Yikes...yeah its tradition in my family to wear your mothers wedding dress....thank god I nixed family tradition when I left.

Hah!

I'm also kinda glad there's no wedding ring tradition for me. I'm not the oldest granddaughter on either side of my family, so I won't get a ring from either grandmother, and my mom has been married twice (and is divorced from my dad anyway), so I won't get a ring from her either.

lol, thats nice for you then ^.^

I don't like tradition. It makes no sense to me.

My friend Amber wore part of her mom's dress, but she had it significantly altered. Like, it pretty much just had her mom's bust and nothing else.

I love tradition.......but my mothers wedding dress was hideous xP

I'm set for a lifetime of tradition-destroying. I'm not a fan of commercialized holidays, and that's basically all that's "tradition" in our family. So when I have kids (woooo....), I'll be making up a bunch of new traditions to have with my own family. HOORAY FOR THE ADVENTURE I CALL LIFE!

New traditions. XD I don't think it works that way.

I've always planned to celebrate Christmas with my family on New Years. Get all of the after christmas sales.

Sizz: What about a gothic wedding dress?

:drool: That dress is gorgeous! Too bad I already got married. ^_^' I got my dress on clearance for 300 dollars and it was shaped a lot like that with the corset top and full skirt. It was white though, with beaded stars on it. It was originally something like $800-900 and it was the last one left. Thankfully it just happened to be my size. I love a bargain. I also wore a tiara, because what other day in a woman's life can she dress up like a princess and not get looked at funny? lol....although I periodically wear my tiara while I do housework. ^_^' It makes vacuuming feel ever so glamorous.

See now I work retail.....so christmas week is like taboo for requesting off. I usually celebrate a week or two after when I go spend time with my brother......and my sister usually comes too.

My family has at least three Christmas celebrations. One on Christmas day at my grandmother's house, one on New Year's weekend at my parents' house with my sister and her family as well, and one just between my hubby and I. ^_^'

You are my hero :heart:

lol, thanks. ^_^ Who says I can't be queen of my castle, ne? lol ^_^ Sometimes I wear my kitty ear barrettes instead. Those, I'll actually wear out of the house. ^_^ I'd wear the tiara out but my husband is bipolar and I don't want to stress him out by drawing too much attention. O_o' The little black cat ears usually elicit only brief staring followed by studiously avoiding eye contact with me when I catch them at it. The tiara would bring silly people asking questions. lol. In winter, I sometimes wear my cloak instead of my coat. My mother would be mortified. lol. She refused to make me one because she knew I'd wear it for more than Halloween. lol. She was right but I found someone else to make it for me. It's black crushed velvet with a purple satin lining. So pretty. ^_^

=o

I HAVE KITTY EARS LIKE THAT they are black with pink on the inside and they're so cute :squee:

Mine are plain black and I too think they are really adorable. ^_^ Did you get them from Hot Topic? lol. I got mine there ages ago.

Yes >w<

I haven't been to a hot topic in YEARS though... x_x

Me either. I haven't had money to spare and I can't go in one without wanting something. lol. It got frustrating. ^_^'

I stopped going in around the time that Fallout Boy got really popular. I was all "eww... no thanks."

That, and I had terrible luck with my merch breaking or wearing out very quickly. One time, I had a necklace fall apart as soon as I took it out of the store! The clerk was cool enough to replace it for me even though it was "opened" (I tore the paper hanging thing to get the necklace out), but still. Ridiculous.

I did have an awesome pair of pants from there that lasted quite a while though.

And I do have a corset from there still, but it does not fit me as I'm about... 4 cup sizes too large for it now. >3>

I have a lot of Hot Topic stuff. You do have to be a bit selective about their stuff though. I've gotten some really poor quality merch there a time or two. But since they are the only place other than online to find Invader Zim merch and other rarities (like decent fake vampire teeth ^_^ ), I forgave them and kept shopping there. I just got a bit more picky.

Oh! I forgot about my Zim stuff... I have two big-headed Gir pillows (one robot and one dog). The robot Gir has eyes that stick out... not unlike boobs >3>;;

Well, the dog does too, but they don't stick out as far xD

Shhh, don't judge me, I got them when I was 12, and at the time it was hilarious... jeez that makes me feel old now.

lol, I have two pairs of gir shoes, a purse, a Zim messenger bag, t-shirts, a hoodie, some plushie keychains, a talking statuette, er....I'll stop now. ^_^'

I like Fall Out Boy. XD

I only know the name and that they are a band. O_o' I'm not much into secular music. I listen to mostly christian rock and rap. Though I do like Linkin Park and a few other artists.

Cora made her own cloak. But its nice that I'm not the only one to wear it out of the house. I got arrested once for wearing it to the mall though, They claimed I was trying to steal with it.

... Did they see you trying to steal anything?

O_O' Seriously? That is messed up. It borders on harassment. What made them think you were stealing? Besides, they can't legally accuse you of stealing unless you actually leave a store without paying for something you've picked up. I worked at Walmart for a while, the LP people had to be sure a thief had actually taken something out the doors before they could stop them and bring them back inside to arrest them.
