    WOW! Looking beautiful as always- although I might be a bit biased as purple is my favorite color and i loooove latex. I’ve been saving up for lolita dresses but now that I have a few I think its time I saved up for some latex. My boyfriend really wants to go goth clubbing soon and I want to go in some pretty latex <3

    I love the gothic twist on pin-up. As for latex, I’m allergic so I can’t indulge. Luckily, there’s always vinyl.

    You look so different with your hair and makeup. Somehow it gives me the impression of those Japanese animes!
