CUSTOMER RATINGS
To be fair, everyone else puts up with us running amok with joy come Halloween, and so it’s only reasonable that we put on our game faces and try not to glower all over everyone else’s Christmas. Unless you live in a special Goth colony (and if you do, feel free to send me the…
Dying your hair is pretty much a Goth rite of passage, and I suspect that very few of us have not tried, or at least considered, going crow black now and then, AMIRIGHT. Jealous. So-called unnatural colours such as deep black, blue, green, pink and what have you are in my opinion pretty awesome, but…
Tattoos are of course a very personal thing, and as they are becoming ever more popular among the general public and more acceptable by many employers who previously would have forbidden them, many Goths with a taste for the ink find themselves considering going under the needle. Whether you are considering your first tattoo or…
As I blogged for your delectation way back in July (sunshine? Remember that?) Goth is currently in fashion, and this is a source of much inner conflict for me. On the one hand, the fact that the likes of Vogue and Cosmopolitan are getting their Goth on is making me feel a bit scratchy, in…
If there is one thing I really do love to do, it’s pissing around with my hair. Despite my mother’s doom-laded warnings that my hair will all fall out by the time I was 20 if I kept on screwing with it, so far, it has managed to maintain its relationship to my head, despite…
It’s December, and yes, fuck that noise already. Shopping becomes something akin to The Hunger Games, everything is bright and glittery, and your nearest and dearest expect you to drop some serious dollar on random tat to show your lurveee for them on turkey day. However, on the plus side, the shops are now full…
I have the weirdest opinion on spiders, and I cannot reconcile my thoughts on them into any semblance of logic or sense. When I was a kid (ok, up until I was around 30) I was pants-shittingly terrified of the little bastards, and would literally pitch a fit if there was one in my home,…
Just about the only thing I like about the fact that Halloween is over for another year is the fact that the internet is now full of contenders for the dubious award of “worst Halloween costume 2014,” and man was the competition fierce this year. From the hilarious to the grossly inappropriate and everything in…
I loves me some makeup, and in fact my makeup collection is stupidly large and partially consists of shit I am never likely to use. I have to have every colour and variation of everything going, try everything new and over-hyped, and generally, spend money that could be better spent on essentials like fags and…
If you can string a sentence together and think you have something to say, then there is plenty of room out here on the internet for more good quality Goth bloggers. If there’s something you want to share with a bigger audience than your circle of friends, want your opinions to be heard, or just…
So the party is over, the pumpkins are rotting away in a rather disgusting yet interesting fashion, and pretty much all of the party-sized chocolates have been eaten. The shops and the internet both have suddenly started to lose their shit over Christmas, and the Goth look is once again the exception rather than the…
In a happy coincidence, Halloween this year falls on a Friday night, which means that even the nine to five suited and booted Goths should be more than ready to party on come the night itself. If you’re trying to work out where to go to celebrate the event, and have a few Gothy buds…
One thing I really love about Gothesville is the fact that the look itself can be so androgynous, and both men and women commonly experiment with makeup, kit and styling that crosses society’s perceived gender boundaries. Dark nail varnish is de rigeur for both him and her, and no one is going to mock the…
If October is not your very favourite month of the year, then clearly you’re doing the Goth thing all wrong, my friends. Being as we are now well into the month of Halloween (why make it just a day, AMIRIGHT people???) you’re going to be hearing a lot from me about fun and funky things…
Grrr… Arghhh… Yes, I have a rather all-encompassing fascination with zombies, and I loves me a good zombie book, TV show, film or PC game. I assume I’m not the only Goth in the village who feels the same way, and as I only have one lonely little friend in real life who shares my…
Reams and reams are written by and for Goths on this subject, and the responses range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and then some. However, as most of us segued into our Gothing naturally and probably, gradually, sometimes the reactions and responses that our transitioning garnered may appear somewhat muted. This is why I…
Halloween is fast approaching, and of course as Goths, we’re all supposed to turn into darkly gloating little balls of delight around the end of the month. I’m one of the biggest Halloween fans out there, and really, what’s not to like? Everyone else’s homes finally get decorated like mine for a week, there’s buttloads…
Following on from my recent piece on working a corset without cracking your ribs, some of my minions in Gothesville have asked for a little further information on picking the right type of corset for them, and the main differences between the various different types. Work it, gurl… There are pretty much hundreds of different…
Every Goth worth their eyeliner owns at least one pair of big-assed clunky boots, and provided that they fit well and are of good quality, should soon become your most comfortable pair of footwear, and last you for several years. I tend to get very attached to my shit-kickers, and only retire them once they…
There are two types of Goth girls in this world: Those who work the corset, and those with more sense. While I would like to say that I fall into the latter camp, I’m not going to lie to you, I do go round the block every now and then with the whole rib-breaker deal….
