Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for neglecting this blog. >.< It’s just that in between work, I’ve been resting. Crimefighting is always serious business after all. If it helps any, Honeycute and Sugar are pissed at me for not lounging around much with them anymore.

Also, in the few pockets of free time I have, I’ve been addicted to this fairly new application called Polyvore. According to its creator, 2ndfashion, it’s “a free, web-based tool for creating collages and scrapbooks,” and “also a vibrant community of creative and stylish people.” What kind of collages and scrapbooks exactly, you may ask? Well, it has everything to do with style and creativity - hence, most sets, as collages and scrapbooks are called in Polyvore, are fashion-oriented.

Basically, what you do is you choose a photo that’s hosted online that catches your fancy, then use Polyvore’s bookmarklet or Clipper to capture the photo for Polyvore usage. Once captured, you can name it, then proceed to include it into your set, where you do virtual scrapbooking, or basically just cut, paste, clone, and mix-match images as you please. Obviously I’m no good with instructions, so I’m very glad the owner of Polyvore created a short demo presentation in the Help section of the site.

I think what’s really great about it is that you can just get any image online as you please and then mix and match them. The instructions and controls are a bit difficult for first-timers, but just be patient and check out the Help section if you’re lost. ;3

Here’s a set I came up with. It’s actually very similar to what I’m wearing right now. d^v~b What do y’all think?

For those who were annoyed at the lack of the lesbian couple Haruka+Michiru/Uranus+Neptune in the Pretty Guardian Sailormoon series, enter Last Friends (ラスト・フレンズ). (PinayYuri would fangasm I’m sure, but I dunno about the other Sailormoon fans…)

Synopsis

Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru’s mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru’s in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life. –jade_frost

EDIT: STOP THE PRESSES! According to ~stalkerinstinct of Livejournal and Multiply, alas, the girls have very little in common with Haruka and Michiru. T________T However, I will not go cry off into a corner, I will continue to hold out precious, precious hope that Michiru finally realises Ruka is 100000000000000x better than her current boyfriend AND the male lead put together! >o
