#eldergoth problems

“If I sell those vintage winklepickers that don’t fit, and the other winklepicker lace-up boots, MAYBE I’ll have enough to get those witchy Fluevogs that are calling to me!”

(Tomorrow's planned* outfit: the nightmarepunk skirt (the never-ending project!), black lace blouse, black velvet skirted waistcoat w/ pink buttons, antique Victorian lace jabot, giant black hat. If you see me at ECCC, come say hi!)

Goth Juice was released in ... 2008? Somewhere around there, I think. It smelled like walking through a gloomy forest at twilight, as the stars started to twinkle in the sky. It wasn't a super-plastic-hold hair product that would hold Big Goth Hair up by itself, but it was fantastic for smoothing and keeping pointy bangs in place, or to use when you wanted some styling hold but without a crunchy feel. 

I have a >tiny< bit left that I'm saving for the next time I put my hair in rag curls, because Goth Juice was the best product I ever found for that. 

Or, apparently it is always around 1992 somewhere in my brain? While out at a consignment store with my StuntSherlock, I found a dress that was an exact duplicate for one I owned and loved in 1992-94 -ish. Heavyweight, dense, 4-way stretch crushed velvet in that perfect burgundy/oxblood/pomegranate and deep merlot wine color.

Not tiny, actually, so my worries that it wouldn't hold all my necessary items are a smidge ridiculous. It's something like 6 1/2" tall and 7 1/2" wide. I wish I could add a strap to it, but there isn't a good spot to attach one.

I've never gotten in the habit of regularly switching purses, partially because moving things from one purse to the other is a Huge Production in JilliLand.

I did just test if I could slip the handles over one hand and hang it on my arm, and that does work. I just wouldn't be able to do that very often, as that would be a lot of weight hanging from around my wrist.
