11:36p Corsets and Whitby (what else would you expect from a Goth?) Tomorrow I have an important test. I can’t speak of it until it’s over because I don’t want to jinx it, but I will say that I am feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment (I’ve been at it for hours!) So this post is very much an excuse for a brief study break, though admittedly a post on Whitby is also long overdue too… Well, it was my 17th WGW, which is a lot less than many of my friends, but I like to think that it’s still quite hardcore ;) I really feel all those years though – mostly in my familiarity with the town and the people, but also in my laid-back attitude to it all. When I first started going I used to push to do as much as I could, but now I find myself to be very relaxed about everything. Yes, you heard that right - I have become old and boring ;) Yet despite a lack of rushing I nonetheless had one of the best WGWs I’ve ever had, and I absolutely attribute it to my ‘settled’ state. There were excellent bands, outfits and food/drink, but the highlight for me was getting drunk with some close friends up in the abbey in the small hours of the morning. It just goes to prove that it really doesn’t take a big dress or even good music to make a Whitby special – just the company of some truly wonderful people (and maybe a little brandy ;) At this point you would probably expect pictures of said Whitby shenanigans, but unfortunately I don’t have a working camera at the moment so in lieu I’m posting a few more images from my trip up to Yorkshire a few weeks ago. The photographer lives just a short drive away from the elf’s parents’ house, but I didn’t know this until I was already up – we started communicating quite randomly and somehow managed to arrange a shoot within a few hours. So it was all very sudden and, unusually for me, I didn’t have a specific theme or story to shoot. However, considering how close we were to each other it would have been a shame not to do something, so we came up with a quick plan. He very much wanted to get some beauty shots (which I’m sure everyone knows are close-ups of a model’s face), and while the idea always frightens me I agreed on condition that I could get some shots for some of the beautiful clothing that wyte_phantom has very kindly made for me. I’m posting a couple from both ‘his set’ and ‘mine’ because they make for an interesting combination, though of course I remain dubious about extreme close-ups… it’s just damn alarming having a camera that close to your face! Photography: John McIntire Location: Barnsley Both the black brocade corset with red lace applique, and the red and black rose-detail skirt, by the ever wonderful (and far too generous) wyte_phantom ( Roses and Lace )

9:41p Another Monday Well, another Monday done. A few lessons done, a couple lessons cancelled. A couple of pics from last Thursday's Goth Sluts' meet at the Dartmouth Arms in Tufnell Park. There are also some pics from the annual meet and dinner with the u.c.s.m people, but those are probably of little interest here. Finally, from a couple of weeks ago, the pics from the Faith and the Muse gig at Dingwalls; very good gig and I like some of the pics I managed to take, if I' allowed to say so myself. One sample of these: And last but not least: Happy Birthday, _alexandra_!!

9:54a Friday it was decided to stay in so to save energy for Saturdays Coven. Film choice of the night was 1974s The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires, although if you ask me, any Dracula film with Peter Cushing is not the same without Christoher Lee! Saturday wasn't the usual rush around, with Filmstock currently taking residence in The hat Factorys Basement 2 until 6pm. I watched 1987s Bad Taste to while away the morning. Come 6.45pm it was time for me to leave. lil_red_neck was performing roadie duties and was his usual annoyingly 30 minutes late, making the set-up that much more stressful. With five minutes to spare, I finally managed to complete the final touches and we were ready to open. Unfortunately, with such a rush, it took its toll on me and I was knackered for the first part of the night, making me feel very unsociable. Luckily the alcohol kicked in around 12am and my second DJ set of the night was way more enjoyable. Sunday we awoke around 11am and headed into town for fried breakfast. I tried to complete my usual round-up of the previous night but was beaten back by my hangover and ended up back in bed till 4pm. Take-away pizza was the reward for Saturdays endevour with a viewing of 1993s CB4. I really think that Whitby and the bedford gig is still tiring me out, so I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend in with friends.
