Oopsie I should have published this last night. A few more things from the World Goth Fair which just closed yesterday! Find them back at the vendors' main-stores. I put together a classic black and red outfit for you.



Accessorized of course with a coffin-chair. Everyone should have a coffin-chair. And some batty jewelry. (Shouldn't goth fair be in the fall? Maybe October LOL.)

FUTURESCAPE

I just adore the concept of this suit I found over at FutureWave. Very high-fashion. The package included versions intended to fit a few different mesh bodies (which I am not wearing) and a fitted mesh version, but no "Standard Sizes" versions. Personally I usually prefer the fit of Standard Sizes, but today I am wearing the Belleza jacket version and the Maitreya skirt version. (Demo always.) Love it!



I am convinced that in the future as our world becomes more consumed by technology and modernism we will all feel more nostalgia for the natural world that sits mostly unobserved outside our windows today. I felt uncomfortable with Bauwerk's lovely techno furnishings until I slipped in a treasured painting from one of Whiskey Monday's gallery sales. It softens it so well.

LUCRETIA

So many beautiful things as Gothmas that I'm not sure I can show you all my favorites before the event closes! Today I wanted to bring you something that is neither goth nor Christmassy, but rather something perhaps for a dark Victorian fantasy.



Avatar Bizarre's purple frock isn't that dark, but I suppose you could style it that way if you like. I just wore it with some sweet birthstone jewels that VRD put into a little gacha. These eyes are intimidating aren't they? They come in a lovely rainbow of colors, at the Pin Me Down shop.



Gown: Avatar Bizarre "Lucretia" (at Gothmas by Gaslight)
Necklace: Venomous Rage "Elegant Birthstones {November}" (gacha at Gothmas by Gaslight)
Fingernails: Beautiful Freak "Dead of Winter" Applier HUD (at Gothmas by Gaslight)
Eyeshadow: Chop Shop "Soft Purple Shadow" (at Gothmas by Gaslight)
Eyes: Pin Me Down "Aeternium" (at Gothmas by Gaslight)

HOLIDAYS GONE GOTHIC

I love red and green and candy canes too, but if you like your holiday season more dark and cold, Gothmas by Gaslight is opening its doors today at Noon SLT!! Gothmas is intended to show a darker holiday, catering more to the goth, Steampunk, diesel and dark Victorian genres. I may need smelling salts.



I styled this Cloak and Gown to look a bit more antique by layering a lace shirt underneath. I couldn't decide whether I liked the Black or the White version better, so I settled on wearing the White cloak over the Black gown.



Some lovely amethyst jewels from a set by NSP, and Beautiful Freak's drippy smeary eyeliner. How tragic. I also need to show you the purple snowflakes on the back of the cloak ...

UNDER THE MOON

I love me some sparkly glitter. And Fantasy. Even in summertime. But I think next time this Fae might be spotted in swimwear and slurping up ice cream. Even fantasy creatures get hot in the summertime right? But for now, sparkly metallic gown with a metal collar that weighs eleven pounds.

FOR SOPHIE

We all know what it feels like to feel out of place, but rarely does anyone lose their life for not fitting the common mold. After Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend were killed simply for looking different, her mother founded the Sophie Lancaster Foundation to educate people not to practice hatred or intolerance of people who like to dress outside the mainstream. World Goth Fair in Second Life raises funds for this charity. If you like anything gothy, alternative, or are a fan of black and red, this fair is a Win-Win-Win!



Each shop at the Fair has at least one charity benefit item. I am wearing this dark confection from Evie's Closet, and Lassitude and Ennui's delicious bony jewels. It also made me smile that many of the vendors are also giving out little gifts for those of us who have a limited wallet; for instance these cute shoes at The Little Bat, and a nice dramatic eye shadow by Beautiful Freak. Evie Miles also put back out an old gift, the lovely black and red Halloween Fable gown, for those of you who haven't seen it already.
