Blog Update
Hello my freaky darlings - just a quick post today!
I have decided to change up my blog to take away the geek aspect which I moved to another blog and focus more on just the Gothy and creative side.

Choosing my Style
Hello my freaky darlings!
So as I have mentioned in past posts, I am indeed working on re-inventing my wardrobe and choosing a style. It's been a rather interesting process as I have been bouncing back and forth between a few styles so I figured that I would talk about that a bit today.
When I first started trying to choose a new style I was focused on creating a Rockabilly wardrobe. I love the sexuality of the Rockabilly style along with its curve friendly appeal. However after two poorly fitted shirts, I found myself feeling a tad disheartened so I backed away from that decision.
From there I headed into Romantic Goth territory - heavily inspired by bloggers like Suski from DesperateHell and MothMouth from Through the Looking Glass. However, I rather quickly realized how PRICEY it would be to create such a lace and corset filled wardrobe. Alongside that of course was also the fact that I am a plus-size chica so finding clothing in this style would be quite difficult on my budget.
While admiring the beauty of these two bloggers I also found myself falling in love with Lolita fashion though from the begining I knew that it would be practically impossible to afford or stick to such a strict fashion so I moved off to more casual lolita, inspired by gorgeous lovelies on Tumblr and blogging beuts such as SaryWalrus from The Walrus Room and CatacombxKitten who writes Graveyard Picnic.
To this day I still consider Casual Lolita quite often as a new fashion.
From Casual Lolita I moved to Casual Goth as illustrated by the talented Asu Rocks. I rather quickly decided though that while this style looks smashing on her, on my curvy frame I would look way to immature and I moved on to -
Pastel Goth, but this was a VERY short infatuation as I realized that I would have to die my gorgeous red hair to real suit the style (EEP!)
As soon as this love affair ended I moved on to greener pastures - or rather I moved onto more kitschy pastures as I fell in love with Gothabilly, a love I still struggle with.
What's a girl to do? Any suggestions freaklings?

Plus-size Problems
Hello my freaky darlingsSo today's post is going to be a little bit more of a serious post and I suspect that it is one that effects a lot of young women in the subculture community - whether it be Goth, Punk, Rockabilly or lolita.
Before I start this I need to explain something about my family. I received my Father's genes - which means that I am quite curvy, while my fabbydoodle younger sister gained my Mom's tinier genes.
Usually this doesn't bother me but recently it has come to bother me. My sister and I are very VERY similar when it comes to fashion sense.
Here's the problem: I'm a plus size (43in bust - 37in waist - 50in hips) and my sister is itty-bitty so that immediately means that she can fit and look good in practically ANYTHING (well except corsets or bust based tops).
I adore my little sister but it seriously sucks when I get pigeonholed into flowy skirts and dumpy tops while my sister can wear any gothy-lolita-punky-or even rockabilly look she could ever want.
And
then added to that is how most subculture clothing is more based
towards tinier people and even buying online is difficult due to a lack
of sizing.
I suppose I could sew all my stuff but I am a highly busy student with no sewing talent what-so-ever and even after taking a Fashion class I continue to suck.
Another problem is the fact that my sister has a natural flair from style, makeup and hair styling while I am just epic fail. My makeup skills are super bleah even with the amount of tutorials I watch and my hair is essentially how they describe Hermione's hair in 'Harry Potter'.
A lot of people would just say - why don't you try losing weight? I eat when I'm upset/angry or just
plain happy and I get even more upset when people point out to me that I
am eating poorly cause it feels like I have just failed at one more
thing in life.
I
suck at working out because I am just too
uncomfortable in my own skin to work out in most situations and the
places I am comfortable don't effect things like weight gain.
So in general - what's a plus size girl to do?

