Dec. 8th, 2013 02:02 pmSo I . . .
dressed in mid-century vintage go to on the Nostalgia Subway Ride with some of my steampunk buddies this morning. (And realized I need a lot more 20s in my wardrobe as well.) early-mid 20th century subway cars -- and ads -- live music, and lots of people dressed in outfits ranging from the 20s through Mad Men. Most of mine was random 50s-MadMen60s that my mom and aunt have given me, plus a vintage-style skirt from one of my beloved out-of-business indie designers/shopkeepers. And I really enjoyed the red lipstick and liquid eyeliner - I don't do that often enough.
Got a new couch and a new bookcase, which make the place seem a lot more finished. We bought the last one about 7 years ago at a thrift store, so it wasn't new then, and compared to the new one, I now realize that the old one feels a lot like sitting on a park bench. (We're putting it out later to be picked up by the building Monday morning.) And it's nice to have the last of the books off the floor -- we finally got sick enough of boxes that we piled them up against the wall, but it was still piles . . .
Decorated for Christmas. Earlier than I usually do it, but since we'll be away and since M is a little blue, we went ahead and put up lights on the terrace, and got our tree out. I'm daring to put up ornaments this year -- non-breakable ones and on the top 2/3rd only -- because we've kept acquiring cats, it's been year after year of lights-and-star only.
