Laura's Goth Trinkets

TODAY, these are my favorite things. 

Items may be set on fire or new treasures adopted at any time, with no warning.

• LOVE the Goth Bride hair clip from Hot Topic. I wear it with everything!
• The creepy jar my husband brought back from a Hippy Fest he attended. It looks like one of those containers that hold vital organs before mummification.
• My "Obsession Bag", a fabric pouch necklace that I made to keep vital objects close to my heart. The poem reads; "There is no telling how many bodies are buried in the woods of my dreams".
• Big, Big, Big BEADS!
• A poetry novelette written by Tim Burton, "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories".
• A NEW threesome of GOTH earrings I sell on Etsy. I wear these everyday.

• My other favorite hair adornment - a bloody bow attached to a meat cleaver.
• Strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing looking quit sinister in skull cupcake papers! 
• And my brand new eclectic purple disc, bat, and skull; "Elder-Goth's Choice" bracelet. Also featured in my Etsy shop and worn daily by me.....for now.

Have a Happy.

Life's Too Short to Think Unicorns Don't Have Fangs!

If for some obnoxious reason a sparkling white Unicorn did exist, on a sunny day, standing in a field of wildflowers, then there would also be a dark Unicorn with fangs drinking fire from the River Styx. 

What immortal beings think they've cornered the market on happiness and why the hell is mine wrapped in sunshine and sealed with fairy kisses. I want the black one, bound in sarcasm, staring into the abyss. (Whining as I write this.)

For every social butterfly out their, there's a melancholy loner who doesn't give a s#%*, and for every yellow sundress there is a pair of ripped fishnets.

Personally, my poetry can be disturbing, my art is on the dark side, and I am fascinated by the macabre. I love all things skulls and prefer blingy-goth jewelry that adds a little moon-glow and twinkle (I got that from my Grandmother Mary who loved "glitzy").

I watch murder, death, kill shows while sulking with my handmade plush monster named FRED (because Fred spelled backwards is DERF). I don't like the phone because I don't want to talk to you.

I buy young men's Helix t-shirts from Kohl's because they have skulls and Gothic crosses on them and I am the oldest regular customer at my local Hot Topic. (I am not ashamed, I Love Hot Topic!)

I will smirk at you if you look at me sideways while I'm decked out in my middle-aged Gothic finery, because I'm happy, as happy as a Goth can be!  ....and because I don't give a s#%*!
