It's a nice day for a Goth wedding

Today I was invited to the wedding of two of my friends. The weather was sunny, which was a relief as it has been threatening thunderstorms and rain all week. The ceremony was held in Queens Gardens in Perth, and the reception was at a pub. The whole day was very lovely, and it's so good to see such a happy couple. I also got to see some acquaintances that I regularly see out clubbing, it's so strange to see them in the day time ;-)

I wore a new dress I purchased from City Chic especially for the occasion. It's titled Fleetwood Maxi Dress, and you can see from how flowy it is that it's Stevie Nicks inspired. I would really like to dance in this dress in the future, I'll probably wear it to my next club event.

I tied the dress together with:

Belt: Torrid

Tights: We Love Colors

Winklepickers: Pennangalan

In my hair I wore a combination of flower clips I found. The bat necklace is from ebay.

I'm a bit annoyed because I wanted to wear a different lipstick but I couldn't find it! I had to make do with an old one.

I finally also got to wear these fantastic earrings that I was saving for a special occasion. They have different colours shimmering through, mainly green.

Wishing To Hide

There were many benefits to working at Fringe World. They invited all of the workers for a free dinner at Devilles Pad. Who can pass up a free dinner?
Thursday night at Devilles is karaoke night, and of course I sang Bowie. I did Let's Dance this time.
Initially I was a bit anxious to go. I don't enjoy being around people sometimes, even if I'm with friends. Lately I've been wanting to stay at home and hide away.

What's with this pose I'm pulling? I also have a new bag from Kreepsville.

Dress: City Chic

Belt: City Chic

The thing I wear most seems to be my tights from We Love Colors. Mainly because these are long lasting plus sized tights that don't get ladders in them.

 

Here is a bonus photo of me with giant teeth on my head!

 

And the sunset from the Rooftop Movies in Perth

 

The Loft: Trinity

Last Sunday The Loft was on again! It's been a while since it has run, and I've really missed being able to DJ and go for a dance. The Loft will be running monthly now, but it's better than nothing.
This time was a special Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode night. I got to play mostly Cure songs, I only had a half hour set but I fit in five songs.

Here is what I wore:

Net shirt thing: New Look

Skirt: Big W

Belt: Torrid? I can't remember

Ripped tights: various

Winklepickers: Pennangalan

 

I'm wearing my lovely Pennangalan winklepickers. They're finally back from the cobbler, who put a new sole on them. Very comfy and easy to dance in.

 

My hair is faded and needs another dye.

 

Here I am with my beautiful friend Merissa

Here is my setlist:
The Walk by The Cure
Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Logic by Sisters of Mercy

Pennangalan Dawn Winklepicker Boots Review

A long time ago when I was a baby bat I would WISH for Pennangalan winklepicker boots. I didn't think that I would ever make enough money, or own a credit card.

Luckily Pennagalan boots aren't expensive and they take Paypal. It cost me under $100 AUD for these boots, including postage.

When I took out my Dawn winklepickers I loved how shiney they were. I chose the black patent leather, but there are many options available including black leather, synthetic leather, purple glitter, white patent leather, pink patent leather. SO MANY OPTIONS!

Dawn winklepickers are pointy, I can't wait to get these on and stare at my toes all day. The zip was a bit stiff, but I put some wax along it. I ordered a size up, as the website suggests. I'm a size 10 mens, so I ordered a size 11 mens. They fit perfect! They even zipped all the way up, which is a surprise considering my fat ankles.

There are also different versions with bat, coffin, pentagram or western buckles.

The customer service was great. I basically put through my order, and waited for my shoes to be made. The website warns that shoes might not be in stock and they have to wait for certain items. I think it took around a month for me to get my shoes, which I didn't mind.

I got an email from a representative, and I asked him about my shoe sizing. He was very helpful. After my shoes were made I got invoiced via PayPal, which I paid straight away.

I don't know why they make winklepicker soles smooth! I had to take them to a cobbler, and it's costing me an extra $65 AUD to get soles put on.

Overall, these are brilliant boots. I'll definitely be buying from Pennangalan again. I'll probably get some bat buckles next time. The quality is good, and so is the price.

The only con, for me, would be the long waiting time and having to pay extra to get soles at my cobbler.
