Horror usually freaks me out, but I guess I've watched a few graphic thrillers and true crime. Small world with the Anthony thing, though I guess she is a foremother.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
ltc wasn’t allowed to write her first choice for a scary Halloween story for school this past year because her teacher thought it was too scary for the other kids.
I'm kind of a chicken with horror myself, but that's awesome

So the thred up stuff fits. Is it even close to being an authentic period outfit? No. But the wig and guilotine necklace that I got for her will get the point across. And the outfit is more weather appropriate for the unseasonably hot weather we’re having. I’ll post pictures on the FB page when she is wearing the whole costume.

EXCELLENT
I thought you would appreciate that. TCG and I just looked at each other and said, “and so it begins”.

The dress code for the Vampire Lestat concert & afterparty tonight is "rock chic" which I'll just assume was meant to say "glam punk" and which I will do my best to achieve as a person who does not even own eyeliner. (The feeling of anything on my face that isn't an ultralight moisturizer makes my skin crawl and so makeup is a complete no-go and always has been.)

That sounds like fun, Jess! I’m sure you look fabulous.
ltc has to wear her costume again today to present in front of the other classes. She’s unhappy because the wig is itchy.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I am far from being glam or punk, but I still think you can achieve glam punk through your clothes and general demeanor, no makeup required. (And really, can you even be glam if your skin isn't well hydrated?)
