I worked late on Friday, so I was feeling a little stir crazy by the time Saturday night rolled around. For once I paid attention to a Mercury theme: ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
seelenschwester said "bare as you dare". As a Burner chick, I can so do that. SFDs: the pinky-blue iridescent straps-and-rings harness that I bought for the Burn, gaffer tape on my nipples, mesh skirt - I removed my overskirt upon arrival - and Fluevog Truth Melanie over-the-knee boots prevented from slouching with velvet ribbons. All MAC makeup, including screamingly pink lipstick and silver eye shadow. And I still have my Burner braids.
Got to see Much Younger Woman, who brought a date. Don't they all these days? Swapped Burn stories with a friend ofdurtro93's. Got a drink bummed off me, which was... a first.
Took a Lyft to MOKEDO, the venue for my 50th birthday party, for its last ever techno party. It was small but nice; Mokedo never looked so good. Proprietress Mollie Bryan seems to be holding up well to losing her space, saying she's even looking forward to taking a break from running the place and promoting.
Even so, goddamn this town and its artificially inflated real estate market. Seattle is well on its way to becoming a company town that's low on culture - again. And unlike Amazon, Boeing didn't do everything it could to turn this place into an unaffordable theme park.
As an old-school raver, Mollie had plenty of BYOB things going on. She expressed a desire to be rid of leftover alcohol. I helped out a little too much, and I've regretted it most of the last 24 hours.
