Fixer-Uppers, Tuesday

[eyebrowgoesup]

Spock donned approximately half of his closet before reporting to work on Tuesday. It was not supposed to be this cold. It was definitely not supposed to be this cold in July, and looking over toward the mainland revealed a landscape reminiscent only of those holos he had seen of the ice planet near Vulcan. It would be most excellent if this state of affairs did not continue for long, because he suspected he would develop hypothermia if it did. Vulcans were not built for the cold.

The heat in Fixer-Uppers was cranked up full blast, and Spock was hard at work. The shop was open.

'Dite's Decadent Delights, Tuesday afternoon

[trigons_child]

Raven had teleported to the store to avoid the cold (and the hats), particularly since she had Joni with her, but that didn't stop an adorable pink hat from mysteriously appearing on the top of the cat's head anyway. Then she realized Fandom's whimsy was not to be thwarted and she had a hat of her own.

She did manage to snap a picture of Joni before she pawed the pink monstrosity off her head and began to explore the store. Hercules had had a fine tradition of knocking over displays when he'd been in the store, and while she tried to keep an eye on Joni, Raven had little doubt she'd be following in Herc's footsteps.

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Well. A bit of chaos always perked Alice's mood considerably. She greatly appreciated her new hat, especially the rather fetching earflaps, and she had caught several pairs of both pink and blue baby booties on her way to work this mornng.

Was that the weather's way of suggesting she ought to be shopping for clothes for the bump? At least now she had a head start on that.

Today would be hat- and shoe-themed, Alice decided. She worked on creating a playlist for that, in order to amuse herself.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday

Even though she knew that the heat was working, Mary couldn't help shivering behind the front desk. She'd put on a sweater, then a jacket on top of that, but she still felt cold. However, she was drawing the line at putting on any of the wool hats that Gunther kept bringing from outside. He'd swapped his own chef's hat for a reddish orange-yellow hat with ear-flaps and a large pompom on top. It looked very silly on him.

Community Center Class: The Wearing of Hats! // Tuesday Evening

[atreideslioness]

"Today we are going to fit hats to faces," Ghanima began cheerfully. "Sadly, not all hat types suit all heads and faces, and so we must adjust our wants to our needs."

She picked up a marker to write on the large notepad that had been set up on an easel. "Let's look at what makes up a hat. Typically, a hat may consist of three - or more - main parts:"

* Crown, the portion of a hat covering the top of the head.
* Peak (British English), visor (American English), or bill, a stiff projection at the front, to shade or shield the eyes from sun and rain.
* Brim, an optional projection of stiff material from the bottom of the hat's crown horizontally all around the circumference of the hat
* Puggaree or riband (British) or hatband (American), a ribbon or band that runs around the bottom of the crown above the brim.
* Sweatband, the strip of leather (or sometimes ribbon or other material) attached to the inner circumference of the hat to stop sweat from soiling the main body of the hat and may be adjustable with a cord or rope on certain hats.
* Lining, for some hats there is a silk lining, often bearing the maker's name and label.

"Each of those things can affect how a hat fits you, and how it looks on you."

"For instance, someone with a prominent jaw face could wear moderately low crown, not too full, sometimes with slight taper crown. A big crown, a big brim would make him look more massive. A dinky crown and brim would make him look silly. A medium brim, therefore, with a full snap brim will help balance the jaw. Too sharp or a back roll will also seem to make the jaw come forward. Side dents help keep fair amount of crown front area without having the entire crown too full and massive. Don't tilt the hat too far back, or then you're just bringing your jaw forward."

"I've brought a few hats that I've imported from Dune just for this class, and they're over there," she said, gesturing to set of large boxes. "Try them on, see if you can decide what type of hat they are, and if it suits you."

The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Evening

[icecoldfrost]

Emma did not approve of this change of weather, thank you kindly, nor of the pink and blue baby booties that had been raining from the sky on her way to work.

She'd had to dig out her fall wardrobe to keep from freezing, which was just WRONG in the middle of July, and placed a large box by the door for those laden down with hats and booties. Eric could always donate them to needy children or something for the tax write-off.

Devil's Nest is open, and Emma might strangle the DJ if he tries to play Christmas music in July.

Pixie Dust; Tuesday [ 07/19 ].

Oh, boy, did Ariel have her work cut out for her today or what? Naturally, with the sudden drop in weather, she had to go on into the back to pull out a bunch of coats and sweaters and other cute winter wear to set in the front of the shop, and move all the swimsuits and summer dresses back.

Sure, in another week or two she'd have to switch around yet again, but, well, that was just the job of an effective shop manager! And it was actually a little fun, too.

The Now Hiring!! sign was in the window, and Pixie Dust is open!

Cafe Luke's [Tuesday]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie couldn't help but miss Bobby extra as she ran through town to work today. She'd had to dig her winter things out of the very bottom of her closet, and she was still shivering as she hurried in the door. Her fingers were too cold to text -- the gloves didn't help -- but once she was in, she was sending pictures and wish you were here!!!!! themed texts. She'd also picked up a bunch of the baby booties and hats, because she was sure they'd come in handy sometime if not now.

And then she was just going to make some soup or something. Because god.

Barbeque in the Park [Tuesday Afternoon]

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

After a fun and interesting class that included hunting, Seifer had headed back over to the mainland with Hyperion, and had carved up his kill and a few others that were still around. It had taken several trips to haul it all back to the park, even with Ifrit's help. After the last load was brought back, he made a short trip to T&C to pick up supplies, then he was back at the park.

It didn't take long for him to have a fire pit set up and a merry fire going, with huge chunks of meat roasting on the spit above the flames. Seifer himself was kicked back, beer in hand, enjoying the warmth.

Sometimes, having a huge beast looking Guardian Force hanging around. Even if he was still lounging by the fire, waiting for his dinner as well.



[[Barbeque time. Don't mind Ifrit, he'll just glare at you and keep the fire going and the meat from being burnt.]]
