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

DIY Nose Chain

For those of you who've been trying to hunt down a nose chain, you probably know that they're difficult to find. Even online , there isn't a big selection. The ones I've found at a local Indian mall were pretty, but they weren't exactly what I was looking for. I finally decided it would be easier to make my own.  What you need: Any kind of necklace chain (preferably lightweight) Nose ring (you can also make a lip chain if you have a lip ring.) Earring Hook Metal loops (You might be able to find a couple on your necklace) Jewelry pliers (I used regular pliers, but it's a lot more difficult.) How To Make It: Measure out the length you want your nose chain. Using the  pliers, separate the chain to your desired length. Take the piece you need, and attach both ends to  the bigger metal loops. Attach one end to your earring hook and the other end to your nose ring. Make sure the ends are tightened enough where the

Halloween 2013

 On the morning of Halloween, I woke up to get together my costume and make-up to wear during the school and work day. I did this last year for my Jareth costume. This year, people were approaching me off the streets asking me to take photos with them (I might be on instagram)! At the sight of me, some people were taken aback and others were beaming with smiles. I was late to my first class because of the make-up, and it was completely worth it for the sake of infusing a little Halloween spirit in the campus. On Halloween evening, I decided to take my skeleton-self over to my infamous aunt's Victorian home. Her house is known for being the most elaborately decorated house on Halloween. They have different themes each year. This year it was "Dead Hat Society." It's a reference to the Red Hat Society, which is comprised of old women who get together and have tea parties. If you see where this is going, you'll know that my relatives set up a giant macabre tea
