Nude Pics and Crappy Cameras

Now that I have all this energy and happy coursing through my body, I have new ideas for tutorials and videos! Today, I'd like to shoot a short tutorial for poor people like me that are stuck with one way cameras like flips:

The idea for this tutorial is going to be, solely based on theory and idiocy!! Lol

I want to attach a mirror piece to the front plate so you may be able to(kinda)see what the camera sees and still be able to safely remove the front plate to change the batteries every 10 minutes.

This may not work, but I'd love to try it and see how bad I FAIL! Or, If it works, it may help out my fellow sufferers :)


On another subject, I've been whining to my boyfriend about the fact that I have such a small fan base and only 40 views on my videos I post. My main question remains unanswered, Is it that I am so uncool that no one likes me or am I so lost in translation due to the MASSIVE volume of people posting so much content each day that I never get noticed? Which is it? I may never know. So, here's my GRAND idea…I'm going to post a bunch of nudes on tumblr and see how quickly my fan base increases! NO? not a good idea? WHY?!! It worked for a bunch of other bimbos! Those girls had like, 10 seconds of mini-fame! lol. You know I'm kidding, right?! I kind of am…you gotta admit, it could work! 
Because, pictures like this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NEVER got me anywhere!

Thank You So Much!

To everyone who follows my blog(s), Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

Every person that likes my posts, or adds me to their circle, thank you! 

I know I'm not the cheeriest person on this planet, and I whine A LOT! But, I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know that I am not alone. The few conversations that I've had with some of you have lifted my spirits so much, it brings a whole new light into my life and I love you for it!

I've been pulling a ton of my craft stuff out of storage (the dark depths of my garage) and I've decided to put a lot of effort into it and make an attempt at restocking my storenvy. Even if it isn't much at all, it'd still be nice to get some of these things done and make them available.

 Here's what I found that has inspired me:


Mounds Of KK Hair (for dreads)


 Flexible Skull Molds For Charm Making?


 Material, maybe as add ons to old clothes? Idk

 Dem Batz from the tutorial

 My hand-printed/painted/silk screen shirt thing, maybe make some extras?



Maybe? Yes? How bout I do and say I did…

No, that's not right.

How about I do and do it GUUD!!!!

Yeah :)

I love you so much, and thank you thank you thank you!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, merry christmas, hanukah, kwanza, tree day, or whatever you may celebrate!

Pay No Mind To The Pain

I have been given THE BEST present of all time…

My mom fronted the money for my dentist bill!


It means the world to me to have that front tooth fixed, you don't even know!

I went around, for over a year, with this hole in my smile. Financial struggle and lack of insurance made it impossible for me to make it to the dentist. For Dr. B to squeeze me in before the holiday and reconstructing my front tooth from almost nothing and my mother for throwing down almost $100 when she was having to decide between food or presents…

Yeah, I'm blessed!

The comical part never made me laugh, but that tooth always looked like I had pepper in my teeth. But, as it got worse, it looked more like I had been smoking crack. My dentist even asked me if I did meth or something! No, I've never tried hard drugs…ever! I'm a smoker addicted to coffee, I take antacids for my acidic stomach and I inherited soft teeth from both sides of my family. Plus, if I did hard drugs, I'd be skinny as a rail. Haha. yep, anywho.

Even though things are not going as planned, I can at least smile without covering my mouth. I can laugh aloud without being self conscious and I can feel better knowing that I have one less thing to worry about  :-D

My mouth is screaming right now, due to the extreme drilling doc had to do, but I can't even give a damn, I feel so much better :)

I had made a video about a month ago, I noticed my effing tooth in the video and just deleted it. I avoided putting on makeup, mostly because I thought it was pointless to try to look pretty when I can't even smile.

This is the best present ever! Thank you momma <3

Cold Porcelain DIY Review

Its better than polymer clay. It may even be cheaper in the long run!

I've tried a bunch of different homemade clays and never had much success...

Until I ran across This:


I had previously invested in a TON of school glue, so I gave it a shot…

LOVED IT!!! It's so smooth and dries rock hard!! The ONLY issue I had was the sticky stickiness it has even after refrigeration, and I didn't know what to sculpt once I had this beautiful ball of clay in front of me.

If I get a hair up my butt, I'd love to actually MAKE nice little gothy charms with this stuff! SO NICE!

Note: It was a little messy. Having to move quickly to transport from bowl to plastic wrap surface was a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end.

I Love Being A Witch!

Magick! Spells! Alters and wands! Crystals!  Potions! So much fun!

If only!! I wish it were that easy!
Every witch knows how frustrating it can be. You want to ground and center, but the noise is too much. You can't focus when you are constantly surrounded by chaos. Spells don't look quite right, your chakra is all out of sorts. Your witches cabinet is lacking in necessities and the weather is never on our side, am I right?!

