Alex. Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 New life goal: getting Alex to wear a tiara like a brunet Lady Di. :PWell she is probably my closest contemporary in both charity work and compassion towards others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elder Sister Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think costumes are fun. Unfortunately I have no skill, and thus always end up the person in the elevator who people ask if she's there for the Home and Garden show. Or at least that happened to me in Anaheim and I considered it a success this year when someone sat next to me on the plane thinking I was also going to Worldcon, even though I was asleep. :uhoh:Still, though, should I make it to London it will probably be in one of the 298332784 BWB t-shirts I now own. My general style is "boring", although you people know how I feel about dressing up for the Hugos. Red carpet, people. My people at home are dead convinced now that they truly are the Oscars of science fiction.Yeah, exactly. I always look like I'm attending an aging rock groupie or stoner soccer mom convention. Whatever. If I show up at LonCon, I'm doing good. I will have lots of sparkle (just because I like it) but I'm not wearing a corset, or anything else tight, for that matter. If I find some cheap and awesome Elvis stuff I might do that, but I doubt it. I hate rules as a general rule (heh heh) and will generally do the opposite of what is suggested, just because I'm ornery. :P So if we're all doing elaborate costumes, I'm liable to come in my sweatpants and Lynyrd Skynyrd t-shirt.

Baitac Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well she is probably my closest contemporary in both charity work and compassion towards others.I'm pretty sure AlexT will don a tiara if I offer him one. After all we are old buddies from the BWB meet in London for "A Puerto Rican goes to London" pubfest extravaganza. Had I known then what I know now, tiaras would have been dispensed then too. I need to specifically crown my hero Prince Mountain Goat for all he did to set that up. I can't wait to see my London friends again (plus Pod).

We have to go out for dinner or something :DNo tiaras or sparkles for me - my style is generally boring too. T-shirts and leggings, that'll do me. My nose stud technically sparkles, that counts right? :PMy mum announced that she will be buying both mine and the boyfriend's memberships by the end of the month as an early pressie. Keen!

Alex. Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 And you're alive, which gives you the edge. Very good point. Prince Philip hasn't ordered the SAS/UN to kill me yet. I don't have James Hewitt in my boot though so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angalin Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Too much?Hey, when I first heard the news, I thought she'd done an Elvis. :dunno:Anyway, the takeaway from all this is that you have a tiara in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
