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!

Puck shares a thing prologue.

I really enjoy doing this blog. There are of course some slight annoyances though. Real life things. I'm starting my spring semester of college soon for example. But I do want to make this blog more of a regular thing. My initial goal was to just simply have at least one post a month and most of these posts seem to lean on my event posts. Well what comes with college and other things comes being less able to go clubbing. I still want to post things! I want to do more tips and tricks/cheat posts but a lot of those mean going out to places, taking pictures, doing a lot of research. Things I don't have time to do properly. Not to mention I don't have the best cameras or photography skills.

Enter Puck shares things! These will be easy posts talking about things I like. Books, movies, podcasts, my favorite club nights, stores. Things like that. Most of them will be goth friendly if not straight up gothy things. Also using these posts I'm going to update this blog more often. I'm going to do 'Puck Shares a Thing' posts once a week. I'm not going to lie, I'll most likely write several posts in one sitting and then schedule them which will be way easier to keep up with the content.

These aren't going to be reviews necessarily and I am definitely not being paid or sponsored in anyway. Though I'm not against reviewing something sometime. I'm shooting for these to be posted every Wednesday. No particular reason, just seems like a good day.

I'm still going to be clubbing here and there so definitely expect outfit posts. I also will try other types of posts. I'll considered doing haul videos of my finds from Saver's and things. Dunno yet.

Well see you guys later!

Event Post: Sin-O-Matic Apocalypse!

Today's post is extra special! It's the birthday celebration of one of my best friends/brother, and my husband! Their birthday's are really close so they like to celebrate them together when they can. This year we're going to Sin-O-Matic together. A fitting celebration since I started dating my husband after this friend brought us both clubbing together.

The theme for this event is Apocalypse! I actually had a hard time coming up for a fitting outfit for this one. I ended up with a great outfit I think but it doesn't scream 'end of the world.' Oh well!

Tah-dah!

Front top: Lacey tank top that I bought years ago from I don't know where. plastic pearl necklaces I got from a sort of grab bag at Saver's. The sweater was also bought at Saver's. I believe I got it for maybe seven dollars? That seems to be the price of most things I buy there. Also in the picture are lacey tights that obviously go on my legs but my dress form doesn't have those so yeah haha.

Layers, layers, layers! The bottom layer consists of  short shorts made from an old pair of jeans, a ripped up long skirt I got at A.J. Wright a long time ago. The top skirt will be detailed in another picture. Also in this photo are my favorite boots. I wear this clubbing a lot and I'm the most comfortable dancing in these. I wore them for my wedding! I got them like many of my other staple accessories from a halloween store after halloween.

Top Back detail of the aforementioned sweater. Nice pretty lace window.

The top layer. A tu-tu style skirt with a sort of train back. Got this during a post halloween shopping spree.

I would post my husbands outfit but he's probably just going to wear the same thing he usually does. Hope I see some of you there!
