Same, same but now with gloves

I bought matching gloves last week, otherwise I looked just the same as last week.

Yesterday night

Caroline's friends turned out to be really nice people, so the pre-party was lots of fun, mainly we talked about music. We actually had so much fun that we didn't arrive at Tip the Velvet until around midnight. This meant that we missed some of the shows, but we still managed to see one of Mr Mistress' numbers ( had no idea a skinny man in women's underwear and make-up could be so hot) and one of the local Lily de Luxe's, the latter involving quite a lot of soapy water. Apart from that I drank G&T's danced, talked to people, including one of my current students, met a woman whose blog I read and was made amorous advances to by a very pretty and nice girl.
I was in bed at four.

The new peplos

Because of an upcoming Halloween party with a greek or roman pantheon theme I have made a new peplos, from fine red wool and with a linen tabletwoven ribbon sewn to the upper edge. I will wear other fibulae, since these are a) nordic/germanic and b) something I want to reserve for ritual dress. I will also have a helmet and a Medusa badge, since I'm portraying Athena.




The peplos may be one of the least sexy styles you can find - at least with modern eyes. This is especially true if you, as I do, wear it as it was worn, i.e: without a bra.
