Another Lolcomment!

So like. On this post about having "horse furries fucking" as a searchword that brings up my blog, somehow, I got this comment. It went into spam, because it's the same person as the last few.

"No, you must be a complete moron. You seem like the kind of person who would vote greens, and only fucktards who hate the country do that.

Pull your finger out of your arse, and stop being so narrow minded. Your critical thinking is severely impaired, perhaps if you maybe properly considered another view besides your own for once you might be able to write without sounding like a bias, well, fucktard.

Use your stupid hipster buzz words all you like, "LIKE, OMG RIGHT SO TOTALLY USING MORONIC TERMINOLOGY TO BE IRONIC OMG IM TOTALLY ORIGINAL AND NOT A MORON DERRRRRRRP!!!!!!"

Fuck. I wish I never stumbled upon this bogus piece of crap blog. Its the literary equivalent to a brain aneurism."


Lol, what? Okay.

The Green Fairy and Sarah know exactly who it is. The hilarious part is that it's a hipster. And I have no fucking idea what they're going on about. Or why they're saying this, about a screen shot that the rest of you found pretty funny.


Also, tyhe "voting green" part was great. OMGZ I HATE AUSTRALIA.  I HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT. No, I just like my economy to be permanent and stable, not temporary and greedy.


For another thing, if you want to be a good troll, get a profile that has had more than one view - that I gave it - and maybe change the way you set out your sentences. OH and pick a post relevant to your comment. Because somehow I doubt this has anything to do with furries and the confusion as to how this google search lead them to my blog.


As for not being able to see anyone else's point of view - why to people keep saying this? And it's always when I'm defending someone. Oh, right - because saying someone is biased and can't see a point of view other than their own is used to discredit your opposition in a political debate. That'd be why! Any other illusions of me being "unable to see anyone else's point of view" probably comes from, oh, I don't know, that disability I have.


I hardly see how any of the words in the previous post were "hipster buzzwords". At all. It was a screenshot from my blog's stats. And it was funny. My friends, including one who commented on the page, are all furries and thought it was pretty great too.


To conclude: you're full of shit, baby, and you have barely a leg to fuck yourself with.


Don't let your obvious extreme egotism get you down though! You keep on plagurising people for your own little sorry blog, honey.

Human and Animal Rights in Cosmetics and Consumerism

So yesterday, I found out something on a Temptalia comment thread about brands that you boycott and why. Someone posted saying they don't buy from Proctor&Gamble (L'Oreal, Rimmel, Maybelline, Garnier, etc etc) and Estee Lauder (MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, and countless others). I thought, yeah, animal testing, that's why, nothing unusual.

But I was wrong. The reasons she boycotted these parent companies included animal cruelty, but what shocked me was this: Both parent companies (the biggest cosmetics companies in the world) support Israel's occupation and supression of Palestine.

This shook me a lot. Two companies countless people buy from support the human rights crisis supported by every western nation on the planet. These two companies outwardly support the terrorism brought to the Palestinian people from the Israeli government, the bombings, the shootings, the slaughter - because Israel thinks that they are somehow entitled to land that they really aren't. Israel have been being funded by the US and greedy corporations since this whole thing started.

Don't bother emailing them about this - they'll be as vague as they are on animal testing. The profound disgust I felt when I went into a store today and saw women fawning over these brands. They don't know. They don't know the human tragedy that they are supporting. They don't know the animal cruelty they are funding.

Speaking of, animal testing. You need to be aware, as consumers, what you are buying and what you are supporting. This goes far beyond cosmetics. Have you ever bought Iams pet food? You're going to wish you hadn't. Other things on that informative Cracked list are: Chiquita bananas, coca-cola, Dole bananas and Nestle Quik.

Have you ever heard the term "blood diamond"? Most likely, any diamond purchased in the last 50 years has funded murder, dictatorship, rape and terror through Africa, unless they are marked "synthetic diamond".

While you probably thought this was going to be a huge post, I'm simply going to end it here: Buy indie, buy local, support small business, grow your own and be a responsible consumer. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and one day, you can make a difference to the way humans and animals are treated around the world.

Filthy Victorians 2012 - Moving Start Date

Hey you lot. So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to change the start date. Due to moving, clothing and health troubles and the fact I had three corsets mailed this year but one isn't suitable for everyday, one is shit and one never arrived, I'm going to have to change the start date of next year from January 1st to Feburary, probably between the 15th and 29th.

Really sorry about this, but I'm going to be making a F+F order for some skirts and dresses just after Christmas, as well as getting some new corsets.

You are all welcome to start at the original date, but I'm afraid that due to circumstances I cannot.

Hoping for earlier than that, but that's a worst-case scenario.

Thanks for understanding, guys. And if you don't, fuck you, you do now.

New Page - Minecraft Server!

If you dare a gander up under the blog banner, you would notice this page - a page about our Minecraft server. It also has rules, guys, because I created that thing so Shaun, Heather and I could play together, and we still want to, so we are the lords of Buttlandia. And yes, that's really what I called our minecraft world. Mkay? Mkay. come on guys don't act that surprised

Anyway, it's open to all my goth community folks. What's the bet I could get my dear old Gran to join in? :P (she's pretty hardcore - her cooking blog is here, by the way, where she will tell you ways to make good things to put in your face)


If you want to play, drop me your username either here on this post, or on the Minecraft page, so I can add you to the list of people that can use teleport. It's pretty much the only way to find your way out of caves.


