Dragon Con 2012

This year was my first time going to Dragon Con. Although it was exhausting, I had a great time. I definitely plan on going again next year.
Me and Justean

She's feeling zombified. Justean, I think you need medical attention.

Getting strangled by my demon friend. 

I had to. haha

I tried on two authentic steel boned corsets. I originally wanted the underbust (since they're versatile), but the overbust looks really good too.  I'd like to order one for birthday or Christmas. Which one do you guys like better on me?
 or

I did a lot of shopping, but I didn't actually buy anything. :(  However, I did get some cool pictures.
The Goblin King!  

Dr. Rockzos (Metalocalypse)

I'm not sure who it's supposed to be, but I thought it was very interesting.

Guess What! I shook Nelsan Ellis' (Lafeyette from Trueblood's hand)! I love the show (I've only watched up to the 3rd season so far), and Lafayette is my favorite character.

 While I was roaming around, I happened to see Voltaire and Rogue (Cruxshadows) just walking around. I also talked to a guy who gave me his band's EP, "If Only Boris Karloff Was My Dad" I listened to it, and it's really good! The Long Losts has a page on Facebook, so go check it out and hit the 'Like' button.

While I was there, I wanted to donate blood. So Justean begrudgingly did it with me. :D  We both donated a pint. Afterwards we got free t-shirts, free snacks, and a pin that says, "I fed a Vampyre Baby."
 Vamplets sponsored the blood drive. They also had a booth were they were selling their dolls. You can visit their website here.

After leaving, Justean and I got terribly lost on the way home before I figured out The GPS was still in the car...-facepalm- We picked up my friend Jessica and roasted hot dogs and s'mores over the fire pit in my backyard. This is one of my favorite activities (especially in the Fall). Well, that's that. ;)

    It sounds like you had alot of fun~ ;D I wish I lived closer to Dragon-con. Anyway, your outfit is very cute, I especially like your hairstyle. I think the overbust corset looks really nice.
    I can't donate blood because I'm anemic, but that pin is just so cute~

      Thank you! This is the first time donating my blood. The last time I went, my hemoglobin count was too low.

    Gah,that Jareth costume is too awesome.(Maybe I'm just too big a Labyrinth fan.)

    I hope I can someday make it over to Dragon Con. Looks like lots of fun.

    1. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, YOU MET JARETH!;D
    2. You look so pretty in both those corsets! I think I like the overbust one just a tad bit more. I love your outfit without the corset too!
    3. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, YOU FEED A VAMPYRE BABY! You're so brave...I have such needlephobia I get queasy just thinking about donating. It's a great thing to do though.

      Looking back at the pics, the overbust does seem to suit me better.
      Most people I know hate needles. They don't bother me for some reason. I even watched them put the needle into my skin...Maybe I'm just weird. haha

      Almost fainted when I read "watched them put the needle into my skin..." They creep me out!!You're not weird though! My friend has to get blood drawn all the time, and once she had a really inexperienced nurse do it who forgot to screw the IV bag onto the end of the needle, so the blood was siphoning out of her arm and squirting everywhere. The nurse freaked out and my friend laughed. :/

      Oh wow...That nurse was probably put on probation. I'm surprised, they get a lot of training.

    That underbust it's just amazing, good choice.
    If it is your first steel boned, go for the underbust, it's much more confortable, cause of the chest.

    I wish i had events like that here

    You have a beautiful face that was meant for a lovely dark tale!
    And how your hair treats and frames your face is enviable! Urgh! ;)
    I really hope to visit one of these cons that seem to happen frequently... I feel I am missing out on a neat experience.

      Thank you for the unique compliments! If you get the chance to go to a con, seize the opportunity. They're a lot of fun. :)

Devil's Turnaround

Noonday Missionary Baptist Church's Cemetery is also known as "Devil's Turnaround." It is located along a little back road in Kennesaw, Georgia, and most of the graves are scattered in the woods. It is easy to miss, but some of the gravestones are visible from the road. The cemetery has graves from the 1860's. I wouldn't doubt that some of its occupants were slaves at one time. Many say the land is haunted by malevolent spirits who hurl objects and make physical contact--shoving, scratching, and even biting visitors. I could understand why any lingering spirits might be upset: These grounds have been terribly neglected. Much of the graves are broken and toppled over. Some are barely visible through the overgrowth of ivy and weeds. People also say the root of the haunting may be related to rumored cult rituals performed on the property. Located right by the cemetery are huge power lines (high voltage transmission lines). I could hear them b

Let's talk Goth, Consumerism and #zerowaste

Disclaimer:   I do not claim to be an expert on low waste (or "zero waste") living —far from it . The purpose of this piece is to explore what it means to belong to the Goth subculture in the context of consumerism and making sustainable choices. There are many ways to live sustainably, but this piece will focus on reducing waste. This piece does not seek to shame or blame anyone but rather to challenge throw-away attitudes that dominate our world—and the modern Goth subculture—by offering another perspective. Respectful discussion in the comment section is welcomed.  W hen I hear the words "zero waste," I often think of people making videos to show off three months of trash fitting inside a little mason jar, their magical Whole Foods shopping trip, or even a tour of their impossibly-tiny capsule wardrobe. Search #zerowaste on Pinterest and you'll come up with pictures of tidy little beige pantries with uniform mason jars filled with chia seeds, nutri

Friday The Thirteenth Update

Happy Friday The Thirteenth, everybody. It's my two and a half year anniversary with my boyfriend, Joe, today. Unfortunately, he has work most of the day today, so we went out for lunch yesterday before he had class. We went to an Irish pub. I wore a Punk Hogwarts student outfit yesterday. I don't have pictures, but I wore my Ravenclaw tie over a black dress shirt, my black jean skirt with my "diy or die" patch I just painted, blue and black striped tights, and my trusty Doc Martens.  I love this thing. I'm a Ravenclaw, but my Hogwarts letter was lost in the mail. source Yay for home-made patches. That's the best way to go, in my opinion. I also went out for coffee with my friend, Justean, like we do every Thursday. I went to go use the restroom, and I found this on the door of the toilet stall: It's really neat looking. Below the symbol, there appears to be some writing in runes. Can anybody tell me what this means? I'd really like t
