Event Post: Resurrection Just Dance!

So this is another not really themed night going on. This might sound weird or silly but I basically let my cat pick my outfit. She was climbing around my closet. I basically just grabbed articles of clothing she layed on or batted at.

pink fishnet I bought at a party store. Oh and my Marilyn cut-out is saying hello.

Dem boots!

Outfit looks a little Mall-gothy, but I'll still rock it.

Event Post: Excess New Time Slot!

    So last time I went to Excess it was at a new location. I wasn't sure about the new place, loved the decor though. I like some of the people there though so giving it another chance. :p If you want to know the info, here's the event page.

    The DJ for the event is DJ Dirge. I'm not afraid to say he's one of my favorite DJ's in the scene. (Aside from DJBadaxe and Sawtooth but I'm kind of biased as I'm married to one of them and the other one's my brother-in-law XD) But I like Dirge's taste in music, his DJ style/presence. I like how he pays attention to the over all sense of the dance floor and will pick it up when he knows it needs it. You'd be surprised how many DJ's don't seem to pick up on that so well. Also he somehow always plays one of my favorite songs. I have no idea if he does it on purpose but it's awesome either way.

If you went to the link above you'll see Dirge's persona, appropriately enough, has a lot to do with skulls and skeletons. I also have a serious thing for skulls so I dig it. Since this night doesn't have a theme this time I'm going for the Dirge-like skeletons.

So the front of the dress is just a plain normal gown. 

The back is this lovely set of ribs. I've warn this dress before, I'm fairly certain I did a blog post outfit with it too. Yay skeletons! I got this dress a handful of years ago on sale at Hot Topic. Yeah I know, that place is for baby bats and scene kids but they do still have cool stuff from time to time. Plus I have a couple friends who work there so it' cool to stop in and say hi every once in a while.

My boney knee highs again, these things make frequent appearances in my outfits haha. And yeah I know. I just got that mannequin wit actual legs and feet I could have put these on but I was lazy.

Some of my accessories. To the left my long finger-less gloves that also keep appearing. to the right are some press on nails. Metallic colors kind of remind me of bones for some reason. Oh friendly tip? Always remember boots, corset, then nails. otherwise you'll have a bad time. XD

And my awesome skull hair things that I bought in artist's alley at a convention a few years ago.

Event Post; Resurrection: Godzilla Tribal Fusion.

     I'm back! Well for this one event post for now at least haha. This event was hard to make an outfit for. I don't have clothes that fit the theme, the style of clothing for the theme exposes a lot of skin that I am not willing to expose, and the whole tribal thing can be considered racist if done wrong. But I did my best with what I had to work with.

So this might not come off as tribal at first. Most pictures I looked up have sort of a belly dancer look. I went for something more Nordic inspired.

Here are some of my accessories. I also have more accessories for the head and hair region but I failed at taking pictures haha.

This post is not the best. I blame 'college-brain'. I recommend reading about tribal stuff and racism. I'd get into it here but I don't really know if a casual fashion blog is the place to get in depth on the subject.

Also, happy birthday Z! :)

Puck Shares A Thing! (Janel Norris)

 The posts are connecting! This weeks post is about something I wore in the Event Post from last week.

Last week as part of my outfit I wore this in my hair. I also mentioned I wore it for my wedding. I feel like it's deserving of a post.

Here's a shot of the hair piece in my hair on my wedding day. This was taken shortly after the ceremony and yes I am making a silly face.

The hair piece (along with the necklace I wore that you can't really see.) Was made by Artist Janel Norris. I met her and her husband Matt, a photographer I ended up hiring for the ceremony, at a fairy festival one of my friends helped organize. She had a booth set up and I fell in love with the jewelery immediately. If you're interested in seeing her work or buying some of her things, here is her site with the links to all her things. For the record she doesn't know I wrote this and I'm not pimping her stuff for any reason other than I think it's beautiful. (I just realized when writing this, I never even added her on Facebook.)

