Goth Goodies Part 2

Today I'll review my Demonia Unisex High Platform Knee Boot. I bought these for a Miyavi concert a year and a half ago. I love wearing really high boots at concerts so I don't struggle to see the stage. Being already 5'9 1/2 I don't struggle that much, but it's always great to be taller. Now to my short review, I highly recommend this brand if you are looking to buy a good pair of boots. They have the laces and buckles on the side, but also have a zipper on the inner part of the boot so you don't have to worry about going through the hassle of lacing then buckling them. They are sturdy and (if you know hot to walk in platforms) very easy to move around in. I've had problems in the past of large platform boots. With only a few wears the platform starts to lift off of the boot, but not with these ones. I've worn them countless times to concerts, clubs and just walking around and the platform and boot are still securely stuck together.  As for the price, yes they are a bit pricy (I paid $160 for mine), but all well made things come at a price.


So if you are looking for a nice pair of boots and don't mind paying a little extra for quality check out their site!

2nd day in Georgia

This is my outfit today for gallivanting around Duluth Georgia. I'm visiting my boyfriend and so far my trip has not been very good. Yesterday, my first whole day here, was spent at the hospital getting breathing treatments and medicine for my allergies and asthma. I'm very allergic  to pine and oak trees and where he lives there are thousands of them. So sake to say I've been having trouble living. Today really isn't going to be much better since he has to work. While he works I'm going to be bumming around the local mall and people watch for a few hours. Hopefully the next few days will be more fun.

Ring- Forever 21 $5
Cat Shirt- I've had since I was about 11 years old.

Gothic Goodies Part 1

So I've decided to do reviews on Gothic style things that I have bought and received and also Gothic Industrial music! Maybe this way more people will read my blog!

So for tonight I am going to review the bag I won through http://www.restyle.pl

First off let me say yet again that I was so super excited that I won this bag! Next for them being in a different country the shipping was super fast. In came in only a few days.

Usually when I get bags from online I am skeptical on how well they are made, but when I pulled this one out of it's packaging I could feel that it was very sturdy. I put my purses though hell and after having this one for over a month now, it is still in perfect condition and I use it every day. I find that the pockets both on the sides of the purse and inside it are perfect for me, since I always carry a lot of little things with me like jewelery, lighters and make-up. The clasp at the top of the bag that closes it together holds tight at all times, even when I have stuffed it full. It also can hold a lot of things.

If you want a good, sturdy, and well priced purse I definitely recommend you follow the link I provided above and buy one from them. 

And really what more could you want from a cute Gothic purse? Well made, sturdy, and well priced.

Random Photos of me from the past few weeks

I've been so behind on my blog! I'm going to start blogging more now that school is over. So here are a few pictures of me from the past few weeks when I wasn't blogging so much! Enjoy!

Nail Art

I got bored with my nails so I added some rosarys, upside down crosses and the words "fuck off" and 666.

MI's Christmas Party

Last Sunday I went with my friend (as her date :D) to her school's Christmas party! We had a good time dancing and watching people preform (it was at the House of Blues on Sunset).

Dress- H&M $10
Shoes- Jeffery Campbell $120

It's been a while!

It's been a while since I have blogged! I've been busy with my finals at school, but now that they are over I'm going to start to blog again!

A quick update- my job is still excellent, my finals were stressful, but over!, I have 13 days until I go see my boyfriend in Georgia, I'm applying to study a year in France andd yeah that's about it!

Powerpuff Girls!

Since I have a load of stickers left over from my childhood (I save almost everything) I decided to use one to make my lighter cute! It's blue and purple so it matches my hair :D I have purple on my lower layers.

Saturday Night!

I had a super fun time chilling with some new Hollywood friends! Like I've done for the past few weekends hahha! Soo tired...

My dear were slow dancing in a burning room

These past few weeks I just haven't been able to find a fuck anywhere. I've been feeling very anxiety ridden and depressed. I hope my attitude towards things turns around because I'm tired of feeling hopeless.

Top- Given to me by a friend
Jacket- Stolen from my old job's lost and found

Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend with my new friend in Hollywood! We bleached and dyed each others hair, so not all of the black is out of my hair and it's juts blue! I'm super happy about it because I've been getting tired of the black paint splatter on the top of my head. I'll post pictures when I straighten it :]

As for my day today I've been writing my paper and have almost half of it done. I'm trying to extend it to 10 pages, but I don't think I'll get past 5 or 6. My professor did say that it just can be no longer than 10 pages, so I think I'll be okay. It's so hard to write since I can't find any peer reviewed articles on what I'm writing about. So it is all just coming from my head and I have nothing to base my paper on. Ugh.

