Leading Up

I'm now on my xmas holiday from work. We get a week off and return on the 2nd of January. I don't have any plans, but I'm getting a new video game for christmas so I'll be playing that. I did my christmas shopping online this year, so I'm all set. I'm spending christmas and boxing day with my parents, wish me luck!! (I'm bringing a cross-stitch so I won't get too bored)

It's going to be 40 degrees celsius on christmas. Kill me now.

I worked Saturday and Sunday at the Rooftop Movies. They were showing christmas films.



 

SATURDAY 22nd Dec

Movie: Love Actually

Dress: Asos

Belt: Torrid

Tights: We Love Colors

Boots: Dr. Martens

 

I received this bling skull from my Granny for my birthday :)

 

SUNDAY 23rd Dec

Movie: It's A Wonderful Life

Ignore the toilet in the background (classy). The lighting in the toilets always makes my belly look big!

I did popcorn duty at the movies, then went downstairs to DJ and dance at The Loft. The movies are on the carpark next to The Loft, very convenient. I hope that I didn't scare too many people with my look at the movies! There were a lot of children!!!

 

Shirt: New Look

Skirt: Lady Bryant

Tights: We Love Colors

Winklepickers: Underground Shoes

 

MONDAY 24th Dec

Movie: Muppet's Christmas Carol

I wasn't there to work, I actually went to see the film with my sister. Kirsty hasn't been to the Rooftop Movies, so I enjoyed showing her around. We used to watch Muppet's Christmas Carol when we were children. I LOVE the Muppets.

Sadly there was technical difficulties and the movie was cancelled! :(

 

Top: Supre

Skirt: ? Ebay

Tights: New Look

Winklepickers: Underground Shoes

 

Best wished to everyone for the holiday season!

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
Primary by The Cure
Digital by Joy Division
Just Like Heaven by The Cure
Let's Go To Bed by The Cure
I Ran (So Far Away) by Flock of Seagulls
Lovecats by The Cure

Trinity

Look what's coming to The Loft!

Guess who get to DJ? YAAAAY! The Loft has been on a bit of a break. Each Sunday there has been live music instead. I'm not a live music type of girl, all of my favourite tunes are long gone. That's why we need nights like The Loft. I get to play The Cure set, but I'm excited about dancing to the others! I haven't danced to New Order and Depeche Mode in ages.

This in coming in December. I will be DJing, along with a bunch of other great DJs. If you're in Perth I would love to see you there. It'll probably be lots of hard music, Industrial and EBM. I'll be playing some soft stuff, to shake it up a bit. I need to figure out what to wear, I own nothing military!

Also, dear readers, please visit the blog Deus Ex Machina. The writer, Nebel Violet, is really beautiful and her outfits are wonderful (plus she lives in Israel, it must be hard being Goth there). I think she needs a few more readers!

A Week Behind

I had a pretty busy weekend, last weekend. Yes, I'm a week behind in my blogging. What can I say? I'm lazy :P

On Satuday 23rd I went to see A Royal Affair with my friend Merissa. The film is about the Danish royal family in the 18th Century. I love historical movies, and Merissa and me always go to see them together. The cinema was packed with what Merissa calls the 'Blue Rinse Brigade', all the old ladies going to see the film. Me and Merissa were the youngest there :P
The film was great! Costumes and settings were lovely. I would totally go and watch it again.

I wore:

Sisters of Mercy Shirt: Ebay

Skirt: Big W

Tights: Kmart

Winklepickers: Demonia (the heel fell off, again! I might write and angry letter to demonia)

Cotton biker jacket: Ebay (studded by myself!)

Later that night I went to a 'reunion' type of night that was for all the older alternative types to get together. That didn't stop me going! I was a bit over-dressed though, but I guess it's better to be over-dressed intead of under-dressed.

A irish guy complemented me on my hawk. He then asked me what type of music I'd like to have played, I quickly searched my brain for a really obsure goth band :P

"definatly Danse Society" I said, sipping my lemonade.

Check out my cute bat hairclip. I got it from etsy!

Please excuse creepy glowing eyes.

