Friendslist cleaning and a link

[thistlechaser]

Just a heads up: I deleted about a dozen journals off my friends list. All of them have been very idle, about a year since last posting. If by chance I deleted you and you're still active, please leave a comment and I'll refriend!

In a few cases, I deleted journals that were used only to repost things from forums -- since I read them on those forums, no need for a LJ feed as well.

And to give this post a little more purpose, have a link to Beautiful costumes! I've never watched a Miss (Universe|America) show, I have zero interest in such things, but these costumes were amazing. Most of them anyway. The island/water ones tended to be the prettiest, but I loved most all of them.

I dunno if you deleted me or not, but my journal has basically no action so you might have...if you did please un-delete me because I like reading your posts!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

You're friended, yep! And your name is really familiar, I know we've known each other on LJ for ages, but did we originally meet here? Or were you a MU* person?

[pure-trance.livejournal.com]

I have no. idea. how we met lol. I have never done a MU/MUSH whatever...I don't even really get how it works lol. I don't play MMOs (I played RO for a while back in the day but that's all)...not really sure how we met...anime? Some video game??

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I see you have ms_manna friended and her site as an interest. Maybe it was through her fics? Or maybe anime, too... I used to be big into that, long while back.

[pure-trance.livejournal.com]

Possibly...it was a really long time ago though so I have no idea...could be anime.

Also I didn't discover the administration on my own, it could have even been you who introduced me lol....noooo idea...

Well, it's been a long time, so it's all good. :)

Aw, I think you removed me. I don't post any journal entries on lj any more (don't like their policies) but I still comment a lot! It's okay though if you'd rather only have active journal-posters. I know it can seem a bit weird with a bunch of lurkers! I'm on twitter (as liedra) and my own website (liedra.net) if you're curious anyway. :)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

You're exactly the type of person I was worried about! Re-friended. I know a lot of people don't post anymore but do comment.

Oh wow, thanks for that link on costumes!
It's some awesome reference material.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Welcome! I've looked through them a couple times now and see new stuff every time.

This

Is my favorite blog for costumes. Historical, fashion oddities and the like, jewelry, and headwear :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, amazing stuff! Thanks for the link!

Some of those are just absolutely crazy. I'm not sure it was necessary to label Miss USA as she was only slightly less obvious then Miss Guam. Not sure which I like best, Miss Isreal or Miss Serbia. Although Miss Poland is definitely up there for me as well.

Also, because I think this every time: "I'm amazed they still refuse to accept the contestants from the Andromeda Galaxy..." I get it that "Miss Universe!" sounds better then just "Miss World" but what's next? Miss Space-Time?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

The USA one was by far my least favorite of the bunch. I liked the creative ones. The ones that were just flags? Not so much.

I might watch Miss Space-Time! Women dressed up in all periods from long ago and way future?

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

It would certainly allow for almost unlimited amounts of creative freedom since you couldn't really judge that a style wouldn't happen in the future. There you go world, another great free idea.

I'm still here! I read, but don't comment often because while I'm interested, I don't have anything to add to the conversation.

Oops, okay! Re-added! (Sorry!)
