Gothic Beauty Magazine

I hope all you darklings had a wonderfully Dreary Gothmas and received all the ghoulish treats you could squeeze into your casket! I received the board game "Goth" for Gothmas as well as a shiny new sewing machine. Soon I will be a sinister seamstress!

In other news, I have new pins up in my etsy shop, they're cheap, so feel free to buy a few for your favorite straight jacket.



More excitingly though, I am on page 79 of the current issue (issue 27!) of Gothic Beauty magazine. It's the first issue to feature a male on the cover, so pick up a copy at your local bookstore or Hot Topic haunt.

Stay Spooky,
Gothcupcake

Dreary Gothmas!

 

Today I bought a mini tree for the apartment. I got a black tree and decorated it in style with an eyeball ornament, a glow-in-the-dark skeleton, 2 bats, a raven, a spider, and an assortment of black and orange glass orbs. :)

Death Rock Magazine

I have the impulse to buy new and crazy things, interesting stuff that is just on that cusp of being awesome or being terrible. Such was the case when I came across a copy of issue 2 of Death Rock magazine in a Borders a few weeks ago. I was attracted to it, but also thought the model on the cover looked really pretentious. Boasting stories about Vampira and Lip Service, I couldn't resist and picked it up.

I was really impressed with the layout of the magazine, especially for a title's second issue. There are still a few kinks to work out in the editing department, but it's only their second issue, and I feel like this magazine will only get better with each issue released. The stories are interesting, the interviews are informative and there are so many pictures! There is a lot of content in this 100 page magazine and it is really a music magazine.

Reading through it I was embarrassed to admit that I hadn't heard of many of these bands before, and feeling like I was being schooled while I was reading this magazine really made me excited. It wasn't boring, but the interviews, articles and pictures left me enthralled and my list of music I need to pick up just got 20 bands longer after reading it. I was really excited to see a little article on the Horror Pops.

I already can't wait for the next issue to come out so that I can sink my claws into it :) I highly recommend that anyone interested in punk, horror rock or death rock pick up an issue! One of my new favorite magazines.

Look out for my color ad in issue 3 of Death Rock magazine!

Banana...?


Maybe I am immature, but I just found the purple sticker on this banana to be rather funny...

In case it is too small for you to read, it says "Pocket Size Fun" on the banana.
