gurdymonkey: (pretties)



Number of garments I am wearing: Seven (four layers of false uchigi were achieved.)
Number of out-of-kingdom "accessories" in this picture: eight. (Doesn't everyone look AMAZING? Though my wig was definitely attempting a circumpolar navigation of my scalp at this point.)

Number of musicians in my personal gagaku ensemble: three.
(Left to right, Abe Akirakeiko, Ii Saburou Katsumori, Ishida no Kentarou Mitsumasa.)

Number of monkeys hanging out on my train: three.

Number of laurel medallions worn: two, both gifts from friends: one is brass and enamel and the one visible in the photo below is black stained wood with chip carving.

Number of Best Party Ever: two. Ended up spending Saturday night trying to finish off the leftovers from the moon-viewing party. Only new bottles kept mysteriously appearing. Came home with two bottles of sake, half a bottle of umeshu, two of shoju, and two red wine. I blame Staffan for the proliferating shoju bottles.

Number of ZOMGWTF Gold Ink Amazing [livejournal.com profile] danabren art: One. (Will attempt to get a decent photo or two tomorrow afternoon when I can try to shoot with some natural light, but this one was posted to FB by Lady Jocelyn Rowanwood.)

Number of painfully adorable and well-behaved* children invited to be Monkey Bearers for the procession: three. Hope someone got photos! (I had no doubts of the girls, but Robert's all of four and all the hurry up and wait was hard for him.)

Well, you get the idea. It doesn't get any better than this. Will write more when I'm not so crispy. but I knew you'd all kill me if I didn't post something.

EDIT: Jocelyn just sent me this. I still need a shot that doesn't obscure the top margin, but I didn't want to take it all the way out of its protective bits.
