Fan Stuff & Costume Brainstorming
Oct. 13th, 2012 08:08 pmLast year at work, I dressed up as a gothic princess for Halloween. (I never really dressed up much for Halloween before, but I had to take my chance to dress all-out medieval goth in public for once.) I think I'll do the same thing this year, but with extra. A friend of mine gave me the inspiration to do my eyeliner so that it looks like I've got a cobweb in the corner of each eye.
And now Hyde, pictured below, is inspiring me to add extra details along the mouth as well. Also, sir, I must have nails just like yours IMMEDIATELY. That electric blue is driving me insane! (This is one of the visible changes J-rock has worked in me. Before I got obsessed with Gackt, Hyde, etc., I was indifferent to make-up and nail polish. But as soon as I saw a boy pulling it off really well, I wanted in, too. Not the usual boy-related motivation for a girl to try make-up, but then, I never was usual . . .)

In other news not dominated by J-rock, I was fangirling yesterday over a pair of Supernatural rings, which I'd bought on Etsy, that came in the mail. (If you haven't visited Etsy, fair warning: IT IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY TO NERDS.) If/when I take the plunge and try to sell stuff on Etsy myself, I'm convinced that any pittance I make will immediately go straight back into buying more fandom treasures. Gah, those rings are so gorgeous! I'm wearing them as I type. :D (And also trying not to think about any possible psychological implications that might be drawn from a girl wearing rings with the names of fictional characters inscribed along the inside. ROFL.)

. . . busy browsing Black Friday deals on Amazon (another reason for the internet to trump real life), trying not to go crazy with the gothic jewelry. ZOMG, this is going to kill me.
I think, just to keep myself from spending over 100 bucks (funny how "good deals" suddenly make you feel like throwing cash out the window), I'll just have to restrict myself to the essentials. A better fake engagement ring (pretty cashiers having to suffer grandpas hitting on them all the time MUST have something, even though the eyesight of said grandpas probably can't pick it up) and a snake ring. Because I have always, always wanted a snake ring, and couldn't find one in my size and price range. Until now. Mwa ha ha . . .
