The costuming continues. I'm going to a mall with snowy_kathryn shortly. I'm hoping that the dollar store has some sort of thick fabric I can use to put inside the belt I'm making. I have maybe $2 to my name. That's more than enough for the dollar store. It practically makes me feel rich.

Here are a few links to tide you over. Enjoy!

Tut's gem hints at space impact: "In 1996 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Italian mineralogist Vincenzo de Michele spotted an unusual yellow-green gem in the middle of one of Tutankhamun's necklaces."

"Revenge" by Ministry: Godawful video of a godawful song. Ministry's image has changed a lot since their first album (thanks, balthcat).

Indian Rock 'n Roll: Head shimmies? Eek!

Star Trek Sings Knights of the Round Table: It is a very silly video.

Kevin Smith Talks About Superman: Every movie needs a giant spider battle (thanks, zombienought).

If you can't find anything at the dollar store, I have lots of remnants kicking around. If there's something that you can use, it's yours.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome! I couldn't find anything there. I'm just looking for something heavy, like denim or even an old blanket. I need maybe a half meter, tops. Do you have any you could spare?

[valkryor.livejournal.com]

I do indeed. I might not have any demin, but I know I have some cotton twill hanging around.

[valkryor.livejournal.com]

I went through my boxes of remnants and came up with some stuff that should fit your requirements and that I have no future plans for. I'll bring it to class today so snowy_kathryn can bring it back with her.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I'll see you there. Kathryn's dragging me along.

What's so awful about that video and song? I've never
seen it, or heard it before, to my surprise, but I
like it! I'd be dancing like a gay monkey to such a
song, back in the day. I do find the transition from
Flock of Seagulls to White Zombie pretty amusing,
though. :P

When I watch that Indian video, I always find myself
waiting for Batman and Robin to crash the party. But
I think it's about a woman possessed by a demon who
is being courted by two of Lord Hanuman's monkeymen.
The women, of course, represent gopis. (I am totally
not serious, and have now nearly exhausted my know-
ledge of Indian mythos.)

Who could ever love any other Star Trek more than the
original?


I look forward to the impending tales of your work
in the sex industry, or, failing that, as a squeegee
kid, battling for dominion of profitable street cor-
ners.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Eeek! You like early Ministry! I'm afraid....

The transition is pretty funny, isn't it? For a somewhat similar effect, check out early Trent Reznor: Exotic Birds.

I've yet to work in the sex industry, but that could change. I'm thinking of applying at the local sex toy shops.

[valkryor.livejournal.com]

Oh my. That was most interesting footage. If Mr Reznor ever does see it, he's going make every attempt to get it removed. Or he's going to bust a gut laughing. Either works.

Have you seen the way he looks now? He wears white
and looks like a beer-drinking frat boy!

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I just saw a video clip, and it scares me. He has no neck!

[zombienought.livejournal.com]

Obviously he has an addictive and obsessive nature,
from girl to music to heroin to Quake. I guess now
he's had to shift the drug fixation to weight lift-
ing. Maybe you and he could be workout buddies!

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could handle all the angst.

[http://users.livejournal.com/neongrey_/]

I dunno. I don't think he's bad-looking as he is now, though the drug-addict look really suits him better. I just hate to say that, considering he came by that look honestly, as it were.

[zombienought.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess he's come by his muscled look
pretty honestly now, too.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Normally I'd do that, but there aren't any second hand shops close by.

But valkryor gifted me with something that will work well.

Indian chickie's head looked like it wanted off her neck. Strange, strange stuff, these Bug Juice dancers. :-)

[fourcorners.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I really liked 'Revenge' back in the 80s. I still do cause of nostalgia

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

You guys need to form a support group!

[fourcorners.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you have musical skeletons in your closet. Were you a NKOTB fan? Did you like Hootie? There must be some video or song that you guiltily liked that everybody else ridiculed

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Plenty of skeletons. When I was 11, Barry Manilow was da bomb. I also liked NKOTB for about two weeks. My very first purchased cassette tape was Nenah Cherry, and although I really wanted to buy Beastie Boys, I decided not to because there was a parental advisory sticker on the tape, and I thought it was probably not a good thing to buy swear words.

My father had serious issues when he saw all
the upside down crosses on the Danzig album
while I was photocopying the liner notes. He
said we were going to have a talk later, but
we never did.

[idiolekt.livejournal.com]

I must find that Ministry album. I have Twitch and it's one of my favourite Ministry albums.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

CHSR has it in vinyl, or they did while I was there.
