Off to Goth Night

Myself, tolkiencub, and cass404 before we headed off to the 80s/Goth night at the CHAC. It was a lovely night, and I absolutely will be attending as often as I can. Note for other Seattle Goths who've been around forever: tolkiencub and I agreed how the venue, the music, and the general ambience reminded us of the good parts of the Catwalk. (Everyone, sigh with nostalgia on 3! 1 ... 2 ... 3! siiiiiigh)

Later on there will be a post about my favorite YA vampire book, which I re-read last night with a more critical eye than usual, because I was worried that my flaily-hand glee over it had blinded me to the same sorts of horrible issues that plague the Twilight series. But no! Vampire Kisses is well-written, and is not full of skin-crawling issues, hurrah! So yeah, a post on that later.

I just read the back covers of the bad vampire novels you passed to me. I think I just discovered standards I didn't know I had... Wow, those look horrific.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Honey, I *told* you they looked like complete crap! There are times when I want to eradicate the entire "paranormal romance" genre off the planet.

[theda.livejournal.com]

But the fun ones exist, they are just so few and far between..

Vampire Kisses is adorabobble!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

It is! But I was worried that in my glee with it, I had maybe glossed over horrible things.

(I've already pre-ordered the 5th book in the series. It comes out in ... August? September? Something like that.)

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

I love those books! Next one is due out in July!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Have you read the manga? It is just as adorable.

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Didn't realize it was out there until I went to her web site... :D

DO WANT PINK CORSET!!!!!!!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

That particular icon of yours mesmerizes me every time. "That was just some of my tricking!"

The pink corset was made by Astrid at Blooddrop (http://www.blooddrop.com/Corsetry.html), and it is wonderful.

Please post in advance when you go if you can. I'd love to sync up.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I love the outfit. You always look good, but this one is great.

[sparkymonster.livejournal.com]

Such a fantastic picture. I am lusting after your pink tricorn so much. You pull it off very well.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! I'm trying to decide which miniature hat I will wear this Saturday night, so I can then base the rest of my outfit around it.

[minim_calibre]

I'm not laughing at you. Honest.

But this is like me trying to decide which lime green nail polish I should wear so I can base the rest of my makeup off it, isn't it?

[rimrunner.livejournal.com]

Is this going to be every week? I miss dancing and I'm sure I still own something appropriate to wear.

[rimrunner.livejournal.com]

Also, I join the general chorus of "wow, that is a really good picture of you".

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I owe it all to my photo coaches jola and queeniex. :)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yes, every week! tolkiencub and I will be there tomorrow night.

We go this week, jes?

[tolkiencub.livejournal.com]

No? Oui?

(better be Oui and "we", missy!)

All should come along! Tart up and come dance! Can be a little oontzy, can be awfully swirly, if there's a drawback it's "too little seating", but I'll stand - I'm more impressive that way.

Re: We go this week, jes?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yes, we go this week! (I was going to double-check with you at lunch tomorrow ...)

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

Is that corset laced SHUT?

good lord. I have seen you in it several times, but you have never been THIS SMALL.

Did you lose more weight?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I think it's just the angle of the photo, because I've actually put on a couple of pounds thanks to sitting around doing nothing while I was sick, and needing to get back in the habit of going for walks.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

well, now you know it is a TERRIBLY flattering angle and makes you look TINY AND WEE. :)

so is this a regular night now? If it is, GF and I may need to come out for it soon.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Regular night! Every Saturday night!
