Picture of the Day

I got a mail from photographer Jan Blok of Holland with a picture from last years M'era Luna today.
Oh, how I long to the M'era Luna festival right now. I even long for my sprained ankle I'm desined to get.
-What! Who? Me? Naaahh, I never get tipsy in Germany!

Happy in my pants

The postman made a ding-dong on my door
when I opened up I found a package on the floor

The package made me drop my pants
faster then a rocket scientist could nail my aunts

My legs got squeezed real tight
and I'm ready for a party all night

12 of these will go the the webshop
but I want them for myself, I can feel a tear drop

It's the lovely stockings I have drooled over.

Right now I feel like Gollum and wanna hide them all in my grotto, and have them all, just for me..

Oh yeah, look how proper I was at todays lecture about social media.

I'm very fond of wearing big bows around my neck, almost as much as I love pearls, rhinestones and lace.



Old picture of the day

At Depeche Mode, Stockholm, 2001.
With my super cute friend Jennifer <3 She is just too hot!

I even got a backstage pass that day and accused Martin Gore of stealing all my clothes! He had a good laugh and talked for a while *whiii, starstruck eyes*

And - no - I didn't go there like this, it was in the middle of winter. I looked like this on arrival. And yes, I made the long skirt and the jacket myself.

Blond hair makes me stupid(er)!

When you bleach your hair to make it blond your hair becomes like a drinking straw. And this is how you become stupid - the brain cells are just pouring out through the holes (and it takes a blond girl to come up with this idea). This is why you should always color over the white with some color fast like hell to lock the brain cells in.

I'm now suffering from bleaching stupidity.
I'm getting dumber by the minute.
And my make up skills seems to fade, I just can't see the fun in doing my make up anymore, since it doesn't look as good with plain, boring, white hair. (I love other people in white hair, but I just can't see the same beauty in me having white hair).

Just look at me from today. I had a no make up day today, I forgot I had a parental meeting so I had exactly 24 minutes before I had to leave home. 22 minutes doing make up, 1 minute hair and 1 minute clothes. And look - it's a disaster! No wonder I look so pouty on the pictures. White hair is like a blank paper. Nothing. Inspiration is gone.
With white hair; no make up skills, and with lack of make up skills follows bad taste in clothing as well... HELP!!! Where's a jar of hair color when you need it?!

Gothic item: fishnet pantyhose

One of the first items bought as a little aspiering goth was a pair of classic fishnet stockings. They costed a small fortune back in the days, but it was worth every penny. I did everything in them, and I mean EVERYTHING! We were the best of friends; laughing and planning for world domination. Then the bitch left me for a pair of PU pants..

The classic fishnet pantyhose is a must in a goth girls wardrobe. Always start out with a classic pair, then add some with bigger nets as well.

if you get a hole in them, just transform them to German stockings (it's what me and my friends calls ripped stockings)

if you get a hole in the groin, just do as we all do: cut off the feets, put your head through the groin, in with the arms in the legs and the waist below your breasts. See, even (I assume: rich) Lady Gaga does it. I think goths do it better though..

AND - you are never bored with a pair of fishnets ;)

Kitchen crafting at easter

Yeah, I know, it's not easter yet, but I always start early.
Fairlight's birthday party for grownups was today. I've done some baking and schmaking.

Made some sweet pink sugar hearts and sugar eggs for my dads coffee

 Chicken cookies, fried eggs, carrots and pink rabbits on the cake and my super-scary goth centerpiece ;)

 made a bunch of cupcake toppers as well. I snatched my favourite; white rabbit with black bow

 the cake is filled with whipped cream mixed with creme fraiche, icing sugar, orange zest and fresh strawberries. And nutritious carrots and tender rabbits on top.

Fairlight's actual Birthday is on Monday, so she will be celebrated once more...

Making marzipan chickens

Fairlight turns 6 on Monday, so I'm up to my lace gloves in flour, powdered sugar and butter. I will make 7 different kinds of cookies (it's a tradition in Sweden).

I have made a bunch of cute little chickens to decorate some cookie or perhaps the cake with. Usually I like my chickens dead and on a plate, but this is kind of fun to. Pip piiip. It will make me feel like a giant when I crush them between my teeth. Mo-ha-ha-haa!

Gothic item: fingerless lace gloves

Notice: wearing lace/netting gloves will not protect you fingers from blood when you cut people open (as most plain people think we'll do). I still recommend you to wear latex gloves for this kind of hobby. The lace glove is for decoration only.

One day you wake up and decide to leave the cornflake eating, Nike wearing and fake smile world to become part of the wonderful goth side of life, where fibres, Demonia shoes and black lipstick smiles will rule your world.
To portrait yourself as a gothic person you will need some basic things you just can't do it with blue jeans and a flower decorated cotton shirt.

One item is the fingerless gothic lace gloves.
There are many different styles to it; for example the more Lolita, the basic and the old style elegant (I also know there are big differences in what contry you are from). I'm mostly a fan of basic goth and old style elegant. I like it quite plain so I can wear lots of jewells :)
Have these

and similar

from Dark Destiny at etsy.com

I'm extra fond of this kind, with half fingers. It's hot!

