But wait! There’s also exciting news for East Coast Snarklings! You clever creatures who have been looking at the Events! page know about the reading & signing that the Lady of the Manners is doing in New York at the Mysterious Bookshop on July 17th. Well! The very next day, from 1:00 ”“ 4:00PM, there is going to be a Gothic Charm School picnic/tea/wear-your-best-gothy-finery party at the historic Green-Wood Cemetery! Yes, the afternoon of July 18th will be a very fancy event, indeed. The Lady of the Manners will be posting more details about the picnic at Green-Wood, don’t you worry, Snarklings.

Well, in the third and final (for now, perhaps) Gothic Charm School video, the Lady of the Manners finally turns her attention to her fellow Goths and offers up some advice about how to deal with such questions and the attention they may receive.

Presenting Video The Second!
So remember last week, Snarklings, when the Lady of the Manners unveiled the first of the videos to promote Gothic Charm School and the upcoming book? Well guess what? It’s time for the second video! This one is about common questions and assumptions that Goths are confronted with all the time. Questions such as “Is that a costume?’ and “Are you a vampire?” Assumptions such as that we’re all depressed, and all support ourselves by working in coffee shops or doing tech support on the graveyard shift.

Of Goths And Aging Gracefully
Oh Snarklings, you do know how to cheer up the Lady of the Manners, don’t you? Sending in questions about how to age gracefully and still proudly display your shadowy tendencies; a topic near and dear to the Lady of the Manners’ heart, indeed!
A Snarkling who is a fellow ElderGoth wrote in to ask the following:
Dear Lady of the Manners –
I have, alas, reached that awful age of (shall I say it?)… maturity. In fact, this year I shall be forced to celebrate my 21st birthday for the 32nd time..
I know you gave advice on dressing to a professional who was turning 37… ah, those were the days.. but what about a home-bound Goth who’s a great deal older. Makeup, yes – but how much is too much for the eyes that are gaining crows-feet and just when does one give up and start letting the grey streaks appear?
I don’t want to look like a silly old bat who can’t see the mirror too well anymore, but I don’t want to give up being a romantigoth either. What does an elder Goth do??
