I'm Dolly Glass. I've been a long time lurker of goth communities and other such things but have only recently gained the bravery to finally start indulging myself in the gothic fashions I have so long admired.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I don't currently have a job but I'm slowly working on it. I spend much of my time reading or writing short stories. I'm also learning to knit and sew little things.
2. Where are you from?
I live in central Florida and have been here all my life. I enjoy my homestate but do wish to visit other places such as New Orleans, Savannah, N.Y. and Annaheim.
3. Who is your favorite author?
What a difficult question. I adore J.D. Salinger, as my username alludes to. Fitzgerald and Edwin Arlington Robinson both have very special places in my heart. Alice Hoffman always has the ability to enchant me while Charles de Lint helps open my eyesight a little when it comes to the mixing of fantasy of reality.
Then, of course I have soft spot for vampire novels such as
Lost Souls,
Sunshine, and
Interview with the Vampire.
4. What are your favorite films?
Repo! The Genetic Opera is hands down my absolute favorite film of all time. I practically know it by heart. Pan's Labrynth, American Psycho, Lost Boys, Funny Games and Hunchback of Notre Dame (the animated Disney one) are also ones I enjoy often. I actually enjoy most of the animated Disney movies.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I don't plan on getting married because I don't particularly believe in it .(though I would never dissuade someone from going through with it)
If I had to choose I would play a variety of genres since my tastes often bounce between bands like Mindless Self Indulgence to Florence + the Machine to Stars and several things in between.
The actual isle and first dance song would depend on who I loved enough to convince me to get married.
6. At your funeral?
Dead Hearts or One More Night (Your Ex-Lover is Still Dead) by Stars
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
After unreasonable success on several books I will suddenly no longer be able to write so in a fit of despair I will drown myself in the ocean at night.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
A plain but pretty cherry wood with some sort of female figure statue as my headstone.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
My fitting little black dress with baby doll sleeves. I usually wear a pin-striped vest over it, black opaque panty-hose and grey suede flats with flowers on the toes. Then I have a necklace with the silver twisted into swirlies around black stones or a simple pearl necklace. Not the most exciting outfit but it's very versatile.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
The willful ignorance of what's wrong with your family and the ability to believe in fanciful things without science screaming logic in the back of my head.
11. What's your favorite band?
Does the Repo! soundtrack count?
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Currently a Senior in high school. I plan to attend a private college and either major in Business Administration and go on to work for corporate Disney managing theme parks or something fashion related.
13. Why did you join?
To meet more people and have nice discussions as well as learn new things.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Female.
