Well, I don't look like a Vampiress, but it's the name of the Hell Bunny dress that I am wearing. I'm finally able to wear this dress on its own without having to wear a sweater, which would cover up the lovely collar and sleeves.
I love these Sourpuss Coffin Drop Earrings. So simple, yet so versatile. I firmly believe coffins, spider webs, skulls, bats and crosses can be considered a "neutral" in a goth's wardrobe. Hehehe!
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I have the day off today and I plan on getting some tasks done around the house and check out a local dance event.
The Web White Skater Skirt by Kreepsville 666 was spotted on their Facebook page and I think it's too cute! Being a sucker for flared skirts, I had to share. *Wink, wink*
I'm finally getting a chance to wear and talk about the Shrunken Head Circle Skirt by The Oblong Box Shop which I wore during my trip to NYC. Though I still like the skirt, I've had some issues arise after washing it.
The polyester threads pulled out of the skirt! I have never had a polyester garment do this and I took great care while washing. I always wash on cold/delicate cycle and I never put anything like this skirt in the dryer. Machine's can do unruly things to garments, so I'm not blaming the company. I am just bummed, but it's not going to stop me from wearing the skirt.
Alright, enough of that. Let's get to the fun part of this blog!
Playing in the wind!!!
It's been so windy here in Buffalo, so I'm just going to (as Tim Gunn would say) "Make it work!". Weeee!!
Happy World Goth Day! Though I've never celebrated the day per say, yet it's still nice that people are coming together throughout the world! Just don't hug the goths....unless they like it. Hehe!
My goth "coming of age story" is not really clear. I was in High School and was alternative, I started going to raves at 14 and was into going to local shows. The 90s were a weird time, but a time where none of my friend's defined themselves as 'this or that', we just all hung out together. One big motley crew!
I don't know if it was fate when I had a guy come up to be at a hardcore show (we later "dated", I was only 14 and nothing happened other than hanging out) and asked me "Do you like The Cure?". Which I said, yes. Turns out he was a HUGE crazy Cure fan and gifted me with all sorts of music. I remember the one time we were hanging out listening to music and he turned and looked at me and said, "You are like Charlotte Sometimes", I had no idea what he was talking about other than The Cure song. Later on, after really listening to the lyrics of "Charlotte Sometimes", I understood and it has became my favorite Cure song. It was as if a seed had been planted......
My journey into goth wasn't really an exciting one, just a series of discoveries into industrial music (techno music was the gateway drug), than goth, and then the black fashion followed. Music has always been the number one influence on me as well as spending hours watching music videos and reading magazines and books about our beloved subculture.
So, Happy World Goth Day dear readers! Now let's all go dance to the record version of, "Bela Lugosi's Dead"...all 9 minutes and 30 seconds of it. Phew!
Let's all take a moment to 'ohhhh and ahhhhh' over The Spangled Maker's designs.Kitschy vintage illustrations you can wear?! Yes, please! I've got my eye on the Victorian Bat Girl Brooch and am already styling her into outfits as I type this. Hehe!
