Merci beaucoup Auntie Jillian!

I started following you here on tumblr a few years ago because I enjoyed what you reblogged, but what’s kept me following are your replies to asks, so kind and thoughtful, it’s clear that your advice comes from a lifetime of experience, a sense of dignity, and a generous disposition.

I didn’t have an Auntie Jillian when I was a baby bat, and I’m so glad that I can recommend today’s baby bats and elder bats and everyone in between to you, the Lady of the Manners, as a resource for all things goth: music, fashion, manners, culture, etc. *u*
