Sexy Gothic Victorian Halloween Costumes

My older son asked recently what was meant by pre-Raphaelite? It's a scintillating (and rather sexy) term for women as idealized in the mid-Victorian period. A small community of artists and poets (like Rosetti) figured women with loose Titian tresses (mostly red), virginal gowns, prim, remote and oozing sensuality. Sexuality in Victorian times was taboo, subliminal, repressed and therefore hugely exaggerated.  

Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais painted mad Ophelia, drowned for unrequited love of Hamlet. Tenneyson's Lady of Shallot (another jilted suicidal lover), painted by Waterhouse is pure pre-Raphaelite. 

How erotic would it be it recreate a pre-Raphaelite zombie girl costume for Halloween? The artists conventionally showed the dead girls romantically laid out and incorruptible. But we know that corpses don't stay fresh. Zombies of vengeful or jealous dead lovers have walked the pages of horror fiction for centuries. The restless undead have plagued generations of Devil's night, Samhain and Walpurgis revelers. Looking to recreate some of those vintage creeps of yore? Here's a DIY guide to make Gothic Revival Victorian costumes for women. Gothic Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Ghost Halloween Costume Guide

Romantic Gifts for Husbands, Boyfriends and Lovers - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com

Best Gifts for Husbands, Boyfriends and Lovers We women often complain that our men aren't romantic. And then we buy them a tie and a wrench set for Christmas. If you want to light your man's romantic fire this holiday season, you need the right fuel. Here are romantic gifts for husbands, boyfriends and lovers. I've said this to men buying gifts for wives and girlfriends, and I'll repeat it to women buying gifts for husbands and boyfriends: do not buy gifts that represent work (appliances, tools). Do you want him to buy you a vacuum for Christmas? Also, do not buy your man a gift that you want him to use, but he will hate (aka a tie, tickets to the opera). This is a gift you would like. You have to buy him what he would like. Do you want him to give you season passes to the Possum Lodge Beer-a-thon? I thought not. The best way to shop for your guy is to get inside his head.

Sensual Gothic Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Ghost Halloween Costume Guide

Gothic Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Ghost Halloween Costume DIY Guide Zombies are not a new invention. They've walked the pages of horror fiction for centuries. The undead have plagued generations of Devil's night, Samhain and Walpurgis revelers. Looking to recreate some of those vintage creeps of yore? Here's a DIY guide to make Gothic Revival Victorian costumes for women. Originally, "Gothic" didn't mean the same thing as the "Goth" styles (black hair, dark clothing, vampiric overtones) of today. Gothic referred to a high medieval architectural style. Modern Goths are a throwback to the Gothic Revival (mid 1700s to early 1900s). They are influenced by the Victorians' dark obsession with rigid morality, morbidity and sexual frustration. Pre-Raphaelites opposed this hypocrisy and focused on innocent sensuality. Read on...
