Blackvelvet - Skeletons in the Closet

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Victorian biatch extraordinaire!

Hi, I'm Sannie. A 21 year old girl from the Netherlands. I am the owner of a gothic clothing store called Skeletons in the Closet. All clothing is designed and made by me.
Some people have said that I am born in the wrong age. I disagree. The comfort of this age is great. But i do love the manners, clothing and standards of the 19th century. I try to collect as much information about the victorian age as I can. Yes I am a bit addicted. Every now and than I also do like the short skirt-high heel-look. Especialy when I go out to dance.
Well enough about clothing (altough I can talk about it for hours)
I am a married woman, and I am not looking for any adventures or something like that. Also I have a propedeuse dutch law. I am also very interested in religion and legends. If you would like to discus religion do not hessitate to start a conversation.
..
If you have questions juist ask! Please note that I also do custom made items, so if you have a great Idea, bring it on!

Every now and than I model :-)