The seed we're on at the moment, by the way, is "I wanna be the very best" -quotations. Great for singleplayer as well.


Come down and join the circus, guise. <3

Review - Illamasqua "Freak" Perfume

So, with an online order of Illamasqua I got, they sent me a sample of their perfume. Now, in store in Australia, "Freak" will set you back...$149. Online, It's £59.00, which is around $90 australian.


Expensive, I know. However, it does have a snail on the bottle. So...worth it!

Anyway, the bottle they sent me was maybe....5mL? It's basically worth its weight in gold, in any case. Here are some pictures.

This says:

"I am
Exquisitely rare
Mysterious midnight blooms
Unfurling only for Luna's light
Datura, Black Davana, Poison Hemlock
and Queen of the Night
A covert gathering of forbidden flowers
Brought together in love's darkest hour
I am magical, timeless
Utterly unforgettable
I am bottled midnight
I am
Freak"

 I like this little poem. n.n

So as you can see, it's small. But it's still generous, along with the vour 15% off coupons I received with my order! (that need to be used soon...)


The actual smell of the perfume is...well, I don't normally like perfume, but this smells great. Here's how the website describes it:

TOP NOTES
Black Davana, Opium Flower and Belladonna bewitch the senses into uncontrollable lust and passion.
HEART NOTES
Poison Hemlock, Datura and Queen of the Night blossom, caress and kiss.
BASE NOTES
Aromas of Frankincense, Oud and Myrrh, addictively mesmerises and captures the senses.

So, it smells like that, I guess? Being from Australia, I'm unsure. However, it smells FUCKING GREAT. At first, when I sampled it in store, it took me a few seconds to get used to it. After that, I realised it smells like...well, kind of a bit like an old lady perfume, in the best possible way. It's also very Victorian, as opium, belladonna, frankinscence, myrhh and all the rest were very popular fragrances.

I find it lasts pretty well, but after a couple of hours in the city, with people breathing smoke all over me (I swear to god, smoking on the street should be illegal - more on that later), it's vanished. Sad forever!

I think the branding of this perfume, from the scent, to the packaging, to the little poem, is very in line with Illamasqua's company marketing. I think they did a great job making something exquisite, unique and quite luxurious.

Either way, if you can afford a bottle of Freak, buy some! I love it, and want more! So expensive though.

A Rant About Anti-Obamaism - Your Comments Needed!

Important questions for you guys here. This is, of course, a response to this article, that a friend (who, I am sad to say, is literally losing her mind - more on this later.) TL;DR on that article: basically OH-BAH-MAH AND DER HOHMOHSEXZUALZ ARE GUNNA SOCIALSM AMERICA DERK DERK DERK.

Like, literally, that's basically it. So, let's break it down through the huge pile of buzzwords in this article.

Could 2012 Be America's Last Presidential Election?

Alright, so, with a title like that, you could think it was about DA END OF DA WRLD (which, again, I will touch on that bullshittery later), but, no, it's about the evil brown man destroying America by trying to give universal healthcare to the people and taxing the billionaires. Coz that's how it works.

"I’ve asked this question to a number of people and most them respond as if I were crazy for asking."

Probably a reason for that, bro.

"They tell me that this is America, land of the free and that there will always be elections.  I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets re-elected in 2012, that this just may be America’s last election."

 Quote from reputable sources, please. No - no, Fox is not a source! No! Bad! Bad political blogger! Down! Don't make me get the squirt bottle!

"In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn’t just my opinion."

 ....
>Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn’t just my opinion.
> carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn’t just my opinion.
> political take over by his Marxist regime
> his Marxist
> his
> Marxist
>.....

That word does not mean what you think it means! Holy fucking shit! There needs to be a Godwin's law for SOSHALISMZ. In fact, I am creating one. Lovett's Law - "accusing someone of or otherwise bringing up socialism, communism, marxism or similar politics in a place where it does not belong, is used incorrectly or otherwise used to justify hate will result in an automatic lose, and being mauled to death by a thousand cats."

(Godwin's Law, btw, is when people randomly bring up Hitler analogies and comparisons in an arguments for no apparent reason.)

Enough with inventing new debate laws, and on with the bullshit.

"Popular radio talk show host Michael Savage is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history.  Savage warned his listeners this week saying,"

 Of course! Being from Russia (a country that was basically communist in name only) AUTOMATICALLY MEANS HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. You retard.

“I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we’re going to be living in something along the lines of – people say Europe. I don’t believe it’s going to be like Europe – I think it will be closer to Chavez’s South American dictatorship."

Yeah, that'll happen when you give people basic rights. They get oppressed.

"“This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history.  It’s not politics as usual. It’s not just Democrats versus Republicans.  Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country."

Alright, mate, let's leave it to the comment section of this blog post. How many of you are American, and support universal healthcare, LBGTQ rights (including not burning gay people at the stake for being born that way), and similar ideas (including proper Marxism)? I know for a fact that my Australian readership is basically on the side of proper Marxism, rights for all, and not letting an infant die because the parents are poor.

