Another #corporategoth look from yours truly. Being old enough to grow a grey streak in one's hair really helps tie these looks together.

Oh, yes. Another themed fundraiser tonight. This one's attire was, "fairies, gnomes, elves, wizards, magic animals, or whatever makes you feel magical!"

Oh my goddess. I was a Baby Bat's goth style inspiration in the early aughts. This is the best thing I've learned all year!

Tonight I went to a burlesque fundraiser for our local roller derby league. It's always fun seeing people who love each other screaming themselves hoarse in support of one another. Also, boobs.

I made this side-by-side the night I went to see Vick Vapors and Holy Water on a Tuesday in early March.

Left is when I got home from work and right is when I left for the show two hours later.

I have a couple of very old, faded, blown out tattoos on my back. You can't really tell what they are anymore, but I'm still fond of them. So, I worked with a local artist to get some new work that isn't a cover-up, but that works with the existing 30 year old ink.

Anastasia Lotus Ink was wonderful.

We're both really happy with the results of our collaboration. I might go back to have the old tattoos re-inked. I might have more willow branches added. So many options!

I met some friends at a What The Dance - Crimewave event last night and my best friend snapped this pic of me wearing my readers at the table. I think it's hilarious and I love it so much!

Second photo is a pre-event fit-check. Yes, that velvet military jacket is from around 1999.

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.
