There's going to be an exclusive Penny Dreadful fashion line at Hot Topic. The presale starts tomorrow.
On the one hand, this makes me do a tiny side-eye. Hot Topic? Really?
On the other hand, all of the scorpion-patterned lace is pretty, and the "London 1891 Map" dress (with "we all have our demons" on the bodice) is enticing. Watch, it won't come in anything above a size 12, which means I'd end up buying it to convert it into a skirt.

I'm going to end up bribing a vidder to make a Vanessa/Evelyn vid set to Tori Amos' cover of "Raining Blood", aren't I?

Found while out thrift shopping with the StuntHusband. IT WAS ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS!
Also, I just got the click-n-ship notice from Amazon that the Art and Making of Penny Dreadful book has shipped!
Last Friday was the publish date for the big deadline at my new tech industry job. I worked a bunch of long days/nights, but it was worth it: our content is useful, and my co-workers now hail me as a miracle worker, which is always nice. Now that we're past the deadline, I'm working on WRITING DOWN the various steps and processes I learned in my trial by fire. Internal documentation, so useful!
Saturday was the Time Travelers Rummage Sale. I did not have time to cull/sort/price clothes or accessories (even tho' I need to, very badly), but the Elder Goth Surprise Bags and Bags! Of! Mystery were popular, and a few people even purchased copies of the Gothic Charm School book!
I spent a chunk of my profit at the sale before it even opened to the public. When a pair of Fluevog boots I've been coveting for YEARS turns up at a rummage sale, I buy them. PERFECT FLUEVOG VAMPIRE BOOTS:
Why yes, those are the Countess Olivia boots. They were notorious for running about a size to a size-and-a-half small, which means a 9.5 fits me perfectly. They were one of the items being sold as part of an estate sale; someone from the local Steampunk community recently passed away, and the folks running that table said they were glad the boots were going to a good home.
---
Yeah, work and shoes. That's pretty much all I've got, right now. Wait, no! One other thing: we just started watching Penny Dreadful, and OMG THIS SHOW. I think I love it more than Hannibal, and that's saying a lot. We've only seen two episodes so far, but it is every ridiculous gothic horror faux-Victorian thing I've ever wanted. With the exception of the spiders, but I've learned not to watch the opening credits, and other people have warned me which episodes to be wary of.
YES, THAT IS A TEACUP OVERFLOWING WITH BLOOD. I wasn't kidding about the ridiculous gothic horror part. Also, I want all the clothes. ALL OF THEM.