Rockabilly Clothing Brand
Hello my freaky darlings!
So back in February I created an 'Alternative Clothing Brands' post which focused mainly on more Goth styled clothing brands.
But since I am stilling the process of creating my wardrobe I decided to do a new post that features another style I really like: Rockabilly!
Pin Up Girl Clothing
First off we have Pin Up Girl Clothing which is based out of Los Angelas. Pin Up Girl Clothing, often shortened to PUG, is great for us ladies with a curvier silhouette but always read the comments and reviews on the products or you could end up with a dud like I tragically did.
PUG features some seriously gorgeous dresses that can be used for a multitude of occasions and come in a variety of classic silhouettes. However, the site also features great tops, skirts, shorts and pants. BE WARNED PUG CLOTHING IS KINDA PRICEY!
Sourpuss Clothing
Sourpuss is one of my absolute fave brands as far as rockabilly clothing! This brand has a massive variety of products including both wearable and home ware items and can be easily found on sites such as EBay and Amazon. Only major dilemna to note - it doesn't have a wide variety of sizes such and only goes up to 2X.
Sourpuss has a great variety of clothing styles including dresses, tops, and bottoms and it also creates some seriously adorable cardigans which are fabulous wardrobe staples.
Cats Like Us
Cats Like Us is a smaller site that I have discovered on my travels but nonetheless impressive in its stock of items. The only big problem with this site - it runs out of stock A LOT!
Out of all the sites I have reviewed this far, Cats Like Us has the BEST stock when it comes to fun printed t shirts. But that's not saying that it doesn't have a few cute fashion tops as well. It also has a good stock of skirts and dresses, many of which are nearly impossible to find anywhere else!
Angry, Young and Poor
Angry, Young and Poor is a pretty popular site amongst people in the alternative fashion scene as it caters to not only rockabilly's but goths and punks as well. Like Sourpuss Clothing, this site has alot of variety in the things that it sells so it's not only a clothing site but more of a lifestyle site.
The site features pretty much any type of clothing that a person could want including bathing suits, jackets and even mens clothing. One major thing to note about this site is that it sells products from other brands so you may want to search around to make sure you are getting the best deal.

Con-G Report Part II
Hello again my freaky darlings and welcome to part two of the Con-G report!
Friday
So Friday started off kind of badly for me as I was stressing over my Rogue cosplay. After trying it on all together I discovered that I did not feel at all comfortable wearing it and now I doubt if it will be worn to Anime North.
Anyway so I ultimately chose to wear my Fiona cosplay from 'Adventure Time' (which I promise to post pictures of once I find some!) and all was peaceful once more in the funky verse!
So we headed to Con-G and once we got there I was delighted to see that the Pre-registration line was completely empty! I love being rewarded for planning ahead!
After registration my sister and I puttered around for awhile until she found out that there was a 'Homestuck Photoshoot' so she headed to that and I sat around chatting with a nice chica and lamented my hunger which was quenched post photoshoot with a hotdog!
I also developed a brief cosplay crush on a cute Jack Frost cosplayer I saw but I got over it once I came to the conclusion that he was likely gay based on his mannerisms (though I still got a picture with him on Saturday).
The main reason I chose to go on Friday was actually to attend a 'Nerd Speed Dating' event that was being held and after humming and hawing over whether I wanted to go I ultimately decided to (with a lot of sisterly encouragement).
The event ended up being rediculously popular despite concerns that it may end up as a sausage-fest (aka all guys) and we ended up with 40 people (20 girls and 20 guys).
It all ran quite smoothly: we had 3 minutes with each person and the guys had to move, not the girls! If you liked someone then you would put a check beside there name on your sheet, which was handed back to the attendant. If the other person gave you a check than the attendants would email you their email!
There were some very nice people there and I ultimately found myself becoming fond of one particular gentlemen in a military uniform (yes he was in the military) but of course I was worried that he wouldn't choose me..
Saturday
I decided to wear my floofy Stocking dress on Saturday and though I wasn't wearing my Stocking wig, I decided to wear my Rogue wig, resulting in a gothic Belle sort of look. We arrived around 10 but quickly decided that we wouldn't be able to last to our original 4PM pick up time because:
a.) My dress was waaaaay to poofy to fit through the hall
and
b.) Con-G is a smaller con and there isn't that much to do
So we stayed till 2. I also did my major purchasing that day and I ended up with 2 necklaces, a pair of Bombomb earrings, 2 hair bows, and a new wig for my Stocking cosplay. For some reason I buy a lot of handmade stuff at Con-G, though I have no idea why.
Best part of the day: running into the cute military guy in the dealers room and we ended up exchanging numbers and have been talking ever since!
For some reason I ended up getting quite ill once I got home and we never really found out why though I was fine the next day!
Sunday
The last day of the con and the latest starting one as I didn't arrive until 12PM rather than the usual 9AM. The first half of the morning I spent hanging out with Military Man (squee) and then I hung out with my sister and another one of my Anime North cosplay friends (and one of her friends who was lovely)!
I actually attended my first panel (EVER) this year when my sister and I ended up wandering into a 'Ask the Homestuck Characters Panel' which was actually a lot of fun! I think I may have to attend more of these. I know shows like Hetalia (eyuck) and My Little Pony have them so we have decided to check out some of those at AN maybe.
The rest of the day was spent in the Dealers room as my sister spent the last of her con money and I ran into military man a few more times, thus resulting in many more awesome hugs.
So overall, Con-G was FABULOUS!

