Barring any surprises, tomorrow is the ~last eighteenth century patterning visit~! (Surprises meaning I suddenly find out X small museum has a great jacket or something.) I wish I could be temporarily unemployed for the next couple of weeks so I could spend some serious time scanning, tracing, and writing.
Eating buttered noodles while sitting on the floor and watching Revenge. My life is a shambles. But! I've got my corset pieced and the boning and busk ordered, so I can try it on properly soon. But! I can't make it to Corset Day because on Saturday my car is being fixed. (I think a brake pad fell off. There's a horrible metal-on-metal grinding when I stop.)
Added More Than Just Flappers and my Greek fashion myths to my résumé. I'm thinking of starting a few more powerpoints based on things I might be asked to talk about someday, somewhere. Just so I have a starting place. Also, I feel sort of academically restless and not in the mood to translate French (and be frustrated with captions that spout drivel about "the false pouter" and which lover they're waiting for and why).
