LHP: It's the New Black
Wednesday September 26, 2007
Anyone who's ever met me knows I am what is politely called "fashion challenged". My everyday gear usually consists of a tank top and a peasant skirt, although sometimes I'll live dangerously and wear my pirate t-shirt (which reads "The beatings will continue until morale improves") paired up with a pair of harem pants. Needless to say, the haute couture folks in New York will not be knocking on my door any time soon. Because of this blissful lack of fashion awareness I suffer from, I have never opened a copy of Vogue magazine. So when someone forwarded me an article from Jezebel, about the newest French Vogue fashion layout, I had to share it with you all. It's hilariously awful.
Featuring lots of fun makeup, Tarot card accessories, chain mail, a goat, and torn bits of black stuff, the spread is all about Voodoo, someone's occultified perception of Wicca, and black magic. You too can dress in the style that all the hot Left Hand Path girls wear! My personal fave? The gold lame' bodysuit with armored breastplate, paired up with my grandmother's black brocade curtains. I'm totally wearing that to my high-schooler's next volleyball game. The pink pants with the built-in hands come in a close second. I can wear those on days when I feel bloated, and it'll help me keep my middle squeezed into place.
Yes, folks, the Devil has given up on Prada and now wears Sacrement Inspiree.

All I have to say is “OH MY GOD”… lol
I rather like the shirt in the “Yorick” picture….
As for the other stuff– looks like they would fit in fine at most of the cons I attend, though they look too fussy for me to wear. The gold lame outfit looks like it could come from Star Wars– C3PO’s sister in a Jedi cloak, perhaps…
The only thing too weird for words is that pair of pink pants(?!)– they look like she stepped into an up-side down, long-sleeved tunic….
Mairde!
I know I should be laughing at it. Was this the French Vogue Halloween Edition? This makes real Pagans and Wiccans look like a just fashion trend. Then again I get irked at all the teenage girls who think it’s cool and Goth to run around saying they are Wiccan just because it’s “in” or to upset their parents
LHP? This is superficial ignorance that gives us a bad name,lumping us with Satanists…as if.
Except for the Yorick shirt the rest is dreck. I’d wear the shirt to a PTA meeting …at night.
I feel for the innocent goat.
I hope the goat butted the “stylist”.
