what\'s wrong with this picture...?

I thought you guys might appreciate this picture, where someone caught me at an art event, wearing full genuine Victorian costume, chatting away on my 21st century phone.

Caption suggestions anyone?

You look so poised, with your stemware and cell--maybe the basis for a "fashion eras" paper doll, where the basic form is you with drink & phone, and different decade clothing to attach? :P

Great photo, BTW--looks like you had a blast!

Yep, can't improve on Jonathan's take! What a great photo--great ensemble, you look like you're having a great time, and it was, I'm sure, a terrific event!

Yes I thought Jonathan's took the prize as well! Not only funny, but, of course, totally accurate dating! Cookie to Jonathan!

I like the paper doll idea too. I think the only reason I look so poised is because I had to wear a proper corset to have a hope of getting into that dress, so it was hard to look anything but poised...

It was a great night!
