Honest Questions

Would you call me a sell out if I was affiliated with a specific brand or brands? I honestly want to know! I talked a while back about how pissed I got when my favorite youtubers were throwing advertisements in the middle of their videos, even their personal vlogs would be something like:
"Oh my gosh, last night when I was trying to sleep this song popped in my head...ONLY BUY YOUR MAKEUP FROM DIANNA'S FACERY! diannasfacery.ME.sellout.com."

I told you guys that I'd never do that to my followers...
I said that I'd only tell you guys about things I liked.
But, if I was affiliated with said brand, but I legit loved this stuff, would I still be a sell out?

I love sooo many things and want to share everything with everyone CUZ LUURRVV YEWW! But I want it to be meaningful and come from the heart, not for my bills.

Obviously I don't make any money on anything I do here or there! I'm so broke, I spend a whole $12 on makeup...and now I'm broke LOL

And, Its not that I want to be "affiliated" with anyone, I just want to do more and have more interaction with people. I'm such a homebody, some online buds would be nice, ya know? Swap ideas, share stuff, collab and get more followers to join our cult...GROUP, I meant group ;)

I solemnly swear to be way more super active on the internetz if YALL WOULD BE MAH FRAANS!!!

Or maybe I'm just not cool..  :(  can you feel the guilt trip? yas, yew caaan.

Ok, I'm done. Oh, and I got super embarrassed of some old OLD videos I found on my other yt channel, and the only comment on the specific video was "what the hell?!" LMFAO!

K, love ya, talk to me, bye

 

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

Christmas Shopping for a Goth (on a budget!)

Christmas Shopping for a goth individual can be a challenge. Just because its black doesn't mean its cool...sometimes. But, really! If you really want to surprise your gothic loved one with a nice christmas present, here are a few ideas broken down into gender and age group:

Gothic Girls:

Age 0-8 Girls

(Yes, 8 is young but very possible!)

Some black, fuzzy boots are perfect for the holiday and the weather!

Any Clothing or accessory from Monster High! I think these characters are sooo awesome and adorable! Best part, it fits any age group.

Monster High shirt with some fuzzy boots? YES PLEASE!

*Similar/cheaper items can be found at your local wally world, jsyk*

Age 9-14 (unisex)

**The older they get, the harder it is to buy for them. Keep in mind what they ooze over whenever you take them shopping!**

Hot Topic is THE place to consider when buying for pre-teens, but it can get pretty pricey. I like to check out their website and compare similar articles of clothing to wal-mart's. 

Band T's

Boys and Girls between 9 and 14 are diggin' the band T's!

Simple Studded Belt

Combat Boots

*Even a simple gift card coupled with a promised shopping trip would send a little goth into a jump for joy!

Age 15-18 (Girls)

Perfume Oils

Linked in the photo is a wonderful site filled with gothic themed perfume oils with awesome pricing! If you want to smell a perfume/oil before buying, check your local malls for samples of specific perfumes that may appeal to your young goth.

Jewelry

Makeup

Age 15-18 (Boys)

To start, I would suggest an itunes gift card. Guys need their music like girls need their eyeliner!

Wallet & Chain

Even as simple as this, or check hot topic for more character.

Leather Jacket

Click photo for ebay item.

Black Zip-up Hoodie

Fruit of the Loom zip up hoodie at walmart for less than $15


*And, Of course, a gift card to the guys' favorite clothing store.

I really hope this helps! If you have any questions, PLEASE feel free to comment and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

To wig, or Not to wig...

That is a question for us Goth Folk!

Wigs come in many quality categories, but the most popular is usually the least expensive and the most itchy!

I have a lot of hair, so its hard for me to wear hair pieces that require snug fitting. I do, however, love clip-in/tie-in  pieces! I've made a handful of pretty colored head things.

Being a diy-er and a goth at heart, it is no surprise that I've looked like this:

...or this....

(((So, I guess hair pieces have always been "my thing". I remember how excited I was when I made all of these. Every piece has a story, but shockingly, I no longer own any of them, now! I am an artist, I can make some similar, but I could never ever clone any of these pieces! I've tried)))

Now, Some of us do not like hair pieces, but some of us have gone out of our way to purchase or create some kind of extravagant creation to wear! Here it is again, To wig or not to wig?

What are the pros and cons of wearing hair gear of every category?

Does it not always come back down to the price? When I originally made either of these pieces, I did it to: 

1. Save money
2. Be original
3. Create for others
4. Artistically express myself through my appearance.

None of this was cheap! Even buying the cheapest materials, It ended costing a few hundred dollars altogether due to the learning process. When I started, there were 2 tutorials on youtube and only a few pictures...I learned the hard way. It was a fun, yet, a frustrating process, but I would not trade those experiences for the world! Now that I know how to do these things, I want to share with everyone else who is interested, I want to be the one that starts a 16 year old girl on her dread making, or clip-ins selling extravaganza!! I want my people to join me in creating and DIY-ing! I want us to come together and share our knowledge and our methods of madness!!

WHOSE WITH ME?!!

Let me know in the comments below!

Can You Afford Quality?

Hmm, lets touch this subject with reality! I have an average frame, an inch shorter than average height, so why do I have a hell of a time finding goth clothes?!!

Answer: Goth clothes are at their best when they are custom fit! 

Yes, but I don't have the money for all that!

Answer: No one does.

I have thrown away enough money to put a down payment on a house just by buying my goth clothes from the wrong stores! Ha, and I cannot even begin to explain how badly I wish I could make my own!

Hot Topic is obviously not a quality gothic clothing store. Tripp NYC was Hot Topics biggest and best brand they've come across and even that has devolved from quality to shitty. The most irritating part has to do with the manufacturers of the clothing! Why would anyone use pure synthetic material that is so weak it can't even stay in tact on the rack in the store?! Walmart is guilty of this, too, along with many other high priced, low quality stores. "Look, its shiny, buy it! NO, that rip isn't a rip....its just the seam that was not sewn properly...I mean, buy it, its shiny and printy!". C'mon now! Give me quality or give me death.

Is it worth the investment to buy custom goth clothes?

Are any of the sellers trustworthy?

Why can't I afford nice clothing?

Questions from every little goth girl with a dream. 

P.S. If I could make my own damn clothes AND shoes! oh, You better believe I'd be struttin' my stuff through wally wally wally-world!

How About Some Goth Fashion! part 1

Let's be real! A lot of us are sensitive when it comes to talking about Goth Fashion.

I need to break you of that, starting with why.

High school? Yeah, it Sucked! But that's where we learn how our minds work when it comes to pointless criticism and peer-pressure. Now that we've grown up from that (or not, you may still be in high school) we need to allow our fellow humans to be curious and educated about us.

 SO, having said that, I need to pull up a few choices of clothing that I fancy.*** I am not advertising any specific business at the moment, just the style I'm interested in.***

A rough collage of some things I've been eyeing to add to my collection of clothing.

One thing about Fashion right now, that has me intrigued....BONDAGE was in style back in 2009, but it hasn't died.

Here is a picture of a Fashion runway from 2009:

OOH YEAH!!!

I love how tasteful it is, too!!

Now, Bondage style shoes are in! 2013

See? Goth will always be. I am in love with the idea of Bondage inspired clothing!!! 

Through the years, From then to now, Forever and always

Remain Respectful 

Love Each other
