I was working on my dress the other night, trying desperately to get it ready, and it just didn't come together like I wanted. I didn't look bad but it didn't look finished either. I was very upset because I had this vision in my head of how I wanted things to be and it wasn't turning out like I had hoped. I didn't have the time to figure out how I could make it look like I wanted either.
It was very disappointing. Fire was still an option; I have five or six red dresses that would work for the occasion. I have all the makeup I would need to make a fiery red look. Still, I was really looking forward to doing an ice costume. Briefly I thought about a dress that I had made for my changeling character when I first started playing. It was this pale pool blue and would have been a great substitute but ever since we moved I haven't been able to find it.
I moped around the apartment. I chose the red dress I was going to wear, and the shoes. I packed all the appropriate makeup. It still didn't keep me from feeling sad. I knew it would look nice but that wasn't the point. So in a slightly less-happy state I went to bed. The next morning I told my fiancee that I had to fall back on plan B, but he could see that I was upset. Suddenly he remembered a dress I had made when I first started playing. It was dark blue and black and very very daring (it requires tape).
I had totally forgotten it even existed. I was very excited. While I was really looking forward to the dress the thing I was looking forward to most was the over all look. Because it is such a darkly colored dress I have decided to take a darker approach to this wintery theme. Much like the look Emilie Simon has in her video for Fleur de Saison. I plan to wear my long black wig and probably do red lips for a Snow White feel. Thank goodness for Glamour 101!
