Clicky-link to a shiny thing, and a photo relevant to Gothy Interests

[cupcake_goth]

Firstly, have you people seen the fabulous Corset Inspector badge available over at Girl Genius? Designed by Cheyenne Wright, it is absolutely delightful. Trust me, you want this.



Second, a photo relevant to Gothy Interests! Of a young Andrew Eldritch, without sunglasses. I know! I did not think such a thing existed!





The Stroppy One thinks I'm crazy for thinking this, but I very firmly believe that if you took a photo of the Stroppy One from the same era and did some photoshop hijinks with the hair, the Stroppy One and Mr. Eldritch would look like brothers. It's a little eerie.

Omg, he looks like s'one I dated in college (or I guess, the other way 'round). I feel so ... cliched.

I used to work in a job that sold badges to the police, and, I have to say that I'm actually quite impressed with the design. It manages to capture the professionalism of a real badge while still remaining cheeky and cute.

I'm normally not into these novelty badges, but I am all ready thinking of a hundred cute uses for this one.

Good god... that's... he's... I... what... no sunglasses...? *faints from shock*

(And that badge is super cute!)

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

He still looks like Steve Dallas.

Badge is OMG full of cute.

THe pic of Andrew... I just... I ... he has actual eyeballs? I thought the glasses had been surgically implanted as a replacement.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

he does with glasses even more.

I always thought that was on purpose. Although it is something of a chicken/egg issue for me.

[theosakakoneko.livejournal.com]

Wow, 30 years ago and he still looks not that young...how old was he there?

[smu.livejournal.com]

Eeeee, Andrew! *swoon*

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Oh geez, I don't know if I've ever made that connection before, but you are 100% right!!

I know the designer and he spent a long time researching badges before designing this. It might have been based off a customs badge, I can't remember. The Corset Inspector is made from metal and looks as good as the image FWIW.

Warrel said they are playing with SoM somewhere in Europe at a festival. He intends to walk up and talk to him and let him know NM covered Lucretia. I asked how his reflexes where as I think the only group he hates more than goths are metal dudes. :P

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE to be there for that conversation.

Also, tell Warrel I need a copy of that cover version right now.

After I got done goggling at the photo, I thought, "Oh, smu NEEDS to see this ..."

[lilmartini.livejournal.com]

Get on IM. I can send it to you. jenmartini1 on whichever you use.

[smu.livejournal.com]

You know me FAR too well! I'm amazed that I've never seen this picture. He has lovely eyes. Amazing.

[lilmartini.livejournal.com]

Eh, nevermind, I only have the raw vox recording. I can get a copy for you.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! thank you!

[ghostworld00.livejournal.com]

Oh Andrew! **waves fan**

[krypt-kitten.livejournal.com]

A shame Eldrich is such a jerk!

[minim_calibre]

He has EYEBALLS?

Corset Inspector badge

Oh, that's SO going to be a birthday present for The Boy!

[wickedsnicket.livejournal.com]

Eyes! Steve Dallas resemblance...eyes...it's a lot to process.

[morfydd.livejournal.com]

I'm going to that festival: http://www.fkpscorpio.com/meraluna/

Take a look at the lineup and tell me how much you hate me. :)

[lilmartini.livejournal.com]

I don't know you and I'm going to have to hate you on spec. wow.
hate?
envy?

/cry

[morfydd.livejournal.com]

Victory!

What a shame, this lineup looks a thousand times better than that of the WGT. I hope next year will be better... Though I had a lot of fun watching completely overdressed people swooping through Leipzig. *hahaha* But seriously, the lineup... *shakes head*

[morfydd.livejournal.com]

I had only three shows I wanted to see at WGT: Diamanda Galas, The Legendary Pink Dots, and Gene Loves Jezebel. The first two canceled at the last minute, and the third rescheduled to oh-God-thirty at the last minute. I did see a couple of pleasant shows, but yeah, I certainly didn't go for the lineup.

What's weird about M'Era Luna is that the outfits/makeup/hair rival WGT. At a CAMPING event. It's crazy.

[donnaricci.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that exact same thing. He pisses on alot of the people who gave him money/ respect. *sigh*

[tzuki17.livejournal.com]

despite his atrocious manners (clearly he never came across you or your book) I still intend to have this photograph printed, laminated & attached to my office wall. Tomorrow morning. Before anything else.

[savannarama.livejournal.com]

*gasp*

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, you lucky, lucky brat. I am very envious.

[mariedauphine.livejournal.com]

FINALLY! i get to see him without the glasses! Thats a very nice photo! :D
I hung out with him at his after party in Hollywood. He's very nice and so calm.

As the only Strapping young Gothy Lad in my enclave trusted with the daunting task of tightening laces for the... how you say.... more... Rubenesque, ladies of a Gothy nature, I shall take serious consideration on purchasing that inspector's badge.

As well as a pair of those adorable bottle green and black goggles they have.^^

[morfydd.livejournal.com]

::is smug::

If it makes you feel better, it's a camping event. So just remind yourself that it would involve dirt and communal showers.

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

I could totally see the brother thing with the Stroppy One. And, that badge is hard to resist purchase.

[lenlench4n.livejournal.com]

Possibly not the best place to link these to you, but I was rummaging around on etsy and found this stuff! So, I don't know, you might already know of them.

But oh, that bat wing necklace is pretty.