(My husband and I.)

Next week I'll connect to this post by talking about my wedding. (*Edit* I ended up not doing wedding posts. I do plan on doing them eventually. My one year anniversary is coming up, maybe I'll do it then.) It wasn't especially goth but I did try and fit some darkness where I could.

Seeya next time!

Event Post: Resurrection 9th Anniversary Masquerade Ball!

Nine years. It's pretty crazy. I've been going to Rez for like five, maybe six years? It's the club I frequent the most. It's close, cheap, and I know a lot of people that go there. My husband and brother-in-law have both DJ'd there as well. I've been to a couple of these Masquerade Balls though I've never been very impressed with my own outfits. This year I think I've done a bit better.

So this is the basics of the outfit. I haven't picked all the accessories as of writing this post, nor is my hair or make-up done but here it is! The dress is actually the one I wore for my Senior Prom. It's pretty amazing it still fits seeing as I graduated like eight years ago.

I've decided to change the dress up a bit by putting my medieval style bodice thing over the dress. I think it looks neat. It certainly makes the boobs look good. The mask was bought from a store in Minnesota when I was out there visiting family. I can't remember the name of the store but I did technically got it for free as part of a buy one get one free thing. Not seen in the picture, my cat attacking the shit out of my feet.

Here's the outfit on my dress form. Though the pic's a touch blurry. Whoops.

Another view of the mask and such.

Close up of the hair accessory I'm planning on wearing. I originally bough and wore it for my wedding. I plan on posting about the artist who made it in the future.

Well seeya next time!

Puck Shares a Thing! (Pinterest)

This is going to be a lazy, lazy post. This week I'm sharing my Pinterest! I'm just going to pick out a couple of boards I enjoy looking at and daydreaming about. Not all of these boards have to do with goth things but oh wells. I actually started a board dedicated to the blog but I haven't posted anything in it haha.

So here's the main page I wanted to share.

Feel free to follow me and meyhaps I'll follow back! (sorry for the lame short boring post haha.)

Seeya soon! I'll be going to Rez's 9th Anniversary so there will definitely be an event post. Byyyeeee!

Puck Shares a Thing! (Gothic Charm School.)

            First entry of Puck Shares a Thing! First 'episode' a book I bought a number of years ago. See I've considered myself goth since I was in like fifth or sixth grade though I didn't start actively dressing goth or even listening to goth music. So I wasn't super familiar with the history or some of the finer social details. So when I was looking through the shelves of a bookstore and I stumbled upon Jillian Venters Gothic Charm School (An Essential Guide for Goths and Those Who Love Them.) I was intrigued.

(Cover of the book)

The book is an interesting read and overall pretty informative. It gives you some of the basics of what some consider goth. It is important to remember when reading this book that is mostly the opinions of one woman. A seemingly informed woman, but one woman all the same. I can see some people not agreeing with what she says and It is definitely not all factual.

Some of the topics covered include; fashion, music, society, mental illness, mainstream societies' perception of goths, romance, and more. My personal favorite is the dissection of goth club etiquette. I have been clubbing for seven or eight years now give or take. Goth clubbing is one of my favorite things in the world. So much so I've tried starting my own night (I may share that story with you one day.) So I agree with just about everything she has to say in that section. Some examples? Don't bring your drink onto the dance floor, watch out for other people, don't touch people unless you know them and you know it's okay. Things you'd think people would know but sadly don't. I've been to a fair share of nights that were basically ruined for me because a handful of people didn't know how to handle themselves on a goth dance floor. I sometimes wish everyone had to read this section of the book before going to a club.

So yeah I think most gothy types could learn a thing or two. Though as I said it's mostly her opinions so don't read this and think you're and expert in goth. Do your own research and come up with your own opinions.

Here is the author's website if you want to learn more about her and her doings.

See you next time I share a thing!
