the search continues-
A prison
Of glass I made for myself
With walls as strong as childhood fears
Won't someone up above cast
a single pebble
and break this inhibition?
Deep abyss no light reaches
Shallow puddles teem with life

14)  What’s your ideal night out? First, some frozen margaritas! or Guinness! Later dancing to eighties music at a club, or seeing live bands play. I love seeing bands!

15)  What do you like most about the alt.gothic.fashion newsgroup? I mostly enjoy reading people's reviews of clothing websites, and reviews of cosmetics. I surf the web a lot, and find a lot of cool things on my own, but reading a.g.f is akin to having a hundred pairs of eyes! I have also participated in a couple of swaps, and I really had a good time playing Secret Santa / Great Pumpkin to the other participants! I love going shopping most when I'm buying for other people.

16)  Do you wear make-up? I used to wear it every day, but since taking the new corp job I have changed
my attitudes on it drastically. I save my makeup for when I can appreciate it
most-- the WEEKENDS!

17)  If so, what colours do you normally use, and what style? My style has been dark brown liq. liner, cat eye style, and red, pink or purple lippie for the past decade and a half. When I wear shadow, it's plums and pinks or greys and black.
For my nails, I'll wear anything; but I have a penchant for purples!

18)  What colour is your hair? Feria #73. Sometimes Clairol Torrids 'Audacious Red' when I can't find Feria.

19)  When did you last dye it? Today! Funny you'd ask..

20)  If you could have it any colour, what colour would it be? My favorite, deep royal blue. I will have this someday, I may have to be wealthy or retired first, but I WILL have blue hair, dammit!

21)  And what style? I have the cut I want most now. My only wish that it had more body.

22)  Do you think it’s unfair that girls/grrls have a much better choice of clothing? I think it's unfair that guys don't menstruate or suffer childbirth. No, sorry, color me unsympathetic in regard to clothing options. Deal, fellas.

23)  What do you think the cutest thing in the world is? Baby Chickens

24)  Do you hate filling in pants questionnaires? Now that you mention it, this is kinda long.. next question please!

25)  What is your favourite item of jewellery? My wedding ring.

26)  Is there any item of clothing that you wear at any chance you get? I live in black cotton leggings, and 14 eye Docs. But on more fanciful occasions I break out one of my many ballroom skirts!

27)  Is there any fashion advice you would like to pass on to any goth? Yes. Please, don't copy others! Take inspiration, fine -- but don't rip off anothers' style without adding a little of your self to the mix.

28)  What 3 words would you use to describe yourself? Me, Myself & Kar. :P

29)  What appeals to you most about Gothic fashion? The BLACK. Symbolic of artists, bad guys, clergy, magicians, mourners, musicians, nobility, pirates, poets, punks, scholars, witches, vampires, vamps and vixens throughout history. Trends come and trends go, but the black endures and it ties gothic fashion together.

30) If there is anything you think I have missed and you would like to add it, please add it now. You've covered it pretty well. Cheers and good night.
