Gauntlet dock!
Oh my god, you guys, RuPaul's Drag Race is back! I kind of had a super-early favorite going into it, and now that I've seen the first episode? The love is stronger than ever! Go Raja! Making a red plaid outfit for the first runway seems to be a pretty good strategy... I'm also loving Delta Work and Manila Luzon thus far. So glad to see Venus go - I was already rolling my eyes at her laser focus on Madonna (to the point of plastic surgery? Yich!), and after her horrific brawl of a lip synch, I was pleased to be done with that.
Mmm, and the stubbly new pit crew member? Mmmmm. Approved.
Not approved, however, is this (HORRIFICALLY SPOILERY FOR FFXIII) FFXIII-2 trailer. The fact that there's going to be a sequel at all pisses me off, as XIII was a complete story. It didn't need elaboration. It especially didn't need elaboration in this particular form. One of the things I loved about the first game was the delicate balance it struck between celebrating and deconstructing RPG conventions. This trailer portrays the sequel as some very... standard anime/JRPG woman warrior thing. I don't know. There's no guarantee that the game won't be fantastic (though I'm doubtful since, as I said before, XIII was a complete story in and of itself), but the way they're choosing to introduce it makes me uncomfortable. Why you do this to me, Squenix?
I've been boosting my wardrobe pretty heavily lately, including many additions from Threadless, the most recent of which arrived today along with this sticker sheet:
I couldn't find this particular set scanned anywhere and I figured someone else might be interested in seeing it. For the curious, the shirts referenced are, left to right, bottom to top: Case Study #48: Bunny Family Anomalies, God Hates Techno, Cookie Loves Milk (which I own :D), Funkalicious, Runnin' Rhino, and Peace.
Now if I can just get to a Zara and manage to find this Kurt hat, I may explode with style-y happiness!