"They don’t want government-sponsored opinions.  They only want government-sponsored ‘Pravda.’  That’s exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis – nothing but the government-media complex party line.  Pay attention.  Your freedom may be at stake.”

Look, you are imagining a threat here. This is what we call a pretend first-world problem. Your life is so devoid of danger, you promptly make shit up to scare yourself with. And you seem to think that "sponsored opinions" isn't what you get with every elected government.

Oh, wait! Our freedom is at stake?! Oh shit, u guise! The brown man is going to take away your rights through letting people get married! Seriously, how the fuck is your freedom under threat through people getting more rights? I don't get it. What am I supposed to be scared of, again?

 "Over the weekend, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people in an Iowa coffee house that,"

Oh, Christ. Rick Santorum is pretty much a Godwin on his own. The man is a lolfactory of the worst kind.

  "“Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman.  He knows exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. He sees America differently than you see America."

Exactly! He sees America very different to fearmongering, gun-toting assholes! Wait, what?

"[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven’t seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That’s his hero.  What makes America great [in Obama’s mind is that] the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else.  No, that’s what makes America, France.”

Revisionist history and revisionist current politics? What the shit? Both Roosevelts were pretty great, and France is quite amazing politically. So what the shit are you going on about? I literally have no fucking clue what you're getting at.

And "takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else"? This is a good thing. Without this system we would basically have democratic feudalism. Which we have, but to a lesser extent. What's wrong, Rick? Worried the govmit is going to tax you just as much as they tax poor people?! 

"With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government.  Think about it."

Right, u guise. You heard the man. Let's take a moment to think about it.

...

Yep. Still makes no sense.

"Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office"

 Yes. Because that's how it works. That's how you make laws. Also, sorry? Purposely escalated the economic crisis? Which political party, made mostly of millionaires, is constantly blocking taxing the extremely rich, when doing so would pretty much solve the financial problems? Which party constantly bitches about RAIZED TAXEZ (whilst not having any tax themselves)? That'd be the Republican party. Please, stop your bitching.

"The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country.  As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation."

Firstly, no. The law doesn't work that way. Secondly, raising taxes is how you fix debt. Seriously, where did you go to pick this bullshit up? You want the government to not raise taxes, and fix debt?

Alright, genius. Tell us how. No, really, we're waiting. "cutting spending" isn't enough - unless you cut military spending. But you can't do that, right? Because of the Nazis Japanese Russians Vietnamese Russians Russians Nazis Chinese Koreans French Russians Time Lords Brown Mooslum Ter'rists, right, guise?

"The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms.  The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama’s favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law."

And I say
Bounce a graviton particle beam
Off the main deflector dish
That's the way we do things, lad
We're making shit up as we wish...

  "He’s already changing the face of America’s military.  Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military."

I don't get why this is a problem, either. If open heterosexuals are allowed to serve, why not open homosexuals? And causing conservative leaders to leave? Good! You don't want intolerant assholes in your military. They're the guys who open fire on Muslim civilians from a helicopter on the basis that "they're all terrorists".

 "Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems.  We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold."

Christ, "Muslim" should be a Godwin too. Like gay people and women, Muslims are people too. Their religion does not dictate national pride. Most American Muslims are patriotic and love their country. Your basis for fear is sick, not to mention unfounded. I'll say it slowly, love - There is no terrorist threat.

"Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator.  When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and used an executive order to accomplish it anyway.  This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress.  He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government."

Not like George Bushes! Not like every American president in history! Christ. Executive power comes with the job. It's not "dictatorship". It's the republic you hold so near and dear while you cry and masturbate to sleep every night.

"He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses.  Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won’t have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro."

This is simply not the case. You also have no idea about world politics, past and present. You don't know about left- and right-wing differences. You clearly don't know that Hitler was a conservative extremist (like you!) and you clearly, clearly think that if anyone tells you different, they're wrong stinky heads and blind and that if you stick your fingers in your ears and shout "la la la" that all the pesky facts will go away.

"For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future and that Obama is overwhelmingly defeated in 2012.  Otherwise, heaven help us."

For the sake of your children and grandchildren, I hope that they wake up and realise what a fearmongering, ill-informed, uneducated extremist that you are, and that they cut off all ties with you.

This isn't a case of "believe what you like". I sincerely think that the author of the article, and many republican candidates (including Hermain Cain - a rapist, guys) are dangerous extremists. They claim to love America pretty hard, but as an outsider looking in, they are positively doing more to destroy the US than anything else, ever. Apparently allergic to progress, science and facts, they cannot be allowed outside an asylum. 

What I fear, as an outsider whose country blindly follows the US wherever it may go, is what will happen to my own country (that is facing a looming election itself). I am worried, not for my sake, but for the sakes of LGBTQ youth after me, for alternatives, for the poor and the sick and the needy. These are worrying times, folks, but not in the way that the writer of "Could 2012 Be The Last Presidential Election" would have you believe.

Please share your opinions on the sheer stupidity condensed in this article. Commenting on this also means you pledge allegiance to Lovett's Law.

