The current frilly pastel thing, though, needs to DIE DIE DIE.
You would think this trend would mean that I would be able to find a frilly, high-collared, faux-Victorian blouse in pale pink lace. But nooooo, they don't exist. Most vexing.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Plus, he says it's up to me, which probably genuinely does mean that he doesn't care,
Not that I have an SO but I'd hate to think somebody was coming to see my band when they didn't really want to be there. I'd worry about them having a bad time and that would negate the moral support I'd get from having them there.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Newsflash! Goths Hate Spring Fashion Lines!
Shocking, innit? Although as Jesse notes, the popularity of citrus last year was not as tooth-grindingly annoying as whatever there is in stores this year.
edit: or What Plei Said.
I flipped through this month's In Style and realized that there is nothing in their Current Trends section that I would wear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not a goth, but damn if I didn't hate the citrus too. What are called tropical colours here are not colours I'm actually used to from the tropics.

Most people will not look good in the corals, teals, and lime greens that are this year's must-haves.
It's like they put shots of ugly juice in the fabric dyes!

If I only had a brain...
What colors do people wear in the tropics, by choice? Is there a winter season and a summer season?

I'd say if you don't feel up to going tonight, you're fine staying home, Lyra.

What are these winter and summer words that you use?
I'd say in general, business wear is more muted (I dressed for my one Jamaican business meeting in bright red, and my father winced), but casual wear is jarringly bright to the First World eye. But the colours are deep and almost royal -- our yellows are gold, our greens forest. And then it devolves into cacophony.

Thrive to spite them
Lane Bryant got hit by the Easter Basket explosion as well.
The last time I was in there (which was the first week of Feb) everything was the most hideous shade of green. Pants and Jackets and...ugh. And these horrid floral patio furniture prints.

Teal is back? Oh, cool! I actually look good in teal. Or is it a bad teal?
