Okay peeps, help your Auntie Jilli out: is this magazine/book available in the US, or do I need to special-order it? The Cure and The Story of the Alternative 80s (2012)
The Damned section from The Cure and The Story of the Alternative 80s (2012)

Now THIS is a cake. More pics at source, including a shot of the “Chat Noir” cat, which is on the other side of the cake.
Beautiful work. I love the tangled thorny vines and the little moon over the castle.
Hey Jillian, they made a cake for you!
Oh my. That is so detailed and gorgeous!
We saw ParaNorman last night. GO SEE IT. It is delightful! The animation is gorgeous, and it’s well-written. It’s not just a “aww, kinda-spooky kids’ comedy”, but a genuinely clever film.

THERE IS A BACKSTREET BOYS T-SHIRT TAGGED WITH A GOTH KEYWORD. AND A LIGHT-BLUE “MOLSEN’S BEER” T-SHIRT.
THAT’S IT, I AM TURNING THIS INTERNET AROUND AND WE ARE GOING HOME. YOU ARE GROUNDED AND NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE.
We really do. Because I just found a listing with a title and keywords including “80s 90s Goth / Steampunk / Grunge / Rockabilly/ Floral / Plaid”, which I think means I would win Etsy bingo. I shudder to think what the prize might be.
Look! The “Problems only Goths have” thread from alt.gothic is still going strong! It’s nice to see this list pop up in various places.
* Trying to get blacks that match after they fade in the wash
* Trying to convince the drunk frat boy who is hitting on you that really are a guy.
* Big hair, small cars
* Airport metal detectors
* Having your little sister play with your make-up
* Nicknames such as “that gay devil…
I love this photo manipulation more than I can possibly express with words OR flaily hand gestures.
Heeheehee… I found the image I edited. David Bowie as a vampire. Yesssssss. The teeth came from a picture of Don Henrie. He’s hot, btw. Look him up. Seriously.
Just because…damn…
:flaily hands of glee: Do I even have to explain the ‘WHY’ of this?
Oh. My. G-D. Xenomorph high heels. I … I kinda want them. I wouldn’t be able to walk in them, but I absolutely could sit around and look decorative while wearing them. Except for the tiny issue that the facehuggers still kind of freak me out, and I don’t know if wearing a few of them on my feet would make me feel less afraid, or if it would make me need to check my feet every few minutes to make sure they hadn’t come to life and were skittering toward me. My irrational phobias, let me show you them.
i morphed patricia morrison and siouxsie sioux oh my god
LOOK UPON THE FACE OF THE ONE TRUE GODDESS AND TREMBLE, MORTAL
I feel like I should be building an altar with this as the centerpiece.

Wait, wait, what is this from? Is this implying that she should be The Doctor? I AGREE WITH THIS IDEA.
(StuntHusband! DOWAGER DOCTOR WHO! We’ll fight over which one of us gets to be her companion later.)

One, I am immensely flattered. Two, I think it’s adorable! Three, I want the weather to cool down so I can dress like this again.
goblinkinginthetardis said: One more year. I’m putting this on my ‘must try’ list. As a side note, any brands of absinthe that you would reccomend?
Absente is an okay “starter” absinthe, and is easy to find at most places that sell alcohol. But I vastly prefer Pacifique or St. George. My favorite is Mata Hari, but I’ve had a devil of a time tracking down anyone locally that carries it.

With apologies to my not-of-drinking-age readers, the “Mud Puddle” chocolate vodka (bittersweet chocolate!) from New Deal Distillery is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Oh, I bet it would be fabulous with ginger beer.
We were kind of hoping that NASA’s Curiosity rover would have sent this back as its first picture from Mars.
