Randomosity, and clicky-links of coveting

[cupcake_goth]

- Remember that skirt I was complaining about a while ago, about how I was not happy with how it was fitting, and I think it needed different buttons? It now has a higher waistband and two rows of pink buttons down the front. I'm much happier with it.

- Speaking of pink buttons, I'm idly contemplating prying the black buttons off the sides of my black JUMP Bjork boots (clicky-link!) and replacing them with pink buttons. Go on, try to look surprised at that.

- One of the things I need to do this weekend: take photos of the stuff I want to sell, including the purple pair of JUMP Bjork boots, because I've only worn them about three times and am not going to bother with getting them dyed. I am also contemplating selling a pair of my vintage swordfish Fluevog shoes. They are gorgeous, but I never wear them because they've got 3" heels and make my feet hurt.

- The Stroppy One pointed out the most recent editorial on Penny Arcade to me, because it mentions a local Goth-Loli event. I don't *think* they're referring to SakuraCon - has anyone heard about this? (Sadly, that's all the info I have.)

- Clicky-links of coveting! The Empire Corsair cincher/waistcoat combo from Damsel In This Dress. (clicky-link!) Ooooh, pretty. I would love to have that in a black-on-black striped fabric.

Speaking of black-on-black stripes, the Jezebel top hat (clicky-link!) is calling to me very, very strongly. I suspect I am going to eventually purchase this, and if I really like their work, commission them to make me a black and pink striped version of this hat. (Again, go on, practice your surprised face. I'll wait.)

Okay, back to reviewing documentation on MSDN. Wheee, the excitement never stops.

Not surprised but highly supportive. I think it will look fantastic with your wardrobe and make those boots really look amazing.

I concur. Frankly, I am surprised the buttons have not already been replaced with pink ones by now.

Ohhh -- those corsets!

Have you purchased from them before? Are they reputable?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I have not purchased anything from them before, but I know they're spoken of favorably on steamfashion and other places. I love their designs!

[windbourne.livejournal.com]

I have a number of friends who have pieces from them -- they seem uniformly of good quality and extremely flattering, with quite good customer service, to boot.

I'm right there with you on the cincher/waistcoat. Black on black, or any jewel tone for me, plz.

Last year there was a Gothic Lolita fashion show at Sakura Con and it looks like this year its at 2:30 on Sunday in the Panel 2 room. However, they mention Satuday and tea parties so I may have missed something while going through the schedule.

There is a group here in Seattle that dress up. On several Sundays, I have been downtown and seen a group of gothlolis either at the Market or otherwise running around downtown.

I think I picked up a postcard for the Goth-Loli event at Comic Con. It looks like it's also a ball-jointed-doll con, so there are many reasons for me to be there.

Memory tells me it's in somewhere like Bellevue later this year--August? Obviously memory needs a little backup, so let me locate the postcard and report back later.

Today, in honor of you and my plum trees, I am wearing:

A black fitted hoodie
A two-toned pink polkadotted tank top
Black lounge pants with hot pink trim and waist drawstrings
Cupcake pink wool socks
Black wool slippers

Oh nooooo. Hat. HAT. HAT!!! Oh, please get that hat.

I'm debating whether I can afford to go. Not so much because of the money, but because I've been placating my urges for BJDs with lesser things like Momoko dolls. Not sure I want to unleash the beast.

I still adore my Swordfish :) What size are you, not a 7 perchance?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Ha, no. The Swordfish shoes I have are size 8.5 - 9 -ish. Which is too bad, because I would be all for arranging some sort of trade with you! :)

[windbourne.livejournal.com]

....wow, the purple JUMP boots are certainly a lovely color. *_* Wow.

[fiorituranotte.livejournal.com]

What size are the purple boots? I bought the black ones, and they are one of the few boots that fit over my leg braces and are flat enough that I can walk in them.

Oops. I see others have already posted the URL to the loligoth event. It does look fun. I went walking by in my top hat and Inverness cloak at Sakuracon and they grabbed me and talked about it. They sound like they would be more than tickled to have a bunch of elegantly dressed goths show up. Besides the usual fashion shows and con events, there are tea parties, and bowling in a nearby posh bowling alley (chandeliers, velvet curtains, gourmet food and full bar).