Con-G Cons:
- The new space feels smaller than the last years, despite being larger
- The large green Dalek, though awesome, took up way too much space while going through the halls
- There wasn't enough outside locations for food
- Not a lot of dealers in the Dealers Room
- Not enough photoshoot locations
Con-G Pros:- Really well organized panels!
- A lot cheaper than most cons - $30 versus the $60 for Anime North
- A truly great first con for young con goers due to its simple layout
- Probably the friendliest con-goers
- Great time of the year: cold weather is great for a lot of cosplays
- Great gaming (or so I have heard)
- Lots of seating for relaxing

Bodyline
Hello my freaky darlings!
So today I'm going to be talking about my newest web-session : BODYLINE!
My new obsession with lolita fashion has led me to exploring around for not too pricey lolita clothing stores that offer larger size ranges for ladies, like myself, who have lovely lady lumps.
The main 2 sites I found were Fanplusfriend and Bodyline.
Both of these sites have a good variety of sizes (though I think Fanplusfriend has a wider variety) and some seriously lovely pieces.
However, I have heard some seriously questionable reviews for Fanplusfriend so Bodyline definitely became more trustworthy in my eyes (especially after watching tons of reviews on Youtube and reading a lot of reviews).
Mainly I have found myself being completely obsessed with their more gothic and kuro lolita based items.
Some of the stuff is a little too bow attacked for my liking but from what I have heard, the bows are very easy to remove.
I have also come to realize that the size I would need, 4L (yeah I can admit that) doesn't come in a lot of the items, but that doesn't bother me too much since that way I won't go and buy EVERYthing.
Things that come in 4L (and I actually like)
L378
L161
L135
L379
L348
L110
The only sad thing is how DAMN hard it is to find nice skirts in 4L.
And a few Bodyline tips

- When it doubt go a size up - it's easier to get something tightened then to loosen something
- Be careful with shoe sizes - the shoes are in Japanese size which are very different
- If it looks like cheap lace it probably is
- If it looks costumey (as in Halloweeny not cosplay-ee) then don't buy it
- Black and a lot of white lace are usually not a good bet

Alternative Clothing Brands
Hello my freaky darlings!
So with me planning out a new wardrobe I have been looking through a lot of different alternative clothing brands and I have decided to do a wee look over on my favorite alternative brands!
Hell Bunny
Hell Bunny is awesome! I love Hell Bunny! I love the name, I love the prints, I love the designs, and I love how easy it is to find its products on the internet!
Mainly Hell Bunny makes adorable swing style and wiggle style dresses that range in length and pattern, though mainly the dresses are knee-length I find.
Poizen Industries
I think I will call Poizen Industries the 'hoodie and sweater' store, though the brand also features tight dresses and adorable almost lolita-ish coats.
Unlike Hell Bunny, Poizen Industries' products have more modern prints like cats or bunny hoodies and have more of a fitted look.
Too Fast
This brand features a lot of great tops featuring really interesting imagery and bright colours like lime green and aqua blue.
The brand does have a few dresses in its collections, most of which are either wiggle dresses or a few short bell dresses.
Lip Service
Gorgeous brand is gorgeous! So much lace, ahhh so dreamy! Unlike the last two brands Lip Service does not really feature patterns, instead focusing on lace and other Victorian or millitary-esque details.
Lip service has a really wide range of products ranging from blouses to intimates with a variety of cuts and styles. Like Hell Bunny it is also really easy to find everywhere online!
Spin Doctor
If you're into the Victorian, Gothic Lolita or even Steampunk scene than Spin Doctor is definitely the brand to look for. The thing I like about Spin Doctor is how
Colour wise, Spin Doctor features mainly black, khaki green, grey and ruby red and features a lot of buttons and corset detailing.
What about you lovelies? Do you have any favorite clothing brands?