I've been an eclectic witch for about 10 years, and these everyday problems have really gotten in the way!!

This post is not about how to avoid these issues, because there is no avoiding them. I am simply whining.

I live in New Mexico, the desert. Lavender grows out front my neighbors' house, wild sage is everywhere, yet I cannot get out and pick anything. I'm afraid of the mesa, and, for some reason, when we go out to the mesa, my mother and I both have a hard time breathing. As witches and common sense kind of people, we stay away.

I want to go live in the mountains where anything and everything can flourish! I'd have my very own witches garden with a stone path and a green house in the back…oh yes!




Colors and aromas of my garden will be my alarm clock in the morning, hobby during the day and my dreams come true at night….

Yup.

Just like that.


Here's to dreams, people, here's to long lost dreams <3

I've Sworn Off Meat

After Thanksgiving dinner, I wasn't feeling well. I've known for a while that red meat makes me feel like I have the flu. But, to top it off, I helped my mother debone the ham and turkey…








It was absolutely horrific!


I was nauseous for HOURS! All these thoughts ran through my head. My papa had said earlier "Get rid of the bones, they have the most disease and bacteria.." and freelee had said "You are shoving bread into a diseased ass and eating it!" My mind was a whirlwind all night and into the next day…

On a daily basis, I cannot eat:
  • dairy of any kind
  • red meat
  • canned meat
  • white bread
Unless I want to feel like I'm dying. All seriousness.

So, I realized, my body WANTS me to be vegetarian, its been yelling at me all along!

Today is day 2 of no meat. My only exception is shrimp and tuna as I ween myself off the american diet.

I've tried going vegan before, I honestly could not afford it, not a chance. But, I can do my best for my body and my soul and shun these things out of my life for good. No one would choose to feel bed ridden every single day, its time to wake up.


Do you have any negative side effects from certain foods? Let me know in the comments below:

About That Tutorial

I filmed the mini hat tutorial….but I hated it!
It seemed like I rushed through it, the material looked awful…I would never wear it!

But, things are starting to straighten out, so hopefully I will have enough money to put more effort towards my videos and crafts and things!

I am currently playing with shrinky dinks, and listening to "Punk goes Christmas" on spotify. I don't know what I'm doing with my life right now, I'm kind of lost today. Its almost like I don't know how to be me, its weird.

In other news, I'd love to put cool things up in my store, so get this:


      + I have a T-shirt press (my uncle shares with me)
      - I don't have the money for the paper or ink
+ I own 2 different sewing machines
-Not enough material to sew anything
+ A bunch of acrylic paint
- Nothing to paint

See the issue? HAHA its so ridiculous. 
You know what I've been doing for the past few weeks? Trying to keep the house clean, a fucking impossible task!! Every time I turn around, its messed up somehow…I'll spare you the details.

So, I am sitting with grams, I don't know how to entertain her because she hates me right now, any noise I make she yells at me LOL. Its funny, but I really don't wanna keep her pissed off all day. Its after 1pm and my man is still in bed…MY LIFE RIGHT NOW, THO!!!!!!! 

IF ONLY I HAD FRIENDS!!!!!!! 
I HAVE NO FRIENDS….even if I did, I'm sure none of them would be patient with my obligations and what not. 

Just wanted to let ya know whats up, and say HI!!

 Sorry I suck.

Are Mini Hats Cool?

There was a point in my late babybat days when all I wanted was victorian themed everything!

I wanted the velvets and the canopy bed, the poofy dresses and chamber pots…well, not so much the chamber pots, I enjoy my modern plumbing! But the cute little hats and big hair was very attractive to me, it was all I could think about…



I made my own little hats and I was so proud of them! The fact that I loved them, I thought everyone else did too…




I made so many, these aren't even half of them…

But, to my shock and disappointment, no one else had much interest in them. A few friends would wear them to make me happy, carebear loved everything I made. So, just the two of us would parade around in my little top hats.




I had given up on them for a while…4 years+

But, this past halloween, I wanted my top hat with my outfit…I didn't have time to put the clips on it. However, it did inspire me to show everyone else how I make mine.

VIDEO COMING SOON!!!

Post-Halloween Blues

Considering how unhappy I was yesterday, my post-halloween blues are not as intense as I imagined they'd be.

But, if you are suffering from after-halloween saddies, here's a few things you can try:


  1. If you are goth, remember that EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN!
  2. If its the pretty lights you miss, hang your christmas/holiday lights early
  3. GET OBSESSED, dabble in your favorite things, find new things to go crazy about
  4. Create an amazon wishlist and post it on your social sites until someone sends you something lol
  5. Practice for next year, don't let all that makeup go to waste!
  6. Go take pictures of fall before its gone!!
  7. Catch up on all your favorite fall shows, I am!

