BTW. Absinthe is actually really nasty. The mythos is much more appealing than the drink itself. Alas, it's not made with the hallucinogenic wormwood extracts in it anymore :< That *may* have redeemed it.


....Ugh. Back to packing.

I actually like Absinthe, if it has been diluted with sugar and water. ..Straight? Yeah, pretty nasty...

Lovely picture as always =]

I tried some straight a few years ago in Prague (it wasn't legal in the USA at that time, IIRC). It probably is much better the way you describe- isn't there a ritual with setting a sugar cube on fire over it before mixing it in?

I dig the outfits. I'll have to get a pair of socks like that. If I wanted to wear any of the other items, It would have to be on some sort of drag queen excursion.

Absinthe kind of grows on you after while, by the way. :]

I'm definitely going to sample absinthe in the future--hoping I won't get addicted. :O

That mini top-hat is love, silvergrey. It's really nice to see the details in both hair styles as well with the closeups on the side. Keep it up!

Very Nice! love the colors!

I want to thank you! I'm using Retroscope Fashions for me and my fiance's wedding attire and accessories. Which is all due to looking at all of the clothes you model for them. So gorgeous! :love:

And, if that's the new top hat, I might have to go ahead and order one. :D

I _LOVE_ this. Your hair is BEAUTIFUL. Is that the colour you decided on or is that PPed? :)

Also, absinthe is not nice in any way. But if you melt sugar into it and set it on fire it's doable. Green absinthe, that is. But never, ever, EVER, try black absinthe. There's a bar in Brussels called Floris that specialises in all different kinds of absinthe. Black absinthe is one of the most potent liquors out there (only beaten by I think like Everclear, I think it might be the same as Bacardi 151, not sure at all) and you do the same thing with it as the green- sugar, on fire, down it. I uh, basically almost passed out, dragged myself upstairs to the water fountain and tried in vain to drink water- my tongue, throat and mouth were so completely numb that I couldn't feel the water in my mouth. :| Yeeeea. :D Not an experience I'm looking to repeat.

PS- you can find absinthe that still has the wormwood in it (illicitly) in central europe. :) Never tried that one tho.
PPS- Sorry... I just felt like sharing my absinthe story xD
