All Hallows by All Hallows

 I have been wanting a Finfolk All Hallows Eve mermaid tail for ever (well since last year when they released this limited edition tail and I was completely povvo and couldn't afford to buy it).  A local Perth mermaid, the awesome Kirstie Godfrey, recently decided she didn't love the colours and agreed to sell me her brand new, tags still attached, size small AHE. 



Note the size small.

So I used to be a size small.  Hell I used to be a size XS...but not so much in the last 6 to 7 years.


But I REALLY love this tail and if anything can inspire me to lose the chub it is this beautiful piece of whimsy..  So I have set myself a goal of being able to fit comfortably into her by Halloween (this year you cheater). 



Fully stretched at the waist, this tail is only just 62 cm.  According to the Finfolk size chart for this tail an S is supposed to be 71.12cm at the waist.  An XS is meant to be 66cm.

Finfolk, despite making beautiful tails, are a teensy bit notorious for having a rather ad hoc approach to sizing. Nevertheless this model of tail is as rare as rocking horse excrement and I am determined to fit my butt into it by said date because I doubt I will ever obtain another.

So -

My current weight is 67 kilos
Waist: 91cm
Butt/Hips: 99cm
Calves: 56cm
Ankles: 35cm

The Tail as measured:
Waist: 62 cm
Butt/Hips: 86 cm
Calves: 44 Cm
Ankles: 40cm

So apparently my ankles are fine!

That means I need to lose approximately:

Waist: 29cm
Butt/Hips: 13cm
Calves: 12 cm

I have tried the tail on and the ankles and calves are actually pretty good.  It's that ridiculously tiny waist that is the main problem. Aint no way, no how that is gittin over my booty. 

So tomorrow I will post my plan on how I am going to be wearing the All Hallows for All Hallows..

The Haunted Dolls House - Part 1

Image
One of my favourite Bloggers (and writers) is Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess . She is super smart, super funny, super weird and, as an extra bonus to her brilliant writing (and drawing), she has also been making a Haunted Dolls House for years. I personally think this is an extremely cool project and one I had recently decided to copy pursue as a form of therapy for some truly awful crap I have been going through for the past few years. So imagine my delight when I spotted this little piece of slightly spooky decrepitude on someones verge this morning while I was walking the doggies. Mock Tudor, two story abandoned Dolls House! Perfection. Anyhoo, I raced the dogs home, jumped in the car and roared two blocks back to grab it before anyone else could.  Because, of course, people would be lining up to get a piece of this sweet spooky action! So here's some more shots - no idea what my plans are yet but I think this could be a fun project to work on when stress, a...

New Moon Binding

Image
Tuesday 19 December 2017 Apogee So last night I performed a binding spell for the New Moon.  It was a variation (and escalation) of one I have performed many times in the past.  The last time I bound this person it worked fantastically well, although it ended up being a much more literal binding that I expected. The Duke and I are once again having to face this particular adversity and I wanted to ensure my protections and wards were strong.  I also decided to do another binding  and, rather than just repeat the original, I decided to add a stronger simulacrum spell to the binding ritual. I made the poppet earlier in the year, during spring, using local grasses. I love Hedgewitching in Spring. My suburb is a garden suburb, so it's ridiculously easy to find almost anything you want, just by taking a stroll. All my preparations went fine, not surprisingly, as I've been planning this working for quite a while. The son left to go to D&D so he was saved...
