When real things happen to imaginary people

I miss the Newport News catalog.

Specifically, I miss the autumn 2006-2007 catalog. That was the one with AAAAAALLLLL the romantigoth/neo-Victorian things. Short mandarin-collared velvet jackets! The infamous velvet military coat that I swear every single one of us gothy ladies owned! Lace blouses with ascots! Cotton gauze blouses with high collars and ruffles! Everything in black, ivory, and burgundy!

Yes, I know, Newport News is now under the Spiegel umbrella. But they haven't made anything in years like they did in those seasons, and I still haven't found good replacements for some of the items that have finally (finally!) frayed and fallen apart.

EDITED TO ADD: Seriously, if any of you have this blouse in a size 14 in ivory or black, and you want to get rid of it, TELL ME. It is one of my Perfect Blouses.

The subject line is partially because I am wearing my old "a.g.f. = g.a.f.!" shirt right this very instant. (Today was a day of hair bleach and pink dye, and writing.) But the other reason for the subject line is because of a request I have for all my fellow ElderGoths!

I'm looking for old goth fashion catalogs. Yes, paper ones. The ones we all had to send SASEs off for. I'm slowly building a goth nostalgia archive, and I would dearly love to have more catalogs. If any of you have gothy nostalgia ephemera in need of a good home, please let me know!
