NYC
So today I went to NYU and went on the campus tour. Which was good. Tomorrow we're going to Columbia and The New School, so I'll have something to compare.
And then we headed to Trash & Vaudeville in hopes of finding lolita friendly clothing/shoes, and my parents basically exploded over the fact that they sold some fetish/punk clothing and the salespeople were dressed differently and spoke of things such as hookers and other assorted unpleasantry, and I basically decide that in the future I needed to befriend such a person to prove to their ignorance and such person's awesomeness.
And then we went to Soho/Little Italy/China Town in hopes of finding the Lower East Side and spotting hipsters and shopping there and such. And then we got as far as Grand St., but it was getting dark and I was losing hope of finding anything. So we walked around in several circles to finally get on the right train, and got back to the house in suburbia where we were staying at.
Tomorrow, after the college tours, we're (finally!) going to hipster/artist central, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And then we have Sat., when I'll be headed to a Blythe gathering and dressing Gothic Lolita so we can go to the biggest cathedral in the world and take pictures, but without proper shoes or a petticoat due to my parents' fear of T & T.
And I'm missing out Fluxyblog DJ set at the Skinny in the Lower East Side as I type, and it's rather depresssing. But, hopefully, Williamsburg will make it alllll better.
