NEVERMORE

Gothic isn't always dressed down. It can also have all the sophistication of this marbled-fabric gown, embellished with fur, feathers, and jewels. (It doesn't show in these photos, but there is also a feathered fan on my tush.) I am perfectly gowned for some dark ballroom among the unseelie or the vampire clans.



And I can't tell you how impressed I am with this necklace from the Bliensen and Maitai shop. at first glance it just seems a shiny black, but under advanced lighting there is this eerie green sheen. I can't stop staring ...

Necklace: Bliensen and Maitai "Mano" (at World Goth Fair)
Wristlets: The Dark Fae "Say It With Bones" (at World Goth Fair)

SCISSORHANDS

Another sweet outfit inspired by the dark goings on over at World Goth Fair. Many of the goods like this dress and boots are equipped with texture change HUDs, which make it so much easier to coordinate an outfit in colors of your liking. I punked it up reminiscent of 1980's style with the jacket, which made me think ...



Scissorhands! Thinking about 80's punky movies made me smile. I got thinking about Winona Rider, Beetlejuice, and on and on. Ah ... Good times.

Bodysuit: SongBird "Spiderweb Body Suit" (at World Goth Fair)
Boots: The Dark Fae "Stomp the Darkness" (w/texture change HUD)(at World Goth Fair)

GOTHIC VIOLET

Whether it is spring or not in the rest of the world, in the land of Cursed it is a dark night and the World Goth Fair has opened among the mausoleums. The country has fallen under a dark enchantment and there are glowing flowers everywhere around the crypts.

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.