I'd buy it in a second!

Totally my style <3 My fav in the bunch

Todays make up

Today I've been black, white and grey. I only spend 40 minutes doing my make up and hair in the morning, so this is all I come up with on an ordinary day.

Easter on etsy.com

Soon it's easter, one of those fantastic holidays that involves killing people. It's also a big crafting holiday. I've started on some faux sugar eggs.

Don't forget those wonderful crafters at etsy.com.
If you are no good at crafting, and rather sit on your own hands until they are numb and then put them in a mixer than sit down in the company of glitter, paint, scissors, ribbons, bows and lace you can just buy already made things that also looks fantastic!!
And if you are sneaky (like we all should be) just say you made it yourself when old grandma Henny asks about the admirable center piece. Works like a charm!

Cart Before The Horse $90

 LoopyBoopy $85

Fiona Art $75

And to remember this fantastic man who suffered on the cross to same humanity (to have something to feed on), the first vampire ever - Jesus, you might consider buying this fab jewellry.

You can read about my thesis on Jesus being a vampire HERE.

Eternal Autumn $40

Nail art

I just ordered me some Stamping Nail Art :) It was not a Konad, but I hope it will do the trick anyway.
Now I will only have to find me some of those skull, lace, dot, bat and spider plates and I'm home free :)

Image plate: Konad IP M01-Spider

Bundle Monster plate BM13

Cute! Don't know the plate though *sorry*

Image plate M71

It is very important to have beautiful nails.

Especially when you, like me, sometimes rip peoples hearts out by hand and then show it to them before they die. You want them to have a nice memory, with beautiful nails holding their heart. You don't want them to die thinking "Man, she's got some ugly, crap looking nails." It's for the little people I do it ;)

Old picture of the day

Here are a few pictures from 2000. I had 1920's make up that day and decided to make it last forever. I think the pictures are so cute, even if the quality leaves much to wish for..
This tiara was a gift from my thoughtful husband <3
(What I don't tell you is that this is actual pictures from 1920's.
I really AM a vampire you see..)

Chocolate Pie and earrings

Me and Fairlight took a stroll on town today. Her birthday is coming up and she had to tell me what she wanted.

We also had my parents in law over for dinner tonight. We had a very nice time.

Here's on our way out. I look like Gigantor next to her!

 Do you mind me tiing my dotted bow?

 Me and my husband baked a chocolate pie for dessert.

It was pure love in my mouth.

 Today my husband bought me those fantastic glamourous earrings I'm wearing. He sure knows how to treat his wife! I love glitter (and him)!

Chocolate Love Pie  12 pieces converter

(Notice: The cake must set for at least 3 hours after it's been baked)

150 g milk chocolate (I used IKEA's)

150 g butter

2½ dl sugar (I'm sure you can use less)

3 eggs

2½ dl wheat flour

200 degree Celsius in the oven.

Put a baking paper at the bottom of an openable baking tin.

Stab the chocolate multiple times, like you would on a heart.

Melt the butter and pour it over the chocolate to make it really dead. Stir.

Put in the deadly ingredient: sugar (and that is NO joke).

Crack the eggs to it and enjoy the sound of a crushing head while doing it.

Shove down the flour and stir the mixture violently intill it's helpless and accommondative.

Pour to the pan, put it in the middle of the oven (be aware - burned chocolate taste awful) for about 15-20 minutes.

Then let set for at least 3 hours before eating the damn thing. I put it on my balcony where I had 10 degrees today (there you got a free weather report from Sweden).

Serve with:

powdered sugar, raspberries and lightly whipped cream

I thought it would taste like pure sugar, but I was wrong. It was soooo good and I really recommend it!

Good Friday

Right now I'm having hot chocolate and are eating the peanut cookies I baked together with TeeBee.

They turned out very good and tasted yummy (a bit too sweet), but in the picture they should be flat, and ours were not. I think we had a tad to much flour. I think I will add them in my permanent recipe book, at least until I find a better peanut cookie recipe. My last was with cocoa and chopped chocolate added, but they were a bit boring in taste.

I can always half dip these or wriggle dark chocolate on them to make them better.

I wish they were a bit more beautiful though, I want my cookies to look pretty. But they score 4p out of 5 in the peanut cookie category.

You want my Pee-nuts?  (10 big or 20 small)

100 gram butter

1 dl sugar

1 dl oatmeal

1 dl chopped salted peanuts

1,5 dl wheat flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

Oven 200 degrees Celsius.

Mix room temperatured butter with sugar until it's fluffy.

Add the rest of the ingredients.

Roll them to about 10 bolls (or 20 for smaller), put the bolls on a baking plate and bake them for about 10-15 minutes.

We made 10 big cookies - and they were heavy-duty cookies. I could only have one and then I was full!

Don't try this at home unless you wanna gain weight.

Modelling Pinkabsinthe

Can you imagine - I have one more set from Ksenia - the talented Pinkabsinthe.
Here is a beautiful pink necklace with the cutest little skull at the bottom. I LOVE pink, and mini skulls <3
I think the make up turned out very well.
You can shop at Ksenia's etsy HERE. Her prices are very good. Check it out!