These things have become routine for my mother and I. 
For years we suffered from the halloween blues, especially when it sucked in every aspect.
So, we came up with a tradition:

  1. Drink lots of coffee
  2. Pack away most decorations
  3. Hoard the rest of the decorations
  4. Fall clean the crap outta the house
  5. Rearrange the living room 
  6. Start Christmas decor!
  7. Enjoy
Of course, we are off to a rough start, its dreary out today and the breeze has brought a hint of doom with an icy caress. But, eventually it will get done!

I'm going to finish editing that video, then get my ass in gear for some holiday cheer!

NEW NEWS (It involves DREADS!)

I want to make a vlog about this for visual purposes, buuut…


I have received a magical hair cut. The blades were oiled with unicorn tears and dusted with fairy magic:





Also, I have crafted extra hair to fuse to my own, made from dragon lashes entwined with elf magic:



I have been gifted half of my costume a week early…I never posted about that, oops. 

To complete my look, I need to contact a wizard about a potion that makes me glow.

This got weird, I'm sorry. But its mostly true! 


Keep an eye out for the upcoming video about my adventure and why I embarked on it in the first place!

Zaney's Series Of UNfortunate Events and a bit of Awesome

I know, I know! This is my diy blog, yes I will get there after this little rant and whine!

Since the moving of the back and forths and the "Where's my.." and the "why for?!"s as of recent have swallowed me whole!! I could physically swim in my woes and stress! Cut the tension with a knife, sort of thing. The overwhelming idiocy of the events that have taken over my life just in the past 2 months, oh how it angers me so! I am in no shape to try and organize my life, let alone a video or blog post! AND BREEAATHE!

I need to revisit a video I posted about a month ago about the bat clips.  To my horror, there was a severe issue with the project that I should have been more aware of.

I need to finish the 100 videos I've started, I have promised soo many tutorials…


  1. I moved back home
  2. I lost a bunch of belongings somewhere some how
  3. My sewing machine broke
  4. My office is once again my room
  5. The craft space I have now is too small
  6. I have no work room
  7. I have no where to put my pole
  8. I am back on mama-sitter duties
  9. Impatiently waiting for this program (must remain vague)
  10. Halloween is so close and I haven't finished any of the yard decorations
  11. The costume I ordered from amazon will not arrive on time for halloween
  12. Broken sewing machine, can't make my own costume
  13. Relentlessly working out and eating well and not losing weight
  14. Very low self-esteem the last few days
  15. And my trich has claimed most of my eyebrows….
UGH! Ok, I'm done whining for the moment.

Some awesome news:

The AMAZING Joji Grey has posted a wonderful halloween giveaway on instagram to his awesome store :
http://theboneslums.storenvy.com/
This has to be the absolute best store EVER!!!! Little goth persons dream come to life!

I have entered the contest with little hope. But as soon as I get some money, well, Merry Christmas to me!!




This one should be on my fitness blog, but you need to know!!...


I have fallen in fancy with the lovely Angela Yeo:




She survived a severe motorcycle accident:


And now, She is an unstoppable, beautiful and inspiring BADASS!! 

This wonderful woman has inspired me to get my whiney butt to the gym every day for the past 2 weeks. Forming a habit of this kind is the best thing I can do for myself!


That's all the awesome that I have for today. I will always love my followers, you all keep me going when I wanna quit. I need a hug, here, just hug me real quick…ok, ok don't make this weird ;)

How To Be A Person (Life Advice)


 My man has inspired me more than any man I've ever met. He breaks his back bending backwards for everyone, he's a tough ass with the kindest tortured soul.  He has helped me in so many ways, i can actually function now! Today, he works, maybe just long enough until i go to work. We miss eachother even when we've spent 24 hours straight, just he and I. I have a strange feeling that we are so much alike, the world may hit us twice as hard with twice the force to knock us down or tear us apart. Wasted efforts if you ask me. No outside force can touch this!! Lol only 2 in this pod, thats all that matters. 


die Worte, die wir sprechen, wird die Luft, die wir atmen, füllen. The words we speak fill the air that we breathe.




In time, we all develop an emotional attachment to who we used to be. Its gazing into the past and attempting to recreate a long lost moment, simply scarred in our memory. Living in non-existing moments, that are no longer present, can quickly swallow a person into their own oblivion. Worse than denial, worse than depression, its self-separation and its dangerous. Lets focus on the people around us and the moments that are happening now.

If you can't be proud of who you are right now, CHANGE!

