This is.....

Hey, readers.  Halloween season is now upon us.  Here's an affordable way to goth up your shopping experience.  While out hunting for spooky items or running general errands, use Halloween themed reusable shopping bags.  These can be found in stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Home Goods.

Besides the cool designs, the best part about these bags is that they only cost 99 cents.  So, stock up!  Here's my small collection of skelly bags.  Regular readers of my blog will probably recognize the 2 larger bags from previous posts.  Originally, I was going to cut them up and frame them as art.  But I changed my mind and decided to use them for their intended purpose.

Something Crooked this Way Comes

Hey, readers.  Got a new recommendation for you.  My friend Tricia, the illustrator behind the "Midnight, Me & Bob Macabre" book, now has a Teespring shop.  It's called Crooked House Art.  In it, she sells items that feature her creepy designs.

Here are some examples of the items that you'll find in her shop.

If sporting items with creepy art on it is your thing, swing by Crooked House Art and pick up a few things.  Be the envy of your neighborhood.

UPDATE 7/27/20: Tricia closed her shop on Teespring and opened up a new one on Redbubble.

Branching Out

Hey, readers.  Been keeping myself busy these past few weeks.  Finally got the Sarcasm and Coffee Podcast off the ground.  It focuses on entertainment news and movies/television shows.  I livestream the podcast Tuesday nights on Twitch.

If you can't make it to the livestreams, don't worry.  After I finish a stream, I upload it to my Youtube channel.  Links to both channels can be found in the header.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

What's on the Tube? 2

Hey, readers.  Welcome to another installment of What's on the Tube?  The blog segment where I talk about and share the channels of lesser known goth youtubers.  Let's get to it.

• LeahMouse: She makes whatever videos she feels like making and puts them on her channel.  Leah also has a vlog channel.  The videos on this channel are more slice of life than the ones on her main channel.
• Mads the Ghost: On her channel, Mads has videos that deal with goth, witchy things and the supernatural.
• Cadaver Kelly: She is but a mere guide to the goth subculture.  Her words, not mine. XD  Kelly's videos focus on music that relates to the scene, DIY and other topics.
• Two Broke Goths: This channel is run by Poe and Mystic.  Their videos include unboxings, DIY projects, vlogs and skits.

And so concludes this installment of What's on the Tube?  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Greeting Cards with a Twist

Hey, readers.  A few days ago, I looked over in the "Who to follow" section on Twitter and came across a profile for an online shop that specializes in handmade Gothic and alternative greeting cards.  It's called Lilactwist Designs.  All of the cards are made to order and one off designs are added regularly.  Below are examples of some of the cards that they offer.

The shop also sells alternative wrapping paper and gift tags.  So, if you're looking for greeting cards that aren't your standard Hallmark fare, I suggest checking out Lilactwist Designs.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Project Goth Playlist Tag

Hey, readers.  I got tagged by The House of Wyvern to do the Project Goth Playlist Tag.  Here's a quick rundown of how the tag works.

• Suggest a band.
• How did you find the band?
• Additional Info: band's history, albums, etc.
• Suggested tracks.

The band that I picked for this tag is Midnight Calling.  I found out about them via a Vampire Freaks band invite.  The gothic rock/darkwave band was formed back in October 2016 by Yasmin and Scott.  Their sound combines 80's darkwave ambience, post-punk guitar riffs and driving bass lines.  Album is still in the works.

Two tracks that I suggest checking out are Howl to the Moon and Turn on the Light.  These tracks give a feel for Midnight Calling's sound.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Insane Footwear

Hey, readers.  Back with more Etsy talk.  The shop that I'll be talking about today is called Zombie Peepshow.  It's a one person operation run by Kayla Stojek.  I found out about it through The House of Wyvern, when they did a review of one of her shoe designs.

Man, these shoes are a...ma...zing!  Kayla is giving Irregular Choice a run for their money.  Her design influences come from goth, punk, horror and kawaii culture.  Check out some examples of her kick-ass work below.

Again, a...ma...zing!  If I saw this woman on the street, I'd probably throw my wallet at her.  If out there footwear is your thing, then check out Zombie Peepshow.  Til next time.
