I like to think there's an Ankh-Morpork show (perhaps a live stage show) that's a combination of Great British Bakeoff and Forged in Fire where they bake dwarf bread and then attack a ballistic dummy with it.

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

Details of a recipe book.

All the details in tiny glass beads.

Love the pie in the oven.

Love this so much.

No wonder it took 5 yrs.

Pirate Witch~

I DIY'd my hat and corset, which are pretty important focal points in this look. I had so many inspirations, pirates, red mages, wizard and witch aesthetics, the list goes on!! This was for an event called Spell Bloom.

It took a few iterations to get here but overall happy with the aesthetic. I need to finish up some extra details like adding some appliqué detail to the gloves.

The rest of my outfits was styled using pieces from my closet.

Robe: hippie shake

Belt: la femme en noir

Long gold belt: amazon

Boots: thrifted

Bloomers: tiktok shop

V-glove: amazon

Hat and corset: made by me, using a scarlet darkness base corset and thrifted red velvet witch hat

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)
