lol. cool. You can like a colour and not wear it. I like silver but never wear it because it doesn't suit me! xxx

i like silver. unfortunately i seem to have misplaced my two rings.

Wear silver jewellery.

yes. i love silver jewlery! but i've lost my rings! i was putting hand cream on and so i took them off.....and now i dont know where they are!
i think i'll have to start a serious search for them.

Probably they're where you were putting handcream on.

yes... i know. i would have though that.
but noooooo that would make far too much sense. just you watch, i'll find them in the garage under a rug or something extremely stupid. nothing is ever where i think it should be.

Or in an air duct.

laugh if you woke up tomarrow and they were back on your fingers! lol. Maybe you have paltergeist or whatever you call them. lol.
xxx

poltergiest? at least i think thats how you spell it.

and yes job, i probably will find them years from now in an air duct. lets just hope i dont break them like i did the last ones.

i'll get u some new ones! lol. xxx

Have I ever sent you any rings?

what a nice offer

me? no, just that lovely earing! it's so cute!

a lovely earring? lol. Nothing to do with this but do you have any idea where to get vintage black bowler hats for under five pounds? xxx

yes, a lovely earing shaped like a mini guitar. perfectly wonderful.

as for the hats.... i have no idea at all, and if you find them let me know if they have top hats.... i want a top hat

can probably get one on ebay. looking on ebay for my bowler hat. Vintage ones are the best. You know they're more unique than the ones that have been made today. It has actual history to it! xxx

now theres something i hadnt thought of before.
i wonder if it would be better to know the story or if its just better to know the hat has a story but not know what it is...

Well vintage ones are probably both more expensive and more worn. And new ones are no cheaper than £20. If you really want a hat it's worth saving up for a new one. Unless you want a cheap plastic one which are about £3 from a costume shop. But they look tacky and break easily. Theyre also very very small.

I want a worn one though. Goes with my worn tights. lol. But i don't know you can tell it's a proper one from the times you know? Not one that's just churned out everyday by a mainstream-ish goth. And you know yours is just slightly different from millions of other gothic bowler hat wearers. 20 pounds is alot of money just for something as small as a hat. And you may not be able to find one in vintage stores for under 40 but you can get vintage ones on eBay for not as much. xxx

i think i'd like to make my hat its own history.

"But i don't know you can tell it's a proper one from the times you know?"

I don't know that you can, but Top hats were polished with mercury, hence the mad hatter myth.

"Not one that's just churned out everyday by a mainstream-ish goth."

I've never seen a goth in a bowler. I would like a tri corner hat though, I can wear it on pretentious days to school.

"And you know yours is just slightly different from millions of other gothic bowler hat wearers. "

Not necessarily. Make sure you KNOW it's authentic if that's what you want.

"20 pounds is alot of money just for something as small as a hat. And you may not be able to find one in vintage stores for under 40 but you can get vintage ones on eBay for not as much."

Watch the quality of them though. Thats the trouble with EBay, you cant see what you've got until it comes. £20 is quite reasonable considering a good new one may be £30, 40, 50 +.
