Shopping Therapy

[fluffymark]

Pootled along to the Vegan Christmas market at Kensington town hall today, which was nice, if a bit overcrowded with fluffy hippy lesbians. Picked up a pair of very fluffy and warm polar boots, which will be ideal for Moscow. Yay! My toes are now safe from turning blue and dropping off. Then on the way to my favourite spice shop located just off portobello road, I spotted the prettiest velvet coat ever in a shop, and despite it being stupidly expensive, I first tried it on, and then bought it! I now look very pretty, and I’m told its very very me! And there’s something about spending huge amounts of money that makes me feel giddy and happy. Yaaaaay. *bounces*

CATS last night was incredible - it always keeps me enthralled, and never fails to bring tears of joy to my eyes. *happysobs*. Plus the lovely company too, all of whom enjoyed it immensely. I went with yvesilena, casby, the_alchemist, robert_jones, taimatsu, borusa, aiwendel and olithered, and it was lovely to see you all again and catch up with you. *hugehugs*

In a burst of enthusiasm about musicals, I have desires to see Phantom of the Opera (the musical, not the imminent cinema thingie) in the vaguely near future - would anyone be up for going with me? (the_lady_lily, I know we’ve talked of going before?, and arkady, I know you want to go again?) *hopefulsmiles*

Sounds like you had fun - and good to know you got good boots :) Hope they aren't too slippery though! I still have to wear mine in, but as it hasn't been awfully cold, I've not bothered wearing them much yet. I find my buffalos have pretty much the best grip of all my shoes! Weird that.

The new coat sounds cool - did you get it in the shop on the way to Portabello, which has lots of handmade patchwork stuff? I've always wanted to buy stuff there! *jealous*

New coat is incredibly nice - yes it's from that shop (Maribou) - all handmade stuff. :) I've spotted things in there so many times before I've wanted, but its the first time I've gone there since being a poor student. Ooopsie! :)
