Social Implications of Fashion in the Modern World

Actually, I study and practice many different spiritual paths, but in my favorite path, to which I am most devoted, the most traditional attire for priest or priestess, participant, or even attendee, is to wear nothing but a smile... aside form decorative jewelry of course. I wonder how the Southern Baptists would react to that attire on Easter Sunday? Would God care. Not really, but Humans care very much. That is why I often take into consideration how others view my attire as a reflection of my attitudes towards others, towards myself, towards what is sacred to them, and of my upbringing regarding causing offense needlessly. Of course as a counterculture type, I often intentionally dress radically different from mainstream, but prefer to awaken the mind of those not yet totally brain dead with charm, grace, and glamour rather than attempting to shock them into a higher state of awareness. It is usually much more effective and produces a much more artistic and desirable result.

Creatures of the Night Event Sponsored by Kali's Hourglass at local Goth/Steam Dance Club

Yes that's right... Kali's Hourglass is at it again, but this time with fangs bared!   Some of the photos from this event were so macabre there was serious concern whether Facebook would permit the simulated Vampiric violence to be broadcast on their rather prudish site, so the full photo set from the performance art photo shoot with Ramon and Radha will be found only on this blog site!

When they weren't biting each other out on the patio for photographers  ...they were inside dancing their asses off!







Ramon privately admitted later that "laying across Radha's lap allowing her to ravage me for the cameras was definitely the most fun job I have ever had!"  Unfortunately the photographer hasn't delivered those shots yet.  Yea... OK they were still dressed, but the look in the eyes during that set says it all.  A very private moment made rather public.

It was a great event with Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, and Warlocks all having a great time and entertaining and socializing with other guests.  While only a few of the attendees were elaborately dressed, many of that club's regulars could be stark naked and still meet the above descriptions...literally!
(Hmmm...... maybe that's an idea for the next event???)
