Teh intarwebs do not want me to own pin-up clothes. Paypal won’t let items paid for through it be shipped to Ireland and Pinupgirlclothing horks when I try to log in. Yes, I have credit cards I could use, or American addresses I could use, but part of the idea of the fun here was to be able to wear, say, this to P-Con, and having something shipped somewhere in America and then to me is certain to not get it to me by then. :p (Of course, if I got it, I would have to figure out how to do something with my hair, too, and that’s not a strong point for me…)
In other news, Chess is playing in Dublin at the end of March. I want very much to go see it. I suspect it’s actually probably not very good, but it’s got big hair music and I would so love to play Florence myself….
If it’s the Chess I’m thinking of, it is so totally worth going – if only for the song “I Know Him So Well”
I should probably add though I’ve only ever seen the PBS concert version, so I’m not too strong on the actual storyline-but the music was good :D.
They tweaked with the story & music a bit for the concert version (I think it was an anniversary of the original production). I envy you the chance to see it. The music for this is wonderful even if the story is a bit dated.
