Help!

[smokingboot]

Anybody got black and/or pink fairy wings they could get to me this week (before Friday's ball?) For I am in deep doodoo re costume and for once it really isn't my fault:-( The bigger the wings the better for they have to hide a slight ladder in the back of my outfit. Not that kind of ladder, the ones you get in stockings. Oh, and if anyone knows how to stop a ladder from laddering further, I would love to know.

Any help will win you a fairy wish and possibly a pint/cake.

God, even fun is hassle right now!

I can't help with the wings, but dabbing a bit of cleear nail varnish at either end of the ladder will stop it.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it shall be done!

[evilwillow.livejournal.com]

Hope the wings go with your outfit and yes the clear nailpolish works wonders

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Those wings are perfect! Thank you so much for them!

[blackcurrants.livejournal.com]

I was about to suggest clear nail polish, so clearly three means we're right, right? Make sure you let it dry so it creates a good strong bond to block further laddering, and good luck sourcing wings.

Three's the charm thankyou:-) I will also be seeking out invisible menders...of course finding them might be difficult. Fairies, tcha!

Remember, CLEAR nail varnish. Not pink. ;o)

Sorry, can't help with the wings.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Had forgotten about that *winces*

No worries about wings. The magic Wendy fairy has lent me hers.

I don't understand why they don't coat stockings/fishnets with some nailvarnish thing to stop them from laddering in the first place. Might not be intensely comfortable to wear I guess :-D

Ew! Crunchy!

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Turrroooo. Still, I don't expect people to lick my stockings, except at the top...

You going to the Ball? Yay, and Woot!

We are also going!

I have a spare pair of black glittery bat like wings if any good.

Or if you are feeling creative shedloads of links to how to make fairy wings sites.

I was planning to make my own, but that is dependant on finishing the dresses of doom.

If no time we will go wingless as the Frock Fairies.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

I now have wings. Fairy helpers are teh win!

As to my creativity, that seems to have disappeared for now, along with timing and commonsense. Best of luck with the dresses of doom, they do sound truly complex. I hope to see them (and you, or they lose my interest) on Friday night xxx

I too was about to join the clear nail varnish conspiracy ;) May I also suggest carefully laddering the other tight leg to give it a nice symmetrical look? Fairies always strike me as the kind of people who would have laddered tights anyway...

[sixtine.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I love the idea of symmetrical ladders. :-)

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Me too! Achieving them would be a real feat of fairy magic:-)

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Without attempting symmetry (never been any good at that in anything, never mind delicate seam tearing!)I'm taking on board the spirit of your words. My fairy is going out to day to find a pair of goffboots to wear to the ball!

Hope to catch up properly soon:-)

I guess I read this too late. But if you mean next weekend, then I have both black and pink fairy wings and you could borrow either.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I'm OK now. Today I have to go and buy boots, having only just recalled about the stilletto ban! I take it you and John will be there?

[lucyas.livejournal.com]

Where? I guess not, seeing as I don't know what event actually is that you are going to.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Shame cos it's very much the sort of thing I associate with you! It's a midsummer night ball on Friday night down in Salisbury, advertised on so many ljs I thought we must all be going.

As it's not the case, I hope to catch up with you soon anyway. Here's to a very happy solstice xxx

[lucyas.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I work an evening shift on Friday nights anyway. Then my mum has an appointment to get her hearing aid at noon on midsummer's day. It is a real bugger, cos I wanted to do something special seeing as midsummer falls on a weekend. But mum has waited 2 years for a hearing aid and I had to really fight to get any appoinment for her.

I didn't know about the party, but I couldn't have gone anyway.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Hope to enjoy the pleasure of your company next time. Here's the lj community where it gets advertised: dark_masquerade. I hope everything's OK with your mum and you Xxx

[lucyas.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the details!

My mum and I are fine. Mum's hearing aid will be ready for her to pick up in a few weeks - which is good news.

love

Lucya
