It’s the Dark Moon & so even though I crazily need new sunnies, I ain’t going to get them. Because I would emerge with something like the above – the new, NEW sunglasses a la mode shape du jour: Bad Wasp. Or something. But whilst i bide my time until after the New Moon, genius sunglasses suggestions are most welcome. And don’t go shopping on the Dark Moon.

Hahaha….. Omg is that a large paper clip holding those gigantic lenses on her head?? That is a bad buy innit.

Or when you have been drinking. Thank you for ONCE AGAIN saving my sanity. I was considering some complicated financial manouverings sothat i could get some perfume which i was thinking would fix my pscychological issues but on further thought and reading the site today, i am going to clean by bathroom both psychologcially and with disinfectant; restore it to shrine status and also get some sleep, not go out with sort-of-demi friends who i know to be drug addicted lunatics with chaotic lives and bearable for short bursts of time at loud parties NOT when moon dark on my libra rising.
Sunglasses. Should be classic and flattering to face. -
Tell me about it. Nabbed the last Lacoste halter swimmers in the store and discovered when parading around at home an enormous hole caused by removal of the security tag!
-
I must have a new bra for a functio on sat. Nothng too flash jsut functional for now. waiting for some action soon to vamp up my lingerie draw.
-
too late! bought new hat and scarf set, gloves and new black t-shirt at H&M. Resisted everything else cause I just KNEW! I just KNEW. am also so in need of a haircut.
-
I LOVE THEM. WHERE can I find those magnificent glasses? So hoping they go department store soon. Just bought a beautiful pair of brown boots and matching flight-esque brown vest, belted with four big pockets and a high collar. Also: blue faux corset (it was cute and I plan to wear it over long sleeves) and a teensy sequin vest. AND a black waist cinching belt for baggy shirts/dresses. Could not help myself! Needed a mini-splurge on the clearance racks, the only thing above 16 USD was the pair of boots. I normally dislike shopping, but it was glorious.
-
Lord, really? She looks like The Fly…
-
i;m with you SF
-
That’s why I like them! I’m into costume pieces. Maybe it’s an extension of my Mercury in Leo (speaking through clothing?), but I have always found dressing much more fun when everyday is treated like Hallowe’en. Today I went for a pilot looking ensemble complete with goggles. It’s so fun! Imagine the monster or sci-fi movie inspired looks one could make with those glasses! Excellent Hallowe’en prop, no?
-
ok, i like the idea of theatrical dressing for everyday…just make sure you leave the dribbles and slime in the props cupboard when you wear them…
-
SF – I wouldn’t wear dribbles and slime in public (except perhaps on Hallowe’en) if you paid me. =)
Lilacmess – Yes! It must be a leo merc thing. It’s how we speak without even opening our mouths.

OO. I am with you on that Lesly. I love the glasses as well !!! So says me with my Mercury also in Leo, and sun in Leo.

I need to shop for a friend’s birthday…..does buying a present fall under
the no-go-shopping-zone umbrella…..like will she hate it???!!!-
me too! it’s too late, just hope he likes zen poetry … :S
good luck…

