The Encyclopedia Gothica book review!

So If you did not know I work at a store called Books A Million. I recently ordered a book called The Encyclopedia Gothica. This book has a handy dandy family tree of Goth bands and Gothic places to visit before all around the world.

Bats bridge in Austin, Texas? This is on my bucket list. The way the book is sorted is of course an A to Z encyclopedia. From Absinthe to Zombies, I really enjoy this book. If you are not too knowledgeable of classic Goth bands or certain aspects of the culture I really recommend this book because of its format. I bought it just because. And of course it has little snarky comments here and there. It says the Perky Goth is "prone to bouncing.", and this is definitely relevant to me. I bounce...deal with it!

Horrid lighting!

The book itself is beautiful but not as big as I imagined it to be. The cover looks aged and the pages look distressed. Better than what I expected!

Also I have recently fallen in love with grey eyeshadow. I took pictures after a random day of Lost Boys inspiration. I also teased my hair and did a faux side shave look. So do you have a favorite gothy book?

Oh and I love wearing only one ear ring. Viva la 80's!
