Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[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.
Expensive (even making my own with Vogue vintage fashions), and quit being possible to wear to work when I started having to clamber around the computer lab daily.
See, this is my problem. I wear jeans and sweaters mostly now, because a) I'm at home and must be comfortable, and b) I'm chasing around a devilish toddler. I think what I want, secretly, is the life -- or part of it -- that comes with a Victorian day dress. Like, afternoon calls. And being driven somewhere in a carriage. And having a big late afternoon tea. And, you know, a maid.
Those dresses are goregous!
Jilli I thought of you the other day, I was flipping through the channels during a commerical break for hockey (or maybe I was flipping becuase I'd gotten motion sick over the camera work) and ran into E!'s Fashion Don'ts. They were doing Goth when I watched. All about how horrible it all is and stupid and it's only fit for whiny pretentious teenagers, etc. The pictures they showed weren't the best dressed Goths I've ever seen and look like they were all taken in the 80s.
I kept imaging you sweeping in with very elegant and cluesticking them with an elegant silver tipped walking stick for being such idiots.

Someday, some fine day, I will live that life. I will, dammit.

See, this is the problem with the media's perception of goth. They don't get that the current version of it has been around for almost 30 years and that it has grown and changed. They just focus on the really bad, silly-looking bits of it.

I want the life that came with A Constant Wife. Not the adultery bit, but the amazingly lovely and well-put together suits and dresses and hats and amazing colors and Art Deco creeping into the Old World....
Maybe I just want to be Not!Me.
I'd love to pull off Dior New Look, but I don't have enough curves. My measurements are all within a few inches of each other.
Maria is me. I'm just a column lookin' for curves.
Today I'm wearing khaki pants that the last time I tried on I couldn't wear because they were SKIN tight! They fit now! And the lavendar blouse I'm wearing was snug around the tummy but now it fits loose.
Ihaven't had a significant weight loss, but the last few times I've been on the scales at Publix I've lost a pound or so from the time before. The only things I've changed are 1) not eating out and 2) eating vegetarian at home.
Much VCC~ma to you, Jilli.
Yay on newly fitting pants, askye!
Someday, some fine day, I will live that life. I will, dammit.
When you do, expect me to invite myself over.

I could easily do a life from The Wings of the Dove. Without, you know, fleecing a dying heiress.

Wheee!

Totally. Well, I have boobs, so that much is okay, but my waist and hips are pretty much a straight (okay, kind of a bumpy) line.
