Candy striped corset! (clicky-link!) I'm picturing it worn with a frilly, high-collared blouse in black, and a very ruffly skirt. And possibly this necklace:



Zombie girl and doll necklace!(clicky-link!) No, I'm not joking. Yes, I like that, and would wear it a lot.

And now, the Goth at the Office photo! Thanks, Maura!



Hmmm. In retrospect, I do not like this lipstick today. Good thing I have two other, slightly different colors in my purse, huh?
- Remember that skirt I was complaining about a while ago, about how I was not happy with how it was fitting, and I think it needed different buttons? It now has a higher waistband and two rows of pink buttons down the front. I'm much happier with it.

- Speaking of pink buttons, I'm idly contemplating prying the black buttons off the sides of my black JUMP Bjork boots (clicky-link!) and replacing them with pink buttons. Go on, try to look surprised at that.

- One of the things I need to do this weekend: take photos of the stuff I want to sell, including the purple pair of JUMP Bjork boots, because I've only worn them about three times and am not going to bother with getting them dyed. I am also contemplating selling a pair of my vintage swordfish Fluevog shoes. They are gorgeous, but I never wear them because they've got 3" heels and make my feet hurt.

- The Stroppy One pointed out the most recent editorial on Penny Arcade to me, because it mentions a local Goth-Loli event. I don't *think* they're referring to SakuraCon - has anyone heard about this? (Sadly, that's all the info I have.)

- Clicky-links of coveting! The Empire Corsair cincher/waistcoat combo from Damsel In This Dress. (clicky-link!) Ooooh, pretty. I would love to have that in a black-on-black striped fabric.

Speaking of black-on-black stripes, the Jezebel top hat (clicky-link!) is calling to me very, very strongly. I suspect I am going to eventually purchase this, and if I really like their work, commission them to make me a black and pink striped version of this hat. (Again, go on, practice your surprised face. I'll wait.)

Okay, back to reviewing documentation on MSDN. Wheee, the excitement never stops.
As seen on [livejournal.com profile] steamfashion a while ago, button covers for corset busks! (clicky-link, rah rah rah!)

I think that's a brilliant idea. I very much want to make some for my own corset collection. And I just had an idea that is either completely foolish, or amazingly clever, you tell me: instead of soldering pins onto the backs of buttons that you've cut the shank off of, wouldn't the jewelry finding to make clip-back earrings work just as well? The flat bit would slip behind the busk loop, and then the "front" of the button would close over the entire post & loop. You know, the same sort of theory behind fancy button covers for shirts & blouses.

Why yes, I am going to be experimenting with this in the next few days. I'll report back on how well it worked.

Special message to [livejournal.com profile] apostle: sweetie, could you please email me at headmistress (at) gothic-charm-school (dot) com? I have a question for you, and I apparently misplaced your email addy.
So does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to dye a satin corset? I'm idly pondering dying my white satin (with black satin boning casing corset, custom made by Meschantes, and I'm not ever selling this particular corset) pink. Is this a completely impossible and silly dream? I obviously can't simmer the steel-boned corset in a stockpot full of dye.
