Because MUSEUMS ARE FUN, darn it!

[mmymoon]

I've been trying to fall asleep for hours -- I'm exhausted from the Lolita Day meetup on Saturday -- but my stomach hurts so hey! Pictures from said day!



Tori is such an awesome photographer. That's my favorite picture of me with my current incarnation of hair. (I could not be bothered to stand up for pictures once I sat down. Fibro loli sits down a lot!)

That's from the art gallery. OH MAN PAUL GAUGUIN, I TRY BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND




From the Natural History Museum. I'm so goth...

Oh, sorry babe, I've known a lot of Victorias who shortened it to Tori. I'm good in not calling you Victoria each time, right? XD

Ahahaha, I'm not surprised. I'm also not a member; can you screencap it for, as they say, the lols?

This pic was posted, with this caption: "No peeking out from behind the fan does not make you look coy or demure. Nor does it do anything to hide your cheap Tj Max skirt.

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like she wants to eat me? SRSLY she looks like Uncle Lecter"

(I don't know who Uncle Lecter is, but I thought that was funny since you captioned one of your own photos with I EAT BABIES lol)

Comments:
Me: In the first pic she made the skirt.
teacup_carousel: Shudder. =____=

So she had an active hand in bringing the ugly into the world.

Me: Also Mmy's style is primarily just plain goth, with lolita influences/elements. Her outfits aren't meant to be traditional lolita.
teacup_carousel: As a goth its still incredibly painful - a bad outfit is a bad outfit is a bad outfit. Whatever her primary "intentions" are that doesn't explain why she looks like she rolled around in a thrift store dumpster before grabbin a few brand items and then went to a meet.

Everyone else's comment about you was about how much they like your purse!

She also posted this photo.

Ahahaha, I didn't even realize people would think the fan was a prop! They've never been to D.C. in the summer, I guess...

Mmm, I'm pretty sure she means either Hannibal Lecter or Uncle Fester (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Fester). I wager she meant Uncle Fester, though, since I do rather resemble him...! (Particularly the Christopher Lloyd version from the movies! It's the deeply set eyes, I think.)

Of course, the problem is that telling a goth girl she looks like a member of the Addams Family is just about the best compliment one can dole out! This has completely made my night. XD

I'd mention something about shopping for black broomstick skirts at TJ Maxx being a HARDCORE goth sport, but I fear it'd be rather pointless... I'm pretty sure these sorts of lolitas will never actually understand that goths tend to care a great deal more about community than name brands. (Or, from that one NY Times article a while back, goth is all about somewhat tattered elegance -- it's all black, so it's nice, so long as one squints a bit. So true!)

I will say, I have no idea my skirt was hanging so oddly most of the day. I think I'm going to play with the lining a bit and sew down the lace more. AND THEN EAT BABIES.

"The problem is that telling a goth girl she looks like a member of the Addams Family is just about the best compliment one can dole out!"

So very true! XD (Though I'd rather be a member of the Munster clan.)

You look bootiful in all of the pictures, my dear. Especially the first one. <3
And I think we have the same fan! :D

SEE?! We're practically twins!

Oh man, now I... kind of want to shave my head... again....

"Fibro loli sits down a lot" -- ain't that the truth!

You look darling, though!

-- A :)

Man, I think I may look more adorable sitting down! Since, you know, most of the female population is shorter than I am, so if I'm sitting down, the photos are from a higher angle. XD

FOUR LAYERS OF BLACK CLOTHES BABY

I kept thinking of the Goths in Hot Weather blog -- but honestly, since I only wear natural fibers (pretty much all cotton; my as-underwear corset is a thin leather) I was really not all that hot. I could do the parasol thing, but... eh... all I need are my sunglasses!

[azraelita.livejournal.com]

Aww I love your hairz <3

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

Thank you...! This might be the perfect balance of sloth (natural color) and pink, finally!

Although I think it's about time for a re-dye. I need MORE PINK.

I MISS YOU

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

I MISS YOU, TOO

Hey, check it out! After I left, the lolitas walked by your old house (http://www.flickr.com/photos/saturniakitty/3605546523/)!

We always discuss, at least once, that it's really sad you never went to a meetup... of course, with psychos ala the above discussion, I do understand it, but... the nova/D.C. girls (and David) are so nice, you would have fun!

I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE AARDVARK IN YOUR HONOR, BUT I HAVE NOT UPLOADED IT YET.

[hooveraardvark.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA i forgot about Anonymous.

i'll come someday! i just have to plan it.

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It has magical poofy powers! XD
