Gypsies, Oracles, Palmistry, Diviniation, Dada Landscapes, and Acid for $1.00.*

just some of my favorites from the past week's tumblr extravaganza at beastly oracle, my other oracle of beasts. (everything is linked but it seems there is some confusion about clicking the links to the right. all of my sites are linked here so check it so i don't have to repeat upon recent requests! thanks, dudes.)*

Witchsters and Gypsters.*

it's like malcom gladwell's idea of the tipping point: all of the sudden, things become wildly popular and everyone is into the same trends. in a way, it's cool to see the things i've loved since puberty finally being appreciated, but it's also annoying that things get so appropriated. so it is with all things goth at this moment: everyone is a tarot reader or a gypsy (or, as i recently heard, a "gypster," or a "witchster" ha!), everyone wears black lace and capes and witch boots and loves upside-down crosses and stones and chains and cats and owls...i was talking with my fellow OG goth homegurl on friday night and we were lamenting over this recent aesthetic appreciation of our ever-cherished subculture and the neverending phenomenon of co-opting subcultures for popular culture. there's more to it than black lipstick, dudes (even though we know it does look realllllly cool).*

The Cobra Shop + Cat Pillow Love.*

over the summer, ian and i went to go check out the cobra shop and ian sold a bunch of posters there and i brought some pillows to decorate...here they live, on the couch in front of the video games, for cute little cool kids to lounge on. i love the check he got from them; they are so endearing..the memo says, "For: CAT" in like 1st grader writing. boy handwriting rules.*

Hamburgers and Milk Thieves in the Night.*

so i am working on an official website. have some magickal plans that i am preparing for. excited and hopeful and anxious to get started....so i will post a link to the new and improved website very soon....but until then, can i just say that i ate [a bite of] my first hamburger in about 13 years the other day? it took lots of balls, but i figured that one only has the pleasure of being served a gourmet hamburger by a real czech prostitute once in a lifetime....kali shared her diablo and i conquered my guilty fear, and then marla tried to come up on her cereal potpourri that i made her. (she is a notorious milk thief.) thanks to youngbuff for the rainbow documentation of this momentous event.*

On the Road and Back Again.*

swamps and legal driving while drinking out of hot pink, plastic cups. dead mystery fish from the past and trash. rain and no bra and streetlights and sunblock. humidity and music notes. french pastries and cafe au lait. i want to go back there.*
