kouse's sanctum never fails to create gowns that a) don't make me inwardly cringe at typing the word "gown" b) never fail to make me wish i had 30 seconds to reach through the screen and slip my fingertips over the skirts for some fleeting frisson of tactile gratification. and i'm just talking about her group gifts... check out what she's blessed us with for september:



there's a second, fuller skirt option, and a heavy silver belt i forgot to wear in my haste to drop everything and blog this before work. thank you so much, kouse!

worth a not-free shout out is my new, limited edition vampire skin from den-dou. through october 31st, for 1500L, you get 10 skins featuring several bloodthirsty, ethereal, glossy-mouthed, insert-swooning-adjective-here makeups in two eyebrow options, plus another bonus skin. it might be pricey but it's worth it, as it eschews the kitschy cartoonishness of so many vampire/horror skins and instead opts for a luminous kind of innocence that will gnaw the fuck out of your jugular the second you let your fool guard down.

hair's not free and by shop seu.
