Me, being totally un-goth (so, slaughter me and eat me, russian goths) just can't help falling in love with this wall-paper from designer Klaus Haapaniemi. I wouldn't have it in my home - but I still find it amazing.
I LOVE HEARTS!

Fairlight birthday bash #1

To eat:
Buffet: fillet marinated in dijon mustard, horse raddish plus caper
potatoe sallad with sour cream and dill
tzatziki
mozzarella and tomatoes with basil and freshly ground black pepper
mixed sallad

Mini semla
2 small cookies
Pink birthday cake with strawberries and orange-whipped cream

She got so many presents :) It's so lovely to see their happy faces. Mummy loves <3
She got red patent leather shoes, Hello Kitty muffin game, dolls, cute skirt, dinosaurs, tattoos and so on.
Tomorrow she'll have a cat-party for her daycare friends :)

Flour on black

So..what is a goth princess doing on a Friday?
Apparently baking...
Today I've made cat cakes, oak cookies, a sponge cake for the birthday cake. Earlier this week I made egg-looking cakes, mini-semla and some heart cookies. I'm still 2 cookies off for the 7-cake-rule...(birthday cake doesn't count).

Tomorrow we'll have the relatives over to celebrate Fairlight who is turning 5 on Sunday and I will not follow the 7-cake-rule. WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY WOMAN!! Why is because I'll serve a small buffet as they arrive, and that plus 7 cakes and a birthday cake can be bit too much.. But for Sunday, at her cat-party with her daycare friends, I will make sure to serve 7!

Today we got a call from her doctor in Lund that told us her latest tests looked good, so now we'll reduce the Prednisolon from 1.25 milligrams every night, to just 1.25 every other night (she will still have her other medicines). She got so happy about it :)
(She suffers from a very rare form of a soft tissue rheumatic disease: Juvenile Dermatomyotosis, JDM).

Looking foward to see my family tomorrow :)

Shopping tip

H&M have this super cheap lace linen. Use it under a corset, add a few crosses and lace gloves for a nice day out.

Baked cupcakes with Fairlight for her birthday celebration on daycare tomorrow. I didn't put my soul in the decorating, but I pimped them enought for kids to be totally impressed :) They taste like lemon and she also put a piece of chocolate in the middle. I made them blue, red, purple and orange. Mummy-points!

A poison flask necklace

After I told you people about Allison's delicious poison flask she did put them on etsy for you to buy for $8.00 USD!

She was even nice enough to give me one for free since I put it up here - that is just too cute <3 I can't wait to get it! Just can't decide on what color... you can choose between black, green, red and yellow. I think I'll go with black...but I might just buy a red and green one later...

A poison flask necklace

One of my Facebook friends made this fantastic neckless! What goth wouldn't wear this?! Allison Hausner on FB - perhaps she's got them for sale?

Jesus is a vampire

It's a slow Sunday.

Today Jesus got back to life - woooho, cool.
I guess he turned into a vampire then?
He died, there was people drinking blood involved, he got back to life and lives forever...? If that's not a vampire I don't know?!
Has anyone ever seen him smile on any paintings so we can see the fangs???

From this day and foward I now decide that Jesus are in fact a vampire. AND that's the reason why I consider myself a Christian!

About to hit my pillow. Today I've been at a nice dinner at a friends house. Between us we have 5 kids so you can imagine the action going on!

Later I did a test-make up and hair on a friend of mine who is gonna get married in May. She is an ex-electro goth and wanted to look less normal. She picked out a picture from a book and I tried to make her look just like it. She got so pretty! She looked just like Nina Hagen! SOOOO PRETTY <3 The best part was that she and her husband to be both really liked it, it made me very happy. They are just so in love - it's too cute.

My egg cookies! They do look almost like the real thing, don't they?

Easy to make too. I made some extras to Fairlight's 5'th birthday coming up in 1½ week. I usually serve 7 kinds of cookies/pastries for birthdays. Is that a swedish thing or do you have the "7-cake-rule" in other countries too??

I'm gonna buy some paint for this evenings easter crafting at school. I'm a classparent. Also I have to bake something...I will try to make some egg-looking cookies.
I hope I remember to take pictures!

Also I will have a meeting with those important business men later. I do not know what to expect - or what they expect from me?! I just hope they like the Adora-shimmer of bats :)

I was searching for some corset tips when I stumbled over this picture. My God I hope my corsets doesn't make my ass look that big! In Sweden big asses is NOTHING to wish for.

But theese are absolutely something to wish for! Wow, I must try making them sometime. Corset cookies <3 Perhaps they will give you a big ass?

My new video is up! It's only 1 minute, but still...
Check it out!

Crap! I was about to post my new video on youtube - and that function was down for maintenance at the moment :( Will have to wait till tomorrow

New youtube video

Today I'm making a new youtube video. A VERY short one about the Anadin Brothers style. You already know it - but I want all goths to acknowledge their style. Perhaps that can buy me some time to finish my next craft video that is only half done...

And for my husband I'm gonna buy this from H&M.
It's a nice shirt for him to wear at work.
Can be bought here at H&M's onlineshop.

Just re-colored my hair. Gonna cut the bangs as hair is dry.
Then some time in front of the mirror to create todays face.
Out on town to buy a present to my dad. He wants a shortsleeved shirt with a pocket. The pocket is to keep his cigarettes in. I do not like when people smokes. It smells bad and make your face look older then you are. And it shortens his life..

I found this nice white shirt, shortsleeved - with a front pocket, with small black stars 0,5 centimeters scattered and in small groups. It looks really cool, and a bit trendy.

The sneak-listening of my commercial is to be found on my Facebook. I couldn't get it posted here...
Adora BatBrat's facebook

Tonight I'm gonna post a sneak-listerning of my commercial-song :) It's so sad you can't hear the whole song, it's kind of cool :)

Crane Day

The 25'th of March is the day Jesus mum Mary got notice from the archangel Gabriel that she was pregnant.

BUT today is also Crane Eve (tranafton), a folk-way from my home landscape. In the old times the kids ran barefoot (run crane) over 7 grounds and 9 dungheaps on the Crane eve. The saying is that if you do you will have a healthy summer and won't get snakebites.

"The crane brings light to bed" - you should go to bed while it was still light out and you no longer lit candles or used electricity in the evening.

The kids could dress up as cranes and go around sneaking crane cards to the neighbours. Also they painted cards of cranes to put on the window so the crane knew where to give gifts.

We celebrated by running barefoot 3 times around the playground. Then we painted pictures of the crane that we put on to the window. Then the kids hang their panyhose on the sofa. Tonight the crane will come and put presents and/or candy in them. When they wake up they can see his footprints and some feathers. It's very exiting for them! This is how I celebrated as a kid.
