kjpepperFirst an amusing thing - one of my purchases at Halt & Consume besides dinner supplies was a set of Barbie clothes. Yes, Barbie is the Froo-it of the dye-veel, as Mike Myer's dad would say in So I Married an Axe Murderer. but you see, I have one with a special connotation that requires some explaining.
So once upon a time there were five girlies - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaicat, darkling_dreams, sundart, gossamer_gull and I - who all got together monthly for marathon all-girl Vampire the Masquerade gaming sessions . . . (working on the web site, if anybody's interested in the full story - that is if you're not going "GAMING?? AAAAAAAAAGH!!!" and running in the opposite direction) My character was a "15 year old" former hooker/organist (yep, many a bad pun abounded about that) named Sara whose somewhat seedy past came back to bite her ass in the form of this skeevy lawyer guy named John Riviera with proclivities towards adolescents that apparently followed him into his unlife . . . Anyway, for my birthday one year, gossamer_gull and darkling_dreams made a diorama of a New Orleans hotel room with "Sara" (the aforementioned Barbie doll) and "John" (a Ken doll without its original head - the head it's currently got has a tendency to fall off) in compromising positions. The diorama unfortunately got kind of mangled over time, but I still have Sara and John, and every so often I will buy Sara a character-appropriate (read all black or all purple) outfit. I would do the same for John but I have yet to see a Ken doll wearing a conservative business suit, and since the John character isn't the type for Hawaiian shirts and florescent flowered swim trunks, my John doll will have to stay naked for now. Ah well. Anyway. Context aside, I bought Sara a set of surprisingly un whore-like purple jammies today. Doesn't she look cute?
I've had a quote from X2 floating around and around in my head since last night - the one where Magneto says to Pyro "You are a god amongst insects; never let anyone tell you otherwise." Wow. On one hand I totally don't agree with the sentiment, as I don't necessarily think any particular group of people is superior to any other, but at the same time, what a neatly powerful statement. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I liked the movie last night - in the burgeoning land of Movie Sequel we're about to enter, I think that X2 is leading the pack right now.
Anyhoo, enough silliness. I have chicken to cook.
