Happy New 2012!

Today's look was inspired by the lovely Veronica Lake.

Of course I'm nowhere near her beauty but I feel glamourous anyway!

I'll be at a dinner party with 6 "adults" and 7 kids. Lord of the flies might occur! if you do not hear anything from me tomorrow , that's what happened... (not hangover since I will not drink anything with alcohol).

I wish you all a fantastic evening and may 2012 be the best year ever! 2012 all your dreams will come true <3

Thank you all for making this such a special year. Hugs all around!

My promise to you: to be hell of a lot better at blogging....I've  really been a slow fucker lately and been super busy elsewhere. That's not nice to all of you who give me so much positive feedback...

Oh, arrived at the party!  See you later<3

New Year 2011

My Veronica Lake pose. I look so sad..

Veronica used to look so cold and sharp.

Todays look

Heh, clementine dick on my face.

Todays make up

Went for white dots (made by using the other side of my eyeliner brush s stick dipped into Kryolan TV white fluidliner=perfect round dots ).

Also had a slight shade of pink blush all the way up to my eyes.

New Year 2010

New Year.
Last year.

-What the hell?! Is it seagulls in here? Fuck*n birds!

-Ahh, ha ha ha, silly me! It was just me talking filthy!

(and as we all know it's got a tendency to fall back on yourself)

Oh, la di da, acting like some kind of royalty, are we?

Made the dot design using this technique:

Todays look

I had to get up early for the sales today since I looove shopping cheap so make up wasn't one of my best.

I do think I look pretty, but I love myself so much better when I'm all gothed up. This clothes and hair would look so Fab with a nice Goth make up.

But I was out early and made lots of good deals for myself! So I'm satisfied.

Best deal of the day: a skull with horns of a deer for 110 SEK (before 330 SEK), approximately $16. It will be put on a hat <3

Now I have arrived at my parents in law for a yummie dinner and another "Christmas ".

Breakfast!

Christmas breakfast for a champion (meaning me)!

Christmas 2011

Candy table, come to me!

I heart you

Love all this Christmas evening <3

UCG

I'm having my new UCG necklace on today:)

Merry Christmas!

I've reached my destination!

Christmas morning

First gift of today! Happy kids :)

Merry Christmas!

God Jul as we say here in Sweden (or Goth Jul as we Swedish Goths say). I'm looking forward to a lovely evening at my dad's and extra mom's house today <3

My lovely, and insanely pretty sister will be there as well. How I miss her! I will make her sit in my lap all evening!

Top of my list? Hmm,  just to be with people you love is the best gift you can have - but OK, perhaps a personalized laptop bag? Honey? Are you reading this?

God Jul, merry Christmas and a joyful evening to you all <3

Todays make up

The day before Christmas (we celebrate the 24'th in Sweden ) and I had to go shopping.....

I feel like I should sleep a week to catch up this year.

3 Christmas parties in 3 days.

That is just crazy! Will I even survive?

Highest on my wish list is: time, and a third arm.

I have wanted a third arm for quite some time now..

3 kids fighting and crying about who's gonna hold my hands every morning will eventually put me in some not so particular surgery office to have it done. 

Todays make up (wednesday)

Green brows; green eyeshadow,brush, water.

Lipstick; Black lipstick mixed with red lipstick.                                  

Christmas 2011: Chocolate fudge with sea salt

Preparing for tomorrow's making of Chocolate fudge with sea salt.

It's a killer at the Christmas candy table!

I'm making a video of it so you all can enjoy this lovely candy in the future.

Ouch! At the dentist

Whoa! Some crazy ass drilling in my mouth today.

I had the second time for the root filling today - and jump on to a pony and be thrown off in the rose bushes, it hurted! Good thing TeeBee was with me all the time, holding my hand.
Later he explained he only did that because it looked as if they were getting me ready to put me to sleep and he wanted to keep me alive< 3

It was all very fetish oriented today, with latex all over my mouth.
Hope the tooth will stay OK until next time!