Specimen shirt: From their gig I saw in London 2010

Corset: ebay

Epic belt: ebay

Skirt: Yours Clothing

Winklepickers: Demonia

The next day I walked to a retro/vintage market that was being held in the next suburb. I underestimated how long it would take to walk there, so it took an hour both ways. Well, at least I like walking! :P

I bought two records, Bowie and Adam Ant. I'm trying to start to collect records, I've always loved records but I've never been in the position to buy any. Sadly all of my favourite bands are really hard to find, I'm not going to find a Red Lorry Yellow Lorry album easily!! I think that's where the internet comes in. If you have old goth records you don't want, give me a yell. I'll buy some! :)

On Sunday evening I headed off to The Loft. It was their 2nd birthday celebration, sadly I didn't get to DJ :(

I left my hawk up from the night before, too much effort to wash it out and put it back up again.

I wore a super cute dress that I got at City Chic on sale. The dress is really ugly and square on the hanger, but it looks curvy and brilliant when I wear it.

I had to wear my other demonia winklepickers because my favourite ones broke again :(

Again, sorry for any spelling mistakes. Spell check isn't working again, damn Blogger.

Sad news, I won't be able to DJ for a while. The Loft isn't running weekly, and The Crypt has to find a new venue. I'm really sad, as I love to play music and make people dance.









Another Day, Another Loft

Sunday, May 20th 2012- I really enjoy ending my week with going to The Loft on Sundays. It's a chance to get dressed up and listen to good music (although lack of cute boys to look at)

I wore:

Lace undershirt: gift from ex-friend

Lace top: New Look

Skirt: Target

Leggings: Target

Winklepickers: Demonia

Ignore the high contrast, I'm trying to show you how awesome this lace top it. It looks great! I'm sad that I don't have more chances to wear it.

I bought these awesome 80s style earrings while in Sydney. They're a shiney dark metal, and they go great with my outfit

Loft Outfit, 6th May 2012

What I wore:

Cotton biker jacker: Deranged Designs

Shirt: Seibei

Skirt: Big W

Tights: Kmart

Winklepickers: Demonia

I've always wanted a biker jacket, but sadly I don't suit leather. I just look so much larger when I wear a leather jacket. I was so happy when I found a cotton version on Angry, Young & Poor. They didn't have the size XL in stock, so I bought it from Deranged Designs instead ($70). I was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit me, when it arrived I was so glad that it fit like my other cotton jacket :)

The next step is for me to sew my patches on it, and I really want to stud it too. I just have to figure out where to put the studs :)

I'm wearing my amazing "I'm Fat Let's Party" shirt from Seibei. The only thing I dislike about this shirt is the yellow writing, but it could be worse.

Blue lip balm from Morgana Cryptoria

So Much Dancing

I went to The Loft last Sunday (the 8th). I was looking forward to dancing heaps, and The Loft never disappoints. It was also a long weekend, so I got to sleep in Monday morning :)

The Loft is held at Geisha Bar in Perth, they usually have house music on the long weekend. My boss decided to let The Loft crew to have a chance. It was packed! There were a lot of normal people though, so I'm guessing lots of people were expecting house music (yuck). Instead there was awesome music.

I really dislike sharing the dance floor with normal people sometimes. They don't know about dancing space, I need room to dance! Some people just stood on the dance floor talking (get out of the damn way!). Then I got laughed at by some random chicks, my dancing style is 80s, but I'm not bad. I guess they're not used to a fat chick dancing brilliantly, I love dancing so they can bugger off. Then a dude kept trying to grab my hand and put his arm around my shoulder, I kept telling him to back off. Then he got kicked out (haha)

Dress: City Chic

Belt: Torrid

Winklepicker boots: Demonia

I really love this dress, it's so 80s and cute! It has the right amount of sleeve that helps me hide most of my flabby arms. It has two ruffles on the skirt, great for twirling.

The only thing I don't like is how low cut it is. I have to safety pin the dress to my bra, or my boobs will show :-/

Maybe I just don't have big enough boobs for this type of dress.

I put my hair into a messy backcomb. I really couldn't be bothered putting it into a hawk. It was kind of pushed over to one side and messy. I thankfully put enough hairspray in so it didn't deflate.

 I also LOVE wearing red lipstick. I just can't get over the whole green+red=Christmas thing.

The Weekend That Was...

