Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I do, baby, I do. I just can't be tied down, y'know. I'm a cowgirl, on a steel horse I ride....

I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil
Ditto. They are for the long of leg. Not someone with a 25" inseam.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tapered capris make me look like a pear, but I do like the wide-legged styles for an office-friendly alternative to skirts in the summer. (So-called "work shorts" are NEVER an option. /judgypants )

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
I know of one occasion so far of someone only of slight goth leanings showing the book to a complete non-goth who decided she wanted a copy.
I hope that becomes a trend, not just for sales (though that'd be nice) but because so much of the book is about getting the masses to better understand Goth.

I loves me my twinsets, oh yes I do
I will be going to my local independent bookstore this weekend. If they do not have Jilli's book, I will order it and pimp it mightily. The owner does frequently order on customer recommendation, so... (crosses fingers).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was totally anti-capri until I found a straight-legged pair. Which may make them not capri pants, IDK.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Thanks, juliana!!
I love capris a lot. I wear them pretty much all summer.
So-called "work shorts" are NEVER an option
I have worn bermudas to work but that's because our school is not air conditioned and my room would get over 90 degrees.

Because books.
I like capris in the summer.
And I love most gothy things very much, but I can't see ever pulling off the look. I'm also very lazy, though -- at home, I almost never wear makeup and I'm usually in one of two pairs of jeans and a comfortable shirt.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I don't think I really have a "look". Generic geeky at cons, just generic at work. My earring collection is the only bit of funkiness I do.
I don't wear capris, as I know they'll make me look stumpier than I am.
