cupcake_goth Aug. 12th, 2009 11:44 am)Shameless self-promotion:
My post about the Innocente Seraphim convention is up at the Lip Service Webzine! (You should know the drill by now, but that's a clicky-link.)
You peeps know about the tie-in Gothic Charm School merch that's available, right? The Rocklove Gothic Charm School Batty Heart Pendant and Starborn Alchemy's Gothic Charm School Body Butter (which smells like chocolate cupcakes!). I'm extremely happy to be working with such talented people. Follow those clicky-links, look at the pretty things! Better yet, buy the pretty things!
And to wrap up the shameless self-promotion part: hey, you should go buy the book! Available at book stores everywhere, and online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Oh, a quick review of the MAC event last night: Insanely crowded, and the colors, while interesting, didn't excite me enough to make a purchase. After fleeing the crowds, Minim and I wandered over to Sephora, so she could look at nail polish. And so I could be recognized as the Lady of the Manners by one of the staff, hee! I was very flattered, and had a nice chat about Gothic Lolita and J-Rock with her and another of her co-workers. Also, curse you, Kat Von D! I don't want to purchase any of your makeup, but I think you may have made my perfect lipstick. (I got a sample to try. A color called "Homegirl"? Oh dear.)

Clicky-links of coveting! (Which are strictly of a window-shopping nature for me for a while, because I went into debt yesterday to purchase my long-coveted Fluevog Babycake boots. SO worth it, tho'.)
The Gothic Corseted Military Jacket from Retroscope Fashions. I have a handful of garments from Retroscope (including a gorgeous custom jacket), and I've been delighted with all of them. Plus, I have a ... weakness, shall we say, for military-style jackets with lots of buttons.
The Antoinette Mini Tricorn from Hey Sailor. B&W stripes! Pink edging! A miniature pirate ship perched on the crown! Oh lord, I have been slavering over this hat since last year. Yes, I know it's over the top. That's the point.
Dr. Marten's "Skelly" boot. Yes, I just bought boots. But again, I've been pining after these for a while. Boots with glow-in-the-dark bones! How cute would these look laced up with pink ribbons, worn with knee-length fluffy skirts and severe jackets? Very cute.
Gothic Victorian Sterling Ermine Skull Black Feather Fascinator Brooch from Loved To Death. I constantly go back to Loved To Death's Etsy shop and whimper quietly and paw at the laptop screen. Why yes, I would wear that on the lapel of all sorts of jackets. Pink and black striped ones, actually, for maximum sartorial impact.

She fell in love with it, tried it on, and she decided it was a worthy investment of her birthday clothes money.
Beautiful and unexpected find.
She did say she was going to resew the buttons to make certain they all went the same way.

Also, many thanks for the clicky links. This will prove to be a busy afternoon of coveting!

Are you getting anything out of this year's BPAL Halloween stuff? Or the Vampire line? I might get Samhain and...something else that I have already forgotten.

I'd be honoured if you could add me as a friend, as I'd like to get to know you better and keep some sort of contact ♥ I hope I don't sound creepy, I don't mean to do so!
I love your idea of the Skelly boots coordination. That sounds charming! I'd love to buy those boots, but surely those are expensive.
And I'm totally buying your book once I have some money! I hope I can buy it through eBay, as Amazon tends to be rather mean and most stores I've visited and wanted to buy from don't ship to my country.
Take care ♥

I just saw a post about it and figured it might be something that you would like. I wish I was close enough to go, I live in South-east Idaho and it's just not going to happen :/

I am capable of making hats myself, but Hey Sailor! is one of the few vendors I have actually bought a hat from recently (besides my Lolita coordinate hats and silly head bits).

Have your heard of the american brand Apatico? (http://apatico.net/). I like the very personal twist and the quality looks quite nice too. I have my eye on the "corbeau" coat especially : black and pink with stripy faux fur collar and cuffs!!
