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 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.

Not only are capris evil, they're banned at my office. Skirts or long pants. I'm not sure guys have the option of skirts, though I'd like to see someone try the kilt thing.
