Good evening,

Noir Desir updates

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:56:50 GMT

Hello! We've added some co-ordinated outfits to the collection.
Would you like to have a look?

We've added some more cute little outfits to Noir Desir.

Just click on "OUTFITS"

Thanks to everyone who spotted that the bust measurements on the dresses were little - we went back and remeasureed them - this time we did each dress three times to make sure we were sure! - and, sure enough, they do actually have bigger sizes on the busts. Dunno what happened there, but sorry! It's definitely right this time!

Have a great Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, festive yuletide or wonderful Winter Solstice!!

Snatches from a week

Monday? What's Monday?
Tuesday the wives of the Miama Five came into work to tell us about the ongoing campaigm to free their unjustly imprisoned husbands, Cubans who were in Miami to work with the US in infiltrating the Mafia Cuban exile community and who were then betrayed and sent to jail as spies.

Then I made barley risotto for tea. Yum.
Wednesday Peter, Anne-Marthe and I all went to City Hall - or the mayor's testicle as we like to call it - for Ken Livingstone's Peace Reception. Kate Hudson from CND and Lindsay German from Respect/SWP spoke. Cindy Sheeham, mother of a soldier killed in Iraq and who took up a vigil outside the White House, made a most stirring speech. She's such a natural at speaking and it's really refreshing to hear those opinions — that it's not the Iraqis to blame but her own usurping government - coming out of the mouth of a US citizen who could have eaily swallowed Bush's line. http://www.gsfp.org/
Brian Eno and Brett Anderson were there too. I met a girl who works at CND and she's really into psytrance too. She goes to all the same parties as me and she's really involved with Synergy Project (she reckons they'll get over the ticket scam). And she's going to Omniscience Saturday.
Got rat-arsed on free wine, meaning I had to make a beeline for the greasy spoon Thursday morning. Anyone that says a full English (or half an English in my case cos I couldn't afford everything) isn't the best hangover cure in the world is a big fat lier.
I saw two really burly looking builders sitting by the canal today cooing at the pair of swans who live there and feeding them bits of their sandwiches. They stopped and tried to look all butch as I cycled past. Aah

Dammit! I hate being ripped off. I had to buy something from the kiosk in Shadwell so I had enough change for the bus and, just as I was getting something, the bus came, so I grabbed my change and went. I did look at my change when the bloke gave it to me, but it didn't quite register until I'd walked off that he'd given me £17.10 change from £20 for a packet of crisps and a chocolate bar. That's £1.45 each! Right, I'm going back there later.

Well, my bike was still in Mile End, untouched, so I walked it to the bike shop to be fixed by the sully, army surplus-clad lesbian couple in the bike shop. A rainbow was shining over the Bangladeshi centre and a really old couple walked past, smiling and holding hands.

Pants and more pants...

Went to see Infected Mushroom on Saturday...
What a let-down! Call yourself psy? My grandad's more psy than you'll ever be! I think i'm having decent-psy-withdrawal symptoms. Must ask Snafu when he's playing next.

Got a flat tyre on my bike on the way back, so couldn't get anywhere for two days while it was being fixed. Got it fixed today and got another flat tyre on the way back from work. Had to abandon it in the dodgiest part of Mile End and get the bus. Wonder if it'll still be in one piece tomorrow.

Hi!

I'd like to ask if anyone would like to swap links with me.

I'm trying to build up my links page, so, if you have a Gothic Lolita-related blog, shop or info page, I'd like to hear from you.

Either a banner (above) or a text link would be great.

New stuff

Sat, 19 Nov 2005 10:47:39 GMT

Just put some new stuff on the website..

Loli on a bridge

Wed, 26 Oct 2005 22:06:06 GMT

We've added another dress...

This was taken in Wapping in the east end of London near where we live. I love all the old buildings... you can see all the old wharves and warehouses with the old signs.

Just a few more ink to clean off my work computer...

Wow! So we're finally online...

Sat, 22 Oct 2005 18:14:42 GMT

My boyfriend Peter and I started Noir Desir, our online Gothic and Lolita clothes boutique, about a year ago. And, after being based on eBay while we build our site, we are finally ready to go live with the real thing.

Yay! What do you think?
We've added a small amount of the stock for now and we'll be adding the rest in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out.

The Israeli army kidnapped my homework

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 14:35:58 GMT

I have just witnessed the best excuse for not meeting a deadline, ever.

> Hiya - sorry to say that I was planning to do CD review on way... have background research here and even bought a portable CD player at Heathrow... but Israeli security took it (with album in it) and my mobile off me (still don't have luggage) for no reason so haven't been able to do it. Apparently luggage is arriving in a bit but won't hold my breath for phone/CD player. Hope that this hasn't screwed you up too much.
On the book, have just met people who worked on it and will be able to do a good piece tonight/tomorrow so you'll definitely have it by Sunday. Sorry about hassles but not a lot I can do about it!
Hope all well....

Well it beats "the dog ate it"

Thames Festival

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:59:19 GMT

We went to the Thames Festival at the weekend...

Some of my favourite Lolis are.....

Here's a little collection of some Loli photos I've had sitting around that I really like...

Image heavy..

New colour

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:25:23 GMT

I had lilac hair for a few days...

It was Crazy Colour Lilac and it needed to re-do it cos it only stuck to the pink ends - the blonde roots turned out grey - but the shop had run out, so I used Lavendar instead and it's a lot darker now, but i much preferred the lilac.

Oh and my eyebrows are pink

dododo...

Welkom naar mijn erste LJ post in Nederlands. Ik weet dat ik veel fouten zal maken! Ik zal mijn best proberen.
Het was niet een goede ochtend. Toen ik naar Rabobank ging om naar mijn Nederlandse les te heb, mijn leraar was niet daar. Ik fietste zo naar werk.
Onderweg naar werk, was ik bij de politie gestopt omdat ik naar een protester ziet. "Woon je in de buurt?" zei een politieman in een luid manier. "Ik dacht dat jouw een protester was omdat je roze haar hebt." "Nee, ik ga naar werk, zelfde zoals elke dag."
Hij weet niet dat mijn medewerkers en ik in de krant over de protest gaan schriven. Hoe zeg je protest in Nederlands?
http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk
http://www.redpepper.org.uk/KYE/x-kye-Sep2005.htm
Nu, de licht hierboven mijn bureau doet niks. Ik moet in de donker werken! Wat jammer ... ik kan niet het doen.
Oh, mijn agenda zegt dat ik morgen naar mijn les moet gaan. @!"***@!
Kleine dingetjes, maar ik heb niet meer te schriven.

Nederlanders, alsjeblieft, ik heb help nodig met mijn taal leren..
Waar zitten de fouten?
