Damn, I think I'd have too much fun with the Rome thing to even care about any mystery going on!
...someday, I do hope to go to one of those, though. Mystery dinners, that is. If I want to conjure up a Roman mood I can always try making a dinner from those period recipes floating around, and watch I, CLAUDIUS yet again. My cats think they're the Imperial family already.
Thought about that, but I've got a) no place to do the drilling (small apartment, no real porchspace) and b) nothing to sew them on to... I'd like it to be as freestanding as possble so I can lace it on and not have to sew a base under it.
HAH! Great name. When I made my first version of this (in a contest - one hour to make a costume from junk) I called my self Tech Girl with my sidekick The Penguin.
Hmm, that I could do outside, I have that kind of room I think... but how to heat the needle? Keep in mind I'm already looking at easily 300 CDs for the torso bit and probably another 200 for the skirt... so just a needle in a lighter won't do, and I'm not sure a candle would get it hot enough... and I doubt that I can get to an electrical outlet outside, tho' I could be wrong.
Do AOL still supply endless CDs on request? Sort of. I have a large number of friends who are retail schlobs, and they're all too happy to empty out their bins for me at work. Also, I'm in a college town so a brief swing around the apartment complexes at mail time leads to literal cases of them addressed to 'resident'.
Candles are dodgy... I recall one luscious lady who surrounded her bath tub with these "tealights"....and ended up romantically setting the (acrylic) bathtub ablaze..... Candles I always feel are a nono outside of lanterns (I have a few of those in case of power cuts)

Mystery

That's a myth.

Truly, a deep mystery. I shall have to give it due meditation.

Currently I'm looking for a glue that'll hold to fishing line well without burning through it, making it brittle, or requiring heat.

Have you no gas ring?
