Do you remember when you were in school, and it was de rigueur to come back off your summer holidays with a hair wrap, complete with beaded ends-whether your two weeks away was spend in Blackpool or Barbados? Well I got righteously carried away with this whole lark when it became self-evident that you can…
Minions! I bring tidings of sadness and joy, with this Very Important Announcement: This is Bat. As of two weeks ago, he is my cat. There will be more bad rhyming and that, so hold onto your hat. Some of you will already be familiar with my two previously-mentioned felines, Matilda and Marmite, both of…
Halloween is a good excuse to get creative with edible squashes, and it seems to have become perfectly socially acceptable to display your mangled food offerings with pride well into early December, to which I say “yay.” I strongly believe that every Goth should carve themselves a something, even if that doesn’t involve a fully-blown…
Halloween, yay! Start of winter, boo! Despite my preference for black clothes and lots of layers, I am not a massive fan of winter. As soon as it starts to get cold, I pretty much go into hibernation for the duration, and bemoan the rain/cold/slush at every opportunity. Stripy Tights and Dark Delights is not…
Welcome, minions, to my round-up of the best blog posts and new finds from the Goth Wide Web in the last month or so. First of all, to update my own past posts: I still haven’t recoloured my hair, nor, as a result, had a go with my eyebrows either. Sorry! Relationship status: Two cats….
Welcome once more to my at-a-glance guide to the latest happenings from across the Goth Wide Web, bringing you the most recent news and updates from Gothsville for October 2015. Buzzfeed gets people to try Goth for a week The life of a Buzzfeed video reporter/star has to be something that even the lowest level…
It’s Halloween! I see no reason why we can’t treat it like Goth Christmas and turn it into a month-long celebration, so you’d better believe my Halloween posts aren’t going to stop the day after the 31st. In this post, I thought I’d find out a bit more about Halloween around the world-and I don’t…
Anyone of a Gothy persuasion who can drive the internet without L-plates will know that the recently published results of a study into Goth and its correlation with depression in teenagers is the current hot potato on the Goth Wide Web. The study was undertaken by researchers at the University of Oxford and partner institutes,…
It’s October, bitches! And that means one thing-Halloween! Finally, Goth Christmas is nearly here, so now is the time to start planning your giant party, ultimate club night or coach trip to the graveyard of your dreams. But first of all, make sure you’re dressed to impress; Sorry, my friends, but just going as a…
I am no fan of Hallmark Holidays (bullshit inventions by the greeting cards companies to try to part you from your hard-earned cash) but there is one annual event that doesn’t usually involve giving gifts, but to my mind, totally should. This is of course Halloween, which to me, is the perfect excuse for Goths…
As y’all will know by now, I am a proper makeup/skincare junkie, and am always looking for new and exciting things on which to waste my money. Jezebel writer Brandi Morgan Kirchgessner runs a monthly feature in which she reviews the latest beauty box releases each month, and having read these avidly since May, I…
I wish my teeth looked like that. Secret reveal: They don’t. I have healthy teeth that are all reasonably even and fairly inoffensive, and I have never had a filling in my life-I have no idea how, as my father has teeth like a camel, but on the plus side, at least they are still…
Welcome minions, to my collation of the best of the Goth internet from the last month or so, featuring some of the best blog posts from other Gothy folk, new blogs I’ve just found, and more. Let’s get started. The Blogging Goth on the Goth teenagers/depression study First up is this offering from The Blogging…
I have something of a love/hate relationship with Buzzfeed, it is true. On the one hand their approach to viral content and attempts to make some of the world’s biggest bullshit into such does my head in, as does their jarring approach of having things like “ten of the most important kittens ever” lists lying…
Behold, minions, my quick-and-dirty roundup of all of the latest Goth news and headlines from the last few weeks, condensed into one simple blog post for your delectation. Listening to depressing music good for mental health, says Guardian The Guardian published this article a couple of weeks ago, telling the world that listening to depressing…
Earlier on this year, I wrote up a blog post on how to do your eyebrows, which contained a hefty tip of my hat to the current trend for thick, full brows, which I have been fighting with for some time due to many previous years of plucking them to within an inch of their…
One thing that makes me particularly proud to be a part of the Goth community is the fact that Goth folk as a whole are very accepting of all-comers, and are, in my opinion, much less likely to be judgmental or “phobic” (I really hate the use of the word “phobic,” in cases when what…
After eventually flogging my elderly and dearly beloved Blackberry to death earlier this year, I finally caved to the cult of the Smartphone when it came to replacing it. This wasn’t my first ride on the touch screen rodeo, as I actually tried a Smartphone back in 2011, and hated the bloody thing. I found…
Cast your mind back through the annals of time to the June/July of 2014, and you might recall the whole shitshow that blew up all of a sudden over Creepypasta and Slender Man, in the wake of two then-twelve year old girls (allegedly) stabbing their similarly-aged “friend” nineteen times, later stating that they did this…
As you may have noticed from my previous photographic offerings, I am no svelte size eight fairy, and I am by no means the only fat Goth in the village. I take a dress size 20-22, and I have noticed that within, say, the last five years or so, clothing options in general for plus…
