Wednesday Link Round-Up

I've sorta been slacking on my link round-up's, not too many things have been titillating my brain waves and/or eye balls as of late. Now I'm back with some compiled internet info and perhaps something to distract you from doing real work (then again isn't the internet (in general) a big huge distraction?!).

+The husband I am have been playing apartment tetris and looking at all the photos in this blog wants me to throw everything out and start over again. Ok, ok, not really, but I love mid century modern and these photos are very inspirational.
+Porl Thompson of The Cure is now Pearl?! There are also some changes brewing that makes me a sad Cure fan.
+If you love vintage hairstyles, check out this blog, it's wonderfully informative!
+Check out Lady Bethezda's awesome video about fake eyelashes. Isn't she hot!?

Thanks for reading!!!

Link Round-Up : Etsy!

Cleaver-age. Necklace by Spragwerks

I absolutely love Etsy as a place to find interesting and unique items and to help support independent alternative designers. When I was styling for Auxiliary Magazine, I would spend hours upon hours scouring Etsy's website finding new designers to work with and feature their creations. This week I dedicate Wednesday's Link Round-Up to things that I admire and I think you will too!

+I pretty much drool over everything Martha Rotten makes, especially these bangle bracelets.

+Gorgeous handmade neck ruffles that are made with care, I own one and the craftsmanship is amazing!

+Soft, romantic, gothy. If this describes your fashion tastes, then be paired to admire this skirt and the rest of the items that this designer has to offer.

+Accessories, accessories, ACCESSORIES! Sweetheart Sinner offers something for everyone and their items make great gifts at very affordable prices.

+If you're creepy and kooky, and you like your hair to be the same, then check out Miss Elizabeth's hair creations.

+If you like sleek cyber, futuristic garb, I highly recommend splurging on these guys.

Happy Etsy-ing!!!!

Link Round-Up : Funny Stuff To Watch

My hubby and I have a great sense of humor and any time we find silly things on the worldwide web we share it with each other. I know these little comical things can be time consuming and mind numbing, yet sometimes you just need to indulge yourself!

Warning: Get ready to waste some time!

+If you like Nine Inch Nails and you like to play bingo, watch this and enjoy SORP Films humor.
+BBC certainly has an awesome sense of humor, especially when a whole show is about talking animals.
+I'm late to the game, but the honey badger doesn't give a shit!
+You've been goth blocked! This is an oldie, but still funny to watch!
+Once again BBC brings us comedy with Spine Chillers and this episode always makes me laugh. Make sure to watch all four parts!

Wednesday Link Round-Up : Playing Catch Up

Amazing truck we saw at the Dixieland Flea Market

Phew! I've been on a small vacation with friends for the past week and I'm back home. We traveled from Buffalo, NY to Michigan state to visit my friend's family, go clubbing, and my husband worked a little while we were there. Despite having a blast, it's good to be home!

We did some shopping while we were in Michigan and I got to take a look at a few things at Hot Topic. Whether you love or hate the store (in my mind) it serves a purpose for satisfying my, "I want something NOW", retail therapy. Here are a few items that caught my eye.....

+They are calling the goths back with these dangling cross earrings. The more crosses the better!

+Little spiders on stockings! These are a great way to infuse some spooky spiders into an outfit without screaming, "HALLOWEEN".

+This studded accent belt is only $3.99!

+I saw these hair bows in black at the store, nicely made and super duper cute!

Alright darlings, I'm sure you're all scowling at me because I linked you to the dreaded HOT TOPIC OF DOOOOOOOM, but Hot Topic will never be what it was years ago. The store serves a purpose as it still has some spooky undertones and when they have a sale you can get things for dirt cheap. I treat the store just like any other trendy juniors clothing store, if it's not your clothing style=check out the accessories, if you don't fit into anything=shop for stockings, hair doo-dad's, or lipstick. The moral of this all is, don't rule out any store as you never know. I shop everywhere to find deals and even though I prefer to support the 'little guy', those little cheapie's make my wardrobe diverse and give me some DIY projects to work on.

PS-I see that this blog is all black, I'm keeping that way as it's spookier. Haha! *Wink*

Wednesday Link Round-Up : Music!

This week is dedicated to music! Wooooo! I can't get enough, I can't live without it, and I certainly consider myself a music lover! Some of my favorite styles of music are; goth, industrial, post-punk, punk, deathrock, gothabilly, psychobilly, swing, surf, 90s dance music and a whole mess of other cheesy goodness. I am linking you to some bands that I have been enjoying as of late.

+If you love dark post-punk, check out The Rope.
+The Acid Bats are a deathrock band from Mexico who are worth a listen too.
+Often compared to The Cure and also covering their song, 'Upstairs Room', Veil Veil Vanish is an amazing band from San Francisco
+Hailing from the eerie shores of Ohio's great lake, Cult of the Psychic Fetus is not only one of my most favorite bands, they helped to define the gothabilly genre.
+Another deathrock band I enjoy Eyaculacion Post Mortem, has a hard name to say with a really nice sound.
+Check out Selebrities, I'm sure they will get your feet moving.

Happy music listening!

Link Round-Up : Support Independent Designers and Stores

                Miss Elizabeth and myself wearing our husband's fez's. We're enjoying a bit of bowling.

This week I wanted to share some of my favorite independent designers and stores that I love. Supporting the little guy is good for the soul and makes you sexier (in my honest opinion). *Wink*

+What a tangled web we weave, and I may need this dress from Sourpuss Clothing. Too cute!
+Post Apocalyptic fashion never looked so good!
+You will fall in love with Martha Rotten's designs. I'll take one of each please!
+I simply adore a good bustle!
+So many graphic options, so little time. Treat yourself ;)