Christmas 2011: Making candy

I'm in the process of making white chocolate truffle kugeln with lime covered in dark chocolate. Then on with some other candy between packaging Christmas gifts, taking care of Fairlight who is home sick, and later time for another dental appointment to continue the fixing of my root filling.

Whopeedoo to that last one....

Christmas 2011

Mirror, mirror on the wall; who's the battiest of them all??

I really think this huge mirror would look great at my home. Where to put it I don't know, but I look great in it!

- So, why so boring Adora?

- Uh, so you noticed? Christmas is coming as a missile and I just have too much to do and my brain won't fully cooperate. Perhaps all the gingerbread and saffron buns just clogged it or I'm just turning into a zombie? Nah, don't belive the zombie explanation, I'm already a vampire, and zombies feels kind of stupid. Vampires seems a bit more smart.

Well, perhaps it's just because they have lived for so long that eventually you learn all the kings of any country. What else to do with all that spare time?

- And also I'm busy making (what the he'll, you cheap bastard! You make your own gifts instead of buying?) Christmas gifts and I can't tell you OR show you because my relatives follows my blog and I will not ruin the surprise.

Hi, mum, Beda and dad :) See you all soon < 3

Christmas 2011 - Crafting Jack Skellington

Oh, how I love how I get sent these lovely crafting tips and other cool stuff from my readers so I can share it with others like me!
Thank's <3

This is a link I got sent on Facebook from Jane Doh.
A very cool tutorial on how to make a Jack Skellington tabletop snowman :) Every goth should have one!
But for head I would probably use a paper boll instead.

Todays look

Grabbed Synthia for a shopping tour, mostly because I like to have cute accessories.

I really do look like Gigantor next to her!

Shopping went well. Mostly stuff for TeeBee today: General Grievous talking  helmet, Spiderman muscle costume, Clone wars outfit.....well, you get the general idea of what kind of things he likes. It might be difficult to see, but he is such a nancy-boy sometimes as well. I'm just happy he's not into sports....

Todays make up

Ohh, I did wrong.

A Goth can NEVER prioritize sleep before make up - it's a deadly sin!

But slap me medium hard and drag through flower t-shirts: I just did!

I feel like I should be punished and walk through some kind of Golgata for wanting sleep more than Goth style. This is low! I need an intervention!!!!

Lovely Gold teapot by Little Diva Company

Ahh, how I enjoy my Friday de lux breakfast!

I had a little birthday last week, and one thing I wished for was this over the top teapot from a company in Holland. Impossible to get hold of of course!

It was sold out from the factory and only a very few selected places in Sweden had it for retail - and sold out of course...

BUT I managed to get hold of the last one - at the boutique Raglady in Gothenburg who we're nice enough to send it by mail to me.

Thank you ever so much for helping me out. The freight was even free! And the service impeccable! Totally recommend Raglady.

Thanks for making my Friday's even more special.

Todays make up

I dared to swirl away my eyebrows today! Liking it!

I made half my bangs black since I have an embarrassing growth and don't wanna bleach just yet.

It doesn't quite feel like "me". I looks to evil.

Heh, well, that part is me, but I wanna be evil without it showing. Like a true psychopath...

Old picture of the day

I tried very hard to find a picture of me taken this exact day - but in the past time.

Went back all the way to 2005 without success, and now I'm tired so this is from last December.
Haircolor is pastel violet.

Todays make up, My Starboy

TeeBee 's daycare celebrated Lucia today. He was a Starboy  <3

So incredible cute and sang lovely. I'm so proud of him. But apparently I told him that too many times because he said:

"-But mammi! you have said that 5 times already, and now it is 6. I already know!!! *sigh *"

Crafting: Cake stands

I always buys lots if old plates and candle holders so I can make them to cute and original cake stands.

"-What are you going to do with all of  this crap laying everywhere? You are making me mad, woman!"

Yes, living with a crafter and artistic soul is no dance on roses for those who prioritize order and structure... haha ha!

