No frame? No problem!

I recently acquired 2 posters! I know my walls are covered in a bunch of gothic stuff, but I like to add more things to mix it up. I recently acquired these two posters:

Different, right? :P

I've wanted that Evanescence poster for a long time now, and this HIM poster has been in my psyche for a while now too. It seemed suiting that I bought them already. I never took too much time to really LOOK at these posters until I had them on my bed and started taking photos of them. For example:

 The wallpaper in the background, the awesomeness of the bed, and the text used to spell "Evanescence".

 Then, looking at Amy, look at that hair.

 It's braided and pinned, with random white ribbons and bows throughout. I love it. Her dress too.

 It matches her hair. All tattered and messy, yet classy and beautiful. It's so frayed.

 And if you look closely, there are several safety pins keeping the sleeve attached.

 Like this big one, how did I ever miss that?

 And there is also a big tear on her (ahem) blouse. If you look underneath, she's wearing a sort of sports bra with no shirt underneath. I always thought she was wearing a corset underneath!

 Finally looking at the boots, I realized- ... I HAVE these boots! The zippers are broken, but I can lace them up all the way and still wear them, but I have these NaNa boots. They leaves hearts on the floor when you step in puddles. :3

Squee! And now, moving on to the HIM poster

 He's smoking a cigarette! How did I ever NOT notice that? And earrings too.

 He's wearing eyeshadow that matches the background! I love a man that coordinates.

 This design used is awesome too. I always saw it, but now I can SEE it.

 His jacket has fur (feathers?) around the collar.

 His fingers are pointing down to his (ahem)... pants. *blush*

 So now that I had this awesome poster, I taped it onto my door like this:

It looks... nice. But I always like to make something out of nothing. It NEEDS a frame, or... something. My door is too white and plain. I started looking around my room and I found my salvation- RIBBON!!!

 I got some thick black ribbon and started at the top middle, just draping it in a lovely way and twisting it so it curled down to the bottom, taping it along the way. Then I did the same with another piece of ribbon.

I threaded it where the first ribbon didn't go, taping it down and curling it so they overlapped in several places. The bottom was plain, so I got another length of ribbon and did this fancy little number:

 Searching along, I found a small black feathered boa that I knew I would never use, so...

MUCH better. I still think it's a bit plain, but I will add on to it later. I'm happy with this for now. Even if it isn't an official frame, it has the same quality that a frame would bring. I'm so happy with this result. How do you guys fancify your posters? <3!

Goth Walk and Easter

I was bored at home the other day, so I decided to partake in one of my most favorite past times- GOTH WALK!

I like to call this- "Life through a Spooky Parasol".

 

I past by a house with an abandoned trailer, it's so creepy and I love it!

 Poor little trash can. I hope you can find your soul someday.

 I also never realized what pretty flora there was all around where I live.

 I love these flowers, I think they're lilies? I don't know, but I like them.

 Soon I was at CVS and lo and behold- PEEPS!

 I had completely forgotten that Easter was coming up, and soon.

I kind of like Easter. I like wearing an all black outfit with a pair of these on top.

 Or maybe a pair of these...

I was just being creepy, walking around, taking photos of random things. I rather like this egg wreath. I think it could use a big black bow, but it's cute. I always have a tendency to accent pastels with black. Kind of like how my bedroom is pink and I have black posters all over the walls.

 This mug was HUGE. I think it was a dessert mug, I could put my fist into it and still have room all around the edges. It was the last mug. I liked it a lot, but it had a chip on the inside and was broken. Alas, we must depart dear mug.

I stumbled upon this box of socks and, yes, you read that tag right- they were a dollar a pair! I suppose it isn't too hard to guess which pair I bought. :P

I liked these baskets. They reminded me of drag queens with feather boas. :D

Okay, this next guy kind of confused me. I'm guessing you put batteries in it, and it chirps or something. They WERE cute. I like fluffy things, even if they pretend to be a bunny and actually aren't a bunny. LIAR!!!

 After buying some goods, I started walking home again. I was soon spotted by this familiar. I love how his eyes match the grass. :3

He was in front of a house that had this truck outside. Maybe he just thought it was dinner time.

 Obligatory Fish Face!

I soon made it home. Good thing too, the sun was beginning to break through the clouds. I had bought some things for my family for Easter, nothing too big though. I prefer lots of knick-knacks instead of big gifts anyway (besides, would you rather have a little knick-knack you don't like, or a big something you can't hide?).

 I bought these socks for my mom, and these chocolates too. They're her favorite.

I didn't know what to get my brother. He's a year older than me (25) and I doubt anything pink and fluffy with pastels would be favorable, so I got him a rubber ducky.

 These next items were for myself. ^^;

 What? I couldn't resist! The stripes... they beckon me...

 I have long ass hair, and I always have the tendency to lose these.

 And nestled nicely inside my bag are two green tea Arizona's. What bag is that you ask?

Bam! My Virgin Sister Bones bag! I'm so glad I finally got to use it. When the guy was ringing me up and I handed him this bag, his face was priceless. As if the coffin backpack and parasol weren't enough. Spread the spook! <3!

Hospital Visit

I know I promised to post more blogs and slipped, but I have a good reason. I swear!

I had to go to the hospital yesterday. I'm alright, but it was just something that needed to be done. On a Victorian-tea side note, I'm glad they changed their gowns to this lovely dusty rose pink.

Probing instruments of my demise.

Oh God, not the sink!

They gave me an injection, then they took some blood. I LOVE those little vials they draw blood with. I wanted one for myself, but the lady said no. That tape was HELL to pry off! Its like medical duct tape! :[

^ Still rocking the striped stockings. They went quite well with my dusty rose pink paper gown. Soon after, with all the poking and prodding and shots and blood, I was very hungry and shaky. I know you're not supposed to eat if you're having blood drawn, but is that really necessary? Needless to say, food was in order, and I wasn't going to eat in that horrible hospital cafeteria. Time for my favorite event- GOTH WALK!!!

Just because I was at the hospital doesn't mean I'm (un)dead and I still dressed in my gothy best (though to a lesser degree, I don't want a doctor with a syringe getting the wrong idea). There was a diner about a block away, and my gothy boots were made for stompin'.

I passed by this lovely railroad. I'm not too sure if it's still in use, it had a nice apocalyptic feel to it. I think it'd be nice to have a photoshoot here sometime. I was well past the railroad when lo and behold, the gothic sanctuary!

Denny's! The perfect place for spooky companions to commune and reflect upon their dark ways... and what a better way than with an unlimited supply of coffee!

They were having some pancake special thingy, so I ordered my usual- hashbrowns and scrambled eggs with lots of blood ketchup and pepper.

These were my pancakes. They had white chocolate chips inside with strawberries and whipped cream outside. I ate them without syrup, they were soo gooey and good!

Strawberry of doom!

And since I was alone, I brought a libel companion to peruse and contemplate with my insatiable coffee.

Uponst my reflections of life, this was the view from my booth.

After my meal, I went for a walk to closer inspect this edifice.

It had a nice feel, kind of like a hotel in Spain would have (I'm guessing).

I always wanted to stay in a huge hotel in Spain with lots of fountains and wild peacocks roaming around, kind of like that hotel in "Original Sin." I wonder what their coffee would taste like.

After some gothic curious inspections, I returned home. I received several shout outs and lingering stares by male drivers (okay seriously, WHY do men have to stare so Goddamn hard at a woman walking down the street? I'm not making a commotion, WHY must you visually rape me?!). In either case, it's good to see that the middle finger is a universal sign language symbol. :D <3!