Time to eat then get back to writing!

I GOT A JOB!

I just received an email from an employer and I got a job! I'll be working in student accounts in a basement. I'm pretty fucking stocked.

Shirt- H&M $6
Necklace- Betsy Johnson, it was a gift

I got a second interview today!

Yesterday I got a call from one of the jobs I applied to on Friday for a second interview today! I go in at 1:30pm and I'm completely ready for this. I really hope I get this job! Wish me luck! :D

The striped black button down shirt I'm wearing under my cardigan I bought at Khol's on sale for $5

True Blood

I finally wore my true blood shirt today! I got it at hot topic a while back on sale. It's a 3XL, so I pinned the back and kinda made a short dress out of it. I also stopped being lazy and straightened my hair today.

Shirt- Hot Topic on sale $6

Study Time

Spending the day in the library today studying for my old norse class, trying to finish a component of the ethnography I'm doing and researching articles for my archaeology paper. Not as much fun as my friday and saturday which I will blog about when I have the extra time.

Going into my Old Norse class I thought it was the most fun thing in the entire world. Now I see that I got in WAY over my had an can barely keep up. It's stressing me out big time. This coming week is my 7th week out of a 10 week quarter so I'm almost done. I just have to power through these next few weeks and try for the best grades possible in all of my classes.


I also applied to two more jobs this past friday and tomorrow is when I find out if I got any of them. I was interviewed on the spot for both jobs so I hope I got one of the two.

Ahh back to studying...

Ugh

I want a job so badly. Not only because I need to pay my bills, but I also miss being able to treat myself once and a while. Even though I hated working at my old job, I actually miss it. Well miss the money I would get from it not really the job itself haha.

I mean I really don't understand why I haven't' gotten one yet. I made sure I was qualified for all the jobs I applied for. I have four years of customer service experience, I know how to use a cash register, prepare food, answer phones and do office work such as filing, emailing and scheduling appointments. I can even hawk to customers and make them buy things with the experience I gained while working the Renaissance Faire. All of my  references are my old bosses who I've talked to and they will all give me  glowing reviews. In any job I've ever had I've never had one complaint about the way I work and had gotten employee of the month several times at my last job.

UCLA I REALLY don't fucking understand the way you work. You pride yourself in helping students, yet you don't. I've applied to about 15 jobs here and I don't understand whats wrong with me. I've had outside professional sources read my resume and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I also know it's not my hair since I've seen many students working on campus with alternative colored hair. While interviewing I'm articulate and answer questions very well. So really now what the fuck is the problem?!

"In the church of the poison mind"

I haven't been updating my blog this past week as much as I would have liked to. I've been busy studying for my Archaeology midterm that I have in about an hour. It's only 47 questions multiple choice so I think I will do well enough. I've been listening to more Culture Club lately and kinda felt a bit 80's today. :]

Still no word on any job yet, so I'm applying to two more today. This is getting annoying. 

Hat- Forever 21 on sale $7
Sun Glasses- H&M $1
Necklace- My mom's from the 80's.

Halloween!

I has such a great Halloween! I went to West Hollywood with my friend and we had an awesome time looking at all of the detailed costumes people were wearing. It was amazing! I have never seen such detailed oriented costumes on Halloween before. I'm most definitely going back next year!

Even the bus ride over there was fun! The bus was completely packed with people dressed in costumes going to the event. I wish I had taken out my camera and taken a picture of it.

BTW I had no money this year so I used my existing clothes and went as a bloody jester. Halloween just isn't Halloween without BLOOD!

I WON!

GUYS I WON! AH! I AM SO BEYOND JOY RIGHT NOW! I've been looking at their store for months now longing over how much I want to buy everything. I vowed that as soon as I got a job I would start purchasing things with their REALLY reasonable prices. When I saw this contest I was like "huuhhh maybe this is my chance to win something...but I probably won't" I entered and FUCKIN BAM! I won. I encourage ALL of you who read my blog (what all 2 of you? lol) to go visit their store. It's really awesome.

Not sure how I'm going to do my hair for my Halloween costume. It's either going to be tease curls or wavy hair. This year I'm going to be a Jester. It was the easiest thing I can dress as with the clothing items that I currently own.

lookin sharp.

I applied to two more jobs today, hopefully something will come out of it.

