Dark shadows and vanity table DIY

Feeling all victorian witchy today. Cleaning and decorating is so calming while watching Criminal minds, Hannibal movies and Dark Shadows, which I started to watch again. Only soap opera I am willing to watch! I love the mood in it and how every motion is so over the top and they need to watch in the great distance where nobody else doesn´t see.. Music is amazing and even though I already know the family secrets (because the movie and all) I still love to wait and see how Victoria reveals them.

I didn´t tell you guys that I got a chance to go botanical garden in Turku early in this year, I wish I would have took more pictures but what can you do.. It was so beautiful! This little pong even had koi fishes in it! I had never seen them before and they were huge, I wish I had pictures of them too..

And look what goodies I am getting this week! New little babies for my cabinet of curiosity (add zillion hearts here). The little batties are the ones I am waiting for the most, 2 skeletons and 1 dried one, so cute! All of these will look amazing in our bat cave. Little clocks will have transformation to new covers for few skeletons. Few years ago I had 1 globe clock but I think I throw it away accidentally..

My current painting project is my vanity table which I keep in the bedroom. I don´t use it that much and mostly it´s just covered well.. stuff. I decided to make it more me, so maybe it will be in more use. Mu husband found it for me and it is second hand, it was free. So only thing that cost in this DIY for me, is the paints, which I already bought for my other projects and didn´t use that much so this was perfect. Paint was dry after 2 hours and the big black one was so good one for this one. I even have still to paint something else! I still need to fix the drawers.. or maybe I want them to be ombre.. really can´t decide. I got the idea to paint insides red from GIY´s blog (which is amazing, go check it out). I have seen many others to do this too, but I think I first see it on there. Absolutely gorgeous dresser by the way. I think I want the ornaments or something beautifully detailed things in my vanity table too. And later on I am going to get new nobs, maybe crystal or victorian detailed, which I love oh so much.

Half human, half wolf

Lately I have been watching horror movies yet again. When you start think about horror movies in bigger view, you can´t wonder why so many in goth culture like to watch horror movies. Obviously everybody doesn´t like them, we all are individuals and you can´t like all the things, not only because what other might expect from sertain style, lifestyle or type of person you are. Anywho, why most of the goths like horrormovies, is, I think, because when the movies has been made visually well , the outcome is pure eyecandy. My today´s movie, The Wolfman (2010), is compination of many basic horror elements. Graveyards, big mansion, scary beast in the fog, angry mob trying to get the quilty one, howling in the full moon...

Yes, I am talking about werewolfes. Movie is beautifully made. Only thing that bothers me, is the outlook of the werewolf. But we all have own ideas what kind of those creatures are supposed to be like. Transformer was well made, plot includes only what is important and I didn´t get bored while watching it. In victorian era they knew how to sorrow and dress. Yep, because the Hannibal lecter and Mr Smith (Emily Blunt with her beautiful dresses, to die for), I give this four sculls. I recommend this to everyone who loves victorian era and wolfies. Watch it with candle light and good porcorn.

Ginger snaps (2000) 

Voi jestas siis.. ensinnäkin luulin näiden kolmen olevan täysiä paskoja ensimmäisestä lähtien. Mutta itseasiassa nää taitaakin mennä listojen kärkeen, varsinkin ihmissusi ja muu kategoriassa. 

Olipa kerran Brigitte ja Ginger, teini-ikäiset siskokset. Kukaan ei tunnu välittävän heistä, ovathan he pukeutuneet synkästi (ah gootteja) ja koulun projektiinkin tehdään kuolemasta oma näkemys. Elämä muuttuu turhankin lähelle oikeita kuolemia, kun Gingeria haavoittaa, mikäpäs muu, kuin ihmissusi.

This is just pure awesomeness. Gothic sisters Brigitte and Ginger are inspired by death (even in school projects) and nobody likes them.. until Ginger meet werewolf in the forest.
