Goth is the hip & edgy fashion thing this autumn. What makes me say this? Chanel has brought out a limited edition black nail polish (rah-rah clicky link!)
I'm very slightly tempted to buy a bottle, because the idea of black nail polish from Chanel is *funny*. Don't try to deny it. I just don't know if it's funny enough to spend that sort of money when I'm fully stocked up on OPI's black polish.
But I guess it IS time to check the other high-end makeup lines, and see what items they're marketing directly tome ElderGoths with steady jobs. I am in the market for a new favorite lipstick ...

I'll stick with OPI, thanks. Though I do need to go get some Vamp.
I haven't seen any clothing marketed toward today's ElderGoth yet. Too early in the season, or are they just stuck in the throes of Awful 80s Fashion? (Seriously, Target just about made me cry.)

I am still sulking over our not having an H+M here.
My complaint about the 80s fashion flashback thing is that no one is bringing back the things *I* want. I don't want tunics and leggings. I want fitted dresses with full skirts, dammit!

And in vaguely-related news, it should be noted that the Ren Faire opens in two weeks. Which is quite not your thing, I'm sure, but it does have the hat vendor with a large supply of wee cunning little top hats in a variety of colors with either matching or contrasting feather trim, for somewhere around $20-25 apiece. If you want one (or several), let me know -- even if I can't make it out there myself, Arrangements can be Made.

A PURITAN? No. fucking. way. Get out of town! If collapseylamb is reading this: The guildmaster's wife was matron of honor at my wedding, and I'd be teaching the language class and rehearsing for Puritans right now if I weren't on bed rest. If it's not too much trouble, could you please, please be sure to tell the guildmaster that I may not be looking at him or speaking to him or even showing up this year, but the love is there.
Also, what size and height are you? I'm 5'5", roughly a size 8, and have many many costume pieces currently in storage because of the rassenfrassen bedrest, to which you are welcome. Ping me here or via the Puritans email group.

I'm off to Burning Man tomorrow (I don't know if I should shriek or cower), so is it okay if I get in touch when I get back in a week and a half? It's short notice for opening of Faire, but hey.
Small, small, small world. :)

I have, however, discovered that Bourgeois makes a really, really, really similar color that feels far better on my lips and is available at Sephora for half the price.
For black fingernail polish, I don't wear it much anymore, but when I do I use Wet and Wild. It lasts just as long as the more expensive stuff. Although I do like OPI's white nail polish.

I want to see the Egyptian-inspired looks coming back.

I have no problem with goth being in for fall -- all it means is that when I hit H&M next month I'll drop a paycheck. Newport News has some corporate gothtastic things right now -- a few days ago I ordered two soft, drapey jersey tops and a scrunchy black velvet shoulder bag. But I want everything everywhere. I want everything Art of Adornment has right now. I want the rosary watch fob!

OPI for me.

Of course, I'm not actually Goth, I just wear a lot of black. Really. A lot.
Me, I like to blow my dough on custom latex and couture Victorian dresses (red silk shantung, YOW!).

I hear NYX might havea similar color, and am looking into it.
Yes, Chanel making black nail polish is greatly amusing to me.

It is entirely possible that we work very close to each other, though I'm not actually in the building with the Big Wagon. I'm half a block away from the wee H&M, though.

Okay, I'll admit I'm not the best posterchild for Corporate Goth, but I don't see why it can't be done.
"Revamp", huh? I'm going to have to look for it.

I may very well need some of that DIY advice. Maybe even advice on places that stock the basics.

In February I think I posted (either in my LJ or the fashionablegoth LJ) about the nifty stuff at the boutiques and outlet malls on my Portland trip.
