'twas three days before the ball... I did not have a gown. my mum let me take a day off school to go into town (with my #bff @HV3RVAMP!!) to look for a dress. went into a vintage shop called Zigurat (or smth like that), and the first dress I tried on FIT LIKE A GLOVE. apparently it was custom made for someone back in the day, and OH MY LORD, if you had told me it had been made for me specifically I would have believed you. the photo doesn't really show it, but it shimmers and changes colour in the light, from green to aqua to orange -- this dress is MESMERISING. one of a kind, and the price tag had me believing it too - $175. worth every penny.
shoes I just wore my platform docs because I didn't have time to find anything else -- also first photo was before I'd done my hair, I didn't end up wearing it in plaits like that lol

Wowwww looking back at these pictures is so weird I feel so much more different now. So my prom was 4 years ago but this was my lovely dress! I still have it I kept it because it’s so cute and could possibly be worn for other events! (It doesn’t fit me anymore but maybe someone else could use it)
I hope everyone had fun at their prom this year!🪩

so if you saw my previous van post, you'd notice I was referring to her as 'she'. that's what she's always been to me, in fact I had the plan that if I ever did buy this van, I'd name her Shelby. HOWEVER -- I just got a text from the seller who referred to her as 'he', 'him', and most shockingly... 'Mr Chilli'. now I won't dismiss the name, it is pretty cool -- but who am I to deny the beautifully feminine and womanly energy that she emits? there's no doubt about it. this is NOT who she is in her soul.
of all of the adventures I'd hope 'Mr Chilli' would take me on, I never expected we'd take the path of self discovery. if all the stars align and I find myself in guardianship of this van, I'll be sure to guide her on the journey into becoming the beautiful Miss Shelby ♡

GOT THE AA TEST BACK FROM THE VAN, AND IT'S LOOKING GOOD!!1!1 spoken to my father and he said we can have a look at buying it TOMORROW!!!11! I could own my DREAM VAN. TOMORROW. also, I've booked in my restricted license test for two weeks from now, my instructor said I've got this in the bag if I do a bit more practice, ANND I think I'm gonna lop all my hair off again. long hair just isn't me, and I feel that in my soul. looking back I worried that I wouldn't suit short hair, but I've come out the realization that last time I was just an awkward tween with no sense of style, and just a really bad hair cut. this time it'll be different, I've found myself, I no longer look like a 12 year old boy and, more importantly, I think I've found a hairstyle that would suit me. in a few short weeks I could have A VAN, my restricted, and AWESOME SHORT HAIR. things are great for me rn.
