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.
Someday, some fine day, I will live that life. I will, dammit.
I kept imaging you sweeping in with very elegant and cluesticking them with an elegant silver tipped walking stick for being such idiots.

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 think what I want, secretly, is the life -- or part of it -- that comes with a Victorian day dress. Like, afternoon calls.
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.
Maybe I just want to be Not!Me.
But You!You is a lovely, breathtaking, and incredibly generous woman. I'd bemoan the loss of the current version of juliana.

Bwah!

Maria and ChiKat are me. When deciding which of the three or so basic styles available to me for my garb, HouseMum won me to the one I chose with the word "slimming." And on looking at a mockup in the mirror, it even implies curves!
