Writer. White-knuckle knitter. Superannuated Pre-Raphaelite stunner. Punk- and Goth-adjacent. My novel, Damned Pretty Things, is available from Aqueduct Press (and the usual suspects). I like perfume.
I should hope so!

A laced up pair of brown ankle boots with shiny gold toe-box.
@gsnorgathon.bsky.social is a mensch. He took my boots to get them fixed. I'd worn them so much that the heels were completely trashed. They'd been languishing on a shoe rack for maybe eight years, maybe more. I'm glad to have them back on my feets.

Seven attached, cabled white pentagons (on a Hello Kitty comforter).
And here's how far I've got on the bolero.

In the Bunny Bowl of New Arrivals, an old arrival - Madelintosh DK superwash in colorway Tarte. A rich blueish red.
Happy I Love Yarn Day! I feel like dumping my stash on the floor and rolling around in it.
(But I'll probably just knit, as is my wont.)
(Below is my favorite yarn to date.)
RIP John Lodge. Thanks for all the music.

The author grinning like a sackful of possum heads. Lovely blue-red lipstick on her lips and not, as usually happens, on her teeth.
The Last MAC Lipstick: Keep Dreaming. Look, ma! No lipstick on my teeth! If that ain't living the dream, I don't know what is.
This and Red Rock are my faves. Still, I think I was conservative in my choices.
The author in a warm, pinky red lipstick. Bilateral symmetry is for losers.
Night of the Living Selfies continues with Forever Curious, a highly presentable pinkish red.
@gsnorgathon.bsky.social is being a total champ when I show him selfies and ask him "A or B?" like a cheerful optometrist.
The author in warm pink lipstick. She stares off into the distance, possibly thinking of Manderley, or perhaps what the word is for that thing. You know, the thing that does that stuff.
Once upon a time I was down at the Raison d'Etre and passed a table where a couple of men were enjoying their coffee. One of them looked at me and said, in the snarkiest way imaginable, "Oh...*Flamingo* Woman."
MAC's Flamingo isn't *quite* flamingo enough, but is a pleasant warm pink nonetheless.
I'm glad you reminded me. This is great news.

"Oh, when you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lips stick on my face?"
I never knew what he was actually singing until I looked it up today.
The author wearing pinky-red matte lipstick and otherwise looking like a gooner.
MAC Red Rock: the closest to Le Metier de Beaute's Bombay of the four. It's good to get color in one's face.