Lesley, youre in winter i realised as wondering why buy boots in summer:-)
I left my car window open the other night & it was searched.They left the old walkman but stole
my beloved vintage Raybans & ‘blues bros’ type Georgio Armani, both shades were over like 15 years
old plus.
Not a very materialistic kinda person but my Cap rising buys quality so it lasts & doesn’t date.
to replace both in 09 would cost $500 in ‘09………dammit! Just when they are most
needed, so thanx, will hold off til next week.Aviators are so back in fashion (dammit again) as they were always my fave but the Raybans.
Will look for pair with wide side arms to block rays ’round the eyes, must be able to slip them on my head, so as to know where they are & totally accessible.
Need to be a warm brown lenses, not blue, green & big enough to hide under- eye giveaways as to what you have been doing.
Smooth, no metal to catch fine hair or catch on anything, preferably tortoishell.
Will NOT be paying $200-500 as all the designer ones seem to be, but not ‘Cancer Council’ pharmacy
brand either.
Oh, & they need to cover reading glasses when in the sun reading.
mmmmmmmm 3rd dammit…will have to actually go look around or op shop search (no paid parking required at their outlets) for something rare that the sorters have missed.
Might go ‘owl’ ones seeing as aviators are the ‘it’ trend.
Ps: no rose tints.-
I bought myself a pair of gold frame dark lense Ray Ban aviators melbourne cup day to round of my new suit pink shirt purple tie etc , completely random and SO not me to dress that way but i thought fuq it im stepping out for a change! arrived at the track before midday after 3 shots of vanilla Absolute vodka and was half charged when i exited the taxi and was immediately approached by a “squad” of gorgeous gals dressed to the nines commenting on my attire and then proceeded to have a wonderful afternoon and evening with the girls feeling like a bit of a movie star mind you! its amazing what a nice suit and a pair of aviators can do for a guy… clothes (and sunnies ) maketh the man. P.S i pulled later on that night in the R.S.L carpark, so not very romantic!
-
How VILE is that, Pegasus darling! But sort of a weird backhanded compliment that after 15 years you’re still very much in style.. maybe it’s just time for an update. I am hopeless with shades as I don’t actually like NOT seeing everything crisp and clear, I’m one of those people who love an ultra ultra sharp vibrant day, the kind we only get in winter here in LA as in the summer the smog just diffuses everything in a not-so-pretty way.
Ergo my shades are $12 Elvis knock offs I bought in Melrose…I’ve had more expensive shades that broke, cracked, scratched etc. but these seem to be lasting me a while, but I do look like an Asian Assasin in them, haha.. I have to wear them for driving when the summer comes as the sun is blinding on the freeway.
Damons22, YES, I LOVE a man in a good suit, nothing overly padded though. Boss and Armani are my faves, something discreet with a pop of color somewhere, specially on men who are in good shape – its so discreet, subtly sexy and yet ominously powerful. No wonder you pulled…
I DO get annoyed when a good suit is just being used to hide a lot of jelly, or is so overly structured that it is overextending non-existent broadness of shoulder etc. i.e. it is being used to HIDE things.
-
lucky you, having dark eyes that don’t need covering in the sun – it’s a real drag to need sunnies ALL the time when you have pale-coloured eyes (even in winter not-sunny glare)
-
That is true. I forget about that.

Have i told you i am not a good typist?
Wait for post Xmas sales? -
Hello Don Draper. Raybans will never die. http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-mad-men-don-drapers-lost-weekend-in-palm-springs/

Were you just watching Oprah like me?? I think his character is so f$$ing hot, and the actor?? Kind of a douche. Do you agree?
I’m glad you posted about the shopping issue Mystic. I was going to buy my “new scent” today until I read the Dark Moon in Libra post. For the ideal time to buy perfume do I have to wait til next moon in Libra. Should I wait til its waxing?
-
nah didn’t see Oprah, I’m just an MM fan, haven’t seen the actor in the raw give interview – how unfortunate if he is indeed a tool in person! There is some funny stuff out there on the interweb about him. Kind of a James Bond figure in many ways. Personally I favour the Michael Gladis type… He’s Paul on the show. AKA Orson Wells, looks like a big ol’ bear’s worth o fun if u ask me!
-
oh that’s MM meaning MAD MEN, the telly show, but I’m a Mystic fan too, clearly!
-
Ha! That’s even more sychronicity. You were blogging about him and he was just on TV. Whaddya mean a James Bond figure? In real life? Like a cad?
Yeah I knew you meant Mad Men. I really liked it too. And I’m really not much of a fashionista but I really love those clothes.
I never saw Michael Gladis on the show. Bear fun hey??? So this blog just gets more and more revealing!!! tee hee!

