Oh, dw/lj ... it was the last weekend of the summer (yes, school started this morning, ugh) and the House of Boys was in mourning/pre-panic attack/in denial/already aggravated, so I needed *something* to keep me from strangling them all and D23, the Disney rah-rah convention was conveniently timed for maximum distraction.

First, there was Chris Evans babbling on about how much he loves his co-stars, which I went and liked on as many different media outlets as possible because ♥ ♥ ♥ And then Hiddleston sang the Bare Necessities, which was more ♥

But then. But then, somewhere in the middle of other D23 stuff, I kinda, sorta, felllllllll into the Disney Bound tags on tumblr and pinterest and maybe did not come back out for hours and hours and hours. It's slightly scary how many things I can pull from my closet and make work for some character or another (having the boot collection I do definitely helps.)

[livejournal.com profile] withdiamonds! Should we ever manage to align our schedules again, we have to think about Flora/Fauna/Merryweather, y/y?

In other news, my [livejournal.com profile] marvel_bang draft broke the minimum word count yesterday, which is \o/, but I don't think it's more than a third done and the draft is due at the end of the month, which is /o\. Also somewhere in there was a start on my [community profile] polybigbang draft, which is holding steady on a Kono/Danny/Steve and about which I have *no* idea. I mean, I haven't written a word in H50 in almost 2 years, but who am I to question my brain?

Hiddleston singing was adorable! Haven't seen the Evans clip yet, so thanks for linking that. I love live time media, enjoyed so much of D23 via twitter etc.

Disneybounding! Saw some fun takes on it on my recent trip. Did a day of it on my own. Want to try some others on another trip. Such a fun idea! They're doing a meet up on Dapper Day next month, should be some great pics.

What character were you?! I will definitely be on the lookout during our F/W weekend, but the group I'm going with is so not the type to try it out with. Maybe next spring...

Ariel! Green shorts, purple floaty top from Modcloth, fishy earrings. Also did a modified Alice: seersucker shorts, blue top, black headband and tea cup earrings with a White Rabbit pin. I'd love to do Merida because my hair is, well, hers just not red. First bonus I've seen from this riot on my head, ever! Lol. It was fun, though we saw zero characters while I was garbed up. That would have been great. Did you see some of the gender swap ones? They're so cool!!

Oh, cool, you had more than one! And I do love the genderswap ones--my boot collection leans toward those outfits. I'll definitely have to do something when we go in the spring. Right now it's planned to be just us (well, and D's baseball team, but the boys and I will be off doing our own thing) so I won't have to take care/plan for anyone else.

Also, I stilllll have a package for you. It just takes me forever to get to the post office...

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I never argue with when free surprise packages arrive! ;)

I have a black Chico's dress that would be perfect for either the Evil Queen or Maleficent if I could only find it!
