Stuff, things, and creepy-cute things

[cupcake_goth]

A shopping question: Have any of you seen white or ivory crocheted or lace tights for sale anywhere? Sock Dreams doesn't have what I'm looking for. I haven't had a chance to check out Target yet.

The weather has finally changed from OH MY GOD IT'S FREEZING to merely chilly and damp, and I am so, so thankful about it. My sinuses no longer hurt.

The weekend was very fun. Two different holiday parties in one night, and then going to the Mourning Market with geekmachine and chronivore, who were deligtful company as always. This edition of the Mourning Market was even better than the last one, and not just because people could hear each other this time. (A note to any alternative market organizers: It's a great idea to have bands perform at the event, but in reality, it means everyone has to shout to hold a conversation, which is not an ideal browsing and shopping experience.)

The next Mourning Market is slated for around Valentine's Day, and there's a slight chance of a Gothic Charm School reading happening at it. We'll see, and I'll let you all know as soon as I have more info.

Look at my ridiculously creepy-cute new handbag! Yes, from a vendor at Mourning Market; I added the pink bow and the cameo ring.

Shallow Fashion Details photo! Around my neck I'm wearing a glow-in-the-dark resin crow skull (on pink and black ribbons) that I purchased from mrsoles, because I AM that silly. I am also wearing the lovely charm bracelet that girlghoul made for me.

that looks much better with the cameo than the silly thing they had on it.

I gave the ring that was on it to sirriamnis. She was delighted with it.

Loooove that bag! It's lovely!
I wish we had something like this Mourning Market!
We have had very similar weather here, complete with the recent calming down of the cold. I am very thankful.

Are there no punk/goth/general altera-culture craft fairs in your area? Booo!

[theosakakoneko.livejournal.com]

Apparently there was one last month but I didn't realize T___T
I want to find more! (And know ahead of time so I can be all participatory-like.)

One of my main reasons for wanting to move to Seattle is that the only alternative cultures in my area are wannabe hippies and...that's about it.

I heard some women talking about you when I was leaving! [all good things of course.]

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Awww! (What did they say, what did they say?)

It was very nice to run into you there.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I am so ridiculously pleased with that handbag. It's just so over-the-top fun!

Squee!Your bag is adorable!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure someplace like Target would have something similar to what you're looking for. I have a few very old pairs of lace-type knee socks that I'm sure came from a similar store. Not so much crochet as raised jacquard-ish pattern accentuated when it stretches over the leg.

I love the crow skull.

I need to see about getting in as a vendor at the next one...

That was all I could find. Hue has a couple of textured styles but not in white/ivory, and I think the general winter trend this year is for bright solids. Maybe things will change for spring.

Ah, Mourning Market... Something else to look forward to once I'm a Seattle-ite.

I really like the skelly bag, especially the accents you added. :)

The cameo ring really is such a nice touch. There are a couple alternamarkets here but I never make it to them and I'm pretty sure they're fairly ungoth.

BUT!!!

I get to order my top hat now!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

TOP HAT! Yaaaay! I demand pictures once you have it.

[kibarika.livejournal.com]

Oh absolutely. And now I'll have to re-build my Death costume.

Jilli, I love the little heart patches on your skirt here! :o)

[strawberry-goth.livejournal.com]

That's such a cute bag & the pink bow makes it more you.
Yay SFD photo! ^_^ Cute. The crow skull glows in the dark?!

Hmm..do you have sparkly things as well?

Look what I did today.

Lovely everything! That bag is really nice. I have a question -- what kind of petticoat do you wear! It's so poofy and awesome!

[qball-evans.livejournal.com]

That bag is brilliant!

[miriamele.livejournal.com]

I think it's really awesome that this is your usual dress and that you have no problems getting a job while dressed this way. You don't get crap from co-workers and stuff?

I suppose confidence has a lot to do with it! : )

Like a friend of mine who wears the most zaney, weird things in combination and no one ever says anything because to her it's the most natural thing in the world. : )

I need some of that confidence! :p

Yay! Aine pandorasbox is going to be running my table at the next mourning market in february. :) I'm so happy it fit! I figured you had a smaller wrist than most so I'm glad I guessed right. *beams* I'm just so happy you liked it.

why, yes actually, I have!!!

The TJ Maxx out here in chicago land carries them in a variety of styles. don't know if you have one of those out where you are... but the brand that i've fallen i love with is called "dolci calze". pretty pretty things! that's where i found my bright silver over the knee stockings!

hope this helps!!!
