let him know 'cos he's really sore about losing it. Fewl needs to stop forgetting his shit all over the place, roffles.
It's a really good ending to a really shitty day, in general, having this sort of entertainment. I went to MicMac Mall with the express purpose of finding a blouse so I could cosplay Tifa for Halloween, but when I got home, I found out her blouse is sleeveless, and her shoes are brown. Considering that there wasn't a dollar store there at MicMac, it was a complete waste of my time in general and I'm still kinda pissy about it.
I still need to buy goodybag stuff because I want to do that. I'm also looking for giant dice to cosplay Rabi En Rose (more on this later).
But you know? After Pink Velvet's acts, Simon, the organizer, said, "Okay guys! Catch the bra and bring it right here when you do! First person here gets a $20 coupon from Venus Envy!"
Guess who caught it?
