lure of the disco

I should have made this post days ago, but it's been crazy around here (both with work, being one of the only supermarkets still open in the area, and at home, with travel preparations – nothing to do with the flooding, mind you. Our house/suburb is thankfully unaffected). Better late than never, right?

By now you've probably heard about the Queensland floods. An outdated scale of things – the actual affected area would be a lot bigger, as 75% of the State had been declared a disaster zone, and that's not counting flooding in other States, over the border. 200,000 people have been affected, and even though no one I know are in dire situations (a few of them have flooded houses, but they are all safe), it is seriously heartbreaking, watching the footage on TV, all the articles and photos online.

So, basically I'm saying, if you can, please give. Some places you can do so:

Preimier's Disaster Relief Appeal
Australian Red Cross
RSPCA flood donation

Some fandom efforts, too, in the tradition of auctions like help_haiti or help_chile:

Help QLD @ DW
Media auction @ LJ
Fic auction @ LJ

For more up to date information on the floods, both the ABC and Brisbane Times are good sources, or the #QLDFloods/#QLDFlood tags on Twitter.

Thanks, guys.

Due to time and resource limits, I cannot guarantee the timeliness in fulfilling requests, but it helps if the celebrity you're requesting/suggesting: is not a scene kid or Suicide Girl; has a link to galleries or a collection of images; has not been iconned many times over by other makers.

I specialise mostly in Asian celebrities, as well as musicians, so they may or may not catch my attention more than others, but of course it's always good to branch out!

Currently iconning:

REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED

I am working away at a new icon post - Chang Chen, for the curious. He is lovely. Anyway. In the meantime, I'd like to take this opportunity to do some shameless self plugging. Because if I had a middle name, it would be "Shameless Plug".

for four/five weeks while steak is overseas with no access to photoshop. But really who needs PS when you're having a lovely holiday? :D

Edit to add: since I'll be gone a fair while, feel free to request or suggest anyone you'd like to see me icon in the future! Links to caps or galleries would be a bonus!

Not an update, though there are a few batches in the works. Remember the "Around the World" icon challenge snezana ran on GJ? Well, it's moved over here, being taken over by bollywood and racetrack, with a spiffy new journal, and a bunch of countries still available. Claim yours today!

Again, I've claimed China, with Australia and New Zealand as my secondary. Onwards and upwards!

You know what I love about Firefox? The extensions. More specifically this one download manager extension that let you download all pictures/links on one page. Terrifically useful for getting all the icons without right-click, save as to hundreds of them. On the off-chance you haven't come across this extension before: DownThemAll. I swear by it.
