December Wallpaper: Masquerade
Shaenon: I recently did a masquerade-themed commission sketch, which reminded me that I’ve been meaning to draw some Kay Nielsen-inspired Skin Horse art. Hence this awesome desktop wallpaper.
As usual, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, I will send you a link to the wallpaper. Each design comes in two different aspect ratios (regular screen and widescreen) to fit most computer monitors. Here’s the wallpaper page.
And just to be extra amazing, this month your donation will also get you the all-time most popular wallpaper to date, “La Science”:
These are both very fancy wallpapers.
Channing: I cannot actually put into words how much I dig Unity’s masquerade gown. This is a problem for me inasmuch as I am a writer and should be better at this sort of thing.
Unity and her awesome patchwork gown … I am agape. Next, Unity takes up quilting! At a quilting “Bee”!
Tip is the prettiest princess and the belle of every ball.
(TUNE: “Masquerade” from Phantom Of The Opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber)
[CHORUS:]
Can you pay?
Can you help in anyway?
Your display
Shows the cast at another of their dances!
If you pay
You will really make our day!
Kindly pay,
It’s a way to assist with our finances!
See the cast, see them all,
See the elegant ball!
See the girl who was built,
See her gown, like a quilt!
Tip’s swell,
Tigerlily as well!
They’re a couple indeed!
But which of them will lead?
Chris is there, look at that!
He’s not sure ’bout the hat …
Marcie too, with a grin!
On her skirt, atoms spin!
We see
In the back, Doctor Lee,
As she’s looking askance,
With Tip she wants to dance!
[repeat CHORUS]
Ed, I love the filk, but I believe that’s Nick in the hat, not Chris. Chris is much taller, and has long hair. And are you sure about Dr. Lee? It rather looks like she’s locking eyes with Tigerlily. I see definite three-way potential, or at least that’s how I’m shipping it.
agreed on both counts.
that said, i think that marcie is SO WAY THE EFFIN CUTEST!
I know, right?
Proof that grrls need to be at least a little plump to be their sexiest. (IMHO) Imagine Barbie doing that pose. It would look like someone missed the 10 pin on a 7-10 split! Bleaah!
mnem
Why is it that what is pleasing to the touch is considered not nearly as pleasing to the eye?
And the cobras sneak in once again!
