"Poison ring" is actually a misnomer. Rings with "secret" compartments have been a popular fashion accessory for centuries. Typically, a lock of hair was what was carried inside, sometimes a tiny portrait. I used to have one, and a good friend of mine has several.  I know the rings you're talking about, tho, Frosty. I very nearly did the same thing.

As for accessories....when I get home, I'll take a pic of a ring I bought the other day because it looks exactly like the rose gate to the dueling arena. I mean...I flipped. It was kinda' funny.

I love those things. Wish I could find a good one that actually fit my strange body proportions.

Me too. My best friend (who also happens to be a raging Utena fan) bought a gorgeous one for me in Shiori-purple a couple of years ago--it's one of my top favorite clothing items. I wear it when I'm in an incompetant or weak mood because it makes me feel awfully princely.

Did you see Balenciaga's line last spring?  Heavenly.

I has me some black and white Anthy cuffs I wear alot... And I've drawn out a bunch of outfits to make... I'm just so freakin lazy though. X____x

I also have a dire need to make EVERYTHING smell like roses, but I've always done that, mainly because my senses are screwed up and roses smell nice. (dunno if it counts, but I *wear* the rose oil)

I'm more an Utena inspired interiors person... too bad no one I live with is.

This calls for new roommates.  IRG housing development, anyone?

This is a good idea. I've been rewatching the first arc, where there are more shots of the actual school and the architecture, and god damn do I love it. I actually like the look of the original school more than the way they did it for the movie, though the movie had really awesome set design. It just struck me less like a place I'd want to live.

^my Shiroi-colored (the color isn't totally accurate in the photo--it's a little more purple) "prince" jacket.

It looks sort of ill-fitting in the picture, but that's just because I was sitting really weirdly.

I'm thinking of the all white/all black ones that were a very nice sort of Victorian/military fusion.

The mouth of Nessy is indeed gorgeous. As is the jacket.

Aww thanks guys.

Speaking of my mouth (haha wow that sounds kinda weird ) I bought Hello Kitty rose flavored lipgloss today...and it looks REALLY SKU, even with the giant cartoon cat head on the front. I'll see if I can post a photo later, it's really really cute. Sort of hot pink-red with these gold rose emblems all over it...and Hello Kitty has lil' roses stuck behind her ears...and it smells heavenly. They had Hello Kitty rose wallets, too, and I almost bought one of those too because it also reminded me of Utena...(which is the main reason I bought the lipgloss )
