Happy Goth Saint Lucia's Day!

Shit - I really DO look good on pictures sometimes!

(Note to all: Always love yourself the most since:

you are the best you there is!)

I had this make up on yesterday when I went out to a café with my tea date Cajsa.

Obviously I had on black clothes then (obviously!), but I thought the make up stood out more wearing pale clothes at the pictures.

I really love this girl on the picture - I wanna be her!

I wanna be her so much I cry blood!

A little close up on the goth bloody tears make up

Today's look

Basic Goth wear by Adora BatBrat by adorabatbrat featuring sequin pants

This is what I consider "basic" goth wear. Nothing special, but still okay.

I had 2 meetings at school yesterday with Fairlight's and TeeBee's teachers wearing this.

(Can someone please help me here - is that correct, or should it be TeeBees' instead of TeeBee's or just plain TeeBees?).

I did feel a bit dressed down from the usual me though.

NO, NO, nothing like that! 

They didn't bite their little friends or anything, it was just the ordinary development chat with the teachers. Fairlight improved (she didn't talk as much and actually raised her hand before talking ;) ). The other things she had under control. Made mum proudest - she is so positive, her teacher said :)

TeeBee...well, what can we say about him...

Also very positive, his teacher said, but ants in the pants, talks as much as I do and just wanna have fun all the time.

Makes his homework witout any effort and scored the highest of all kids in the class (waaaay higher) with 61 points out of 62! A brainiac! Just like me ;)

Halloween make up and Adora pregnant pictures

2006 we were invited to a small Halloween cake party.
Since I have always painted something on my belly a couple of days before I think it's time for delivery this came in handy.
The BIG belly made a perfect pumpkin :)

Little prince TeeBee inside was born 3'd of November 2006, 2 days after the picture was made.
I had gained 22 kilos on this picture!! Whoa! Some scary Halloween!

It's not easy painting on your belly without a mirror and the belly so huge you can't see beneath the "waist".
This is what I painted on my belly before Synthia was born:

Princess Synthia inside, 2 days before delivery as well. I only gaind 13 kilos since she came 2 months too early weighing only 1,8 kilos. She was born with a catastrophic caesarean section 2 days after this picture was made, on the 9'th of August 2003.

And before Fairlight:

Princess no 2; Fairlight got a pink kitten. She was born 7 days after the picture was made. The 11'th of April 2005. I gained 20 kilos with her.

It's truely a wonder I got back to my skinny self watching these pictures - but I did!

And you know I did it using the Montignac Method only (and after the breast feeding was done with).

My Music Monday's - Playlist 2012

I have misbehaved *slap, slap on my butt*
To correct my fatal error I added 3 new songs to the playlist with good Friday dance music at once.
A bit more less massive since it's straight from the lovely 80's, but still no shame.
Nitzer Ebb - Join in the chant

Adora BatBrat, singer of Nitzer Ebb: Douglas McCarthy, my sister Jennie/Iva Insane.
Such a cosy time - and he smelled great BTW!

Front 242 - Tragedy For You (if you are not able to watch it...)

No cosy picture together....

Old picture of the day

Aww, look at baby me - I look so cute!

This is 2003 so I'm "only" 31 on the picture and our first daughter, Synthia, is 4 months.

Yes, I did use silver spray on the rest of my hair, but the bangs was colored with Directions Silver.

This band is a bit extra special since my husband is part of them getting their first record deal.

2002 at Tinitus festival, Stockholm

1992 I made a song to one of my husbands bands (Voister Litz) music.
The song "I Dedicate" ended up on a compilation album called "Autumn Leaves" and on that record was also Covenant performing their song "Replicant". Their first song under the name Covenant.

2004 at Kino, Karlskrona

My husband arranged the release party for the record and invited the bands from the compilation we liked the most.
I remember when he called singer Eskil of Covenant and invited them. Eskil was very surprised and said 
"-But Covenat never played live and we don't have any other material!"

One of my best friends was good friends with Esbjörn from record label Memento Materia (who was asked by Ace of Base to sign them and he thought their music was crap and one year later they were huge! but I agree with him *sorry*) and I told her to invite him. He showed up and was all excited by Covenant live - as the rest of us! and signed them asap!
So Karlskrona was their first gig under the name Covenant.
And then of course I had them as my main act at the Vince Festival I arranged :) I'm a fan!!!

Today's make up - Gothic tears, new version

I used a brown shadow under my eyes, then I lightly sketched how the tears should be.
I painted the lower end of the tears with a ordinary liquid eyeliner and then used black eyeshadow from the eyeliner tears and up to create a soft gradiation towards the eye. I added some silver glitter on top.
(The rest of the make up is just ordinary Kryolan eyeliner with CEL sealer and some lashes.)

Pepptalk yourself happy, then be bad

This morning I set a rule to myself: 
to be perky all day.

It's usually nothing I need to think about since I always jump out of bed with a big smile (just to make everyone else feel bad about themselves). It annoys the hell out of people. I like that!

But the past week I've had a killer sore throat (okay, so I know I'm not supposed to eat razor blades for evening snacks, but I'm goth. I can't help it).
And what do you know?!
Having a fever and a massive sore throat can actually get on your temper! WHOA! I just couldn't recognice this grumpy, but super-cute, goth girl in the mirror.
But it was me!

Being down is for cheerleaders (I was about to make a nasty comment on them being down on their backs...but I won't) so I had to shape it up.

And it worked splendid! Perhaps getting the cutest cuddles from my family members and the ladies at the charity shop who came up to me just to tell me they thought I looked amazing, and the ladies at the small Wedding exhibit who said I looked lovely and delightful might have something to do with it.
OR - I'm just a devil at boosting myself and deciding to snap out of things.



Since I got a bit too much goodwill today I must decide on being sneaky and vicious tomorrow.

After all, I am goth.

Adora BatBrat postcard

This might sound odd, but ever so often I get mails from sweet boyfriends who wanna make their goth girlfriends have a different kind of gifts.
They want me to send a postcard to their loved one.
Unfortunately I never have the time to do this, and if I did I would be ruined, but I think it is so sweet of them to think a little message from me can make their pretty girls happy!

So, in order to help those sweet goth boys to be able to do this romantic act I now added a postcard to the webshop where you can add your own message, and I will write it and post it to who ever you want.

Adora BatBrat postcard can be bought at BatBrat.com

I just love this picture of me modelling Nox Hyde wolf ears, and I think the thought bubble was cute too (see, I always boost myself)!

Thank you organizers!

I am so grateful for your comments on what you like to see here.

Thank you so much for your time.
Of course I will pretend it was all my ideas.

Someone in my home is guilty of giving me a little bug that makes my throat feel sore.
I feel so miserable *bohoo* And I who enjoys talking so much! This have been a very sad day (perhaps not for my husband who's always saying that every person have a certain amount of words to be used in a life, and that my words soon will be used up).
I tried almost everything

• hot mint tea with honey
• ice cream
• Bafucin (a tablet with a mild anesthesia)
• hot milk with  melted cachuchas

The final outpost is sleep. I'll try it, and I better get well because tomorrow at 10 I'll have a meeting about my company. Need to have a voice by then I think.
Since bed is calling I'll just post an old picture of me (and my boyfriend, now husband):)
I'm 18-19 on the picture if not mistaken.
