Your body's dying. Pay no attention, It happens to us all.

I know the trials of being pale and having black hair. Its hard not to fall into the gothic bracket or be stereotyped as an emo. A taxi driver once asked me how my people were to which he explained " goths ye call yerself isnt it". Cue an exasperated sigh on my behalf and my old unnesssary adage of how somedays I like to wear colours and on other days I stick to a darker palette.

Thankfully starlets such as Dita Von Teese and Florence Welsh have provided me with inspiration to counteract the stereotype. I heart Dita Von Teese, I love the way she threads the lines between sexy and old glamour so intensely that I wonder if anyone else could really pull off the tease in that way.


I was reading one of those how to make your blog popular self help articles recently. You know the ones, where they try to make you use every single type of system that will manipulate people to get to your blog quicker. Anyway, a fashion blogger explained that in no shape or form should one dare to put up music videos, she stated that any time she came across a blog with music videos thrown in she immediately came to the conclusion that the blog would be one of flimsy content. So I says to Maybel I says....no seriously I dont really see why one should distinguish too much between the lines of music and fashion. Really how on earth could you seperate the two they feed off each other. Understandbly one shouldnt litter a blog with videos from youtube as a means of creating a post for the sake of it, but most of my inspiration comes from music videos so I like to include in my blog posts videos that inspire me.

And now I shall sign off with Beirut- Elephant Gun which is inspiring in me a Vodka Martini (ok yeah im lying I can really only afford a vodka and splash) and an all night party.
