Meet June!

I bought June with intention of making her a POC Sailor Moon (she originally had cute little buns) but I neglected to totally read her listing saying she came from a smoking household. I tried everything to get rid of the smell, using tea tree oil in a last ditch effort (and accidentally DOUSED here in it, poor thing).

The cigarette smell is gone and the tea tree oil has lessened so I set about putting together a cute outfit. I had to take her buns out to wash her and I could not get them to look right again so just did pony tails. I put her in the cute Woodstock outfit I'd been saving, she looks so good in it!! I did swap out one thing; the outfit originally came with a yellow plastic purse with Woodstock on it but...

...this Snoopy looking plush backpack from one of the Clueless dolls works even better!! So cute:)

She may not be Sailor Moon but she reminds me Usagi in her regular outfits:)

Redressed by Cat Sebastian

What if I was a middle-aged seamstress and you were a selkie vigilante and we kissed? Haha...... just kidding! 

                                                           ... unless?

Never thought I’d be talking about short stories here, but it’s monster loving o’clock and here I am. I’ll keep it short.

Redressed is a little treat for fans of Sebastian’s Turner Series* (The Soldier’s Scoundrel, The Lawrence-Browne Affair, The Ruin of a Rake, A Little Light Mischief), but it works just fine as a standalone. 

The main character, Sarah Turner, spent most of her life looking after herself and her siblings in less than ideal conditions and now, when she can afford to slow down, she finds out she doesn’t know how to do that. In order to get her family off her back over this, she decides to visit her younger brother and his partner (the main couple in The Lawrence-Browne Affair), determined to fail at relaxing so hard nobody will ever ask her to try that ever again. And anyway, there are news of a grisly murder in the neighbourhood, and Sarah is a little curious about what went down there.

Shit gets real when she meets a woman who is as beautiful as she is mysterious. She seems to know something about the murder and Sarah finds herself tagging along to help dish out some vengeance. Oops. 

The overall tone is light, with lots of banter and just the right amount of yearning. There is less character development than in other books in the series, but that’s perfectly fine in a short story and the characters are lovable enough as they are. 

Content warnings: I don’t think there is anything you need to worry about too much. There are allusions to past domestic violence, some minor non-graphic violence and of course mentions of the murder. (Oh, and a conversation about decapitation, but again, not particularly graphic.)  As far as sexual content goes, some shenanigans of that kind are heavily implied.

*Regency LGBT+ stories that I can highly recommend
