Because I know some of you want to see how I turned out as a pirate:
Words may follow later, but for now, I had a great weekend, and need to go to bed :)
A quick note about the paddle (weapon of choice) – the theme was Naughty and Nautical :) If you want one of your own, you can get pink paddles from the little costumes area (you know, with the naughty nurse outfits and barely-there teddies) from Bras n Things. You don’t even have to venture beyond you local Westfield!

Just finishing tidying the house etc and getting my pirate costume together to head up to Sydney.
We’ve managed to arrange to meet up with a friend from High School which will be nice :)
I’m still not feeling 100% – when I went to bed last night I think the anitibiotic reacted with me and I felt like vomiting but.. not quite. So I just felt crap for awhile. Rish is getting me some cold and flu tablets too (real ones, with pseudoephedirine), because my nose has been running like a tap this morning. Don’t worry, I’m not combining too many medications – the anitbiotics are over, I’m now just taking dactarin for the oral thrush that I’ve gotten by stuffing my body around with anitibiotics. Yes, a new trouble to have. So much fun.
Back to it next week. I will be healthy, get to the gym each day, work each day, go to my Japanese class (had to miss the one on Thursday :( ) and just be a normal human being again.
But I have to be a pirate now. A pink one. Arrghhh :p

So, I’ve found my inspiration for a costume:
So far I have:
- A cheap black skirt to cut a jagged edge on
- My pink/black corsetty lacey top
- Black boots
- Silver hoops
- Black nail polish
- Black fishnets
- Hot pink fishnets (because I thought I might try them. If they look crap, I’ll wear black. ?layers)
- A metre of black satin
- A metre of Hot pink satin
- A new hot pink bra and blank and hot pink undies
I still need the piratey bits and pieces, like swords and eye patch and a hat. But Someone at work is bringing her kids’ pirate stuff in tomorrow and I can use that.
Should I make emo punk wristbands/gloves from the satin? Most of it will be used to sash around my waist… hehe. I’m having fun… it should turn out reasonable :) Forget the ugly baby mermaid, I’m a pirate!
