One of the looks from my Female Goth Icons video. Gotta admit, shooting this look with their ๐ถ in my brain, knowing how perky goff I looked made me bouncy and jovial. I almost got ice cream...ALMOST! I'm not at that secure point in my regime where I feel it won't send me down the cheetos and choc chunk brownies hole.

Where were you in 1994 ? ย The Crow premiered in movie theaters; Projekt Records had Lycia, Love Spirals Downwards, and Voltaire on their label, and the Goth subculture was riding the peak of its second wave.
At the center of it wasย Carpe Noctem magazine, a โdark artsโ publication that covered the likes of writers Neil Gaiman and Caitlin R. Kiernan; artistsย Dave McKean and Jon J Muth; andย bands like Trio Nocturna, Faith And The Muse, and former members of Christian Death.ย
Sadly, the magazine faded after almost 10 years in publication;ย In the time between then and now, Carpe Noctemย has been wistfully remembered in late-night coffee shops, online forums, and Goth clubs across America; And old copies of the magazine sell for premium prices on eBay.
Now, for its 20th anniversary,ย Carpe Noctem is returning! Its KickStarter launched three days ago. (And, as of this writing, it is already 50% funded.) If you want your own copy of the new Carpe Noctem, all you need to do is pledge $10. ย If you pledge a bit more, you can get nice packages of extras that include t-shirts, stickers, and e-books! Iโve already made my pledge. If you harken to the call of the darker side, I encourage you to do the same. You wonโt regret it. Carpe Noctem 20th Anniversary Relaunch KickStarter
We went to Old Bethpage Restoration Village today. Random car selfie beforehand. I now know a lot about blacksmithing and I'm surprised to know just how many of the sayings we use today came from Blacksmithing. 'Beating the daylights out of someone' for example. Beating the hot orange steel until it's gone black. I've got lots of pics to sort through. #goth #gothic #90sgoth #blackhair #blackmooncosmetics #redlipstick #youtuber #longisland #ny #newyork #gothgirl #wingedeyeliner
We've definitely outgrown our studio apartment. Today's shoot went down the crapper ๐ I'm going to give it another try during the week. Stuart will be home but I'll have to find some way to bribe him to be quiet. 2 closets for all of our clothes and having to dig for my lighting each week is not fun. Fingers crossed the apartment hunt turns out positive! #goth #gothic #portrait #art #bats #gothgirl #spooky #blacklipstick #blackmooncosmetics #youtuber #youtuber #model #longisland #newyork #90s #fashion
I'm hoping the warmer weather continues. I'm sick of piling on the layers just to walk my dog...I'm pretty sure he's frustrated with the process as well. He tells me with his judgy eyes. #goth #gothic #ethereal #tribal #summer #dress #outfit #hat #blacklipstick #blackhair #sheinlove #shein #youtuber #youtube #magic #magical #witch
