Playlist of the week and advice for babybats!

So my busy life has gotten busier! As soon as I get out of class I have to start getting ready for work, and as soon as I get off work I have to do homework for classes! But I am trying to only get four days a week of work since the stress is probably going to give me ulcers. But Halloween is slowly creeping up and I almost have my costume together! (Oh and pictures will be posted of it!) Also since I have a legit camera now I can attempt to start making Youtube videos.

Here is this weeks music recommendations and tunes that I love and inspire my art.

Rammstein-Links 2 3 4

The 69 eyes-Sister of Charity

Pete and the Pirates-Blood Gets Thin

HIM- Join Me In Death

Screamin' Jay Hawkins- I Put A Spell on You


I also had this little idea to do a monthly "Baby bat advice" post. Because I know when I was just getting my bat wings I needed tips. But we all need a little guidance at least once in a while!

1. Make friends with everyone regardless of how they dress.

Some of my best friends are not goth at all. If I was to single out friends just based on how they look..well I would have no friends! Also if you are still in school if you decide to be rude or not socialize with others because they are not goth...well you look just as bad as the "popular" crowd. Just saying.

2. You do not have to wear black 24/7 to be considered goth.

I made this mistake and I thought I had to wear nothing but black all the time. If you set rules like this for yourself you will grow tired of them and eventually break them. And put yourself in a clothing rut! Despite what some elitists say..well just ignore the elitists...you can wear other colors. I tend to wear bright colors of eyeshadow to match other colors in my outfits. Try different colored tights, bright eyeshadow,various colors of jewelry, and even colored articles of clothing to make the all black pop. Trust me...you will not loose your "goth card".

3.  You can be interested in non-gothy things!

Not all goths read vampire books by candle light and frequent cemeteries. Some do not even like vampires! If you love playing the tuba and you are goth...do not stop playing because it is "not goth". Oh and you can paint your nails pink and watch football games. Loving things like this or even loving the color does not mean you are "not goth".
