I’m changing from windsprite.nu to something else. At first I chose delirium.nu but changed my mind. I’m considering geisha.nu. I also thought of nightshade.nu, duende.nu, night.nu and others. I think I’m probably going to go with geisha though. I already bugged my poor host to change it for me to delirium.nu and she did, now I’m going to have to bug her again. I think geisha is a really pretty name and it alludes to a culture I’ve always been very interested in. I wonder what I’ll name the actual network though. “The Geisha Network” seems kind of blah. Maybe “Suki na koto” (things I like) or “Yaru koto” (things a person should do). “Ikigai ni tsuite” (what makes our life worth living) seems a bit hard to remember but I like it too. I think I like Suki na koto the best. Yeah I’ll go with that one. Best to stick with the Japanese theme, and it describes the network perfectly. Things I like.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time tonight looking for a short pvc/vinyl black shiny as fuck trench coat. I found some on Amazon and some on Etsy. I’m now very cautious about Etsy because people like to buy cheap shit off Temu and resale it there and I don’t want to pay lots of money to be ripped off and fooled. I’m wary of Amazon because of the quality. I found one I really aesthetically like on Etsy but I’m definitely checking Temu first to make sure. Also it seems that the seller can produce the coats in bulk so how quality can they be? I don’t trust anyone!! I can’t find one on the usual goth clothing sites because the ones I did find don’t come in plus sizes. 🙁 Sucks to be in fat jail lol. At least on Etsy the one I like comes in 4X.

I don’t get paid until Friday at midnight. Hurry up!! At least I’m going to my parent’s house today for a good steak and apple pie. 🙂 Seems I can’t get a good steak anywhere else these days!

Edit: I’ve started planning out the illustration for the back of the Sailor Moon jacket. I’m planning on a “girl gang” theme. Usagi holding a baseball bat with nails over her shoulder and Chibiusa with some sweet brass knuckles. Here are a few of the reference images I’ve found;

I think it’ll look pretty cool, just gotta decide on a final layout and draw it (ugh, it’s so hard for me to draw anime anymore!!), then get some blue or red carbon paper and transfer it. I’m still considering dyeing that jacket pink. I have some pink dye and sealer/finisher in my Amazon cart. I might have to dilute it with alcohol to make it more of a light pastel pink. I’m a little nervous about doing it, what if I fuck it up since I’ve never done this before? I need strips to practice on or something.

The dye is Angelus brand light rose pink and it’s a little darker than I wanted, but I can find no lighter dyes in pink. There doesn’t seem to be a huge abundance of pink leather dye. 🙁 I just want to give it a ‘Pink Ladies’ who’ll beat your ass to a bloody pulp vibe. 😀
