What's Your Halloween Style?
Source What's Your Halloween Style? I'm all about being sexy! Spooooooky. Gory, nasty, bloody. Funny; I like to make people laugh. I don't have a style — I mix it up every year. Read more
Inspired: Cassie's Edgy Take on Crochet
Singer Cassie rocked an edgy, punk crochet look at the BET Awards last night. I love how glam the lacy pattern looks in black, and Cassie's punk-inspired half-shaved head accentuates the singer's beauty while letting fans know that she's not to be trifled with. Inspired, I set out to find some similar looks. Of course, my hero Tord Boontje would have a lamp that would fit Cassie to a T. His Read more
Website du Jour: Goths in Hot Weather
When I think of hot weather, I think skirts, sandals, and a hint of bronzer. The website Goths in Hot Weather pays tribute to dedicated "sunshine goths" who couldn't care less about the comfort of Summer fashions. They prefer black leather, clunky boots, and a drugstore's makeup aisle worth of makeup, no matter the season. The site honors the goths by featuring quite lovely photos of them Read more
FABTV: The Cure "Lullaby"
No video beats Michael Jackson's Thriller when it comes to Halloween time, and time in general — it is an eternal masterpiece. But I did my best to dig up another spooky vid. Spooky bands . . . hmmm, The Cure! No one is the goth master like Robert Smith and his teased black hair, chalky skin, and trembling voice. This is my favorite Cure song, though I kinda hate the video — it has a spider Read more
Who Wore It Better? Goth Givenchy
Here we have two girls gone goth. By now we've seen Madonna in her Givenchy goth ensemble from the Fall collection a couple times. But how does she look compared to Jennifer Lopez, who's currently vacationing with hubby Marc? While Madonna kept hers authentic with over-the-knee boots and a fur coat, Jennifer glamorized her version with circle earrings and gold jeweled sandals. Leave it to Lopez Read more
Fall Glimpse: Tales From the Dark Side
When there's salt, there's pepper. Hot and cold. Light and dark. You catch my drift. In fashion, we are always presented with another side of the coin. If Ice Ice Baby isn't your tune, try watching Tales From the Dark Side. Some of these designers always cater to the dark lords of fashion — London's Gareth Pugh, Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci. A few just felt like dipping in murky waters for Fall: Read more
Get the Look: Rustic, Glam, and Goth Living Room
With its hip black tufted leather armchair, collection of taxidermy, gilded mirror, Union Jack pillow, and toile wallpaper, this room walks the tightrope between rustic, glam, and goth. The wallpaper itself was a one-off commission, and of course, each piece of taxidermy is unique. Add to that the disco ball and child's ballet costume hanging in the corner, and the curious wall piece reflected in Read more
Crave Worthy: Black Crystal Chandelier
Granted, this black crystal chandelier ($7,500) from Neiman Marcus is a bit gothic for some people's tastes, but it still has a compellingly dark appeal. Constructed of black crystal strands that are attached to a hand-forged iron frame, this chandelier would really make your next Vampire Lestat Ball. What do you think? Appealing or no? Read more
