Something just for fun
Jun. 20th, 2002 11:59 pm...because Lord knows we could use it right now. Aren't these fun? It's like taking the quiz in Cosmopolitan magazine. I eagerly await reading the answers my friends give in their LJs (hint hint).
What colors do you like: Black, sapphire blue, hunter and forest green, purple, burgundy, silver.
What colors don't you like: Yellow, orange, brown, olive, anything remotely in that spectrum.
What colors do you have most of: Black and burgundy.
What colors look good on you: The ones in the first question, duh.
What colors look hideous on you: The ones in the second question, duh again.
Do you like shopping for clothes: I'd rather be pecked to death by ducklings.
Where do you usually shop: More upscale department stores and specialty stores when I have the money, but mostly I've been buying on eBay.
Do you care for brand names: Not so much.
If yes, which ones: See above.
If you had to classify your dress style, what would it be? Comfortable, sometimes oh so slightly gothish.
Describe your fashion history: Looks I have dabbled in, with results ranging from okay to wildly unsuccessful: goth, corporate, butch, rivethead, National Front, preppie, Joey Ramone, casual.
What's a style that you find yourself thinking you'll NEVER be a part of: Romantic, emo (whatever it is), hiphop.
Describe your favorite outfit based on comfort: Short flannel nightie, long bathrobe, slippers. Nobody said I had to leave the house in this outfit.
What do you wear to bed: Nothing, unless it's a biologically unfavorable time of the month.
When do you change into PJs: Oddly enough, I put on my PJs when I get out of bed.
Do you put anything on your face (aside from things like water, soap, or lotion) on a semi-regular basis? I have a regular cosmetics regimen so I don't frighten children, dogs, and elderly people.
If so, what: The whole catastrophe: foundation, powder, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, lip base, lipstick.
What kind of jewelry do you wear on a semi-regular basis: Any one of a number of rings with precious and semiprecious stones. I also have a fair number of garnet pieces, including a teardrop-shaped pendant of beautiful bohemian garnets. I got lucky with this one.
Do any of them have a significant meaning: The sapphire ring with its three oval stones (a stunning color like a deep lake under sun) is what my beloved S bought me for my traumatic 30th birthday.
Do you do anything (aside from washing, cutting, or brushing) to your hair: I despair of it a lot. It refuses to cooperate.
If so, what: It usually gets shunted behind a headband, or sometimes confined in a lopsided ponytail.
How many pairs of shoes do you own (total): Probably 18 to 20.
How many do you wear on a regular to semi-regular basis: Three.
Describe the ones you wear on a semi-regular basis: Black gothish granny boots, black gothish roachkillers, and my beloved Mephistos.
Do you usually carry a purse/bag: Heck yes.
If yes, describe: A Brighton handbag that has been through the wars with me and has suffered the depredations of weasels.
If yes, what's inside: I'll never tell.

Date: 2002-06-24 04:07 pm (UTC)The link thing is a pair of tags that go above and below everything you want to appear on a separate page: {lj-cut} and {/lj-cut}. Notice that I've replaced the angle brackets with curly brackets to avoid freaking out the lj software; of course you have to use angle brackets to make this work. By default, your link text will say read more. If you want to change this, modify your opening tag to say something like {lj-cut text="Woohoo!"}. Whatever you put between the quotes will take the place of the default text.
