Every savage can dance

Clothes, clothes, clothes, and a few thoughts about the Wendyhouse experience in general.

(Grin) Good write up. Sorry that we wimped out early for a night in with Major Sharpe and the 95th. But it sounds like you enjoyed yourself well enough anyway.

Tiger Tim stripes, shaved into short hair. I didn’t see this under full light at any point so probably can’t make a proper judgement, but it did look rather good from where I was.

They're Grrrrreat? (laugh)

black trousers and a black shirt?

Um.. there was a small amount of red stitching. Well, I didn't have time to do my lippie - I was in a hurry.

Spilt drinks on the dancefloor.

Totally annoying.... why do people with beer feel they have to cross the dancefloor. I mean it saves them all of ten seconds and they could drink ALL of their beer then rather than shampooing someone who (shock and horror) makes an arm gesture while dancing to beepy music. (Who'd have predicted).

(Curse this decaying fleshy envelope, why was I not created a robot etc etc).You weren't? Puzzled. Mind you, I've often thought that if only you had a heart.... and a circulatory system... and

Sounds like fun!

The spilt-drinks-on-the-dancefloor thing is part of the reason, I think, for that particularly cyber way of dancing, where you stand with you feet in one place and move your body from the waist up, and wave your arms around. Clear some people don't have your superior muscle-tone.
:-)

Spilt drinks may be part of it (although I'm not sure how many *drinks* it is that proper cyber people have), but I think that dance also has to do with wearing such impractically huge boots. Well, it certainly does for me.

Good write-up. Oo, I want to go to another WendyHouse. Or indeed any bleepy shit... Did mistressmalaise introduce you to erzibet, who was also there, apparently? I'd be fascinated as to what you'd make of each other.

Big white trousers: I think you could probably pull it off. Do you think I could?

[steer]

Your legs are too long for big white trousers. You would look like a galleon sinking.

[childeric]

;-p

But you just look like a tatty black ghost-ship like the one in Pirates of the Caribbean.

UV-reactive flashing galleons would have been sadly wasted on the C17th and C18th, I fear...

[steer]

I'll splice your mainbrace in a minute young man. :-P

(A UV pirate ship would strike fear into its enemies briefly I imagine -- but it would be easy to track in night battles).

I'm reassured that you didn't think Wendy House was weird-I was beginning to think I was the only one :-)

But then my excuse is that I haven't exactly got very many previous Wendy Houses to compare it to...

Liked the Wendy House fashion post too, BTW, though I confess that I have been known to smoke on the dancefloor of a club. Usually waving my cigarette around in the air manically trying to make trails... :-)

Meant to add:

Off on a minor tangent here - it’s lovely to meet new people… but I find it faintly disturbing that everyone on the goth(ish) scene has a Livejournal identity.

I do find it particularly weird when people refer to each other by their LJ usernames. I was present when Vin was introduced to someone as vin_petrol. It's not right, I tell you!

Reminds me of the days when I was a student, and people refering to each other by their usernames on the University computer system... Fortunately I'm not a sad geek anymore. (Now I'm a happy geek :)

It was easier when I was a student - if a man wasn't called Steve, Phil or Andy the chances were he was called Dave...

That sounds like it would get confusing very quickly, at least if you knew more than four men... :-)
