Let’s see… The last couple of days I’ve caught up with some of the household paperwork and made some more progress on painting the peacock dress. Also put in an order for the last volume of Gankutsuou and volume 5 of Kaleido Star: New Wings from Amazon. I usually only collect a couple of anime series at a time and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for what I could check out next since I’m almost done with these two.
I find I usually tend to prefer shojo but don’t like things focused too much on romance. Also, I’m not really into sci-fi and not a big fan of action stuff. I tend to like series with continuing plotlines over more episodic ones and I love pretty artwork. ^_^ Some of the series I like are The Twelve Kingdoms, Kaleido Star, Fruits Basket, Witch Hunter Robin, and Gankutsuou. I’ve already tried Fushigi Yugi because of the similar setting to Twelve Kingdoms but found it too romance-y for my taste. I’ve also seen the first volume of Revolutionary Girl Utena and didn’t care for how it was animated even though I loved the manga. Suggestions, anyone?
And I finally got my old evening gown out of the closet and fixed the zipper so I’ll have something to wear for that wedding reception I’m supposed to go to on Saturday. I made this several years ago, back in late 2000 or early 2001, so the inside is kind of messy although it looks decent on the outside. I broke the zipper a few years ago and was lazy about fixing since there aren’t many occasions I need a fancy gown for. So, it’s just been hanging in my closet since then. >_>; Here’s a picture of it. Don’t mind the clutter in the background… Cleaning obviously isn’t one of my talents. ^_^;;
The gold brocade is one of my favorites out of all the fabrics I’ve sewn things with and I still have a few yards of it stashed away somewhere. I’ve been wondering if I could incorporate it into a costume sometime. It sort of makes me think of Celes’s opera dress from FFVI but I doubt there’s enough left for a big poofy gown.
