Yesterday I stopped off at elf-mart, and ended up seriously disappointed... it is clear that the LOTR clothing boom is over, past, done, finis. Not a laced, embroidered, or decorated neckline in sight. No earth-tones. Nothing that an elf or a hobbit would look at twice.

Everything was neon. You could wear the new stuff in the blackest depths of Mirkwood and be seen three leagues away. At night.

Boy, am I glad that I've been stocking up over the past four years. I'll have to start taking ***really good care*** of the elvish & hobbitish shirts, jackets, etc that I'd picked up. Who knows how long it will be til the next Tolkien movie comes out?

At least I can always pick up an elvish dress at any good (asian-) Indian import store.
