Yeah, I totally stole that word from Goths In Hot Weather...don't tell 'kay. As the summer turns to winter (we don't get fall here) I started thinking about those clouds over head. Yes, I know gothasols are for protecting ones delicate flesh from the daystar (also stolen from GIHW), but I'm a traditionalist and my hair dye runs if it gets too wet...I'm just sayin'.

I love me a mantid. I stumbled upon the great reaper print the other day and decided that it was time for another feature for my predatory friend. I wasn't surprised to find these great and fairly steamy interpretations of the mantis floating around. Enjoy!

Is it wrong that this whole theme was developed around the casket tag bracelet? Yep, this entire selection of surreal and morbid pieces all because of that one item. I seriously need one of those.

Guess what movie I saw this weekend? Yeah and silly me already did a zombie theme last week, so you get a brief homage to the movie with a little less blood. I'd explain all the elements here, but I don't want to spoil the fun...I'm just sad I couldn't find a proper twinkie.

Dripping with jewels. Adorned with feathers. Making a statement without saying a word. That's what these pieces do. Sinful? Vain? Perhaps, but do you really care when you look this fabulous?