Oops. Went shopping. Got dark goth books as presents for others and got a nice refund from Medicare that I have vowed not to spend on pointless crap that I’ve spent the last however-many-months decluttering from my house. So not too bad…
…until my Scorp mother (with whom I went shopping) made some comment about how the Traveston Dam should’ve gone ahead because there are too many “towel heads” immigrating and using all “our” water. Deep breaths. Drop her home. Drive away. Now drinking hot coffee listening to Gershwin and telling my Libran rising self that the world is made up of all types and poisoning one’s bigotted, non-greenie mother is not a wise idea. Sigh.
Am in desperate need of a haircut too, Virgo Cat, but must wait ’til next week
-
wow, SP, that is RESTRAINT..with the mother…i would have launched into heated argument without a second thought. hee hee. but then again .
-
I had similar squeamish time with mother today as well….dark of the Moon brings out such tense mother-daughter drama !!!
-
Gawd I hope there isn’t a tense mother/daughter vibe as both mine are coming home tonight…and I ended up spending money on plants…surely plants can’t be bad ever?
-
I don’t think plants count at all darling, as those are more pets, enhancing your qi via your environment sort of thing… I thought the Zero Dark Moon Shopping Zone was only for hard core materialistic impulses, like those Christian Laboutins that would turn my feet into walking sex, haha..
I looked but did NOT touch.
-
OOOOh Christian Laboutins. Those red soles. Walking sex alright….
-
FA did find this afternoon weirder…planted my plants and it’s again lovely on my back deck… and then went and did some more recon for youngest daughter’s 21st…I had a couple of stores recommended to me, one closed at midday on a Friday, and the other was interesting but a bit more elite pricewise for food that essentially lines the stomachs of the young before they marinate themselves.
Turns out that the elder leo I know gave me the best advice…bless.
Mmmm shoes…good good bad shoes. You did well FA not engaging in tactile pleasuring of the pretty leather.
-
YES, it took all of my wing power to not succumb to the Laboutins.. I wear a 6 to 6.5 US size which means is an easy foot to accessorize. Not easy on the wallet though.
You have a party to plan! How leonine is that? I’m sure you’ll bring all necessary elements well and together, Leos are organizational wonders in that way…completely understand the restraint on the premium priced foodstuff though. It is after all the over all experience….

Hey Stress P, I have a little trick I use to make myself better when I’m in need of shearing.. not sure if you’d like it, but I take either hair cream or this Sticky Gel Spray which has the same effect as giving me Salty Beach Hair.
So I go for the tousled, messy, yes, I am a mermaid who just got her legs kind of look. Being uneven haired seems to work, I do that with a really good bronzer, very little eye make up and something soft and off shoulder.
Usually I get so enamored by the “haphazardness” of the look as it is quite comfy as well that I actually forget I need to get my hair cut to exactitude. Then when the time comes, I am actually excited to try a more sleek, and well, sexy android kinda look. Can you tell my Venus in Leo enjoys different looks?
But kudos for your restraint with the Muther, who-eeey…
-
Oooh mermaid look. I like muchly !! Yes, long ginger locks that are looking a bit long and tattered and fading into a dull blondey-weird-colour (plus there IS a little grey slithering out of the crown, damn it! I thought Caps weren’t s’posed to age:P)
I actually spent my childhood wanting “mermaid” hair, ie, hair that reaches down past one’s nipples so one can cover the bits when topless. Not that I’d walk the streets like this – but I loved the idea. Pity now my hair is tres long that age is continually taking boobies southward!!!
But it’s long enough to be mermaid hair so I shall try your hair-goop suggestion to make it look oh-so-natural and beachy care free
)-
Did you say ginger locks? Perfect for the Fey and Tousled Wood Nymph look, you want to amp up the glowing pale skin, use sheer shimmer round eyes, kind of like “can you tell what I been doing with the Centaur” kinda thing… LOVE that. Expose thine shoulders, pale lip gloss, dark mascara.
Of course, being mixed Latin/Chinese I can never pull it without it looking well…tribal.
But once you get some volume in the mess, you won’t notice the crown bit as much..seriously.

hahahaha.. you’re so much fun Mystic.

