Pastel Punk?

Well, I did it again.  I entered an avatar into another avatar contest.  This time, the theme was pastel punk.  At the time, I didn't know if it was an actual trend or if it was a theme made up by the contest creator.  

Without even bothering to do a quick google search, I came up with a look that I thought fell under the theme of pastel punk and entered it.  Here's my handiwork.

She looks like she could be a member of Jem and the Holograms.  The cartoon, not that heinous movie.  Anyway, as usual, I didn't place.  But as I was looking at the winners and other contestants, I noticed that most of them looked more pastel goth than pastel punk.  When I finally did do a google search on it, I came across the same thing.  

The majority of the images on the page looked more pastel goth than pastel punk.  I don't get it.  Seems like a lot of subcultures are getting pastel counterparts these days.  What's next?  Pastel hip-hop?

TIME TO GET WEIRD!!!

 

Strange Entities

Hi-hi, readers.  Today, I'll be giving 2 reviews.  The first review is for UnLuckables.  This site is part of the Little Bit Creepie series by Kristie Silva.  It has a gallery that showcases different types of UnLuckables that you can purchase as prints.

What are UnLuckables?  They're creatures that are part monster and part voodoo doll.  I find these things to be fucking adorable.  Like this little cutie below.

  

I definitely suggest checking out the site.  You might come across a UnLuckable that you'll want to take home.  On to the next review.  This one is for My Own Sorrow's latest album, "The Entity."

It's another dark masterpiece.  Some songs will make you want to dance.  Others will make you want to go out into the woods and perform a ritual.  It's a good balance.  To get your own copy of "The Entity", click here.

That's it for my double review.  Til next time.  (Note to self: Come up with a better closing phrase. XP)



Note: I did not take the picture shown in this blog post.  The image is from UnLuckables.

Pastel Goth

A couple of days ago, on the avatar site that I like to hangout on, I entered my avi into a pastel goth themed contest.  This trend isn't really my thing.  I like pastel colors.  But I prefer them in small doses.  I just entered the contest out of boredom.

Anyway, this is the look that I submitted.

I don't really know much about pastel goth.  But I think I did a nice job with this look.  Sadly, I didn't place.  Ever since they revamped the avatar contest feature earlier this year, I've only placed twice.  Eh, oh well.

My next  blog post will probably be a review of My Own Sorrow's new album.  If not, I'll just post something totally random instead.  I'm such a spazz.  Til next time.

Goth Planner Group

Hey, readers.  The Everyday Goth has just created a facebook group for spooky folks who use or like looking at planners that are decorated with a Gothic theme.  If you're interested in joining, click here.

Perky Perks

Hello, readers.  Last night, I received my perks from the Midnight, Me & Bob Macabre indiegogo campaign.  Let's take a look shall we.  The first item that I pulled from the package was this t-shirt.  Check out my mad close-up skills. XD

The other items that I got were a small print and a poster.  Both signed by the book's author and illustrator.

To get your own copy of "Midnight, Me & Bob Macabre," click here.  The book can also be found on amazon.  Spookies beware!