Anoia be with your kitchen drawer.

Shopping vs Bank:

And the first round goes to....shopping!

Mind you, we did buy things we needed. And, um, we went to a games arcade.

I bought a new undercorset slip, because - and here's the most awesome part - I am finally beginning my regime of tightlacing. I tried to sleep in my corset last night but I was having some pre-seizure pains from cigarette smoke.

We also bought a camera, which will get its trial run today! YAAAY.

Also, for another awesome thing, we invested in Proactive yesterday. I need clear skin for next year.

Not much else going on, but a better post will happen later.

Hello Interblags, This Is Your Cat

Hey you lot. Things have been hectic the past week or so! On Sunday, Growlithe and I went to Sydney, where we spent the afternoon in Luna Park, and then on Monday, we caught the train back to Melbourne! My Illamasqua and Morgana Minerals mix powder foundation lasted my two-hour nap on Growlithe's lap using Shaun as a pillow.

The train ride was great! Really quiet, beautiful countryside and all!

However, Tuesday sort of really sucked. Because I hadn't eaten for days, pretty much, I managed to get extremely ill that day. That day was also the day we had to go to Ikea to buy a bed. So Growlithe went upstairs to make a purchase, and I laid on the couch in the foyer (they have those for your convenience. I love ikea!). After about fifty minutes, I lumbered to the bathroom to violently throw up. But my makeup was still in place - I tweeted this about an hour later, touting it to be a christmas miracle. I felt a lot better, and went to find Growlithe.


And there, between the bedsheets and the flat-packed bathrooms were....some goths! I wish I had gotten a picture, these girls were gorgeous! I turned quite red when one of them complimented me. I also found a small fluffy white rat toy, which I brought home.

We came home, where we slept in the lounge, since our bed wasn't delivered til the next day. One of our housemates, Mini, was really worried about me, because I wasn't hungry! What a sweetheart.

We put our bed together yesterday, and I outfitted it in some awesome candystripe sheets, which I did think to photo before we laid down and trashed it by being wiggly. Unfortunately I can't upload it right now. </3 Soons, my pets, with all my photos of the baby kittens~! (Speaking of which, my babies need homes. Anyone want to share their homes with my awesome cats?)

Today we lazed around and did household chores. Not much happened - mostly Minecraft and we watched some more of hour Hatventures: Skylands urtoob series we're into. Growlithe went out and bought a kettle, too, and a powerboard so we can play our wii - or as we call it, our Woo. Along with a "goff woo remote with a nunchuck, because you're so goff".

Anyway, I have had a very persistant headache the last few days. Hopefully it will clear up pretty soon and I'll feel a bit better, and the fresh vegetables I have been eating have helped a lot. 

I am desperately trying to get ready for the Filthy Victorians, without much luck - with the sewing machine so far away, my eyesight getting worse and funds running low, I am fearing I might have to push back the start date a month.

Would you guys hate me if I had to? Life is getting really hectic and I haven't had the opportunity to blog much at all, which I hate, and I need to go out and do a good load of skirt-shopping!

Missing you all desperately, hoping to get some good, interesting blogging done soon!


On a final note, blog lurker and commenter Miss Gothy Girl and I met up a few weeks ago for shopping at Gallery Serpentine. We should never be put together again - we are TERRIBLE for each other! She has started a blog at my insistance - called Clockwork Bats ! Go and follow her, and hopefully she can get this seamstress business underway! I have to say, Nikki is awesome and so much fun! Hoping to stage a get-together when she is down after Christmas.


Much love, and missing you all!

NEW PROFILE PICTURE

It's me and my cousin Ash. Well, not my cousin Ash, my second cousin's ex girlfriend who has his kids.

But she's 9000 times cooler than my cousins.

So there you go.

Help Me Pick A Song

I'm having a hankering to work on a new song. Because of my sick I haven't been practising my vocals lately, so I need a good bit of vocal gymnastics to get me back into line. Here's my selection, but please suggest.

This one will be very hard but worth it, it's an excellent piece.

 To be honest, ANY voltaire song will be good, but I thought this one would be a good place to start? :P

the Portal games have to be some of my favourite games in term of story, humour, and music. O Cara Mia is a beautiful song, and this has to be my favourite rendition of it.

"Johanna (reprise)" is a beautiful song, and I adore it so very much.

And just for fun, here'sa song I'm really into at the moment. The Guiness Book of Records notes this as the highest vocal note in classical music.

Whichever I do will be eventually recorded and posted up here for the world to be confused about.

So please do choose or suggest. I need halp!

Filthy Vixtorians 2012 - Live Journal Up! (and a slight bitch)

We now have an LJ! A grand total of fuck all is posted there, so it's up to you guys to post your shit!

Filthy Victorians 2012 LJ

It is open to every and all, no account needed (although anon posts will be regulated just to filter trollin' and spam). Needing some admins and such, so jump on over.

For now, though, I'm going to go to sleep. It hasn't been a good day, really, and I got threatened by my friend's brother. It was hilarious. He pulled the whole "freak, hallowe'en is over" insult (and threatened to "bash my face in", which is - and this is the great part, you'll love this - illegal). My heart is fucking broken, man.

