I came across a post on Torill Mortensen’s blog with a youtube comedy ad for a women’s version of Wii, called Shii. The video was funny, so I figured I’d share it here:

The ad does hit a nerve, because some of the games shown pretty much exist already. There are plenty of games for the Nintendo DS targetted at girls where you cook and do other ‘girly’ things. I haven’t actually tried any of them, but they do seem to be a bit popular (though I have a bad feeling they’ve got to be boring).

… FairyGothMother’s website as they’ve got lots of new stuff on now. And since I saw many nice pieces, I figured I might as well take the opportunity to make a blogpost about it since I don’t really have that very much to write about these days.

The first item that caught my intention was this little gem:

Now, I really love this outfit for some reason. It’s dramatic, it’s a burlesque and it’s very cool. I can’t really think of any occasions where I, personally, would wear it, but I think I would be willing to find such an occasion just to be able to wear it. If I could afford buying it, that is..

The second item I found that I liked was:

Now, this dress is not the dramatic type of the previous one, but it’s very pretty and could be worn for all sorts of occasions where you want to wear a pretty dress that will be noticed.

This is a gorgeous bustle (plus corset and bloomers) and I adore it. It’s another piece I’m not sure where I’d wear, maybe for a masquerade or something, but I’d love just having it and would probably be happy just wearing it around the house in the evening. It’s burlesque and I might have to take up burlesque dancing just as an excuse to get this type of clothing!

I also found some nice new corsets there that I love the look of:

Pale blue and romantic. I’d probably wear this as underwear underneath a nice dress, as a little evening surprise for a certain gentleman.

Another pretty and romantic corset.

And last:

The nightgown is pretty, but the lace negligee is gorgeous. Again a bit of a dramatic piece, but I like that.

All in all, I like FairyGothMother’s new collection (there are many more outfits that I haven’t shown here, I just picked out some things that I really liked).

Here’s a post simply showing some items of clothing that I like and would love owning:

So turned out to be a lot of shoes! And I’d love owning many of them, but alas, I have very difficult feet and little money.
