So, I'm on the front page of CNN Living ...

Kat Kinsman and Sarah LeTrent interviewed me about workplace dress codes. (The article was prompted by Bobak Ferdowsi's Mohawk.) Not only do they quote me pretty extensively, they used Goth at the Office photos to open the article!

My life is never, ever boring. Strange, but not boring.

You.



you are famous. nationally known and recognizable. Voice of a subculture.

So cool to see you on the top of that article.

Some of the comments make me feel sad that there are still people who haven't learned to judge by character rather than appearance, but I put in a good word for you to one of the ones that called you out personally.

Never read the comments on mainstream sites. People are intensely judgemental.

That is a great tryptic of photos! I so enjoy little happy stories about individuality.

Go, Jilli! It's a great article, and you look gorgeous in the pictures.

Hee!! That is fab!!

And, amusingly, given the snarky comment from the jewelry retailer, I happen to be sitting next to a gorgeous, henna'ed, Goth-fabulous professional jeweler of many years' standing, who designs and makes her own work and sells at jewelry shows and galleries as well as working in a shop -- and HELL YEAH she's the only person I trust with my jewelry!!

<3!

Customer service? I dont care what you look like as long as you know your stuff & can look after me...tats? blue hair? who cares?

Jillie Bean - you look fabulous! and I dont see a single dress code violation on you. You ALWAYS look like a lady which is more than I can say for many many people out there today.

Good job on the interview & congratulations!

[ozitonaranjo.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[ditaykan.livejournal.com]

Honestly, that is awesome, and yet to me you will always be Gothic Ms. Manners. <3
