Wow I’m so cute in bunchies, aren’t I? And look about 12, apparently. I should do that again more often. Eyeliner is always a good thing, never never let me forget that again. *jumps around happily*

I saw the Dresden Dolls perform at the Roundhouse on Friday. If you’ve not heard them, maybe you should - one of those rare goth/mainstream crossover bands with a very dark cabaret sound to them. I was warned the support would be, let us say ... strange, and strange it was. A whole series of several avant-garde performance artists, somewhat decadent and cabaret in style, along with all the feathers, hats and big black eye makeup, ranging from wig jugging to a unique stripper to singalong songs about aardvarks (It begins with an A ...). Um, you just had to be there ok? Put us in a lovely decadent mood for the Dresden Dolls themselves, who decided they’d not just do a gig, but a whole Show (with a capital S!), with guest performance artists on many songs swinging around above stage or prancing around onstage in gorgeous outfits. Mmm mmmmmmm. Very very happy I got to hear all my favourite songs off their 2 albums performed. I’ve been singing them to myself on and off ever since then (and I hope nobody has heard me!)
Had an even more wonderful time at the Oakdale Arms yesterday - everyone, really, everyone was there, and it was a night of buzzing between conversations, playing Jenga-of-doom with a tower reaching higher than myself (and that’s WITH my platform shoes on!), stopping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doseybat from stealing my drink, taunting all my evil exes, discussing all the practical applications of Bovril in a seriously brain-breaking discussion and finally drinking tea into the small hours with a very pretty creature indeed (I fear I’m still crushing a little bit. Ok, a LOT. dearie me what am i like? I’m so predictable la la la. Is that bad?)
Finished watching Angel Season 5 just now, and so my brain is still going ooooh! and eeeee! and so so looking forward to what we are doing next weekend. This eveninghuggyrei kindly baked a gorgeous steam pudding and I’ve been munching that down very happily. Whatever am I going to do when she moves out?
Plans for World Domination are progressing well. Watch this space!