Baking part II

Dough number two just finished!

Now I have 20 minutes to do something else while it rests.

I'm going for some crafting.

Baking

Once again - making saffron buns. But this time for school.

Dough one.

Todays make up

I've been out shopping all day, Christmas gifts, gifts for the teachers and some food.

I decided on a "french" look today.

At one store I saw this lovely girl and just stared at her: a shorter and completely white version of Desireless hair in video "Voyage, voyage". And some really nice make up. Not crazy- Goth Adora-make up, just very black and perfect make up.

And can you believe?  This astonishing creature came up to ME and said I looked pretty! although she was 10 times more pretty! thanks a lot <3

Aww...

Happy Birthday to me!

39 years ago I looked like this:

This is my mother Eivor, 21 at the time, and newborn me the 5th of December 1972. Ohh, I'm so cute!

You can clearly see my Spanish heritage at my young age. I can't really see the resemblance with the grown me.

Ohh, someone is getting a bit cranky...


So, today at 08:26 AM I turned 39 years old.
And what lovely gift did I get?
This is what I got for my birthday:

a root filling!!!
It will cost me 7000 SEK/$1040 before it's done.
Not exactly what I hoped for when I woke up this morning..

Todays make up in progress II

My crazy blush from Make Up Store: Chic is now added. Brows scetched, eyeshadow lightly contured and thin eyeliner from earlier.

Todays make up in progress

I'm slowly getting there. Just added my favorite lipstick Max Factor 815. On with the eyes..

Christmas crafting 2011

This is how my dinner table looks like when I indulge in some crafting...

"-Hi, family, I think we should eat China style today, sitting on the floor."

or perhaps:

"-Think of this as a art showroom and grab a plate and start mingling. "

Will I be hanged by dawn or declared a genius? We'll just have to wait and see...

Todays make up

Shocking pink, white dots and some kind of border on my upper eyelid was today's hot make up.

Tomorrow my husbands work have invited us both to a Christmas dinner somewhere secret, so I'll be more UCG tomorrow  I think...and perhaps wear some really nice spandex clothes so I can eat my own weight of food!

NOT!

To the spandex part that is... not the; me eating part!

Todays make up

I got my new brushes yesterday, unfortunately not made out of squirrel hair (that I prefer), but made of sable. But I think it was quite good.

I will evaluate it for a week and then I'll add it to the web shop (if good) since I think everyone should be able to get hold of good brushes.

For the white on the inside of the eyes I used Kryolan TV-white foundation. The rest is made by Kryolan Cake Eye Liner and Kryolan CEL sealer, M.A.C. blacktrack fluidline and Viva La Diva black shade with glitter.

This make up was originally inspired by my cat Missan, an Abessinian cat I had as a child to my 20's. I used to do this make up a lot in my teens/<1984, and now just every now and then.

(Picture borrowed)

Then, about 10 years later, I found out about Elvira; Mistress of the Dark.

I'm guessing she had an Abessinian cat as well :)

She is just so pretty! And a good role model showing you don't have to change style because of age! I'm definately looking up to her looks. And those BOOBS! Yeah! I always think people with big knockers should display them! I wanna see more boobs!

Chelsea, love - you got it!

Happy Birthday to me!

39 years ago I looked like this:

This is my mother Eivor, 21 at the time, and newborn me the 5th of December 1972.
Ohh, I'm so cute! I love that round face!

You can clearly see my spanish heritage at my young age. I look kind of goth with all that black hair and black eyes (lenses? hahaha).
I can't really see the resemblance with the grown me though. Can you?

Ohh, someone is getting a bit cranky!

"-Quickly, bring her some blood bags!"

So, today, at 08:26 AM I turned 39 years old.
And what lovely gift did I get?
This is what I got for my birthday:

a root filling!!!
It will cost me 7000 SEK/$1045 before it's done.
Not exactly what I hoped for when I woke up this morning..

I can now only hope for my next birthday (the BIG 4-0) will turn out better!