The funny thing is, he had the nerve to call me a freak, when his facebook photo is of him wearing a ladies' blouse and cutoff skinny jeans. He also has a feminine haircut. When you start calling a goth a freak, you should probably look in the mirror first, dear.

Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to dress like that. I'm saying it's off from the cultural norm. You know...like the goth subculture. Nice one, bucko. Nice one.

I Hate Attention Whores - Rageful 200th Post

This may sound hypocritical coming from a blogger (what with a blog being the socially acceptable form of masturbation), but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about using depression to get sympathy, and it seems only fitting that my 200th post on this blog is a rage post, with some Harry Potter jokes in.

So here's the particular incident that is fulling my anger at this. I'm not just "raeg". I am legitimately furious about this twisted thing. Ctrl+click on them to view separately them if they distend your screen or just sort of "what" at you.

for some reason my name-editing did not work on the last guy.
let's ignore that.

BUT THEN

Seriously, by about here I have no fucking clue what is happening.

Now, here's the thing - Channy is my age. She's 16/17. Clearly, the world WILL END if someone does not like her. My responses were big-ish, so I will simply quote them here.

"So you posted a status pretending you were dead and then going BUT WAIT is fucking stupid and sort of, you know, sick. If you're going through a "tough time with friends", realise what is causing it and then either stop what you are doing or, and here's the tricky part, realise those people are cunts anyway and move the fuck on with your life. Like a reasonable young adult."

"Here's the thing, sunshine - one of my best friends killed herself this year, and none of us knew until after her funeral had taken place, and to this day we do not know why, or what even happened. The fact you are using suicide as a way to say "I have a desperate need for attention that cannot be filled through legitimate means" is sick, and you are an idiot and a twisted fucker if you think that's okay. Your world is not going to end because of "friend issues" in *highschool* for christ's sake.

You are desperate for validation, and so you post about this kind of shit. "Like if you care about me"? Really? Do you know what really drives people away? Desperation.

And now a helpful interlude from Heather, a girl younger than you with actual legit mental illness, who has made attempts on her own life due to the severity of her illness. "That's fucking stupid and you should tell her she's an insensitive idiot who should be deserted by everyone for taking emotional advantage of people who are supposed to be her friends.""

If you are having a problem - an actual, real problem - this is exactly what you do not do. You need to get help, not post bullshit on social networking sites - especially where your parents can see. (I want to point out this is probably why Channy has not responded - she has been found out by her kind-of-an-arse-but-well-meaning-father and quite-lovely-but-needs-a-spine mother) It's a terrible idea, and you can't expect things to get better when you are actively doing things to ruin them.

After Chinchilla took her own life, I felt like I had lost a part of myself. She was one of my best friends on the planet, and a bigger influence on me than you can ever imagine. The fact that this girl is using suicide to gain sympathy for her upper-middle-class white girl problems makes me so angry that I feel sick. She decides it's acceptable to draw attention to herself like this, saying she's SOOO ALOOOONE and begging for people's attention while her family have enough food and money for the rest of their suburb to live on for weeks. She has two expensive laptops, a flat screen TV in her room bigger than the one in our lounge room, a PS3, an iPhone, an Xbox, three-hundred-dollar collectable dolls, and no worries for her future, and yet she threatens suicide because of highschool friend problems.

When I was younger, I had some very severe mental problems. I had severe and psychotic depression, post-traumatic stress, was a victim of horrible bullying, and my aspergers was undiagnosed. I pulled some of this shit myself (we all do at some point), but less "lyk dis status if u car abut me" and more "Something is very wrong. Can someone please, please help me?" and people did. Once my trauma began to die down, I found it a lot easier to get on with shit and do what needed doing. No, I'm not perfect, and there are things I do wrong, but I don't beg for attention like an abandoned spaniel because my group of friends at school were sort of dicks.

If you have a problem, fix it. Otherwise, don't complain when things turn to shit.

Much love.
(ps: creating the Filthy Victorians LJ tonight. will facebook, twitter and blog the link when it is done) 

Still Damn Hiatus (+new poll)

I AM STILL ALIVE. I am sorry for all my bad-bloggerness. As it turns out, my computer commited suicide. Between Mr. Growlithe and new kittens, I haven't had much of a chance to blog. I should get back to schedule soon enough, but for now, new poll time.

Old poll results:

Where are you from?
UK: 14
West Europe: 12
East Europe: 6
USA: 29
Canada: 1
Australasia: 8
Gallifrey: 11.


Clearly not everyone voted, but thanks to those who did and good to know there are other Time Lords out there!


New poll is this: What's your favourite cosmetics brand? Feel free to comment on this post letting me know why, or what brand isn't listed that you love. Shaun's computer doesn't have bluetooth, so this post cannot be ended with a picture of kittuns.


However, they all have names now: Beetlejuice, Sybil, Cheery, and Visit-the-Ungodly-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets (Washpot, for short). Pictures soon, much love!

Everything Goes Wrong. Again.

So, my computer did not survive being dropped. I have to take it to get fixed tomorrow. I have my sister's computer but it's in pretty bad shape!

