So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get myself a dressform for my sewing. For those who don't know what those are, its a mannequin that resembles a real person on a 1 to 1 scale. The one I was going to get happens to be adjustable. Now the dressform I wanted was a Dritz Twin Fit Medium. They normally sell for 150-230 bucks depending on the vendor.

Well I didn't exactly have 150 laying around until I talked to my mom and she pointed out something to me. I had savings bonds dating back to 1989 that my grandparents gave me and continue to give me every year. So of course, since its now 2010, there's a good bit of money on those. I cashed two for the dressform.

THEN I discovered Jo Ann's was having a sale on dressforms. The one I wanted was going for 130, which is 20 bucks cheaper than anyone else online (and 90 bucks cheaper than normally offered at Jo Ann's). So I'm all like 'well shit!' and go to buy one online only to discover it's not in stock and they can't sell me one at the sale price. I decided to go to Jo Ann local branch and order one (thus buying it at the sale price, bwaha). The only disadvantage to this is that I have to pick it up from the store when it comes in.

Totally fine by me.

On a different note, a band that was once goth has turned Steam Punk. I'm talking about Abeny Park, they're out of Seatle. Their sound hasn't changed much since their original gothic stuff, but the steam punk airship pirate part of them that's more recent? It is love. I'll have a copy of the CD for listening and DLing up later.
