Clothing Question
It has come to my realization recently that I don't have any dress-up-and-go-out-dancing clothes. I have work clothes, and nice clothes, and costuming, but with the exception of perhaps one skirt and a shiny metal top, I don't have anything appropriate to wear for flailing around the dance floor at the local goth club/dance night/what-have-you. I used to have a few outfits, but most of them either don't fit anymore or are worn out from over-wearing.
The problem is, I have no idea of where to go about finding such things. I think there's a Hot Topic not too far from here, but I'm really not into the whole 'corsets and plaid micro-mini-skirts' look - I just don't have the figure for corsets, and that look is a bit overused anyway.
So, any suggestions about where I might be able to find dance-y outfits that fall outside that particular narrow niche that seems to have conquered the entire goth market? Locals, is there *anywhere* around Boston that I might try, and/or anyone willing to go shopping with me and keep me from collapsing in a puddle of pity, self-hatred and body image disorder in the dressing room? Non-locals, any decent online shopping you can point me to?

In case it wasn't clear, I would be delighted by a chance to take you there. Both because it is a cool place and more people should shop there. And because getting to help you find fun clothes would be lots of fun for me as well.

Any chance you'll be able to make it to our housewarming, by the way? I do miss seeing you....

Let me know when shopping works for you. I may or may not be able to this coming week. Big limiting factor is that my Subaru goes bye-bye this friday, and I won't have good long-distance wheels until I find/but/register another car.
