When real things happen to imaginary people

Hey look, there are a few more people posting to LJ again! Hurrah!

- Firstly, hey look! A new post at Gothic Charm School! All about dealing with school dress codes.

- Things in JilliLand are ... hectic. But the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train, so that's good. Yes, I know, cryptic. There's Stuff Going On that is not ready to be talked about. But my stress levels are dropping, so yay.

- In addition to my craving All The Stretch Velvet Dresses (crushed and non-crushed velvet), I apparently am craving lace poet shirts and long silk crinkle skirts. But I spent part of yesterday finding the floor in the bedroom and going through all the closets, so I now HAVE some more stretch velvet dresses! And lace poet shirts! And a brilliant blood red silk crinkle skirt! Nostalgia for 90s/early 2000s goth, or returning to classics? I don't know, but I also don't really care one way or the other.

- Speaking of is it nostalgia or is it returning to a classic - thanks to some assorted things I'd recently read online, today I dug out my bottle of Angel by Thierry Mugler and dabbed a TINY bit on to see how it wears on me nowadays. Back in the past, Angel was the only perfume I wore, because it worked really well with my body chemistry. If I do switch back to wearing it, I promise to apply it very sparingly.

- Speaking of 90s/early 2000s goth, someone on Tumblr posted images from the old Gother Than Thou card game Oh, the nostalgia! I, of course, dug out my copy and giggled over all the cards again. And then I dug out my copy of Gothic: Dark Glamour, and am re-reading it. YEsss, all the elaborate goth fashion and imagery, bring it to me.
