That one's in my album. It's there for anyone who cares to actually click on my avatar, read my profile and find our a little bit more about me. I have to say I'm a little startled to find it pasted up here though 0_o
But yeah, I'm into alternative fashion, specifically gothic lolita, but I can go casual in hoodies, combats jeans an skirts- just something that reflects my personality more. I love color coordinating, making jewellery/accessories or wearing bit and pieces I find. I've been wearing keys, padlocks and pocketwatches for years- then Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Came out and suddenly lolita-esque stuff became more acceptable because magazines said so and people are charging £60 for a padlock-shaped pendant XP
I really don't understand people who follow those things religiously, wearing stuff they admit (I've heard it) they don't even like just because it is 'current'.
Bah, I love lolita, and It's perfect for weddings, church and other formal occassions as well as my conventions and stuff.
Anyways, I'd still like to hear from anyone else into alternative clothing. I think men look wonderful in steampunk or dandy. I had to compliment this older gentleman on the bus the other day stepping out in a double breasted jacket, top hat and cane- he looked so smart and handsome ^^ Smart-looking can be fun aswell :3
I'm 18. I can and do wear more grown up things, as in evening jackets, waistcoats, ruffled blouses, fascinators and smart shoes. Muted colors instead of bright pink. I like classic lolita as well as punk/sweet, which is more like 'dignified victorian lady' than 'wheee cuteness!!'. I like cuteness too though :3 I do the whole pinup thing occasionally, but in the studio, not on the street. I have a friend who's heavily into the pinup/rockabilly style and I make rockabilly accessories but I don't want to just 'adopt' the style on a whim. I love Gil Elvgren paintings but she has done her research, a devout Betty Page fan and projecting her whole feminine empowerment and 'the female body as a work of art' thing. The style is part of her and I really do appreciate it aesthetically. I just feel like I'd be trying to be something that I'm not emulating it.
Thanks so much for the compliments so far ^^
Urca muffin, you are beautiful inside and out (I really like the photos you posted in 'How long do you like hair on women?' They are super cute <3
Someone is out there for you- I just hope you find them soon! You deserve it.
I hope I find someone too, it's draining me just giving, giving,giving all the time to Him. His welcome home party tomorrow bankrupted meeeeee... But can you get what I mean when I say that just running off looking for a man looks like I couldn't Really have loved him? It's not a switch I can turn on and off. I've had many stupid crushes, ALL unreciprocated, but this guy... I am completely in love with him. I'm not biased- I see all his faults, but that doesn't stop every fibre of my being screaming for him when he is gone. I love his scent, his touch, his voice... Everything he does and says is magnified a thousand times to me. He rolled over to my side in his sleep once and that was the first time he held me, snoring away in my chest and that was a time I truly felt like the happiest person in the world. Trust me guys, this isn't shallow teen crush crap- If you knew some of the shit we've been through together.
I care for him like no one else. I guess I just have to wait for him to wake up one day and realize I've dutily provided everything he's ever wanted too.
Oh god, that sounded self-absorbed ^^;
Right OKAY
Back on topic, let's talk clothes people. Seen something unusual and just wondering WTF is that all about? Post some pictures or describe so we can discuss :3
Ooh Urca... April is right. The picture above was taken by a girlfriend. She kind of forced me into it, but I'm glad she did because it was girly fun and made me feel a little better about myself. I of course returned the favor, she loved the photos, self esteem went through the roof and she tells me she's confidently shared them with her boyfriend! Works wonders. Even if no one sees them, buying sexy underwear always makes me feel a bit special x
