I had hoped to get up early this morning and write a proper post as well as a challenge post but... that really didnt happen! I will knuckle down later and write something practical, honest. :-) 2. Y...
Being the clothes-obsessed, shopping-addicted creature that I am, I thought it might be fun to do the 30 Day Clothing Challenge. As Im sure youve already guessed, this challenge consists of a daily p...
Ive been guilty of writing more than a few posts on the subject of what, precisely, I feel a real Goth might be, but recently Ive been thinking - I can harp on as much as I like about what does ...
Sunny days! Armed with suncream, a parasol, a stack of magazines and a lounger, theres nothing summer can throw at me that I cant handle. (Except maybe wasps.) Birthdays. My 21st is fast approaching ...
Much to my surprise, this year the mainstream media (online, at least) has jumped all over the World Goth Day bandwagon. I think that if I have to type the words world goth day many more times this w...
Ill admit, I tried to switch my working days around this week so I could have the opportunity to spend a larger portion of WGD swilling absinthe, flicking through back issues of Meltdown and lounging...
Hello everyone! Wishing you a very happy and spooktacular World Goth Day; and hoping that, whereever you are and whatever youre doing, you have a little chance to release the bats and let your freak ...
World Goth Day has been hyped a lot on Facebook this year, and with the slogan Get your Goth on for one day... I cant help but wonder if any people who dont normally dress all in black and rock out t...
Way back in December, I received several requests for a tutorial for this hairstyle: This is quite possibly the simplest tutorial the world has ever seen; all you need is a few hairpins, a brush, and...
Its that time of year again, darklings - World Goth Day is almost upon us. :-D Unfortunately I have to work that day which crimps my plans a little, but Im intending to get all dolled up for the work...
Im sure you all know how this works by now. First, seven great posts that I found amidst the blogosphere this month: Lets start, as usual, with a post from Darling Violetta. This is actually an old p...
Is it just me or has fashion lately taken a turn for the alternative? Everywhere I go Im seeing girls with undershaves or hair dip-dyed bright colours, clad in ripped T-shirts, Doc Martens and a stro...
First painfully awkward vlog! Just a little thank you to Dani of ...Australian Goth for a lovely little prezzie that the postman brought this morning! (Yes, I used wayyy too much hairspray and yes, i...
It would be pointless for me to begin another debate on how important fashion is or is not within alternative subcultures; this is a topic on which everyone has a different opinion and mine is no mor...
Hello everyone; apologies for the unexpected hiatus, I decided it was time for an emergency internet diet. I havent even been on Facebook for the last fortnight, and by gawd it was good. I did, howev...
Wardrobe overhauls. As you know I havent been really sure where to go with my style so Ive just been buying things that I really like or which feel really me (if that makes any sense!) rather than th...
Eeek! I finally took the plunge today and had a section of my head shaved. I love it!!! I have some colleagues and elderly relatives who I dont think will be quite so keen, but... hell, Im really hap...
Hello again everyone. I recently read the following regarding my post about the Schwarze Szene: "One post actually managed to upset me and that was about the Schwarze Szene...apart from some shit...
Todays email request comes from a reader living in Greece, who explains their dilemmas thusly, "I have some questions about where to find goth clothes. I live in a country where goth is not ...
Hello everyone! Following some recent controversies and drama, I thought I would try to explain myself a little for everyones benefit and hopefully avoid repeating a few mistakes. I am re-capping a b...
The blogging community. I know I go on about this all the time but the friends Ive made here are so awesome, they are really lovely people and I wish we could all get together for a big crazy tea par...
Hey look, its one of these again! I actually still have a list of these posts to crack on with, but this is the one that has received several requests now, so here we go. Remember, guys, please dont ...
Todays reader question comes from a gentleman who asks, "When I first seen goth, I did not understand it. I have come to see my misperception of goth. The more I understand of it the more it appe...
Another email response; I am trying really hard not to make all my February email-ees wait absolutely forever for responses and I am thrilled that everyone is chipping in with some advice. The query ...
Before I begin this post proper, Id just like to share the news that I just spent a ridiculous amount of money on day tickets for Reading Festival in August because the headlining band on the Friday ...
Responses to emails! The sharp-eyed among you may have noticed that Ive taken down my email address from the sidebar - this is because I was getting deluged with so many emails that it was takin...
I have recently been asked how somebody can tell if they are a repressed Goth. Frankly, Id say that if youre starting to wonder whether or not you have some Gothy tendencies you probably do, otherwis...
Confidence. You guys probably noticed, what with my faffing around with blog titles and a sudden personal style crisis, that my self-confidence took a couple of hits earlier this year. I dont know wh...
32-year-old Gena Willenburg has dyed black hair and piercings, but does not identify as Goth. Mother to a six-year-old boy, she moved to Edinburgh, Scotland from her native Texas last year. Rece...
It is perfectly true that to a large proportion of the Goth population, individuality is important. There are, of course, plenty of alterna-teens and babygoths who set themselves apart from the mains...
