Spring is just around the corner, which is frankly terrifying me because it means that I’m going to have to face up to shaving my legs after my winter hibernation. In order to ease the pain a little, I’ve decided to use the impending warmer weather to pick out some of my favourite spring looks…
Welcome, minions, to my monthly roundup of the latest news and views from other blogging Goths, condensed into short form and collated for your reading pleasure. CorpGoth celebrates all things British CorpGoth is a pretty sweet blog for pictures, ideas and inspiration on how to work your Goth style within an office environment, and the…
I’ve had a pretty good month on the swag front between February and March, having hunted down several new purchases that have pleased me greatly and that I am evangelising about across the internet far and wide. So because you are all very, very precious to me, I have decided to share my recent favourite…
Considering how much time Goths generally spend wandering around graveyards and being all Queen of the Night about things, you might think we’d be better prepared for funerals than the average Joe. However, when it comes to me, you’d be wrong-I got to my 33rd year of life without ever having been to a funeral,…
Board games seem to have undergone something of a resurgence of recent years-no longer the preserve of boring weekends away with your parents in a caravan in the pissing rain, board games are now serious business for those who are not overly enamoured of adulting in an orderly fashion, but who are still rebel enough…
Few Goths never wear makeup, and in my experience most of us wear something on the regular, be that a metric fucktonne of black eyeliner, dark lipstick, full whiteface, or all of the above and more. I tend to go for a dark eye or lip and a bit of powder on my naturally pasty…
Is your hair dyed black? Of course it is. Or possibly, some other dark or bright unnatural colour too, and you will also no doubt know that dying your hair an odd colour is a pain in the ass to do and apt to wash out, grow out, fade, and generally do its damndest to…
Behold, my semi-regular roundup of the latest news, articles and media pertaining to Goths, the Gothic lifestyle and all things of interest to my fellow children of the night. ITV explores London’s Gothic past ITV bod Martin Stew and historian Colin Fenn are strolling around “underground London” in the channel’s series of reports that launched…
Earlier on this month I finally made the time to go and visit The Wellcome Collection in London, which I have walked past hundreds of times, being located as it is between Euston Square tube and Euston mainline station. Billed as “the free destination for the incurably curious,” The Wellcome Library is basically a museum…
While we’re only just on the edge of March, it seems clear to me thanks to my google alerts crystal ball that 2016 is set to be the year of really bold hair, and stylists and amateurs alike all over the country are really going for it when it comes to trying out new things…
One thing that any Goth who can steer the internet or that enjoys the odd wander through Boots will no doubt know is that there is no shortage of different makeup brands peddling their wares at every turn, and the sheer number of ranges and shades available these days are, if anything, almost too prolific…
February is drawing to a close with some unseasonably warm weather, interspersed of course with bouts of sub-zero nights and torrential rain. But the good news is that spring is just around the corner, and feels so close that I am almost ready to face the trauma of removing my winter coat-by which I mean…
Anyone who likes awesome nail polish, rocks blue shades or simply wants to have a top selection of unusual and beautiful Goth-friendly staples will already have heard of Essie’s Starry Starry Night (SSN to nail polish aficionados), an almost indescribable deep translucent blue with golden star-like glitter in it. However, Essie stopped selling this colour…
Luigi is a goth musician, writer and artist based in Chicago. We spoke to him about being a gay Latino in Chicago, his time as a music writer in Mexico and owning your own dark side. Tell us a bit about your background Well, I’m a Chicago native. I’m a queer Latino. I’m a pisces and…
It always comes as a surprise to me when I find out about something well known, established and Gothy that I was previously unaware of, but even more so when I find out that it applies to me. My personal style is a kind of Goth/Hippy fusion with a hefty side of witch, which is…
Oh hi, guys at Evil Supply Co. Fancy sending me a box of your stuff for free? Go on, you want to! Anyway, for the rest of you: So, there’s this thing in America where you basically subscribe to this Mr. Ghost parcel thing from the Evil Supply Co., and every month, they send you…
It’s nearly February already and time is stomping on in the world of the Goth blogosphere, so here’s my roundup of the latest posts from other Goth bloggers from January 2016. The Blogging Goth’s tribute to David Bowie Goths and pretty much everyone else too will have been pretty shocked by the recent news of…
Pretty much everyone in the UK must know about Lush Cosmetics, and it’s generally one of those love/hate things: you either spend all of your monies in there, or can’t even stand the smell of the place and give it a generally wide berth. Their products, ingredients and philosophies all appeal to me personally, and…
It seems that straight hair is by far the norm in the Goth world in general, but I suppose this is also reflected in the general population these days too. When I was in school in the early 90’s, it seemed like every other girl in my class had a poodle perm, but those born…
It’s February, minions, and that means Valentine’s Day is fast approaching us, with all of the surrounding dog and pony show that it entails. I am the happiest spinster you ever could meet, so this doesn’t really affect me, other than that my local café/bar where I spend a good proportion of my time is…
