it is a strange coincidence. the only thing i wear that i bought after hatching is the black dress. everything else did gather over the last 10 years (gloves are even older, from goth-era). i came home from workthinking i had nothing that would fit the theme of the evening.

when i got all the stuff, i didn't know for what i needed big ass butterfly earrings, or nailpolish of that color. yesterday it all made sense. the best thing abt coming out is that you can just do all the stuff you thought you'd like. and then like it.

your observation of cheap gloves is spot on btw.
