So yeah, thinking about last minute Fruba cosplay.... maybe the easiest thing to do for Yuki is to Thrift Store a pastel shirt, and then alter the collar, then get some ribbons and hook clasps to make fake buttons. Cause those shirts aren't designed to be possible. Otherwise, do school uniform, which is just black shirt + trim + tie. For Momiji, we should just drag Jeremy into the women's section and find something pink/light green and frilly. Kyo's pants are quite cool, but should be Thrift-Storable as well. Tohru's inside shirt should be easily ThriftStorable, but then again, that's what I thought about my Kagura.

Oh! People! I need your help! What are some places I should go when in Europe? We'll probably arrive in Paris 7/1, and then mommy has to be in Copenhagen by 7/8, and then we leave from there 7/12. I'm thinking France-Italy-Denmark, and then maybe go to some Germany/Netherlandy places between the 8th and 12th. But anyway, which cities/sites MUST I go to because they are the spiffiest thing ever??

Paris.
Florence.
Venice.
Barcelona.
SKIP MADRID. IT SUCKS.
Small French villages (rural France is gorgeous and full of little marvels).
London.

First of all, how long is your trip? Trying to pack too much stuff into a vacation is a big mistake. If you're only going to be there from 7/1 to 7/12, stick with visiting just France & Denmark, possibly with a day trip from Denmark into either the Netherlands or Germany.

In France, visit Paris (but don't stay too long!) the Chateaus of the Loire Valley, and the small towns in the Dordonge (sp?) valley. If you get the chance, visit the cave paintings in the D-valley (the real ones, not the copys) - they'll just blow your mind. Otherwise, don't worry about seeing sights or visiting touristy places. You'll enjoy yourself more just wandering around the smaller towns, popping into shops and cafes, and sketching the surroundings.

Let me know how Copenhagen turns out - I'm debating extending my stay in Europe next summer by attending an architecture program there, but I'll like to know what the city is like first.

If you have more time, check out some of the cities the other person mentioned. Barcelona is a particularly good choice, especially as an extension of your tour of France. (If you do go to Barcelona, check out the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, half way between Barcelon and the border - it's such a head trip!)

Anyway, sounds terribly exciting. You'll have to tell me your plans in detail when you get back to CA!!
