I have been so up and down and all around. Two days ago and most of yesterday I was extremely hypomanic, then crashed (emotionally) on the way home from visiting my sister and sobbed uncontrollably for about half the trip. SIGH. No reason other than the crash from the hypomania. Fortunately Patrick was driving. Today I was back on the high end of my mood spectrum, so we got gussied up and went out to indulge my craving for attention in a safe fashion.
We went to a store called Otherworlds in Edmonds, and it was amazing! So much steampunk stuff, I nearly had to lie down. Sadly I was unable to find a suitable tophat or blouse, but I did find some amazing earrings. I tried on a bunch of hats, and they all looked awesome (I am a hat person), but were too expensive. After we came home, I worked on some more art. Pictures are below:

| Before we went. 10% off if they like your outfit! That streak is our mirror being dirty. Sorry. |
 |
| Clockwork earrings I got there. Super light and they actually turn when you touch them! |
 |
| I know these are probably repetitive for y'all, but they are oddly cathartic for me. |
And by the way, that isn't a break in that one curve. There was evidently some lint on the canvas, as I discovered after looking at the picture. I wasn't inclined to retake it, so apologies for that.
As Maurice Herzog so memorably said, "There are other Annapurnas in the lives of men." Indeed there are. My Annapurna is madness.

Lots of hugs--it can't be fun to have these manic highs and lows. (I imagine the highs might be OK, but I don't think I would like the feeling) Beautiful photos! I didn't see the streak but I did spot the lint!
Thank you for the hugs, Madame! <3 The streak is the horizontal bit of whiteness across the corset. I really should clean our mirror before taking pictures, but I can never remember...
You looked lovely, did you get the 10% off?
I did, thank you! I'm glad you approve, this makeup took some time! :)
Testing...testing...
It appears the Blogosphere has decided to allow me back into its good graces! Yay!

Taryn.. life is indeed a box of chocolates, and yesterday (sunday) i picked my favourite from the box, a dark sensual one with a red cherry inside Yummy.. Unique and rather Special!
I guess that sums you up.. very special..
So if you or whoever reads this know that of all the things that you have been called in life or indeed would describe yourself as.. i hope i'm the first to call you My Cherry Chocolate Surprise!
Oh, darling you look so ravishing in your picture! My god, woman, I don't know what you've done but you just look more delicious than usual to me lately! <3 And I love your earrings! If I had pierced ears, I'd ask if I could borrow those! <3 And I don't think your artwork is repetitive at all! I love what you do and if it's what you like to do and you're good at, I say stick with it! ^^ I hope you have a lovely start to the new week, darling! <3 <3 <3 * *Hugs*

I love the outfit - it's fabulous! And the earrings are very cool indeed. Major props to you, surviving your Annapurna.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I'm glad y'all like the outfit. Athol, in answer to your implied question, anyone who looks at the internet can read this blog and its comments. It is open to all.
Dad, I'm glad we got that problem fixed and you can comment again!
Rei, I thought of you when I was trying them on! You would love that store. It is so weird.
Jenn, <3 I haven't conquered my Annapurna yet, but I'm making good headway. I'd say I've passed base camp and started up the slopes. ;)
Love the outfit :)
Thank you, lovely!
