New review time at Gothic Charm School!

Show And Tell: Noxenlux Chapeaux!

Oooh, hats. Lots and lots of hats!

Thank you to the Finishing School of Flail, staxxy, maiaarts, and the Stroppy One for proofreading and poking!

And now, if you lovely folks could help spread the word about the new review, that would be wonderful. Thank you!

Hmmm. Opinions, please?

Hey, all of you people who read Gothic Charm School and my LJ: what DO you think of GCS now including reviews? My question is prompted by this series of Tweets from someone:

You seem to have misunderstood my tweet. I don't want to see reviews. I want to read your opinions. And no, your review of Noxenlux Chapeau is not an opinion, it's a REVIEW. I regret recommending your book and blog to a friend now...I feel like you're trying to sell things to your readers. I don't want to feel like I've just walked into an airport.

Now I know, you can't please everyone. And lots and lots and LOTS of readers have written in asking for my opinions/reviews/suggestions about all sorts of merchants and artists. But I guess this person's comments just ... I don't know. Not rubbed me the wrong way, but did make me stop and question things.

So. Reviews? You like? You don't like?

I guess I'm posting a lot today: Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on the previous post. You're all very right, I shouldn't let things like that get to me. I am looking into ways to re-organize things over at GCS so the reviews are a little more separated from the advice posts, with the help of the always-awesome leenerella.

In other news: I just got off the phone with my recruiter, and I have a job interview on Monday afternoon! Whoo! (Watch me get a job just as all of my writing projects take off. It's the way things go in my life.)

In other other news, ooooh, the mail brought me spaaarkly pink jewelry. Mmm, pink rhinestone choker and bonus bracelet.

In (::stops to count::) other other other news, I'm trying to decide if I want to put something through a dye bath or not. I have a black & pink striped skirt and matching cincher/belt, made for me long ago by Louise Black. ( Picture behind the cut! )

The problem is, the pink is a touch too coral, not my true cupcake pink. (Plus the skirt is a shade or two lighter than the cincher.) I'm considering putting them both in a black dye bath. You know what this means, right? Time for a poll!