This post took ages, due to Blogger telling me that I had gone over my photo limit :(

I had a very busy weekend. First off, I DJed at Club Unknown.

Fishnet top: Made from tights

Black singlet

Corset: Ebay

Skirt: Yours Clothing

Epic Belt: Ebay

Shoes: Demonia

On Sunday night we had a David Bowie tribute night at the Loft. I was so lucky to DJ, I love Bowie :)

Top: Hot Topic, gift from friend (this was a womens XL so I had to cut it up)

Skirt: Target

Boots: Demonia

Check out all the glitter!! Everyone loved my lips, and lots of girls asked where I got my lipstick from. It's not lipstick! :)

I just used eyelash glue on my lips and stuck on hologram glitter.

I kept my hair up from the night before.

Yay for Bowie!

Dinner With The Loft Crew

Last Thursday my boss from The Loft took all the DJs out for dinner. We were originally going to go to a Mexican place, but they had a hour waiting time. Instead we went to this really cute Japanese place. It was very traditional, we had to take off our shoes and sit at a low table.

My boss ordered heaps of entrees, they had the raw thinly sliced beef that was interesting to try (yummy too!). I had katsu pork for my main, it came stuffed with cheese.

My boss ordered a $150 lobster for himself!

It was great to be able to talk to my fellow DJs without having to yell over loud music like at the club. Everyone was so nice and we had lots to talk about. Afterwards we had drinks (I had a mocktail) and went to karaoke! I didn't sing anything, but I would have liked to sing Planet Earth by Duran Duran (the only decent song on the list).

I wore my crushed velvet shirt that I haven't worn in ages. I've had it since I was in high school. It's a bit difficult to wear because it's too hot in summer and too cold in winter. It gets hot when I dance in it too. So it's one of those things that I have to find the right occasion to wear. It's strange because I also feel frumpy while wearing the top.

I layered my square handkerchief lace skirt over my circle skirt.

Crushed velvet top: Kmart

Belt: Torrid

Lace skirt: Chain Reaction

Circle skirt: Evans

Tights: We Love Colors

Boots: Demonia

In other news: I got the other side of my nose repierced. My nose is a strange shape, so my piercer had to do it three times! :(

She also changed my ear jewelry around, as they weren't healing properly (I went to a backyard piercing to get them done, naughty me). If you live in Perth and want great piercings see Jenette at Exotic Body Piercing.

Great Hair

Lack of outfit posts due to 40 degree weather.

Here I am with awesome hair.
Shirt: limited edition from a club I used to go to.
Skirt: City Chic
Boots: Demonia

The Start Of Terrible Summer

I DJed at The Loft last Sunday. Here is what I wore:

I helped my little sister put up the xmas tree. It's been really really hot recently, so I wore a nice dress. It seriously didn't get below 20 degrees at night :(

Dress: City Chic
Belt: Torrid
Leggings: Target
Winklepickers: Demonia

I also recently got some colour added to my librarian tattoo. I still have a bit to go!

 I got a new nail polish which I recommend. Midnight Affair by Revlon. It's a deep blue/black, it's great if you get tired of wearing black polish all the time (like I do). I need to find a nice emerald green now.

This is with flash.

Without flash

Birthday Bits

I started my sleeve tattoo last Wednesday! I got it done by Josh at Foothills Tattoo. He has done a lot of work on my friend, and I love his art.

The tattoo studio is next to this salon, which reminds me of Earth Girls Are Easy (one of my favourite films)

Behold my fat arm!! Josh drew the design himself. I told him I wanted a sexy librarian with lots of books!
Right now my tattoo is good, but it's in the itchy stage.

I got two cards for my birthday at work! It was so nice! They also bought me a bunch of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (which are not available widely in Australia). I put them in the skull next to the telephone.

 That night my close friends too me out to Sizzler which is ALL YOU CAN EAT! Let me just say, I was glad I was wearing my fat dress :P
This is me and Holly doing our best "Let's eat everything in the damn place because we're fat" faces.

And my other friend made me cupcakes! Awwww...

 This was from last weekend (13th Nov) after I DJed at The Loft. I got a new dress from Yours Clothing. The first one I sent for actually didn't arrive (lost in the mail?) I contacted Yours and they were great about sending a free replacement.