I will return on Wednesday, if not for a post of kitten pictures while I am at Heather's, but if my computer is easily fixed, I should be back to regular blagging by then. I shall receive an Mr. Growlithe soon. Hooray!

For now, have this amazing clip.

And also this, of everyone's favourite cat, Maru.

Quick Swatcheroo!

So I got my Morgana Minerals stuff on Friday when I came home. I'll post some more pictures and a proper review and what I've been up to when my internet stops being shit. Probably on Wednesday. Here are some quick pictures. My initial thought is that it's all amazing, and you should pop out and buy some. I also got a foundation (after i'd spent $55 on Illamasqua...) and lipgloss. I'm not a lipgloss person, but this one was called "fangtastic" so i bought it. No pictures though. Because it's in the bathroom and I am not.

Top: Lipstick, "Love Lies Bleeding", "Licorice"
Bottom: Lip Balm, "Hathor", "Countess Bathory"

Liptsick tube!

Me in the black lipstick.
Sitting on bed watchming movies=occasion for black lips.

 More coming in the next few days!

Lipstick is $12 US, and lip blam is $7 US.

Lil Bit O' This And That - Outfit/Makeup Post

So this evening, I took a train and tram out to Fitzroy, to a place called Libation, to watch Growlithe's ex girlfriend Jess play with another girl whose name I shamefully forget, but have met before at an Occupy protest. (Everyone got really confused when I mentioned that Jess used to date my boyfriend, and I was there to see her. I'm not quite sure why being friends with his ex is such a weird thing.)

Jess' mum Jo was there too. Jo is awesome. She is also scared of daleks - a wise fear.

Anyway, I went sort of Sweeney Todd and Lillian Low inspired. If you don't know who Lillian is, well, she's an awesome. That should narrow it down. Anyway, here goes.

 The Crap I Wore On My Face:

-Missha Perfect Cover #13

-My New $55 Illamasqua pressed powder in PF005 (recommend it to anyone! I walked through the rain to get home, and aside from where my glasses were, it was still in place!)

-Manic Panic red eyeshadow as blush

-Nabi blush in "Lilac" (It's not lilac. It's pink.)

-Manic Panic gel liner

-Manic Panic Raven eyeshadow

-Cheapo Brand liquid liner

-Manic Panic lipstic in "Vampire Red".

My makeup stayed in place regardless of how goddamn hot I got. And I got very, very hot! Rain+train+people=lotsofheat. But I'd like to think that the windows fogged up because I got on the tram.

I think the staying power of my makeup was largely due to the Illamasqua. I will review it at length later, but right now, buy it. Buy it from their online store here, since it's fucking expensive in Australia ($35 online, $55 in store, but I was desperate for powder).

If you can afford it, in any case, get the hell out of it.

Onto the outfit.

As far as you need to be concerned, my face
never happened in this pic.

 -My ever-faithful Lovechild Boudoir skirt, pinned up at the front. I have decided I love this look.

-Blouse, by Anna House (which is a cheapo Loli brand. It was $15 from the Lolita shop in Fitzroy)

-Stockings are Leg Avenue

-Bloomers (unseen) are Gallery, of course!

-Corset is Gallery

-Crow jacket nicked from my sister.

And although I have no photographic evidence, I wore my Doc Martens.

I loved this outfit so goddamn hard. I felt so...tall. I'm not sure why. All together, it was a Lillian Low meets Sweeney Todd feel, at least to me. Screw your opinions, guise, it's all about how I feeeeeel.

 As you guise know, whenever I tease my hair it is a war to get it back to normal. Here's the "omg home" pic, and the "back to normal" pic.

 And a good night was had by all!

Mini-Post - Do You Like Nice Undies?

I know I do. Here's an awesome website that sells vintage reproduction underwear. Shop away.

Cat Pictures From Home

So, I'm kind of back! Hooray!

My sister sent me photos of the cats in the last few days, which is the best kind of care package. She got the kittens out from where they were stashed under my bed, and here are the little puddingtrolls.

AW

And also extra pics of Cullycats.

"We are not amused."

Hopefully this complies with Xanthy's Successful Blogging Tips.

I will get photos of house and housemates up soon. Am heading home on Friday for the boycats and my stuff before Growlithe and I shuffle on in here to our home. Heading out to a friend's gig tonight in Fitzroy, if anyone wants to come.

Bit Of A Hiatus

I'm alive, don't worry. If you're wondering what the fuck I've been up to this last week, I've been with the Green Fairy. We have been endlessly amusing one another, don't you worry about that! I am sort of stranded in melbourne, and should be moving into a new house quite soon, will update you all soon!


Just a quick post after catching up on blogs, stalking the Ultimate Goth Guide (and leaving painfully long comments) and before a good ol' sleep. I probably have a lot of typos in my comments tonight, since Fairy and I went and bought some awesomely tacky horror movies and somehow made it through a bottle of sprite and a bottle of fanta (and half a bottle of vodka) in two days. 8>


Much love. If you need me or have any questions, email me with the contact form over ~~~> yonder. I will receive it nearly immediately and will respond. Facebook ( facebook.com/suddenly.cats ) and twitter (@19thCKitty) are also a good way to get in contact with me quick.


