karohemdGot up around 9, wrote an LJ post, had breakfast and then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tooth_fairy raided her wardrobe for outfits to wear and we started with various ideas (sort of period dress, green dress and enormous colourful wooly jumper of doom!) which led to some reasonable results. Yay!
puddingcat with a large amount of Stuff&trade arrived just in time for a sandwich lunch.
Then it waspuddingcat's turn in a short olive military style dress and Big Boots™. We're not mentioning the bear, no. Bad and wrong doesn't even start to describe it.
Next up wastooth_fairy in a black/silver corset and turquoise dress. My jury-rigged snoot worked very well for that, too. Yay!
After that,puddingcat in a suit with bowler hat and then reading and drinking tea.
puddingcat then changed into a Bettie Page style outfit with a polka dotted circle skirt made by claire_wain (shameless plug) and first post on her own and then with tooth_fairy for a couple of fun photos.
We ordered some Chinese for dinner (quite good, actually) and while the girls watched Strictly Come Dancing, I processed a few preview photos.
After dinner we had a brief Bad Taste/What Not to Wear session and after that fun low-light shots with lava lamps and candles.
A few experiments didn't quite achieve their goals but the reason for most of that was the lack of appropriate equipment/space.
All in all a very busy day with some good results. It was a lot of fun, too and I'm glad I came.
