I Came, I Lurked, I Registered
Hello Everyone,
Just thought I'd finally sign up after procrastinating for so long about doing so. Call me Minerva, I'm a Gothic Educator in Canada where I host "The Domestic Gothess Tea Seminars" and teach sewing, corsetry and costuming and a variety of other mediums depending on the class topic. When I'm not teaching or working I'm writing and working on the up and coming gothic crafts website some of us are trying to pull together. Aside from that, I'm not sure what else I should say here.
Thanks for Reading,
Minerva

I don't quite teach people about Goth I teach dark craft and sewing and such. I t all depends on what I'm brought in to teach about.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job) Lords, what don't I do. Hmmmm.... Sewing, constructing, reading, writing, teaching, working, cooking and plotting generally consumes my days.
2. Where are you from? Canada
3. Who is your favorite author? Rice, Shakespeare, The Brontes and most 18th century authors that don't put me to sleep.
4. What are your favorite films? Last Life in The Universe, A tale of two sisters, Vampire Effect and most Chinese horror drama.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding? "The Courtesan's Lament"? (I'm not sure what it's called, it's from a lovely Chinese opera.) Or Something by Orgy.
6. At your funeral? How Morbid... Hmmm..... I don't think it'll matter much since I won't be there.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die? Like a slowly enfeebled matriarch, surrounded by my minions and dressed in my finest ball gown and jewels while they all mourn and wait for my last breath while doting on me as I should, knowing full well that once my last breath is taken anarchy and civil war shall break out amongst them to take my place.
8. What kind of casket would you want? They'll probably cremate me, just to make sure I'm good and dead.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit? A large petticoat under a heavy velveteen skirt with Fleur de li lace trim. A tightly cinched Victorian or Edwardian corset in red or sharp green overtop of a sensible blouse or top. Throw a lacy apron over top of it all and I'm set.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid? I've never left such a state. Immortality and eternal youth is a frame of mind.
11. What's your favorite band? Robin Fucking Black and the Intergalactic Rock Stars, Lacuna Coil, Dir en Grey and Bach
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major? Just finishing up the tail end months of an English Lit Degree.
13. Why did you join? I have no idea, I lurked for quite a while and here I am now.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender? Female. I hope my answers did give it away.

I really don't like that, it's as if you're saying "I sew, what could I be other than female?!"

The only man I've ever met that sewed was my third cousin Matt, and he was gay.

Actually I was referring to my use of the terms Matriarch, petticoat and such. I have a lot of male students in truth. As well my name refers to "Gothess" which usually offers a female bias more so than an androgynous term like "Goth" Would. BUt if I've offended, I apologize.

We need to keep it that way!
If men start sewing and cooking, women will want to do man things, like drive and vote!

I was only saying that the only man I've ever met who sewed was gay. I never said that I thought it was wrong.

Awesome, Eventually We do plan on getting some filming done and putting a few on the net somewhere so distance won't be so much of an issue.
Thanks for being so welcoming guys!

Why is his sexuality even relevant?
I like to paint, and I have grey eyes. Great.

Because he's the only gay man I know and also the only man I know who does "domestic" things. I know plenty of straight men and none of them do anything considered domestic.

I do cooking,too.
It's necessary. I lived on my own and the restaurants are in uptown...and they're way too far.

Most guys from highschool do know how to sew because Clothing was an easy credit ^_^ And every guy I dated cooked very well, I must have a subconcious attraction to that. Anyone who feeds me delicious things has my undying affection
