Samhain/Halloween

This is kinda belated, but I've been so busy! >.<
Here are a few pics from Samhain/Halloween.
Hope you had a good one!
This was more or less my look for a party on 31st October, though I did change a few details in the end and put on some fake blood. I attended the 666 Hell-O-Wien party in Vienna, Austria.
It wasn't a perfect party and the venue was quite overcrowded, but at least I've met some of my friends and danced to some pretty good dj sets ^_^ *yay*

 

My outfit/costume consisted of:

stockings with bones (XtraX, Berlin, Germany)

garter belt (ebay)

black tights

skirt (Pimkie)

pvc corset (Burleska, Camden Town, London)

tie with a cross (Darkside, Camden Town, London)

black shirt/blouse (H&M)

short red fishnet gloves (New Yorker)

and choker (gift from my bf<3)

I had a nice time at that party and danced quite a bit ^.^ Hope you had a good day, too!

Drop Dead in Berlin

It’s been already about two weeks since Im back from Germany, but I didnt have enough time yet to write a  report on our Berlin-Drop Dead trip. So finally here’s the story of our awesome holiday in Berlin:)

 Sightseeing

As for sightseeing, we saw interesting places in the city center likeAlexanderplatz, Branderburger Tor, Berliner Dom(Berlin Cathedral), Reichstag and Unter den Linden, but also East Side Gallery and Tacheles, that was really nice! We also went to The Ramones Museum, which was fun:)) And we walked alot through the city and took pics of whatever we liked.

 

Some tips for sightseeing:

(We didn’t have time to go everywhere, eventhough we’d love to..next time I go to berlin I have to see the rest ;) )

Branderburger Tor; Berliner Dom; Reichstag; Alexanderplatz; Unter den Linden; Molecule Man, East Side Gallery; Checkpoint Charlie; Topography of Terror; Tacheles; Grusselkabinet; Charlottenburg; The Ramones Museum; Schwules Museum; Madam Tussauds Museum

Shopping 

As for shops, we have been to a few gothic shops, my favourite of those we visited could be Darkstore, Xtrax, Dunkelwelt and Noctemwear. Also Mystica has some nice stuff. I was abit dissapointed Vampiria is closed down and Plaste Elaste was not open for some reason, also we didnt find Blue Moon Shoes  at Danziger Straße, maybe it is close down, too? We have also been to Location Crypt, which is quite small and expensive and doesnt have almost any accesories. Apart from gothic shops, I wanted to go to some Japanese shop, so we went to Neo Tokyo. Compared to the Neo Tokyo shop in Munich this one is really small and doesnt have a big choice of clothes and accesories, but at least there was some nice manga and cd’s.

…But the best part of the holiday was: Drop Dead Festival. We had such a great time at DDF. We have seen some very nice concerts, danced to lots of minimal wave and deathrock and met really lovely people <3 This festival was sooo nice I cant really describe it in words properly...so pics instead :D

I miss DDF! Hopefully we’ll be there next year too;)

Through the looking glass

A few photos from my recent Alice-inspired photoshoot(: The location is Schonbrunn in Vienna and the photographer Frank Sanders. It was a nice shoot with a really good photographer, only the weather was too hot, I felt as if I was melting down =P There will be more pics at my modelmayhem soon.

Holiday time

In less than a month I will be travelling to Berlin for 11 days with my boyfriend, I cant wait!:)
While looking forward to sightseeing & partying in Germany, Im also remembering last year's holiday, which was so much fun! Let's have a look at my friends' and mine goth invasion to London xD

Sightseeing: There's so much to see in London, there is the Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Traffalgar Square, and I could go on and on..other stuff I would recommend visiting is for example London's Dungeon. That was so much fun..it's not just another horror house, visit it and you will see ;) We had lots of fun there and felt like small kids again xD we also liked the souvenir shop next to the Dungeon, they have some funny and cute stuff..even the toilets in Dungeon are stylish! :D Then there's of course the Maddam Tussaud's museum. We picked another museum to visit randomly, since there's so much of them..The Horrocks museum of fashion sounded nice, but in the end turned out abit boring..we thought it would show clothing of all history periods, or at least some of them, but this one concentrated only on the clothing of the 60's..which was fun for the first 15 minutes, but then became a bit monotonous. Anyway, it seems like you can see some interesting buildings and sights wherever you go in London, even the Victoria metro station in the city centre is a wonderful place to be at..London breaths with history and beautiful architecture.

 Shopping: Camden Town in London is one of my favourite places for shopping. Thats where we did shopping for clothes and shoes with my goth family, we didn't have enough time to explore other areas in London as for shopping, but Im sure you would find nice shops also elsewhere. In Camden Town you have some great shops and markets all close to each other. My three most favourite shops in Camden are: Cyberdog, Burleska and Gothic Lolita & Punk, but it's difficult to choose my favourites, because there were lots of good shops, to name a few that I loved: The Black Rose, Darkside, Criminal Damage, Sai Sai, Chaos, Collectif, Dark Angel.

Dark Angel had some nice synthetic hair extensions.

English-style coffin bag :) nice

Did a little shopping in Cyberdog:)

We love Stables Market(:

This shop had the cutest vintage advertisements

Shoes, shoes and more shoes in Camden Town xD

Clubbing: My most favourite club in London is Slimelight. Great music, both traditional goth and industrial & electro, pretty interior, nice people, not expensive as for entry and drinks..simply a perfect club! We also liked Electric Ballroom, mainly because of the music, eventhough the security guys there weren't nice at all. I guess we would have liked Antichrist even more, but we haven't been there. Next time Im in London I need to go there. Other than this we havent been clubbing much, we were once in The Purple Turtle (which looks really nice, btw) and in Hobgoblin (formerly called Devonshire Arms). We didnt like Hobgoblin at all, it has become a metal pub now. It's a pity that the pubs and club, if they are open, close at midnight during the week, at least at the weekends there are some nice clubs where you can stay all night, like Slimelight and Antichrist.

Now I just wish to go again to London sometimes soon! ;)
