  1. Without a doubt, this is from the Mermaid Parade. The location is 12th Street and Boardwalk, Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. That's Deno's Wonder Wheel as well as a sliver of the former Astroland tower in the background. Even further in the background are the Luna Park Housing towers where Luna Park once stood. Ah Coney Island, if only I could tell some of the tales and adventures. Note also the barricades. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=12th+St.+and+BoardWalk+W.&sll=40.571996,-73.978007&sspn=0.007987,0.016329&ie=UTF8&hq=12th+St.+and+BoardWalk+W.&hnear=&ll=40.575761,-73.978007&spn=0.007579,0.016329&t=h&z=16&iwloc=B http://www.wonderwheel.com http://www.coneyisland.com/mermaid.shtml The Mermaid Parade is always a homegrown, grassroots affair where just about anything goes in a place that manages to be both family friendly and tolerant of everyone.
  2. Go to http://www.nitrolicious.com and then go to That defeats the referral hack in .htacess. And yes, those are pretty bad. They're meant for Manhattan.
  3. How are grills different from cheap fangs?
  4. It could be worse. At least it's not a dildo scarf.
  5. Reading up on SATA specs and data recovery.
  6. Combichrist - The Kill "There is no stopping of what can't be stopped. There is no killing of what can't be killed. First kill, one kill."
  7. Virtually speaking. I could call you, but it's after 9pm.

  8. She's got an Etsy store as well as attends many local art events (advertised via her myspace). The necklaces, bows and earrings are all reasonably priced with nothing over $15. The only problem I've had with her stuff is that the clasp on her necklaces is a little weird but workable.
  9. I have a pair of Reactor boots. If you can get them in your size, they're pretty indestructible and pretty pricey.
  10. This is the correct motorcycle. My look evolved from a constant evolution, trying new stuff, keeping what worked and putting aside what did not. In a very dark period a few years ago, I listened to a lot of Combichrist because I kind of wanted the entire world to be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust (as I recall, this was also a childhood dream) after what I had experienced. And so, I styled myself after what I felt a post-apocalyptic warrior girl would look like over the years. Along way I tried several other flavors of Goth, but ultimately, it's the ruins of Detroit and the simple fact that looking like I've woke up the last days of civilization comes easier than say fetishgoth or steampunk. Of course, as a Discordian and subject to extreme randomness, anything is possible and evolution will be constant. So, naturally, I gravitated towards dark colors, military surplus for accessories, stompy boots, ren faire patterns and gypsy-style layering with one or two worn elegant items like a corset or chain mail. It all makes sense if you're supposed to be dressed like a wanderer in a war after your hometown gets toasted. The military stuff can be pulled off the dead. The tech level gets pushed back to medieval/renaissance levels with a few steam elements thrown in. The elegant stuff is a throwback to the former times of glory. And the stompy boots? Why not? The future is too open for it to be pinned down in such a way for some fashionista to say this is how it should look. I like the extreme mods like implants, ear pointing and scarification over piercings (of which I have three in my face and that's it) and tattoos (of which I have two). Why? The heavier mods tend to be a bit rarer, but I simply like the rare, the strange, the odd, the unusual and the extreme. I've only met one person ever with pointed ears or a double bridge piercing in person, but I've been at parties where there were at least four (including myself) with split tongues. That kind of spurred me on in going beyond. In a year, I have the potential to take my 2nd generation equivalent horns to 5th generation, which is 7/8" tall. Only Louie the Mexicant Mutant and a small number of others would have larger horns. By the way, I travel with a freakshow. It's not work, but a lifestyle. Circus colors, random shiny pieces of steel and goth fabrics (and vice versus) are what are merging to form my new look for the next season.
  11. I dig lineman's/paratrooper boots and their artistic imitations by Demonia (Ranger 318 for example) and others. The problem is that the imitations fall apart. I also like the products of companies like Renaissance Moccasins. If you've been to a RenFaire, you know the style. Since I like to dress for the clubs as if Combichrist ruled the world, both make sense since one could grab the former off the dead and the latter can be made by anyone with leather and a knife in such a weird world.
  12. has run away with the sideshow

  13. On the stoop of a friend's house finishing up some coding for a mad man in a far away city living my dreams.
  14. Planning out the day: 1. Laundry 2. Cleaning ears. 3. Cleaning room 4. Head out to a friend to work on a new stilt costume that's more circus than goth, although I've got to start using the words "steampunk" and "ragamuffin" more to describe my costumes because they could be that and because people get weirded out by "goth" in the entertainment biz since they seem to think it just means Halloween.
  15. Ever see the spidora illusion at a sideshow or haunted house? Nothing like a half-woman, half-spider to brighten my day. Of course, she would definitely appreciate a small donation to help feed her 100 children.
  16. I just got word that my g. rosea successfully molted. My roommate thought she was dead until I cordially I informed her of the molting process. I know this because she understands that she better leave than have me come home to a dead spider.
  17. Cleaning some new mods, cleaning in general, and getting ready to do laundry.
  18. Refundable Fare No further discounts are available on this fare. Adult $85.00 Refundable Fare Web only fares. Adult $55.25 Non-refundable Adult $75.00 Non-refundable Web only fares. Adult $48.75 One Way Adults: 1 Departing: May 13, 2009 From: Southfield, MI To: New York, NY Miles: 720 Schedule: 4591 At: 04:45pm Via http://www.greyhound.com If she really wants to go to NYC, let her. It could be the best $50 you ever spend.
  19. So, will there be discussion of the novel Doble designs in this section or will you strictly limit yourself to that contraption that Mr. Ford has put on our roads?
  20. As for hair, I've only been hair tested ONCE. That was for a job at a Big 3 supplier back in 2004 for their IT department. They also did a urine test. I can't recall if they did a blood test or not. So, expect everything. Rather than damage your scalp, I would recommend just shaving the hawk off completely and letting it grow out fresh. It should be about 1/2" or so and gives you an excuse to be taking LOTS of vitamins by the time you would be testing.
  21. Sewing a prototype stilt legging in preparation for commissioning a pair from a designer in Chicago.
  22. He usually has it the first Sunday of every month with only a few exceptions.
  23. Sweet. As long as it does not conflict with Dr. Guy's bonfire I'm no longer allowed to breathe fire in his backyard due to some great balls of fire at a previous bonfire at his house. The blasts were so big and bright that the fire department was called in by the neighbors.
