I like this one alfredangelobridal.eu/c… or something very similar (possibly less puffy) I like too many of them…but the dress has to have sleeves. True facts. I cannot conceivably pull off a strapless contraption!
Ooh yes, I was looking at that one too, but I can’t pull off too poofy a skirt....

Yep okay so I think this is the one. It’s got pretty much everything I want: sleeveless, lace, open back, slim skirt, vintage model - the only thing it misses is a high collar but I can do without that. On top of that, it’s from a very afforable site, so it’s very unlikely it’ll be above my budget (€500-750).

It totally looks like you and since you were posting modelling shots I thought it might be :) Ughh I know! I always use stumbleupon for wedding stuff and I sit and weep at the lack of funds and available attractive men for me to have said things.
StumbleUpon is both heaven and hell as far as...

May I suggest turning to a life of crime?
I am considering either that, or taking up professional sugar baby-ing.

#looks like sonja #could actually be sonja #lottie is stupid
Lottie is not stupid! *glare* Totally wish it was me, though.
What is me, is falling in love with wedding dresses I could not afford, ever. Not only does this cost about twice Mike’s monthly salary, I seriously can’t justify spending that much money on a one-time occassion dress.
Sigh. I’m just going to pine over it...

Hot damn I got the photos from my latest shoot and they’re my best yet, I think.
I was in the zone that day, holy crud.

See, what I mean is I’m missing stuff like this:
which has been less frequent than this:
(x, x)
It’s the general colour scheme more than anything else, plus a sense of - well, corrosion creeping in. But you know, that’s me. I like my sexy bright SF architecture.

I’ve also noticed that sci-fi artwork has become increasingly dystopic. I’m well aware that post-apocalyptic and dystopia works are a subgenre of science fiction, but it seems a shame that we haven’t more of the good old slick, symmetrical metal highrise, the sense of uncorroded architecture that I tie to sci-fi.
Barring the spaceships. The spaceships are still awesome.

Finally a sci-fi reading list with Foundation on no. 1, and then they misspell the name of the most important character.
Booo.

Could add Faulkner’s MEg dictionary (that seems almost synonymous with Gardiner in my dept!) or Baines & Malik Atlas of Ancient Egypt? (See I didn’t suggest my advisors book!) I know both of those books were essential 1st year reading for us.
Yikes, the only excuse I have for forgetting the...

This is a really great list! Though I’d add Hornung, “The One and the Many” s essential reading on religion, myself. :)
There you go, anon!
I haven’t read that one myself yet, going to pick it up when I’ve money to spend again. :3

Well, at least they’re making an effort to try and fix the fact that they’ve planned Old Egyptian and Film & Literature end terms on the same bloody date and time.
I don’t want to believe that both the universe and the university are against my getting a degree, but it’s getting a bit difficult right now.
