ATTN: Anime Boston Spags

[leln]

Friday night to maximize search / production time, then.  Mop up Saturday if needed.

We all need HORRIBLE Roman names too.

Give me appropriately horrific phrases, I'll see if I can get in touch with my friend who's a Classics teacher. Then we'll KNOW they're grammatical. The only thing I can come up with right now is Anno Rexia, which hardly applies to anyone in our group and can't be correct Latin.


Also, Suu, several questions:

Any tips for fast and hopefully not too expensive fibulae? I have a couple ideas to fake the look, but since both involve huge safety pins adorned with other materials I figured I'd ask the expert first.

Do I need to find some sort of belt, or is that included in what you're lending me?

Should I look for anything to adorn my head?

[Suu]

Huge safety pins work. Like diaper pins.

Romans invented the safety pin, it was NOT Lithuania, despite what you may have heard. Nor did Lithuania invent Rome.

Get rope trim for a belt. I need to use mine.

Can you get your hair in a bun?

[Suu]

Oh, and Drew will be joining us. Not with wife or annoying fat friend who my sister almost killed this time. Just Drew. Room is full again!

Something like these?



I know this guy...  I'd introduce you, but I think you've probably known him a wee bit longer...

[Suu]

Romans didn't use them. They STOLE them, but they didn't use them much.

Good, do I need to pretty up the safety pins in any way? Most of the images of fibulae I saw had decorative elements.

I'll get the rope trim, how many times will I need to loop myself with it?

Yes, my hair can go into a bun. I was going to experiment this weekend with doing the French braid on each side leading to a low bun thing, but with my ears healing and the contrary nature of my tresses it may not be in the cards to get that fancy.

Thanks for answering the questions!

[Suu]

2 lengths: Enough to go around your natural waist snuggly with a good amount of decorative length, and the same thing for your underbust.

Cool, I'll see if Michael's or A.C. Moore carry the trim.

Should I decorate the safety pins in any way, and should I look for anything for my hair? Sorry to keep pestering you, but I'm going shopping tomorrow and I'd like to get everything I need in one sweep.

[Suu]

Whatever you want to do!

This is an anime con, like people are REALLY going to care, and if they do, you send their stuffy asses to ME, goddamnit.

One might hope.  Because I'll bet you a beer Suu will be able to rip apart whatever outfit said nazi is wearing without even breaking a mental sweat.

We shall hit this convention with positively IMPERIAL fury.

I'll need red wine.

I have.  It's homebrew, no promises on the quality, but I have in quantity.

I need to teach you all vile Latin phrases.
