Der Zug

The train station from which I depart every morning. Beautiful, no?

My young grasshopper

No really, it was an actual grasshopper. On the inside of our room on the 3rd floor. O.o?

Malaysia 2010

Last year, my father, mother, brother and I all went to Malaysia. It was a farewell holiday thing for my brother and I because we're both leaving home this year (I'm coming back next year, but that's not really relevant).
Malaysia was super exciting, but I'll write a whole blog post about it. These are just some of the photos from it. (I didn't take the elephant and market photos, but they have earned their way here anyway). Click the link below to view the album ;)

Well.. what MIRANDA sees

I didn't even see this one. Miranda took it. But it counts as a pretty darn good photo. This happens to be my new underbust corset. Not what I expected at all. The fabric itself is LIKE satin (so is metallic looking) and has no shape-maintaining material within it. It isn't pinstriped at all, it's just small stripes. It sits wonky on a slight tilt to the right. The boning in it is quite a weak material, I think it may be just a thick plastic sort of thing. The lacing is RIBBON of all things, not a stronger string or anything. It's not reinforced around the bust or the hips. It hardly cinches at all, so it's making my waist look WIDER than it is. AND there is no modesty flap. Other than that, I quite like it.

 

It's not really as good as it looks (me thinks I'll invest in a quality $170 one), but I don't mind it. Once I get a proper skirt and blouse I can make it a little more steampunk looking. I will - of course - also be getting it tailored so it actually cinches my waist. If anything, it makes me look fatter than usual (you know, instead of the skinnier that people so often expect of slimming clothing)

Photos from the same day as Ryan

Yeah so I took a bunch of photos this one day, and these are just a few of the good ones.

Alex and Dara chatting

 

Dylanthropod. Smooth.

SO lucky to have this one. He put his hand up about half a second after I took it. I LOVE this one.

Natural shots are the best. It's a known fact.
