Lily maiden person teaches Suzuki method. Didn't need to read the rest of it. It's good for getting tiny kids started, but it sucks as anything other than that.

A friend of a friend dresses in full Victorian garb almost all the time, but she also works for one of the big tech companies out here. (That's how she can afford to dress that way...) She *chooses* to dress that way because she likes it, not because it's something someone else has told her she must do. (And most of her clothes I believe are either vintage or handmade reproductions.)

Sad thing is, I'm sure there are men out there, who'd think the people like the lily maiden chick are a dream come true.
