I promise to spend the profits on the Beetlejuice blazer from La Femme En Noir. 😁

For those still on the hellscape of FB (yeah, I'm still there, there are friends who aren't anywhere else), I just posted a dress, shoes, and two pieces of jewelry for sale. In case anyone is interested. 😀

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

You look fabulous today!
It's not easy to pull off that bold mix of rumpled sweaters, exhaustion, and the dusty darkness of a cluttered used bookstore.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Listen to a song you like and dance around. Drink some water, take your meds.
-You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
-The Distant Ominous Music may try some new instruments; be prepared for extra weirdness.

Awwww, Podkayne! (That was also in the running as a potential name for me.)

Oh lord, I can only imagine how tedious that would be.

I already have one (that I want to keep b&w), so I know the gores are necessary to give the effect I want over my skirts.

Goth Auntie @cupcakegoth.bsky.social · 1d

Note to Self: set aside some money in the next few weeks in order to buy this, then dye it pink and have The Madwoman in the Attic add the gores to the side of the peplum/skirt.

(I also have strong feelings about the book because of the annoying nonsense I had to go through in high school once my nerdy male friends realized I was named after one of the characters. No, I don't want to "share water", I want to punch you for suggesting it.)

Yes, I know Stranger in a Strange Land is a weird read that gives Yet Another Look into Robert Heinlein's id. IWhile It deserves its place in sci-fi canon, I probably wouldn't recommend anyone read it

It's not the right wing taking away words, it's people who work in the tech industry not knowing what the word actually means, having probably not read the science fiction classic it came from.

OH MY GOD, I WANT "GROK" REMOVED FROM THE VOCABULARY OF ALL SOFTWARE PEOPLE.

(I've read Stranger in a Strange Land. Grok includes sacred cannibalism, dammit.)

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie:
-Lift your arms and raise them up and down 10 times. Drink some water, take your meds.
-No one is getting everything done. It’s not just you.
-The Cursed Object got stuck in the walls, but don’t worry. It always finds its way out.

It's still a reality show, with the drama of one, but the drag acts and costumes are AMAZING.

I can honestly say my life would be very different without her books. The Vampire Chronicles was an inspiration for Vampire: the Masquerade, people created the LARPing club, from which I made lifelong friends, and got a job at WotC, where I met my (then) future husband.

Thank you, Anne Rice.

Happy Birthday to Anne Rice, the brilliant mind behind The Vampire Chronicles! She would have been 84 today.
