Gothic Quaintrelle?

I recently stumbled scross the word "quaintrelle" . I had read it before, but (for whatever reason) not given it much thought, let alone realized that it is the female counterpart to the dandy. I've searched for that kind of thing before, but  only finding the "femme dandy" and similar things (which is wonderful as well, but simply not for me), and was quite delighted to find that there was in fact a kind of movement (for lack of a better word) for us ladies (who don't have an androgynous, but very feminine style), and I don't have to create it myself.

a take on "femme dandy"

It is, however, not quite what I was looking for, though the ultimate goth guide published a post on the idea of the "goth quaintrelle", which is much closer to my style and ideals.

Of course the definition (or anatomy) isn't a fixed set of rules, if I can compare it to the very similar philosophy of dandyism. There are some things which remain more or less the same, whoever you ask, but the details vary from person to person.  While I see how a little snobbism (not arrogance!) has it's aesthetic, I don't like the idea of playing games to reach goals or the lack of empathy which quaintrellism declaires part of the "quaintrelle anatomy". I used to share that opinion, but have moved away from it.

I just can't wait to graduate and move some place different (better?). At the same time I'm a little scared that it won't turn out as I hope it will... What if I don't meet people with similar ideas and opinions as me?

Oh, I'm not going to think about that!
