I just remembered I have this lj.
Hmm.

I now have 75 copies of the alice books. The aforementioned self-service ordering system at borders has become my bff for this. I am about to need thingies to add on to my bookcase, the one I bought for my alice stuff, because it's running out of room. I had to put the taller books on the floor for now. Hoping to buy these modular cube-shelf things we sell at target, where I work now.

Speaking of target, we had these little doll sets that were little cabbage patch dolls in storybook scenes, and I got the last alice-and-the-mad-hatter one. It's a target exclusive. Scoreness.

I also, last post, mentioned the mary engelbreit alice. I got it. What a disappointment! All she did for it was the cover, and there's a little w. rabbit that appears on the chapter pages. I was really sad because I love mary engelbreit, and I feel cheaped-out-on. Not good. Thought of writing her a letter... the "big fan... so WHY?!" sort.

I AM NOT GOING AS ALICE THIS HALLOWEEN. Alert the media. I think I'm going as a mummy-lady. I got to wear the alice costume twice this year, for katsucon and also otakon (where there were a TON of alices, which made me gleeful, but some girl derisively informed me I was one too many... whatever). So, i think it's ok if I do something different for halloween this year.

I was reading mad_teaparty member leaveittoweaver's alice blog, at http://searchingforalice.wordpress.com . It's her blog for all things alice, like this was supposed to be. But hers is way cooler because it has pictures. I feel inspired!

I haven't gotten my alice sleeve worked on since june. The bottom part is mostly done. 26 hours in! Think I should be able to make a new appointment soon, though, which is happy.

And I think that is all, for now!

here are pictures i took at otakon this year, of alicey people. there were so many! i was very happy. but some girl yelled at me from across the way, "you're like the 16th one i've seen!"... not in a very nice tone either. but never mind her -- i was glad there were so many, and the first time i went, in 2003, it was me and a cheshire cat girl, so she can go cry.

anyhow, here we go!

alice cosplay!
