2012 In Review

Well, well well, my sweet dark loves, what a YEAR IT HAS BEEN. We have seen the best, and the worst, out of the Kindred of the Camarilla (and a few Anarchs! And at least a couple of Giovanni!)  A year of the amazing couture and a year of crimes against fashion!

Milwaukee, we are looking at you. Oh yes, yes we are. After how Baltimore totally stood you up last year, we are expecting wonders. Do not disappoint us!

With that, we decided to give you all a reminder of the best of the best. Yes, darlings, here it is, the Best of 2012.

Dos and Don'ts for the 2013 Season

• Don't: No more Prom Themes. Seriously. Seriously! What's next, Kindred Under the Sea? Starry, starry night?  A Night in Paradise? Stairway to Heaven? Spend five minutes with a creative Toreador or with Tommy Truelove's drugs and come up with better ideas, party planners!
• Don't dress like Azrael Abyss, Prince of Sorrows. (But if you do, do it ironically and send us hilarious photo ops.)
• Don't be a stereotype.  You can do better.

• Do be adventurous! If you want to be written about (and we know you do!), wear something that will catch attention!
• Do make statements! Statement necklaces, statement shoes, statement hair, statement Fendi bag with an adorable little ghoul puppy in it!!
• Do accessorize.  Fabulous hats, gloves, distinctive jewelry.  Wear fabulous shoes (beauty is pain, darlings!)
• Do establish a signature item (Except you, Julius Cole.)
• Do: Tailoring.
• Do: Ladies, every single one of you, when in doubt, a little black dress can never go wrong.
• Do: Gentlemen, when all else fails, wear a suit.  For real.

That is all my dears!
