Sew What?
Yesterday I purchased a big bolt of stretchy black fishnet fabric. It's not a plain fishnet, but has a slight wave pattern to it. Now I need to make stuff out of it.
I really need to make some money in a big, big way, so I'm hoping to come up with some easily-made stuff (despite me knowing this is going to be a real bitch to work with) that people will want to buy. I'm thinking arm-warmers, fingerless gloves, overskirts, and the like. Do you have any other ideas I can filch consider? If I can get the stuff together, I'll set myself up with an Etsy account and begin selling like mad.
I'm also planning on using other fabrics, too, but since I have a whole frigging bolt of the black fishnet, this will be the main element of many pieces.

Do you remember those poop-pig key chains? You know, those horrid little squishy beasties that when you squeeze 'em, appear to be pooping? Well, I found a truly horrific version of it yesterday. It was a female pudendum, and when I squoze it, a nasty, slimy, white bulge erupted from betwixt the labia. It was the vilest thing I'd seen in quite some time, so of course I splurged the ten cents and gave it to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
schwartzung. He was suitably revolted. But then James squeezed it and licked it which was just.... Well, words can't describe just what it was, so you'll have to supply your own.

I had a brief fighting practice last night. Somehow, I've started using my broadsword as a bastard sword, and that's gotta stop. I also got hit good and hard in the eye. It felt like my eyeball bounced off the back of my skull. I thought I'd have a shiner today, but I think I dodged it. I did end up with what looks like rugburn on my eyelid, though. Good one, schwartzung....

Vladimir Demikhov: "Chronicle about experiments of Vladimir Demikhov, a Soviet scientist who made the first transplantation of a dog's heart in 1952. The experiment, aimed at finding ways of replacing portions of the human body lost through injury or disease, was pronounced Russia's "most successful". In 1946 Demikhov replaced the whole heart-lungs complex of a dog without using the apparatus of artificial circulation of blood. In 1954 he conducted a revolutionary experiment, when created a two-headed dog by grafting a puppy's head to a full-grown pooch. Then scientists even observed the process of rejuvenation of the elder dog. Shown are the two dogs before the operation, Demikhov performing operations, the puppy's head lapping up water, demonstration of the dog on a scientists' conference..."
