black light special

[cupcake_goth]

We went to "glow zone" bowling last night, as part of a surprise party for a friend of ours. I did not wear the b&w stripey corset, tho' it wouldn't have made any difference to how I did -oooooh, I suck at bowling. Which is no big deal; in fact, part of the fun was how earnest The Husband was about trying to figure out what exactly I was doing to continually get gutter balls.

Shallow Fashion Details -- I like black lights. I think they're fun. So of course, I dressed to take advantage of them:
b&w vertical striped stockings

black bloomers w/ white lace trim

knee-length white floofy petticoat

black satin gothic lolita skirt w/ a center panel of white satin w/ a spiderweb lace overlay

white ruffly blouse

black frock coat

hair up in spikey buns

and black glittery devil horns that had glow-in-the-dark stripes

Besides the fun of glowing, glowing, glowing!, it was nice to see a bunch of our friends we don't get to see as often as all of us would like - none of us can ever get all of our schedules to match up more than once a month.

The bowling alley serves terrifyingly strong drinks. 3 black russians, over the course of 4 and a half hours, would not normally make me quite so tipsy. Which I'm pretty sure didn't actually cause the abysmal scores I was getting in the bowling - no, I just can't bowl. *grin*
