Gothic Charm School: pretty things

Before I vanish into the depths of work, here, a photo of Dave Vanian and a swooning creature of the night.

Hel-LO pretty.

[Three iterations of Dave Vanian]

I think they should start making shirts with Mr. Vanian’s face on them.

So @habualtin , lucky thing, saw The Damned last night, and linked me to pictures from the front row! Thank you, dearheart! The full set is here.

See? Fangs!

We all just need to take a moment and bask in the gothy adorableness of this photo: Dave and Laurie Vanian, with a black cat. 1979.

Of course, seeing images like this after seeing the .gifset from the Horrible Histories Lord Byron installment makes me laugh even MORE. But I won’t lie, I’d still like for time and space to arrange this version of Mr. Vanian to appear next to me with tea, cupcakes, and absinthe, tho’.

Another lovely image from Andy Rosen’s 1979 photoshoot with the superbly photogenic young Mr. Vanian.

This picture does nothing to quell my amused certainty that Dave Vanian IS a vampire.
