Two-a-penny thing is an acerbic - yet suspiciously perky - 43-year-old elder goth, with an appreciation for eclectic aesthetics. At any given time, she might be found blogging, writing, reading, poring over forensics or forensic psychology books or journals, singing, engaging in various home improvement projects, or resisting her mild tendency toward hypochondria. Two-a-penny thing loves all things shiny, all things pretty, and beautiful scents with lovely notes and bases; she is obsessed with cosmetics, DIY manicures, and quality beauty products. She lives in Denver, Colorado, in a 123-year-old Victorian home, with her family and two pug dogs, Harry and Oliver. Oh, and you are welcome to call her Julie or Jules.
