The contest hasn't ended, but I was contacted by Lisa Lewis (a big Victorian aficionado http://www.victorianalady.com/ I'm a follower of her groups Victorian Lady and Victorian Mourning on Facebook) for permission to have my photo featured in her book on Fashionable Victorians (she said it would be under the neo-Victorian segment of her book). Of course I said that I would be honored to be featured in her book and I would be looking forward to it. Finally, a non-ugly picture of me will be featured in a book that wasn't a school yearbook. _________________ "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy "The first rule of Goth Club is : You do not talk about Goth Club." - Milky Remember, Arthur and Lancelot: bros before hoes!

In honor of your Victorian debut, I've anagrammed you a Victorian name: Cassandra Pipkin-Charter = Carpathian Dark Princess Cheers! -- Nephele

I just need to make sure my friend - who took the photograph - gets back to me A.S.A.P. since she'd be given credit also and both of our signatures are needed in order for it to be released. Who knew that a random day out in the cemetery would lead to all of this? _________________ "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy "The first rule of Goth Club is : You do not talk about Goth Club." - Milky Remember, Arthur and Lancelot: bros before hoes!

Carpi, I'm sure everyone's looking forward to seeing you in this book! I know I am! -- Nephele

I've never heard of her before, but I would love to get that book when it comes out! It was a beautiful photo, so I cannot say i am too surprised! _________________ "May I have the Enlightenment of Buddha, the Peace of Gandhi, the Balance of Loazi, the Confidence of Hypatia, the Logic of Dawkins, and the Science of Sagan to guide me in all things." -Midi

Here's her Victorian Mourning page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Victorian ... 3627150562 And here's a page with more details on the book: http://www.victorianalady.com/newsreleases.html If you watch the Science Channel show "Oddities" you might have seen her in the season two episode featuring the three little (deformed) piggies. ^_^ I couldn't find a clip of her in the show though. _________________ "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy "The first rule of Goth Club is : You do not talk about Goth Club." - Milky Remember, Arthur and Lancelot: bros before hoes!

I haven't been able to do some hardcore sewing until this week now that school is out, but I got a ton of clothes for my birthday this year and the shirt and the skirt I'm wearing are some of them. ^_^ _________________ "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy "The first rule of Goth Club is : You do not talk about Goth Club." - Milky Remember, Arthur and Lancelot: bros before hoes!
