Wednesday Wants

First off, I'd like to say thanks for everyone who follows me. I have 23 people following me at the moment, and it makes me very happy. I never knew people would be interested in reading my blog.

Recently I got a bit of bad news. Sisters of Mercy were to come to Australia/Perth for a festival called Soundwave Revolution. Only yesterday news came out that Soundwave Revolution was cancelled.
It has made me very annoyed, I've always wanted to see Sisters of Mercy and had bought 2 tickets early. There is a great backlash in Australia about it. Apparently it was cancelled because one band pulled out, even though they already had plenty of good bands (Alice Cooper being one). I rarely go to concerts/festivals because none of the bands appeal to me, and this was the first time I willing bought a festival ticket. Luckily they're refunding tickets, but I would still love the see Sisters of Mercy.

Rockabilly Fetish Keyhole Spiked Pencil Dress. Inspired Insanity, $54.95. Keyhole neck outfits are very cute. I've never owned something with a keyhole neck, but there is a lot of it in the Goth scene. I would buy this dress, but I would like to see how it sits on me first.

Labyrinth David Bowie Jareth Talking 12-Inch Action Figure. Dark Figures, $29.99. I already have the non-talking Jareth figure, but I would LOVE the talking version. I love Bowie, and the Labyrinth. It's very hard to find a good priced Jareth doll, but I might look into it.

 Inspire Sheer Sleeve Pussy Bow Top. New Look, £17.99. I love pussy bows! Also, I'm very sorry about the crappy quality of the photo. I still don't know how to grab a good one off the New Look website. Please go to the website if you'd like to see a better photo.

Here is a video from Sisters of Mercy, it really sucks that I wont be able to see them:

Wednesday Wants

Batty Skirt. £19.99 from Moon Maiden Clothing. I love sewing, but I'm not good enough to produce something like this! They do plus size, so I'm seriously thinking about getting one.

ASOS Pair of Angular Collar Tips. £10.00 from ASOS. SO CUTE!!! I've never seen anything as awesome as these.

ASOS Skinny Cross Hand Harness. £8.00 from ASOS. Because you can't have too many things with crosses on them.

ASOS Double Spike Through Finger Ring. £8.00 from ASOS. *dies* These are the best thing since sliced bread. I need these now!!! Although they don't give a clear ring size on their website.

Darkwave @ The Bakery

I've had a cold, which accounts for my not posting 'Wednesday Wants' last Wednesday. Sorry about that.

On Friday the 29th, me and Nix went to Darkwave. It was a concert containing 8 bands, all of them indie sounding. I'm pretty sure that they were all from Perth too. I was excited to see Like Junk play, because the guitarist is the guy I work with. They were great! Another band I really liked was Heytesburg, who sounded very Trad Goth.

Me and Nix were the only Goths there. It's really horrible not going out and dressing up every weekend.

 I wore my lovely MAC lipstick again. This time I outlined my lips in black eyeliner and blended it. I had to be super quick with my makeup, as the show started at 8pm! I'm also wearing my favourite necklace which has bats on it. I got it from a Halloween jewelery bin. Oh, how I love Halloween.

Being classing, standing in a carpark next to a random car. Pulling an unattractive face :P
Specimen shirt: Specimen gig, last year in the UK (they were great!)
Fishnet top: Cut up tights
Bangles: Evans
Corset: Can't remember
Skirts: Lace skirt from Chain Reaction. Skirt under that, swing skirt from Evans
Tights: We Love Colours
Boots: Demonia

On Saturday I got a new nose piercing, it's healing up well but hurts a bit.

The Amenta @ Unknown, and The Loft

July 23rd I went to Club Unknown. Me and my friends have been craving a night out, as all the Goth clubs in Perth have nearly died. We haven't been dancing in a month. The Amenta were playing, they're a metal band. I really dislike metal, so I was worried I wouldn't enjoy myself.
Basically I didn't enjoy the metal played. It was packed with metal heads, who left straight after the band. Which I think is a bit rude, I mean what else do they have to do on a Saturday night?

Here is what I wore:
My makeup. Not very good, I think I've lost my talent because I haven't done it in so long. I'm also wearing my new MAC Lipstick, in the colour Cyber. Oh, and not forgetting my lovely nose chain!

 Sorry about the crappy nail polish! Here is my awesome bell bracelet. I've been trying to find one for ages, and I finally got one in a hippy/gypsy type store in a shopping centre.

 Here are the photos taken in the bathroom at Club Unknown. You can tell because of the fog from the smoke machine!

Necklaces: Made by a friend.
Lace top: Op Shop (given to my by an ex-friend)
Corset: Can't remember :(
Skirts: Top layer from Target. The bottom one from a brand called Prude (a one off I think)
Boots: Demonia

After going to Club Unknown I stayed over my friends house and spent the next day with them watching How Clean Is Your House? And screaming whenever they touched dirty stuff with their hands. Seriously, it's brilliant.

Sunday night we went to The Loft, because I was DJing.
 I wore my new lace top from New Look. I also used a touch of my MAC lipstick.

 I'm standing in my friends bedroom, if you're wondering.

Necklaces: Ebay
Lace shirt: New Look
Singlet: Ebay
Skirt: Prude (this was under my other skirt when going to Club Unknown)
Fishnet top: I made it (going to post a how-to soon)
Boots: Demonia

The next time I get to dress up will be this Friday at Darkwave. Which basically a concert.

Jimmy Deans Diner- Midland

I really need to get a new camera. This one is really crappy. The photo was taken at my friends house, for anyone wondering where I am.

Okay, so yesterday (22nd July) I took my friends out for dinner at Jimmy Deans in Midland. Food was good, service was terrible. We moved tables, and for some reason they kept taking stuff to our old table. When there was no one there. I don't know why they kept doing this, as I told them that we had moved and the girl wrote it down.

I wore my Peter Pan collar dress, and my new tights from We Love Colours. I chose white to go with the dress, but I don't think it suits me as my legs are too chunky. But whatever :P

Dress: ASOS Curve
Belt: Yours Clothing
Tights: We Love Colours
Shoes: Target

Wednesday Wants

 Deluxe Librarian Action Figure. Archie McPhee $12 USD. I already have the normal Librarian Action Figure, but her 'shushing' action is broken. Plus, this one comes with a computer and lots of books!

Glow in the Dark Zombies Play Set. Archie McPhee $18.95 USD. I'm sadly lacking in a zombie figure collection. Lots of books, but not enough toys.



Bat Hair Clip. Etsy KristinaKreep $5 USD. How awesome is this?


I'm DJing at the Loft this weekend (July 24th). So if I have any Perth stalkers out there, you're welcome to come!

Adam Ant- Stand and Deliver

I was talking the other day with my friend Nikki.
She doesn't know how brilliant/smexy Adam Ant is. So here is his video Stand and Deliver.
Seriously, Adam Ant= Le Smex
Yes, it's 80s. Yes, it's corny. But I love it. I wish he'd tour Australia (and Perth, no one want's to come to Perth)
