Rule 1: A Burton Girl's best friends are ...Thunder-storms.

Today the sun was shining like crazy. I wore a sleeveless black top and black trousers.

Oh my, how hot I felt that day.

But what a nice surprise when it finally started to rain! Of course it had to be in a "crazy" way aswell. ;)

I was at my friend's home (not the "also-weird-friend's", by the way) and we were learning English stuff for school, when suddenly the sky became much darker and it thundered over our heads. It was raining cats and dogs!

... The thunder-storm was pretty relaxing, actually.

It inspired me to create this little set.

Lydia's saying "Hi!"

I think she fits gloomy, rainy days perfectly.

(This is my first polyvore set, so please bear with me.. !)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do in the rain anything "Burton-esque", so I hope this list here is, at least, satisfying your/my imagination.

A Burton Girl's activities in the rain (or thunder-storm):

1. She does the "Rain Dance"- slowly spins around, moves her fingers gracefully and holds her hands high above her head to the sky, smiling, trying to eat the rain...

2. She steps angrily into puddles, mumbling "There is a hole in the world like a great black pit", ruining her beautiful striped tights, borrowed from Mrs Lovett (oops)...

3. She wonders how Willy Wonka is going to make a new candy, featuring clouds, thunder-storms and little cats and dogs. (does he like cats and dogs? maybe chocolate ones, she wonders next.)

4. She asks the Mad Hatter whether his hat is water repellent or not. If not, she buys him an umbrella with many little hats on them (aww)

5. She thinks the Red Queen's head is much more frightening than the big dark thundering cloud above her.

6. She tells Ichabod he should go hide under a tree before the headless horse man is finding him, just to watch him running away when the lightning hits it.

7. She tells Ed Wood that this is a good and cheap opportunity to make a film about an apocalypse.

8. She throws a tea-party. Hatter, Alice, March Hare, The Tweedles, The White Queen and Batman are invited. For the bat she made the cutest things ever- little cupcakes with Joker's face on them...and she doesn't forget to force him to eat them.

9. She places a piano in the garden and plays with Emily and Victor a "piano trio".

10. After she called Beetlejuice for three times she makes "mud angels" with him.

11. And finally, she invites Tim Burton over for dinner (this time, Johnny cupcakes) and asks him when there is going to be a(nother) film about girls like her.