Mystic – try designer resellers for FAB vintage / recycled?
Belinda’s Frock Exchange in Clovelly has done well by me in past. As does Monica @ Di Nuovo in William st Paddo.Currently sporting 70’s Christian Dior – someone found a box of them in a warehouse in Paris…..imaculate & unworn till moi!
ALSO cancelled plans tonight in favour of sleep & early rise to scrub the palace from bottom to top – this place looks like EVERY night’s been lived like a Saturday night…. Oh that’s right – it has!!
teeheeeheeee
xox xox-
Well RockStar, that exchange thingie is great idea or the buy & sell in the daily rag, will get the quality
w/o the ridiculous price tag, thanks a mill.Green eyes squint in any sunlight, hence they are a necessity, dammit!
-
-
Had the most ridiculous argument with my mother, The Queen, today….I should know better than to be anywhere within 3,000 miles of that woman on dark of the Moon days….fool that I am.
-
too late as well just bought some gorgeous new bathers ooooh well. why is it i feel like shopping so much today? is that what the dark moon does, makes you want to go shopping but then make you regret it later?
-
Oops wish I read this earlier, was compelled to buy some new perfume which is not my usual style. I loved it today… but will I think it smells like cat wee tomorrow…. hmm?
-
Do Tango classes count? I walked into this dance studio for a free class in an effort to a) distract myself from the sheer pain of Plutonic devastation, b) reconcile myself to the fact that I am going on full on wheat grass prowln diet after tomorrow, and c) it would be a little less boring than running like a replicant on the treadmill…
Only to have the Russian dance mistress smoothly “to get the catch up one on one classes so to make good”… it did not hurt that the instructor was some dance savant who does Dancing with the Stars, he actually was a really good teacher. I do think I was the youngest person in the class by oh..at least 15 years?
-
Help ppls – I actually really DO need to shop: any one got any hot tips re A VERY FUNNY BOOK ABOUT SEX or just a hip book about ‘enjoying oneself as a woman’… I have a sister whose bday is TODAY and I feel it is my duty to throw her a tome that will both educate and loosen her up, so to speak, about the joys of XXX. She is a bit serious but has a cool sense of humour underneath, works with trust funds of dying people (hello!) and just needs a cool book. From me. IMO. Suggestions welcome!
-
‘101 ways to skin a cat?’
-
All the books on sex are funny.
-
You mean in a “this thingy goes into that thingy” kinda way??? haha
-
More like a secret nanna-wee kind of hilarity. You know what I mean.
-
OMG WTF IS SECRET NANA WEE HILARITY? Is it the reason nana’s are always jolly? Will google help me work through this? Is it funny for everyone or just nana’s? I have a lot to get done today but this has derailed me…
-
you know google is useless sometimes – I’ve come up empty on the nana wee hilarity but I’ve taken a liking to these 2 randoms
Nana, if you put your hands over your ears, you won’t smell anything!

I tried too , came up with a few nanas patting their pussies.

Oops … just got back from shopping (because my net was down at work) really got to check in more often… (^_~)
And I dropped the receipt… hahahaha. This does not bode well… I’ll probably put the dress on tomorrow and cry (>_<) -
Ha! I’m on holiday in Melbourne this weekend and just went on a lavish window shopping spree, yet purchased not a single thing. Saturn-Girl: 1, Old, Reckless Shopaholic Libra Lou: 0
-
Need to go shopping for general “stuff”, but also need to spend weekend catching up on work, whilst at same time preferring to stay home feeling all morning-sicknessey and sorry for self.
-
I bought a wind up powered radio/clock/torch today, you know the ones that don’t need electricity or batteries, just wind the crank on the side and voila!
-
brilliant simplicity…how very ” green ” of you as well.
-
-
not about shopping but very funny, did anyone get an email from virgin saying they were upgraded to gold, valued customer, blah, blah, blah then an hour or so later another one saying, sorry friday 13 to blame, big mistake, sorry for the inconvenience.
somebody is gonna get into trouble, or is it just a novel advertising campaign??
-
Oh! Now you tell me Mystic! Today I bought a turquoise ring for healing plus turquoise is Sagg birthstone and I also bought a rose quartz necklace. D’oh!
-
Still have to go shopppinggg this weekend. I will simply have to inspect anything I purchase brutally!
-
Gah! I wish I’d read this sooner. Today I bought a sushi Cookbook, a rice cooker, plus £20 worth of ingredients to make sushi with, and a pair of woolly socks. Plus, I’ve just had a row with my mother about the state of the kitchen!
-
Wind-up torches, wooly socks, sushi fixins and healing gemstones sound like exactly the RIGHT thing to buy on a dark moon!
Enjoy your down-time folks, I’ve got a date with a de-cluttering ‘to do’ list. May next week bring a date with something/one warm and upright!
-
hey has any one else seen google’s image today – talk about a dark moonie vibe on the gateway to unlimited shopping check it out.
-
I ordered some Metaphysics books from the internet…is that o.k.?
-
Le Specs are good for style and price, if you are prone to loosing sunnies.
