Speaking of vampire movies, what are your thoughts on “The Hunger”? I’ve been curious.

What are my thoughts on “The Hunger”? Ahahahaha!

1. It has THE BEST opening scenes for a vampire movie (hell, for just about any movie) ever. EVER. Bauhaus performing “Bela Lugosi’s Dead!” Peter Murphy in a cage! David Bowie as a vampire!
2. It gave us an iconic piece of Goth/vampire jewelry: the bladed ankh pendant.
3. …. um? Okay, look, I admit that I am the Token Heterosexual Friend for a lot of my companions (yes, I know, I’m defective. My only interest in pretty ladies is to dress them up), so huge parts of “The Hunger” are wasted on me, because I go “Eh? Can I have her apartment?”, not “Whooo, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve together! Hot damn!” In fact, my default way of watching “The Hunger” is to watch the opening 10 minutes over and over.
4. DID I MENTION THE OPENING SCENES?

So yes, go watch it. It’s a classic of the genre for many reasons. And if you find a bladed ankh pendant that ISN’T the Alchemy Gothic “ankh of the dead”, just send that to your Auntie Jilli, okay? (I have the Alchemy Gothic one already.)

Your Auntie Jilli called in sick to work, and is flopped on the couch in her skelly pjs, with a heating pad on her abdomen. Ah, the joys of womanhood. 

But the RealHusband gave me an early birthday present, so I will while away a few hours watching the Tim Burton Dark Shadows movie. More silly vampires, yaaaay!

Oh, she’s lovely. Someday one of Madame Talbot’s fetal skull mourning dolls will be mine.

This is a real human fetal skull mourning doll.

Also this is a good time to remind everyone that I am an Unfollow-Friendly-Blog, I think that tumblr should be a positive experience for everybody and if I am making it a negative experience for you even if we’re ~*mutual follow*~ or friends then you are by NO means obligated to stay.

I don’t even have an unfollower tracker.

How am I missing issue 36 of Gothic Beauty? Issues 1 and 4, sure, I can understand how I missed those. But 36? I would have sworn I had purchased that one. (The current issue is 37.)

puddingcannonstudios said: “You fear to go into those rooms. Auntie Jilli delved too greedily and too deep. You know what she awoke in the darkness of Closet-doom…lace and taffeta.”

BWAHAHAHAHAH! And considering the StuntHusband is a huge Tolkien geek, it’s even funnier. 

(NO, STUNTHUSBAND AND REALHUSBAND, I DO NOT NEED TO ASSEMBLE A FELLOWSHIP TO ORGANIZE THE STORAGE ROOM … wait, what am I saying? Maybe I do. Who knows, maybe there’s a ring of power hiding in there! I CALL DIBS.) 

Because your Auntie Jilli is about to go exploring in the Storage Heap Room o’ Doom. I’m missing at least a box of my gothy-goth magazine collection, because I KNOW I have more issues of Propaganda than are in the magazine cabinet. Not to mention issues of Meltdown and Vampyre, and all the German magazines Marc17 gave me. (I can’t read a word of them, but they’re full of lovely eye candy.)

So if you don’t hear from me again (other than my queue auto-posting), I’ve been devoured by fabric and spare petticoats.
