I got…
… some money. By Mom.
… incredible black and gold velveteen bedclothes with a fleur-de-lis-and-leo print… they make me feel like Liberace (only less dead)
. Also by Mom.
… soap roses. By (yeah, right) Mom.
… candied almonds. By a friend who candied them herself.
… a blackboard cup. By another friend.
… lavender soap. By yet another friend.
… a voucher for a gourmet dinner. By Hubby and Sonny.
… a CD: 'Gravity of Light' by Tarot (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9rFH9voBtY). Also by Hubby.
… spiked leather cuffs. By Bro who looks like Kane from C&C and swore he'd get me a whole bunch of SM equipment before I reached the mythical age of 100. Bro is just cool
.
… Some wine and pie in a basket, for this Little Red Riding Hood feeling. By a friend.
… a cosmetics voucher. By yet another friend.
… black-and-baby-pink satin pyjamas to go along with Mom's bedclothes. By the in-laws.
… some money. Also by the in-laws.
… an incredibly huge ring featuring a rhinestone-covered, crowned skull. By my Texan niece who bought it at a Powwow. It may not be very native in style but it's so camp it's actually rather cool.
All in all, it was a very Liberace Christmas. Just fine for me, as he is one of my fashion icons, along with Snoop Dogg
