What The Hell Is Pastel Goth?

When pastel goth style first exploded I heard a lot of people, myself included, wondering what it actually is – as the information about it was still in it’s infancy. But I stumbled across this video on YouTube, while searching for makeup tips, that gives a pretty broad account of it. What do you guys think?

Outfit: Pink and Black Stripes

I was sitting on my computer talking to my Coen when fashion inspiration suddenly hit! It doesn’t look as good, as it did in my mind, on the photo but oh well. I pulled together a spooky children outfit, consisting of:

Blouse: Thrifted.
Broach (which is annoyingly lop sided): Gift – Kitty – Dracula Clothing.
Skirt: Gift – Parents
Stockings: Jolly Ollies
Shoes(that you can’t see): Mary-Janes – Gift

Most expensive thing in this outfit were the stocking which I bought from a very cheap store (they were still over priced) and they still didn’t fit. So I decided to cut them and made them into thigh highs, which is what happens to all of my stockings eventually. There was, to my joy, actually Halloween merchandise in town! Sure, it was the exact same things in each store and they were all over priced but I was just happy to have some Halloween around me!

Best Wishes,

Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl

This is (in my opinion) one of the most adorable and hilariously creepy cartons and comics I have ever seen, created by Roman Dirge. Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl stars an adorable little girl named Lenore (of course!), who is based on the Poem Lenore and other contributing poems (For example The Raven) by Edgar Allen Poe, and her vampire dolly sidekick: Ragamuffin. Throughout the series we follow Lenore and Ragamuffin throughout various scenarios watching adoringly, horrified and amused all at once.

Lenore is, of course, a little dead girl who comes back to life to play and explore in a small town called Nevermore. She keeps many pets and loves creatures but ends up killing them all in her naive innocence. We follow her through her adventures of exploring the wilderness of her mansion and nearby graveyard. Ragamuffin on the other hand is much older and wiser, having been a vampire in a former life which was turned into a doll by one of his victim’s, sister. Lenore found him and added him to her toy box, happily unaware.

At first glance this cartoon will seem very childish but it can also be very gruesome and darkly humored. Surprisingly a lot of aspects of the cartoon and comic are based of the works of Edgar Allen Poe, including the name of the town, Nevermore (From The Raven) and other such features. I’m sure this cartoon won’t be for everyone but it is only 26 episodes of only fifteen minute and worth checking out! Roman Dirges website (Which is listed below) also has a gallery of his finer artwork. Why not have a look and release your inner Gothling? Who knows, you might enjoy it.