Photos of my time here in Melbourne coming soon.


Hiatus:on
Cat:out!

Does This Mean I'm Famous?

Woo, I got my first "WE WILL GIVE YOU SHIT FOR ENDORSEMENTS" email today.

Hello. Our Clothing website, offering more than 80000 styles, 
http://Risingtaste.com/?c is interested in a cooperation with you and your blog. 
If you create a post about our Online Store you will get a coupon worth 10 USD - 
500 USD. Depends on the traffic your website gets. If you are interested and 
your blog gets more than 1000+ Visitors a day please do not answer to this email 
but fill out this form: ---------. If you blog gets 
less than 1000+ visitors a day, no problem, you can still get a coupon here: 
-------. If you are not interested we are sorry 
about this email and wish you a good day. Regards. Peter Klein. 
http://Risingtaste.com/?c

Firstly, no, I did not that this up. I wouldn't. That's just shit, and it would be lying to you guys about what I really think. Getting stuff for free to review and form your own opinions on to give people is fine. Being paid (even in coupons) to endorse a site or product you don't know anything about is just assfacery.

THAT BEING SAID, some of their things are really cute. Yes, it's a chinese wholesaler. That said, in Australia things are sold at a literally 400% markup (sometimes higher), and therefore I have nothing against buying from them.

Especially when they sell shoes like these.

And this jacket (helpfully spotted by heather!)

So if you're like me, and are religiously opposed to paying $50 for a blouse (fuck you too, Australia) and $90 for some heels, then maybe these people could be for you. In any case, I will probably be buying a few things from them.

Again: I did NOT take these people up on their offer. I would not do that, and I feel like it would be a breach of trust. I earn nothing from any reviews and endorsements I get.

Bloody Mary - A Trip Dowm Memory Lane

I have mentioned this brand before, but it only occured to me today to sort of...you know, google them. Anyway, imagine this:

Wee Kitty, but a young babybat, grasps hold of the first makeup of her life - and the brand emblazened on it? Bloody Mary.

Bloody Mary, I have to say, is an excellent place for someone to start with the goth makeup. It is brilliant quality (since the brand targets the special effects and movie industry), and although their Goth range may have some hilbearious mallgothery, it also has one of my favourite things: Their lipstick.

Their "Deepest Of Blood Red" lipstick was the first I ever owned, and the favourite colour of any lipstick I have ever had. The closest dupe I've found is Manic Panic "Blood Red", but the BM price is a grand...$3.95.


Other good things they sell are their eyeshadows. They're just fantastic. They also have bright-coloured mascara and, the holy grail, white mascara. Their white powders and cream foundations are to die for.


For Zombie Walkers, they sell all kinds of zombie special effects things. Like, literally everything. They have about fifteen different kinds of blood hanging around.


What else is great about them that I would recommend them to people who are new to makeup? They sell kits and instructions.


Kits. And instructions. So you get a whole bunch of things at once, along with tips on how to use them to make them good enough for the movies.


One last thing about Bloody Mary. These. Click that link. Go on. Do it. It will be the best moment of your gothy life.


Those, my dear gothlings, are bat eyeshadow applicators.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW ADORABLE THAT IS.

Bloody Mary Makeup - get onto it! 

PS: Having trouble winning good old Dad over to the Goth Side? Your problems are solved - Bloody Mary sells hot sauce.

Mini-Post - Give away!

Dear blogger LadyCrowx is having a fucking huge giveaway. Go here to enter.

OMGCOMICZ

Dear darling Ashley girl did our first comic today! Click to enlarge, and click here for the original on dA.

  

Yeah, did I neglect to tell you? I'm the supervillian.

"Wooow this took me a long time to make...like two days.
This is the first episode of the comic series that still needs a name. Right now it's just DKHN...or Doctor Kitty Horrible and Neartastic xD
This is basically to show that Neartastic's squirt gun, The Squirt Gun of Justice (She's big on justice) is simply full of water.
Why is her weapon water? Well...er...cats don't like water.

This is the first ever comic I've made, and I hope it doesn't look too lame.

Doctor Kitty Horrible belongs to: ~AnonymousCat aka my very lovely friend Kitty.
Neartastic belongs to me.
The idea for this comic belongs to both of us."

Pics And It Damn Well Did Happen

Well, one pic of the new babies. Delilah seems happy to stay with them pretty much all the time, so I'm not trying to intrude much.

I am adamant that the grey one in the middle will be named Beetlejuice. :|

Funny Thing, That

So I'm pretty sure I share 95% of my followers with my dear friend SaryWalrus. She posted this today about her cat, Kitty, being pregnant. Weeeeelll, my dear cat Delilah is giving birth today, as you would well know if you followed me on twitter or facebook. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

I will be updating this until all kittens are born. I will take as many photos as i can once they are all settled and born.

12pm - Kitten One, black with white/brown splotches.

3:30pm - Kitten Two, grey and white.

4:20 - Kitten Three, scruffy black, very dark (about the only thing we can tell at the moment) 

5:15 - Kitten Four, also a lil black one as much as we can see. I'm drownin' in goth cats!

And there we have it - four brand-new babies.

