maiaarts' hubby. Thrift Store Powers That Be, I beseech you to help me find good stuff!
maiaarts and I have a long-standing partnership for hitting yard sales, so we were compelled, COMPELLED I tell you, to Go Forth and bargain-hunt.icprncs, much to my delight. And because it was there, I went into Buffalo Exchange, where I found a lovely pair of knee-high, lace-up Victorian-style boots by some brand named Seychelles. I think the reason they were at BE was that two of the decorative silver buttons at the tops of the boots were missing. But the pronged attachments for the buttons were still there. 10 minutes with a pair of pliers and my button box, and now the boots have new decorative silver buttons. And pink & black striped ribbon laces.
kambriel said she would want to lounge around on it while wearing a deep red velvet dress. I said I wanted to lounge around on it wearing a black velvet military-styled jacket and bustle skirt, with pink details. 
The Morrissey show last night was a wonderful experience. He did not perform "Last Of The Famous International Playboys", alas, but it was still a great show. His voice is still as strong as ever, and cass404 made flailyhands of excitement at each other through the entire thing.
One of the things that astonished me was that people climbed up on stage and ran at Saint Moz. I just wasn't expecting that to happen. Stage security did their best to intercept the fans and usher them off-stage, but at one point I think there were three different audience members dodging security. (cass404 and I looked hard to see if any of those fans were in a black suit, but no. morthael showed some sense and restraint.)

Sparkly vampire movie. Oof. Hey look, Cleolinda has put up the New Moon In 15 Minutes! You should go read that. What *I* will say about the werewolves and sparkly vampire movie is that I found it hilariously awful, wow the CGI was bad, the quote of the night was "It's a metaphor!", and I am devoutly glad that I took a flask of absinthe into the movie theater with me. (I do not usually condone smuggling alcohol into public events, but there was NO WAY I was getting through that movie completely sober.)
However, thanks to suffering through one travesty of something supposedly to do with vampires, I have decided that I have healed enough to tackle writing the long-threatened review of Dracula The Undead tonight. This is your warning.

I think my taste in footwear is regressing a bit. I can't really think of another reason why I'm suddenly browsing eBay for Dr. Marten's boots. Okay, part of the reason is that cass404 has these gorgeous corset Docs (clicky-link!), and I find myself quite enamored of them. What a pity that I'm pretty sure that a US size 6 in Docs won't fit me, otherwise I would have nabbed the pair I just linked to. But no, my shoe size is 7.5 - 8 -ish nowadays, and I fear those boots in a size a 6 would lead to pain and suffering. But they're very pretty.

Yes, I'm wearing black lipstick in this photo, which means that yes, I wore black lipstick to work. I'm quite pleased with it.

The long-coveted Fluevog Babycakes, on my feet WHERE THEY BELONG.
(The deliberately mis-matched stockings make the Stroppy One make the squinchy face, but I like the way they look.)
My Fluevogs! Mine mine mine! Wheeee!

staxxy gave me a few years ago) with the new squishy pads for the balls of my feet. Because I love those boots, and if I can figure out a way to wear them for extended periods without my feet hurting, that would be fantastic*. maiaarts that I am coveting a pair of Dr. Martins for the first time in a couple of decades. But, really, how could I resist the notion of 14-eye docs with leg and foot bones on them? (clicky-link!) Seriously, look at them! They would be absolutely charming with pink ribbons for laces, worn with fluffy skirts and little fitted jackets. I really REALLY want them. Like, put them on my wish list, am poking at my budget want them.mirandaluna's book In The Blood. But the short version of the review is: it made me overwhelmingly nostalgic for the 90s-era Goth scene. Especially for the 90s-era Goth scene that didn't quite exist, but that we all assumed must exist in other cities that were cooler than the ones we lived in.
