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.

Liebster Award

I got tagged for the Liebster Award by V. I really enjoy doing these things, but I can never think of who to tag!

The rules:

• Each person must post 11 things about themselves
• Answer the question the tagger has set for you
• Ceate 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer
• Choose 11 people and link them in your post
• Go to their page and tell them
• No tag backs (eh, this is inevitable)

11 things about me:

1. I can crochet (granny blankets), knit (only scarves) and cross-stitch.
2. I used to grow my nails into long pointy talons. I stopped after getting creepy nail fetish people contact me. I still grow my nails pointy, but not as long.
3. I don't drink, do drugs, or smoke (but you already knew that). I never have, and I never will. This isn't due to any reason apart from my own choice (ever since I was a kid)
4. I don't talk to my mother. I haven't seen her in around four years.
5. I've never been on a date before. I'm the virgin amongst my group of friends, and I've never been kissed *woe* :P
6. I enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan, my favourite operetta is Pirates of Penzance.
7. Back in primary school I used to hate reading because it was too 'popular'. I love reading now. I also find it funny that I was against anything popular or normal even when I was a kid.
8. I really enjoy angry girl 90s punk. Bikini Kill etc. I would totally be a punk if I didn't dislike colour so much.
9. I didn't know what I wanted to do as my career in high school. I decided on library studies because it seemed to fit me (plus there are no good jobs in art). I was the first person on my dads side of the family to finish TAFE and get a diploma. I paid my own way through college.
10. I haven't got my drivers licence yet. Public transport is alway close to where I am.
11. Well, I haven't told anyone this yet. So why not tell the world? I've been recently diagnosed with depression, I'm a bit scared about this.

Questions I was asked:

1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
   Probaly America. I've already been to the UK, I would love to visit all my blogger friends in America. I'd also like to go to Europe, but I'm worried about the language barrier (hopefully next year)
2. What's your favourite drink, alcoholic or not?
   I don't drink alcohol, and never will. My favourite drink is a chocolate milkshake. Yum
3. Do you have any pets?
   No, I live by myself in a small apartment. I don't think I'm ready to look after a pet. My last pet was my childhood dog, who died when she was 18. I really miss her, I didn't cry when she died.
4. Favourite colour?
   Black. I just love it, I was never a fan of any specific colour when I was a kid.
5. Favourite Gothy movie?
   Gypsy 83. I will have to review this movie for my blog, because it's pretty good/hilarious
6. Favourite flower?
   Lavender. They also smell pretty!
7. What is your personal/favourite style e.g. Rockabilly, cyper, Romantic etc?
   Definatly Traditional Goth, nothing else seems to fit me. I love the music, the fashion, plus no one else is trad goth in Perth.
8. Do you collect anything?
   No, I guess I kinda collect ironic goth things. Like skulls and bats, but that's just part of who I am.
9. Do you like sports?
   No, the only sport I like watching is roller derby. Otherwise, I can't stand sports.
10. Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
    Oh, yes. I have a total of 33 piercings. I have 6 tattoos, and I will be getting more :)
11. What is your current hair colour?
    Green. I don't think I'll be changing from green. I think it's the best for my complexion, plus no one has green hair! Everyone usualy goes for red, purple, blue, pink. I think if I went any other colour it would be blue. I'll stick with green. I also like black, but it really makes me look sickly.

Questions to answer:

1. Have you ever been star stuck by a celebrity?
2. What is your favourite hairstyle?
3. Which time period is your favourite?
4. Graveyards. Fun or not?
5. Who is your role model and why?
6. If you could meet anybody from history, who would it be?
7. Do you classify yourself as a feminist?
8. What is your favourite feature about yourself?
9. What is your most embarrassing moment?
10. What icecream flavour is your favourite?
11. What is your favourite piece of clothing?
12. What is your religion, or what do you believe in. I know this is 12 questions, but I'm interesting in knowning the answer. If you don't want to tell me, that's totally fine. I'm an athiest, if you'd like to know. I'm also a skeptic.

Perth Alternative Markets

Last Sunday my friend, Merissa, ran the first Perth Alternative Markets. I was there to help. She did such a great job, and hopefully she'll continue to run the market every month or so. My other friends had stalls. Haze and her girlfriend Kylie were selling pillows that Haze makes. My other two friends were selling old clothes. I was suppose to DJ along with Merissa, but the venue is having trouble with licencing. We just played our cds through their music system instead.

There is Haze and Kylie!

I made/sold brownies. I got rid of some of my clothes too :)

I'm looking fab wearing:

Jacket: Ebay, customised myself

Shirt: New Look

Skirt: Second hand, Le Professeur Gothique

Belt: Yours Clothing

Tights: We Love Colors

Boots: Dr.Martens

Perth Megamouth

Take a look at this awesome video about moving the Perth Megamouth. I always loved visiting the Megamouth when I was a kid, and I was sad to see it had moved (I didn't know where).
But now it's in Fremantle! Sadly the Fremantle Maritime Museum cost money to get into :( it's only $10 but it's still strange having to pay to get into a museum (I usually donate a few dollars when I go inside a museum anyway)

There used to be a HUGE whale skeleton in the old Perth Museum, but it's been put into storage until they can build another building. I can't wait to see the whale skeleton again, it was my favourite when I was a kid.

Rocky Horror Karaoke @ Devilles

Every Thursday night Devilles has karaoke night! This time was a special Rocky Horror karaoke that my friend ran (he dressed at Frank). Devilles is a bar/restaurant/club, it's probably the most nicely decorated place in Perth. Vintage 'hell' theme :P
I'm terrible at singing, but I gave it a shot anyway. I sang China Girl by David Bowie. The girl before me was even worse, she was drunk and falling about on stage. Then she fell down the stairs and lay there crying. I think they had to get an ambulance in. I don't understand why people drink.

I forgot to take a photo of my outfit AGAIN!

Luckily you can see what I'm wearing here.

Lace shirt: From ex-friend

Lace overtop: New Look

Skirt: Big W

Tights: We Love Colors

Winklepickers: Underground Shoes
