And it could be awkward trying to figure out who was in legitimate mourning and who was just a goth.
Well, I honestly did wear a black armband for a while. Or a large pin on my lapel with torn black ribbon, or a lapel pin vase holding one of the blossoms from the many floral arrangements people sent.
Not to mention that I feel there's a pretty obvious difference from someone in gothy black and someone in mourning.
The problem is the poser Goths, the ones who would think that it was party of the subculture.

Wearing memento mori is part of the subculture.
And who is still mourning Whitney.
Wait?! Did they cancel her show? Dude! It's funny, she's cute. Don't cancel Whitney!!
From a no-longer-dressing-the-part-goth: mourning clothes are different. Gothy clothes are ornate, fancy, often distressed. A non goth wearing their only black dress for a week, or rotating through a handful of black tops is very noticeably different than a theatre person or goth who normally dresses in all black, especially if you have any familiarity with that person at all.

A touch too soon, methinks.
Today could be an improvement on yesterday, oh yes.

Another rainy, thundery day. Blechh.
I think I'm officially overwhelmed, verging on depressed. I've gone back to bed with the Frankster. Need to make new business cards and a million other things, but I've got cramps and it's nasty rainy here.
