I can't imagine the attention to detail required to sustain such images. I'd imagine it becomes much easier with time, and the need/urge to do it takes care of a lot of the energy, but still. I'm so laissez faire. My image is taken care of by the restrictions/predilictions I have when clothes shopping. That's about it. Anything more coded only comes out when I do evening-fu.
Gimme some milk.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh my, I really dig the paintings. They remind me of something that I would probably be able to articulate if I'd ever had an art history class.
And her eye makeup on the page you linked to, Zen. Stunning is right.

Jilli, I was trying to explain you again yesterday. I have a standin cousin who is attracted by the idea of perkygoth (she can't unperk, ever, it seems) but has no real idea what it is. She seemed a little concerned about Clovis, but I think she's past it now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Zenkitty, she is beautiful! I love her eye make-up.
I went out shopping with Mom today. It was nearly 40 F today, which felt so nice and warm! I resisted the urge to buy all new Spring clothes. I did get a sheer black blouse on clearance at Ann Taylor Loft. The weekend funk is starting to lift and being replaced with craps of doom.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Today's pre-lunch entertainment?
Something arrived via IO from Jilli, and my coworkers were looking at her (pink and black) writing, and going, "Aww! She really is the perkygoth!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She seemed a little concerned about Clovis, but I think she's past it now.
Everybody should be concerned about Clovis.
My quick Jilli precis: Mary Poppins' cheerfully mordant sister.
Or, maybe: Imagine an Edwardian widow with a twisted sense of humor who really enjoyed the mourning period.
Or possibly: A Gorey cartoon come to life.

I used Jilli's notepaper as an example, Plei. It really helped.
My perkygoth explanation was something like: Bats and glitter! Trim your black with pink.
My Jilli explanation: She is a luminary of it all, and her stuffed rabbit wants to take over the world.
