Servalan dress, grey wool coat
Brrr! it has been so cold lately!! and I have gleefully re-discovered my army jacket and been wearing it a whole bunch of times... O how I love that thing! It's fabulous how I can slip it on over a little Tshirt or short-sleeved dress and it instantly renders any little summery thing winter-appropriate. Big love for thick winter parkas. And it has even been cold enough to get out that Granny squares skirt again, saving it from white elephant-dom ;)
We went to our sci fi do on Saturday night, and Servalan got out and about again and had intergalactic geeky fun... her first outing was to Supanova with future grrrl a few weeks ago. This time Servalan let her hair down and boogied like a boss. You know a party is running hot when the smoke detectors go off and the fire engine shows up! Chewbacca hanging off of a fire truck is not a sight you see every day.
A few asked about Craig's outfit... well I was all set and quite keen to make him something and then he decided to go as Neo. Well do you know how much it costs to make a full-length leather coat, even a fake leather coat. No? well twice as much as to hire it, that's how much, and yup! I checked out the offerings and did the sums to find that out, and was just like, oh man, really?!?

Plus it's important to be able to admit when a sewing project is going to be masochistically difficult and have a very small fun factor, yes? So he hired one. And looked tres cool...