If you are unhappy with the people around you, if your feng shui is off, if there is darkness that eats at you…FIX IT!

There are some things that may never change, like the inability to admit that you are wrong. 

The worst way to go about a situation is anger. I will tell you why:

When you are angry, you tend to let care go to the wind. Harsh words, snide comments and rude glares are always first. Talking to someone whilst you are angry creates a whirlwind of problems…
If those problems can be solved, great! But, fair warning, that upset individual will never forget your angry words.

The absolute worst, after the first worst: Letting someone go to sleep whilst angry with YOU! Life 101, people! 
My momma always said "Never go to bed angry, or let someone go to bed angry at you."

Not only have you ruined someone else's day, night, and day again…But you have ruined your own.


Speaking of your feelings to someone that may be causing you some discomfort.

ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP, FIRST!

Otherwise, you come off as a bully. 

If its too difficult to let shit go, you are going to drive yourself into INSANITY! Let it go, be coooool. Dwelling on something may be signs, big, flashing signs that you have an internal issue. 

Do NOT take your internal issues out on the people around you, you will end up all alone. Identify your problems and find out if there is something YOU can do for YOU.

But, with fall right around the corner, I KNOW I'm gonna want dreads again, I would love to be more involved with my people and have extensive conversations on the alternative lifestyle matter thang <3

Where are my people?! I need your LOVE!

My Top Ten Must Haves *Goth DIY* + Examples


Instead of spending your life savings on a few articles of clothing, invest in materials!!

If you step back and look at the amount that you spend on materials, you might say "Well, I could've just bought that outfit already." But, if you are like me, I don't want what is available to everyone else. I love unique and individualized things, so I invest in my materials. In the long run, its worth it, here are some of my personal tips:


  1. Thrifting (it saves lives) You can find blank canvases while thrifting!
  2. Acrylic paints! Painting on your own clothing is cheaper than paying a company that prints the same T for millions of other consumers.
  3. Cheap Materials. Your local super market or fabric stores will have some really cheap fabric, I always go for stretchy, that way when your measurements are off, its not that big of a deal. Also, look for really thin, sheer material, this will come in handy if you want to make your own screen for screen printing!
  4. WOOD GLUE! Its always handy and a perfect glue for screens (screen printing)
  5. SALES!! At your crafty stores, always look at the clearance sections! 
  6. Know your brands! At Hobby Lobby, I always have a specific brand I stick to, because I know how well the quality is for the price.
  7. Bring a friend. Friends can help you sweep the stores and help find what you are looking for faster.
  8. Food coloring (kool-aid)! Its cheap and always handy!
  9. Poster board/Cardboard. For anything and everything
  10. Sharp Utensils!! Exacto knives are preferred due to their precision, but a box cutter works too.

Things you can do if you already have these things:

Acrylic paints allow you to paint your own Coffins!

Sheer Material=SCREEN PRINTING DIY!!! (thats an embroidery ring holding the screen)







Thrift material and Cardboard, DIY Mini hat!




Poster board and Cardboard+Sharp Utensil=Awesome project time!!



Kool-aid or other inexpensive dyes can dye your Wool/Human hair weave/Clothing etc.




I hope this was helpful and inspiring!! Follow my Youtube channel for video tutorials, random acts of craaaaaayyyyy and funny vlog stuff <3

Goth Problems (Walmart)

I remember back in the day, Walmart was pretty cool. My favorite movies, always on sale, off beat clothing for a good price. Most of all, I remember the help that was never received from Walmart employees…ah, yes, you little bastards.

I'm not saying that EVERY Walmart worker sucks this much ass, but most do.

I used to work at Walmart, mind you, I worked BLACK FRIDAY! I know what its like dealing with picky, whiney customers. But, NEVER, in my time working there, did I ever treat someone with disrespect or get impatient with them! I didn't even give attitude to the woman who stole my PURSE! 

I called up to my local Walmart today, a wonderful young voice answered and nicely transferred me to electronics…then, I get this:





hhhuugghhhTRONICS!






Hi, um, do you have a hard drive for xbox 360…?













UUUGH! Let me check…


















……







Yeah…..














How much do they cost?











OH MY…ugh, hang on….
$129!











For how many GB?







HOLD ON!…HOW MANY GBs ARE THE $129…FOR THE XBOX?! WHAT?!…They are 320!




Ok? Thank you?














YEAH BYE!!
















Not even exaggerating this! I wanted to get her name, but with that attitude, she would have gotten a good WHACK!! 


So, to all people who work with people, BE NICE! You don't have to care with your whole heart, but don't be an ass…you have no idea who you are pissing off!! 

I'm a female goth with a temper and I do not appreciate nor accept ANY form of disrespect from another human being. 

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
