Goth at the Office, courtesy of an awesome co-worker

So yes indeed, when I got home yesterday, there was a box containing the Sherlock Holmes blu-ray, the big Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland art book, and [livejournal.com profile] gailcarriger's new book Changeless. Yay! I had congratulated [livejournal.com profile] gailcarriger on Book Day in her LJ yesterday; she replied asking if there would be a photo of me holding her book, because she'd like to see that. How could I deny such a request?

Those of you who look at Tumblr feed (clicky-link!) may notice a slight similarity to my outfit today and an certain Etsy listing (clicky-link!) I posted yesterday. I still covet *that jabot, scarf, and cuff set, too.

EDITED TO ADD: Whoops! I almost forgot! I updated the Gothic Charm School Events! page (clicky-link!) with my Norwescon schedule, plus info about the celedon CD release party and the reading at the Night Kitchen!

It's only a matter of time before you're cast as Alexia Tarabotti in the movie.

Ahahahahaha! I am WAY too short (and possibly pale) to play Alexia Tarabotti. The idea is very enticing, tho'.

At the very least, you could be a cover model if there are more books. I heard it was only a trilogy, but no one stops at three anymore.

Oh, I am seeing her at Borderlands next Saturday! I will suggest it to her. Heh.

Because I'd be such a better cover model than [livejournal.com profile] donnaricci? Ha! It is to laugh. Donna is AWESOME.

But please do say hi to Gail for me!

Dude you could rock it hardcore.

I must say though, glad we finally got a pic together!

when are they shooting more photos for more covers?

I think its funny as hell to walk in to the book store and go "HAY ITS DONNA!" Then every one in the shop looks at me like I am insane.

you look absolutely adorable today!

I particularly love the feathers in today's hat.

Congrats to Gail on her new book - my copy is residing on my Kindle so it's not so exciting to display.

I do have an overwhelming desire to write a flash fiction this week that features a goth developer wearing seafoam & black.

But you might hurt me.....

SEAFOAM? You've lost your mind. The documentation has eaten your brain. Flee while you can.

She can't help it, she's a bit stuck in the 80's. Too bad it's not the 1880's, eh?

Could be worse - could be GLITTER!

Besides, I wouldn't want to steal your pink & black :)

Arrrgh - damned plot bunnies.

Holy cats, that's a gorgeous picture! Do let me know how you like the book.

You must have a vast collection of absolutely amazing petticoats, because your skirts are always the perfect shape. I'm in awe.

The secret to good skirt shape is square dance petticoats! Really, that's what all of my petticoats are.

I adore that jacket more than life itsself. Where did you get it???

I just keep hearing this song in my head

[identity profile] jaborwhalky.livejournal.com 2010-04-01 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
The song is
Its a small world after all..

every one I know, knows ever one else I know its insane.

Not that I don't absolutely love what you wear every day, but I just spaz-twitched. I think I need to get a jacket just like that one. You look fantastic. =)

I love this outfit!