PS: the "miracle of birth" is full of crap. It's more like the "unholy screeching noise and empty bloody sacs and general unpleasantries of birth". 

O u guise - good news is good!

So apparently I have over 20 000 pageviews now. Wow. And someone - TELL ME WHO YOU ARE, ANONYMOUS PERSON - linked my "what is this" post on that one Examiner Article about Lime Crime. (if you didn't know already, Deere went through and followed all of Shrinkle's followers to try and increase business. because that's not weird, scary or pathetic at all.)

So thanks guise. Here's to another 20 000 times of you guys clicking through my blag and going, "the shit is this freak on about? Is she a furry or something? I don't understand."

To celebrate, I have an amusing anecdote to tell you - so our cat Delilah is pregnant again. Outside, we have a deck and a gate that blocks off the stairs to the back garden. They usually walk in between the pickets of the gate to get through. Well, she did that the other day - and shut the gate with her girth.

Well done, slutcat. Well done.

And in other news - on the 27th of October til the 31st, I will be in melbourne. If all goes well, and I like a house I am going to look at, I will be moving down not a week later! Isn't that just perfectly fantastic?

AND IN EVEN MORE OTHER NEWS, at the end of next year, sometime around September, Shaun and i are planning on going overseas. To Europe. Starting in Belgium, we will be working our way through the great European continent. We will be planning meetups whereever we are, but so far we have this planned:

-Go to Belgium
-Go to Germany
-Go to Norway
-Go to Finland
-Go to France
-Go to Russia
-Go to the UK and Ireland
-Go to Canada
-???
-profit!


Other than Belgium and the UK and Canada, those are in no particular order. However, we will be spending New Years somewhere - to celebrate the end of the Filthy Victorians. Hopefully we will get to celebrate that in a pub in East London - where Jack the Ripper used to drink. Wouldn't that be fitting?

We would also most likely be spending a little time in the northern and western states of the US and in New England as well. If we make it that far without deciding to stay somewhere forever, that is (and there is a WHOLE LOT of Scotland over there). Hopefully we will get to spend a good portion of time working in the UK, in order to save up for the rest of the trip.

So...who'd like to have us around?


I am so excited and looking

Mini-post - LOL A DEERE

No, this isn't the hilbeariousness that we have been waiting for. It's something from this really fucking stupid post on Doe a Deere's blag. She goes on about the evils of straight men in the cosmetics industry, says people who don't wear neon lipstick are "moths" and unpretty, and posts the "bleak" scale of beige lipstick. Technically, that isn't beige, either. It's mauve.

ANYWAY I spotted this. Clickeru to enlarge the lulz.

That's right. She went on about how NO ONE ANYWHERE HAS EVER MADE BRIGHT COLOURED COSMETICS BEFORE. No, not one single one. And then she went and made a lipstick in one of the shades she claimed was a "moth" shade and ergo UGLY UGLY UGLY.

I also love how she's managed to release Styletto....twice. ?!

No more deereness until she tweets back to me, anyway. I just spotted this while I was reading through Lipsticks and Lightsabres and thought I would share.

This Is The New...

..Blag Page. I'm still a better lyricist than Marilyn Manson.

I added a new page to my blag. It's my wishlist - an ever-growing list of Shit I'm Going To Get Around To, Eventually.



There's also a poll. Tell me where you're from!


Oh, and if you're interested, Doe Deere thinks I'm "brilliant". I said I didn't like Lime Crime...at...all. No response yet. Will screencap (especially if shit starts going down).


Much loveru~


PS: My dear darling friend Ashley and I are starting a doodly comic strip. I'll hopefully get her stuff up tomorrow, plus some drawings from me.
PPS: Does anyone ever read the stuff I tag my pages with? I do weird, unexplainable shit, sometimes.

Bring it, fgagot.

I couldn't help myself any longer. I had to know: why is Doe Deere following me, a simple h8r, on twitter?

Let there be lulz.

(I was going to think up a clever pune (or play on words) for the title. I settled on "fgagot" instead.)

I Was Having A Shit Day Until....

...this happened, all over my iTunes.

And then Xanthy happened. Xanthy, if you don't know, has this habit of happening when I feel at my worst. Ilyxanthy. Did you know she and I are vampire witch lesbian lovers?

What.

So if you aren't part of my facebook legion or my twitterati, then you don't know this already - LIME CRIME IS FOLLOWING ME ON TWITTER.

WHAT.

Why on EARTH would Dough go, "hey, this person fucking hates me! I'm going to watch her post pictures of cats!"

There are a few possibilities here.

1: She doesn't know I hate her and is curious about me (unlikely)
2: She doesn't know I hate her and is going to try and sell me crap. (somewhat likely)
3: She knows I hate her and is going to try and sell me crap. (rather likely)
4: She knows I hate her and is going to send her minions after me (rather likely)
5: She's fucking insane. (definite)


What the hell, Xenis? :|


Don't know about Lime Crime? Check here (and click through all the other posts), here (also clickthough) and the extremely truthful Encyclopedia Dramatica article here. Still not convinced Deere is Satan herself and want to buy her stuff? Buy from tragicbeautiful - because if you're going to be unethical, be unethical with Melanie.
