Shadow Ritual

ShadowShadow1Shadow2Shadow5Shadow4Shadow6Shadow7

______I obtained this skirt recently on sale and decided that it makes me feel like an evil princess.  Yes, an evil princess.  Evil Princess Ali--I do like the way that sounds.  Fear my evil powers, O peasants.  I guess if I even had an evil power, it would be to turn things into sandwiches with a single glance.  Because turning innocent things, such as small children, into sandwiches is rather evil if you think about it.

______Anyway, I feel quite free right now 'cause yesterday I had the wax cleaned out of my ears and it's just great.  Didn't you totally want to know that?  I'm gross, I know, for sharing this with you all.  But it's so worth it because I feel awesome.  It is as if a weight has been lifted... but from my ears.  I can hear a little better, and even though the experience made me a bit dizzy, I feel like a new woman ready to take on the world.  I even felt a breeze in my ears.  Have you ever felt a breeze in your ears?  If you haven't, it's similar to the breeze you feel when you're wearing a skirt, but it's in your ears.  Yeah, big shocker.  It's kind of invasive, yet weirdly fantastic.  It's a good kind of invasive.  Does that still make it invasive?

______I stopped by Starbucks after the aforementioned ear appointment and one of the barista guys told me that I looked very nice, and asked me why I was so dressed up.  I told him that it was for no reason, really, because I'm sure that telling him I dressed up to have my ears cleaned and to do my grocery shopping wasn't the answer he'd expect.  I should've told him that I dressed up like so because I was an evil princess who was reigning over her evil princess kingdom, and then I should have turned him into a sandwich, snatched my green tea, and dashed away.  How dastardly and perfect that would have been!

  2. That really WOULD be an evil power. Gosh, turning children into sandwiches?
    .....
    Man, I'd definitely abuse that power. Some of the kids that come into Golden Corral need to be turned into sandwiches.
    Haha, and now you've got me wondering if I need to have my ears cleaned out...I probably do.
    So right, on to the outfit part. I saw that first photo Ali and thought: "Well va va voom, look at that girl's gams!" Haha, you definitely could pull off the evil princess look ;)

  3. I think the guy was actually asking: "are you dressed up for your boyyyfriiieeend?". :-D In his own stupid way at least :-D If you said you were actually an evil princess that would have been hilarious :-D And what a princess you are! Gorgeous! And with whole new ears :-D

  4. You are such a stunner. And oh my gosh I giggled so much at your ear wax story. I have never felt the breeze in my ears and now I want to go and get my ears cleaned. I never knew that was a thing!

  6. Evil Princess Ali? I can definitely roll with that. And I don't blame you for dressing up for ear cleaning and grocery shopping. There's absolutely nothing wrong with looking damn good for no reason. :)

    And not to be equally creepy, but I had my ears cleaned once too and it was amazing. AMAZING. Everything was just so...clear...and loud. I completely feel you. Huzzah for clean ears!

  8. Wow, this is breathtaking! You look so great in all black. I think your ear cleaning story is funny...I had to get mine cleaned once as a kid and it was very liberating! haha, glad you feel a bit better. Fun getting compliments from strangers too! Very Flattering.
