Perfect weather, dearest of friends, in a room full of goths and non-goth lovers, who could ask for more? WHY CAN'T EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT BE LIKE THIS?!! Of course, it cannot always be idealistic as this is Miami but we commend you for making this most joyous occasion a happenin'! To be lucky enough to have seen them last night not only from our view alone but seeing them at all, was hands down one of the best shows we have seen in a long time. In all honesty, this was a gathering where being draped in black from head-to-toe as is my uniform 90% of the time was not questioned and where pretentiousness never showed it's ugly face. The air was that of kindred spirits coming together to see and hear something rare and unusual as music reigned supreme as it should be. In the words of one of my most eloquent friends, Arielle, "all my goth dreams come true," we collaboratively bring to you, us, backstage/side-stage viewing...NITZER EBB. Here's Douglas McCarthy, frolicking and gyrating so stylishly on stage in a black American cut two-button suit jacket, fitted black pants, white shirt, skinny black tie, aviator sunglasses hiding his eyes, and black pointy shoes - a pure mesmerizing delight to say the least. While the crowd gushed in awe, people traveled from far and wide to see and hear their chanting sounds. For those who don't know, we shall oblige and say, that they are a British goth/industrial/electronic band from the mid-80's, whose inspirations include BAUHAUS and DAF, so it's safe to say that they are old school and still killing it. Please enjoy our novice attempt at photographs and we apologize for a somewhat peekaboo video taken at the show last night...
Last Friday night, for a very special celebration, Yusha's birth, the weather was cool and on the cooler decline as the night progressed, which is certainly a rarity in these parts and welcomed with open arms by all who live here. The humidity seems to have gone to sleep for the "Winter", so I pulled out my newest discovery from my mum's closet. An embroidered red lightly lined coat/robe with a Chinese collar, buttons and bell-sleeves which somehow resembles a prayer robe. Coupled with a black tank, cigarette jeans, and slouchy boots with brass buckles. To adorn I wore a medallion necklace with an opal bead as well as my handmade crystal bullet necklace made for me by one of my besties, Gregg, of the vintage online company called the Brothers of The Silver Sun, and definitely a site worth feasting your eyes on. The night was lovely and I enjoyed spending it with some of the best people I love and the setting even more than perfect. To sum it all up in the best way I know how, I share one of my favorite songs by Spindrift and silly self-taken photos of my "Technicolor Dream Coat" with you...
