DEADLY

I'm not sure how gothic Plaid really is but I'll try. :D  I can always dress it up with black eyeliner and these skull-y accessories. Does it work? The coat and umbrella weren't even made by the same designer. The coat-dress was made by Fission and the gacha umbrella by Third Time's the Charm! Both at Gothmas by Gaslight.



I added earrings and a ring by Maxi Gossamer. And black and purple makeup from Mock cosmetics, to make the skin more in theme.



The shoes and nails are both pretty over-the-top Goth. Spiders at Christmas? OK! ;D

CLOCKWORK LOVE

If you haven't gone yet, the Clockwork Spiral fundraiser is running through October 1st, so you still have a few more days to combine you love of charitable giving with your passion for everything steam/diesel/goth/punk/Victorian or whatever combination of those bits gets you all tingly. I love fusions and creative anachronism, so this kind of thing makes me happy. I also love that it benefits the National Kidney Foundation. Win-win!



Sometimes I get frustrated with my self-imposed guideline: I try not to use more than three pictures in a post to keep it short and sweet. Sometimes that means jettisoning the medium sized views or portraiture, so I can show details like these coggity eyes. Didn't you didn't realize I am one of the automata?



And I have to say, these boots look tough enough to survive whatever comes next, whether its a dirigible disaster or the rising of the undead next month. (October is coming, after all.) Are you ready?