Striped Shirt- Goodwill $4

-_-

Every night I have such a horrible time getting to sleep. I try and try, but it's not as east as it should be. I'm too stressed out about life in general. My parents did a horrible job at preparing me for this.

I made a video of me cutting my hair!

I'm going to start uploading more videos soon.

Today felt like a school girl day

So the Johnny the Homicidal pendant my friend Paul made in metals class in high school and I took it and made it into a necklace! It's one of my favorites. Today I have to finish my homework before I go home for the weekend for my little sisters 9th birthday! She's growing up so fast! I'll make sure to take pictures and post them on here.

JTHM Necklace -my friend made
Skirt- Second hand store for $1
Gray Pull Over Sweater- Shilouette store closing sale when I was 15 $5
Black Cardigan- H&M $25
Gray knee highs- Target (they are from my Yukari Paradise Kiss Cosplay) $6

2 awkward Moments Today.

That awkward moment while discussing an article done on nerd girls and nerd girl culture when the teacher's aid says "nerd girls strive not to be like everyone else!" and everyone in the class looks at you.

That awkward moment when the guy handing out pamphlets about "the true sin!" runs after you and frantically tells you you need to read about sin.

Popped Collar Bro

It's cold as hell right now at school, so I popped my collar. Feelin' awesome. haa. I just finished my Linguistics midterm and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Thank god for my ability to bullshit essays man. I'm so glad I'm better at writing than I am math. Except my professor put one of those horrible sections where you have to match up the names of a person to the theory they created. I think questions like that are total bullshit. Do I really need to know the persons name? It's only their theory that matters.

Anyway now I have to start writing my essay for Archaeology and study for that midterm, which really should be easy because I basically took this class last semester at my junior college.

I was also really surprised to check my blog and see that I have two more followers! Thank you guys! :D It really made my weekend! If you ever have any comments or questions don't be afraid to say so! <3

I GOT TO MEET MIYAVI!!!!

Last night was the best night of my entire life! I got to the House of Blues on Sunset at 6am and waited all day until the show started at 9pm! His show was just amazing. Miyavi's English has improved and he was talking a lot during the show. He also played old favorites of mine like Selfish Love, Please Please Please...and Jibun Kakumei! He even brought his adorably daughter Jewelie on stage an the audience sung Happy Birthday to her since yesterday was her 1st birthday. After the show my two friends and I who bought the VIP tickets lined up to meet him. The security guard who showed us where to sit kept telling us "no no sit HERE right HERE" then quietly said "this will be the front of the line, you WANT to stay HERE, okay?" and by god we were at the front. On the sort walk to meet him nerves were running high between my two friends and I. I had waited six long years to meet him and oh shit...I was about to.


When I waked up to him he greeted me with that all to familiar smile and asked if I had anything for him to sign. Unfourtanetly I didn't bring any of my posters or magazines with him on them, so I just took the posters they were giving out (because people bought a VIP ticket they got a free poster and guitar picks). He said he would personalize the poster for me and asked how to spell my name. I felt horrible because he was having trouble with it. He got the first letter "L" right, but when I said "I" for the next letter he wrote an "O" an I went "no no I" and he tried to fix it on the poster, but ended up pulling a new one out to personalize saying "it's okay, these posters only cost 50 cents". When he started to try and spell my name again I had to ask one of my friends there who is half Japanese (and speaks it) to spell my name out for him, but then Miyavi's wife who was standing next to him said "oh no it's okay let me help him" and I continued to spell my name out to his wife who told Miyavi in return the correct way to spell my name.

I also gave him two flower hair clips that I made for his daughters. I told him one was for Jewelie's birthday and I made another one for Lovelie because I know how kids get jealous. He said "oh thank you so much for making two, Lovelie gets really jealous sometimes of Jewelie". I then slipped him a purple envelop with a thank you note and pictures from my modeling portfolio (the thank you note also explained why I was giving him my pictures). It is one of my dreams to model in Japan an if he is able to possibly help me with my exposure, then why not at least try? I can lose nothing from it. And like Miyavi said on stage "thank you for supporting me all these years, I got here because I never give up!" and like Miyavi I will never give up either.

We then took a picture together and when he put his arm around me I just about died. There my idol of so long, with his arm around me, taking a picture. Holy shit. And damn, my face is all happy derpy.

After we left I almost died from joy, I have never been so happy when it comes to music. Miyavi and his music provide so much hope and determination for my dreams. He is living proof that hard work can get you to where you want to be.
