One of my friends who lives in Austin Texas texted me that he saw 2 Goth Punk Marching Bands at SXSW the big music festival. The marching bands were holding up traffic in a parade. They were playing a wild music mix of punk rawk goth squawk.

I should join a goth marching band. I can really play a musical instrument. I used to play clarinet I could buy one at a pawn shop n pick it up again. Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails he was in a marching band when he was in HS he played saxophone. But around here where I live I’d be lucky to find sum1 who even knew what a goth punk marching band was except maybe a few of my friends? Reminds me I have to text them to check my goth vixen blog for the latest thing I wrote as if they fn care…

The one thing I like about old marching band stuff is that it pops up in thrift shops and you can find cool looking jackets and vests especially if you’re into goth or steam punk. I wish I had the fn money to do steam punk. But steam punk fashion takes way more cash to get outfits together. You have to wear more leather gear and have more cool accessories. }Scarlet Angel{

A few months ago I was going to a goth party and I had taken off my chipped black nail polish and I was going to put new black nail polish on just for the party. But the fn bottle had sealed shut from the nail polish. It was late and I couldn’t find anyplace open well I could but they didn’t have any black nail polish. I found sugar plum but it wasn’t dark enough so I was having the sads. Ready to cry. Then I just dropped down to the ground outside my apartment building and raked my nails into the dirt in some flower bed where flowers never grow cuz the landlord doesn’t care about flowers n neither do I. Who wants to see any pretty flowers that just die anyway. So I did myself up goth girl dead girl for the party n went with my dirty nails. Of course my goth girl dead girl dirty nails were the fn hit of the party. Questions like did I claw my way out of the ground from the dead and I just said yes as if it was the most natural thing to say. Cuz sometimes that’s how I feel. Like when I wake up that I’m clawing my way out of someplace underground. Persephone? Sometimes people call death the “dirt nap”. But you wake up from a nap right? }Scarlet Angel{

I don’t watch the Oscars it’s like whatever. But one of my friends texted me n said OMG I should check out Helena Bonham Carter’s dress online. So I googled it n up came pics of her in this Victorian or Edwardian type dress. It was kind of gothic. With the right accessories n make-up could have been goth. She had a purse shaped like a fan. Make that a Victorian era lady’s fan with lace overlay now that was cool.

But the coolest part is that she’s married to Tim Burton who directed Beetle Juice. He’s a totally gothic director. Winona Ryder as Lydia in Beetle Juice is like a goth dead girl even tho she’s alive. If you know anything about dead girls that is a goth term and popular goth girl website. So was Lydia one of the first real gothic girls in a Hollywood film? Did girls start dressing like Lydia after the movie came out? I don’t know since it was back in the 80′s before my time. But I luv what Winona as Lydia is wearing here. It’s just pure goth. I want to work a doll into an outfit. Time to hit the thrift shops with my gfs. }Scarlet Angel{
