There's an audio clip trending that says, "There is a bird somewhere in a white person's home." And when I stumbled upon the trend, I looked over my shoulder and said to myself, "Well, yes, but..."

After 6 months of looking at permanent jewelry vendors at markets and never finding black chain as an option, I talked to a local vendor to do a custom order back in December. Meg at The Little Refinery sourced a 2mm black stainless steel chain and oxidized a silver jump ring for me. Everything finally came together today and I love the result! Highly recommend.

One of my coworkers made the sweetest goth Valentine for me. I'll treasure it always.

Sometimes you find yourself in the background of an event photographer's set. This was at a goth event with two local DJs in December.

I tried a darker/bolder eyebrow gel than usual last night. I can't tell if it looks bananas or if it's just darker than I'm used to seeing on myself.

Opinions?

One half of the band Dark Chisme came up from Seattle to DJ a Latin Darkwave set for What The Dance at The Shakedown on Friday night. It was well attended, the music was great, and I danced until my knees got sore.

If you're in the United States, it's a good time to appreciate every culturally diverse offering in your city. Show up.

I'm kind of in love with these pants, so I'm happy to report they were a hit with several women at the party I attended tonight.

Paid a short visit to a local goth night to catch up with an old friend tonight.

Gonna head out to a little meetup with a bunch of people I used to hang out with at the goth club 30 years ago.

It's gonna be interresting to see how those that disappeared into civilian life are holding up.

The sweet guy at the fine jewelry counter at Macy's jokingly showed me the Christmas purses when they didn't have what I was looking for.

Mo: I'm not ready to look at Christmas yet.

Macy's: Right? Let me have Halloween first. It's probably my favorite.

Mo: It's hands down my favorite.

Macy's: You have that vibe.

Best compliment for an #ElderGoth ever!
