Finsternis

[ciphergoth]

Just to say I will be going to Finsternis tonight, maybe see you there?

What I'll be wearing depends on whether the dry cleaners get my velvet coat ready in time (Update: yes!)

In news from other LJs on my friends list:

• I keep glancing back to the extraordinarily wonderful dress that corsetboy pointed us to, and gasping with lust and desire. I want very much. I want for this Whitby. I keep imagining this dress standing out in the darkened room at the Spa. I wouldn't be that surprised to learn it cost a five-figure amount though.
• Contrary to what the Discovery Channel says, witches were traditionally depicted riding broomsticks brushes to the back just as you might expect.
• Science Made Stupid
• Don't buy from the Black Rose.
• I keep updating LJs like these long after I've posted them, though I try to keep in mind not to invalidate whatever comments people might have made...

the witch thing is definately true- i've seen medieval manuscripts with witches' brooms pointing to the back.

I wrote the article ciphergoth pointed to and I'd be interested in references to manuscripts other than the French one I found, especially if they support my case! I had to write the piece on the basis of what I could find in a hurry, without access to a university library.
