Weird Stuff

Hey, do you ever have those nights where you rabbit hole on the internet? By rabbit hole, I mean you start off searching one subject and keep finding others to click on, it can be incredibly insane, addictive and interesting! Tonight I was looking at this lovely book I obtained at  the library.


This lead me to looking up fairy tale artists such as Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. I found Dulac's art on Pinterest and found this beautiful peice

Edmund Dulac “Abysm of Time”

So of course I had to add a Fairy Tale board to my other 66 boards on my Pinterest site. (lol yes...I know I have a problem) Upon searching faiy tales on Pinterest I came across something quite odd and my morbid curiosity got the best of me.I'll let you click here needless to say, it's creepy eh? I clicked on the site the image was linked to (See where this rabbit hole thing is going?) And fell down further to find this morbidly intriguing site!

If you have a sense of morbid curiosity, such as myself, go ahead and click on it...I dare ya!
Enjoy!

   Halloween Clearance makes a Goth on a Budget very happy!

     I know I haven't been been updating here, terrible me. Life has gotten in the way, or lack there of one. My days have been up and down and all over the place! But I find time to make a video or two and enjoy some after Halloween Shopping...Halloween Clearance is a wonderful thing! As I mentioned earlier in this vlog, Halloween is the BEST time to collect Gothy things for your home as well as pieces for your wardrobe. I'm not above using Halloween costumes as gothy outfits. I know that Goth elitists would most likely turn their nose up at that, but I don't care! It's what I can afford, and what I like! Goth on a Budget right?!  One thing I hoped to obtain after Halloween was a hooded cloak. I was feeling as though that was a lost cause for a while, as I scoured the thrift store racks after Halloween. So many stores put their Halloween merchandise away and it was so sad! Yesterday though, I was able to fine one though! There it was at Kmart, of all places, a black, crushed velvet looking cloak with a hood, $24.99 and 75% off! So it came to $6.25....Goth on a Budget SCORE!!


I'm so excited!! It's cozy!! (more photos later)


Here are some of my Halloween Clearance finds and Halloween Socks I've found this year.

My lovely new bat necklace found or $1.43!



Not really Halloween persay, but way awesome!

Long Live Halloween!

I just want to gripe for a minute about how fast stores are shutting down the holidays. You put items out so early and then take them away early and go on to the next holiday. Halloween was here and there was some great stuff in the stores and now, 3 days after the 31st stores are tearing down Halloween! This is quite sad indeed. Even neighbors are taking down their decorations.  I have to admit, I'm a lingerer. I hold onto the holidays as much as I can. It makes me sad when there is nothing to look forward to or to look at to make me smile. So long live Halloween! I will enjoy it always, and live it each day!
