I'm flat on my back with a stomach bug, but I'm already one day late posting, soooo I'll just throw a little bit of prose at you and then give you the photos I have.
Forgive me, dear readers!
This is my other bestest friend,
Emilee and I at a concert one of our friend's bands played ("
Crow Theory" is their name, and they rock. Look them up!!!). Em and I were each other's date, and kinda lolita style:
she was the girl, and
I was the boy (haha). We even walked down the street with her arm through mine.
Lolita? For a concert? you may be asking (
jusifiably). Why, yes. See, the music ranged from punk to screamo to girl bands to everything in between. So, really, there was no way to dress specifically for the event. We just decided we'd wear whatever we wanted, and if we made a scene, so what? (People who know us are not surprised by this news.)
Luckily, when we reached the venue, there were all different types of people and outfits, so we didn't stick out too badly. AND THE GIG WAS AWESOME.
Speaking of making a scene, though, we definitely had to snap these photos inside of a Cousin's Subs restaurant we ran to for dinner between bands...heh heh...

| Heeeeeere's EM! Ain't she pretty? |
 |
| See? I had to be the boy. I have a tophat and tailcoat. |
 |
| Look! My fishnets are backseamed. Cute, huh? |
 |
| Thi-hi's over fishnets with combat boots. [YES.] Never thought I'd wear that out of the house. |
Anyway, I can't give you much of a rundown of where Em's stuff is from. It's mostly ordered online. I just wanted to point out that her skirt is an asymmetrical hemilne called a "
phoenix"-style (in case anyone whats to look one up). She's wearing a full petticoat and
zebra-striped stockings. Her corset was bought online, and then she altered it slightly (like a BOSS: she's a sewing whiz). Her arm party is from T.J. Maxx, I think.