Wardrobe Haul Post
Hello my freaky darlings!
So one of my five New Years resolutions is to develop my own style. Style is a topic that has been on my mine a lot lately and I have switched between multiple style decisions as of late.
But while searching through the magical inter webs I came across the Wardrobe haul posts of Sary Walrus of The Walrus Room, VelvetBat of Bats and Bunnies, and Mary Rose of The Everyday Goth.
All 3 of these bloggers did Wardrobe haul posts of their own, while following an example first laid out by Woxje and I figured that it would be a good way too go about my purchasing decisions (especially with all my prepaid cards burning a hole in my lovely purse)!
So first up was to look at colours!
Not surprisingly my first and major colour is black which is pretty much a staple in my daily and more formal wardrobe. The jewel toned blue, red, purple and green are always great for a pop of colour as is the pink which is my favorite colour. White and grey are both just nice accent colours.
Kitschy prints! Kitschy prints everywhere! Oh how I love some good kitsch in my daily life (particularly for skirts).
Pixel Jewellery - I have recently decided to take up the hobby of making perler bead jewellery and I am sooo excited to express my geekery though my handmade jewellery.
High-waisted Skirts - High-waist skirts are just so flattering when one has a wee bit of a tummy like myself.
Cardigans - I am always cold! And with cardigans I can mix and match outfit looks to create new styles
Waist cinching belts - Great for adding definition and to show off the fact that I have an hourglass shape (also make great pops of colour).
Plunging Necklines - My own arrogance towards my breasts is the main reason (other than price) which keeps me from ever fulling exploring my love for the lolita fashion. So I will add more plunging necklines to my wardrobe!
Poofy styled skirts - I got a lovely red swing skirt recently and it has made my realize how much happier I am in
Gothy hair accessorie - My hair really suits ribbon and flower clips
Lolita Dresses - I really do love lolita dresses and I wouldn't mind adding a few either bittersweet or gothic dresses to my wardrobe (likely Fanplusfriend, Bodyline, or Ebay)

All 3 of these bloggers did Wardrobe haul posts of their own, while following an example first laid out by Woxje and I figured that it would be a good way too go about my purchasing decisions (especially with all my prepaid cards burning a hole in my lovely purse)!
Not surprisingly my first and major colour is black which is pretty much a staple in my daily and more formal wardrobe. The jewel toned blue, red, purple and green are always great for a pop of colour as is the pink which is my favorite colour. White and grey are both just nice accent colours.
High-waisted Skirts - High-waist skirts are just so flattering when one has a wee bit of a tummy like myself.
Cardigans - I am always cold! And with cardigans I can mix and match outfit looks to create new styles
Waist cinching belts - Great for adding definition and to show off the fact that I have an hourglass shape (also make great pops of colour).
Plunging Necklines - My own arrogance towards my breasts is the main reason (other than price) which keeps me from ever fulling exploring my love for the lolita fashion. So I will add more plunging necklines to my wardrobe!
Poofy styled skirts - I got a lovely red swing skirt recently and it has made my realize how much happier I am in
Gothy hair accessorie - My hair really suits ribbon and flower clips
Lolita Dresses - I really do love lolita dresses and I wouldn't mind adding a few either bittersweet or gothic dresses to my wardrobe (likely Fanplusfriend, Bodyline, or Ebay)
