SE3EP14: Ready, Set,... Wait!

"Ship's Log, Stardate 94915.49:
I have become spoiled.  Specifically by the shipping speeds of AP USA, Baby (San Fran and NY), Tokyo Rebel, Harajuku Hearts, and FanPlusFriend's "Instant Shipping" items.

This time, I went and ordered a wig from DreamHolic, slow mail perfume, and some custom sized NeoLudwig items...

Google says I have visited the USPS tracking website "many times"... 

I guess after double digits, they just sugarcoat it.

I read Buttcape's post, reviewing a Dream Holic wig, and since that's the style I usually go for, and I loved the blended color combinations that my usual brand doesn't carry, (especially "Glow", a kind of ashy deep brown with blue-purple blended in), I decided to go for it.

It's still sitting in a warehouse somewhere, according to tracking, however, and since I really really wanted a new twin tail to wear sooner rather than later, I purchased the Purple Plum twin tail I mentioned here.  Whew.  Itch scratched.

That one showed up super fast (I should have mentioned them in my list above), and I'm very satisfied with it, so I'll try and quit my whining about shipping times, but man I can't wait to try the Dream Holic wig!  When it does, I'll be sure to review it, I'm especially excited about the color!


Up next, and hopefully arriving by the end of this week, are my new (well, old?  same stuff I always get, just new bottles) perfumes (colognes?) from Demeter:

Because I like it when people come up to me and say, "... does it smell like ozone to you?  I smell ozone... You smell nice, by the way, like a wizard's garden, is that from Lush?  ...I swear I smell ozone, though, I'm gonna go check the printer."

I'm just kidding.  Thunderstorm does smell a bit like ozone, though.

Anyway, I'm also going to try a few samples of other fragrance pairs, just to mix it up a bit (and maybe mix them up a bit, depending on how they actually smell in pairs).

Day Time Fragrance Blends

Petrichor + Pruning Shears

Blue Spruce + Black Russian

Night Time Fragrance Blends

Firefly + Nutmeg Icecream

Snow + Egg Nog

Frozen Pond + White Russian

The pairing I have currently smells a bit like a rose garden would just before a thunderstorm.  I imagine those other pairings would smell like coming in from the garden just before a storm, coming inside from a walk in the woods with a thermos of loaded coffee, a hot night with cold dessert, a cold night with hot dessert, and toasting friends when the power is out.  We'll see.

I also ordered a few Neoludwig items that weren't immediately available in my size or available for instant shipping - two blouses, an overdress, a vest + cape (this time, in the correct size!), and a pair of shoes.

One of the blouses I ordered.
Looking forward to a comfy, wide sleeved blouse that fits my shoulders!

To tide myself over until they arrive, I've been making collages:

Check out those shoooooes!  Also, the other blouse and overdress.

Hopefully the overdress works as well as I see it working in my head.  I want to try it with one of the new blouses, and over the cage skirt I already have (the overskirt on mine is removed, though).

Welp... I'm gonna go put on a charcoal mask and pretend there isn't a minimized window of tracking statuses that haven't changed.  It's totally not gnawing away at my insides.  I feel great, you guys.

Until next time!  Bear signing off!"
