Coffin Couches

2009-03-29T17:18:00.000-07:00

This is possibly the most wonderful thing I've ever come across. Couches that look like coffins. I must've died and gone to heaven!

Evangeline Ghastly

2009-03-21T15:15:00.000-07:00

"She's A Whole Other Story . . ."

This is one of the most beautiful dolls I've ever come across. She stands 19" tall, ball jointed, and is made of the finest pale luminescent resin. Evangeline comes dressed in a beautiful black lace gown featuring a black velvet eyelash jacket with chiffon laced trimmed sleeves over black spider web intricately embroidered lace, and a fully lined chiffon overskirt. Complete with black velvet pumps, black choker with beaded accents, matching lace umbrella, long black wig, and beautiful life-like eyes.
When you click on Evangeline's Attic, you'll find her story, her diary, and her MySpace page. I found the favorite things page rather cute and amusing. There are also desktop images to downlode.
So, if you're looking for a lovely gothic doll do give a friend or to keep for yourself, do take a look at Evangeline Ghastly. She's just perfect!

The Demon Ororon

2009-03-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

(A Review by Gloomy Sunday)

Gloomy knows how much you enjoy tragic love and dark fantasy. And let’s face it. Though well written and meticulously detailed, Twilight just doesn’t hit the spot. Vampires and werewolves have been done to death, so how about going back in time a little for that seemingly forgotten mixture of angels and demons? That ought to sate your craving . . .

Though it was first published in Japan in the year 1999, Hakase Mizuki’s The Demon Ororon is still a wonderfully original gothic favorite. With its lovely blend of humor, romance, tragedy, and bloody violence, this graphic novel is sure to please those who appreciate darkness. The art is rather unusual, but pleasing to the eye and the characters will keep you laughing and crying.

The story begins with the meet-cute pair of half-angel Chiaki and demon king Ororon promising to stay together forever, but things take a dark turn when Chiaki’s power starts to make itself known and Ororon’s enemies conspire to kill him.

If haven’t read this graphic novel, shame on you! It’s now available in one complete collection, so go and get yourself a copy right now!

Best Night of My Life

2009-02-22T17:42:00.000-08:00

Last night I went with a bunch of friends to see a rock show in New York City. There were 12 of us together and, surprisingly, no one got lost or left behind.
Escape the Fate headlined. They were absolutely incredible! I mean, so amazing that I'll never forget them, ever. They really made it worth the hour and a half wait to see them. My friends Patrick and AJ got their t-shirts signed by Escape the Fate's drummer!
Black Tide also performed, along with Atack Atack and William Control.
I'd never heard of Atack Atack until I saw their performance last night, but I have to say, they were really awsome. Their vocals kicked ass and, as anyone would expect from a recording screamo band, the musicians were amazing.
Black Tide really had the crowd going. They performed "Lite From Above" and did a Metallica cover song that absolutely everyone loved. My best friend Justin is now a big fan of thier band and, before last night, he didn't even like metal!
I love William Control to an almost insane extent and his performance was fantastic. Though was totally out of place with the rest of the bands, he had great energy and was so much fun to watch. I sang all the songs, and danced 'til it hurt. What really made the night for me was being able to take a picture with William Control and talk to him in person. It was so strange and unreal. Looking at his face was exactly like looking at the cover of his Hate Culture CD. His voice sounds exactly the way it does on the CD, too. It was like some kind sureal dream.
I really had an awsome time. We didn't get back home intil 2:30 in the morning, and we were going to stay in New York longer because Escape the Fate invited everyone to hang with them a bar for an after-party, but my idiot friends and I forgot the name of the bar and we couldn't find it, so we just went home, filled up on cold pizza, and past out.
In any case, it was the best night of my life so far, and I'd really like to see Escape the Fate again sometime soon, and maybe get a chance to talk to them and take pictures with them. They seemed like really fun, cool, down-to-earth guys. But band boys are always super fun to party with!
Well, that's it for now, minions. Good night to all of you. **kisses**

How to maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

2009-01-24T11:38:00.000-08:00

This is just a funny little email a got from my sister. Thought I'd share it because it made me laugh. Please enjoy!

How to maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

1. Sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. see if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice!

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso!

5. In the memo field of all your checks, write 'For Marijuana'.

6. Skip down the hall rather than walk and see how many looks you get.

7. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

8. Specify that your drive-through order is 'To Go'.

9. Sing along at the opera.

10. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you have a headache..

11. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream 'I won! I won!'

12. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling 'Run for your lives! They're loose!'

13. Tell your children over dinner, 'Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.'

And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity
14. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS!

Rage Sorrow Love Betrayal

2009-01-11T15:53:00.000-08:00

Ok, so here's what I've decided. That poetry book I've been working on isn't something that I'd like to send out to a publisher, so I've created a blog for the poems. If you're interested, check out Gloomy's Leir and leave comments.

This is what's new

2009-01-11T13:15:00.000-08:00

Hello, my minions. I'm a little out of it 'cause I went to a party last night. I've never danced so much in my life. But, in any case, I have a cool link for you. The site has some pretty awsome art to check out. You can buy prints and tee shirts, or sign up and sell some art of your own. The dark art section is really worth a look-see. So, check it out because the princess asked you to.
RedBubble
Let me know what you think!
Also I got a hair cut . . . it's way shorter than I'm used to, but I've been getting some pretty good comments about it.

But this is very irrelivent. Here's an update.
_ Still working on Nashide
_ My vampire fiction still doesn't have a tittle
_ Huntress is still on hold
_ My poetry book will most likely be used as fillers for this blog
_ I've got a headache that could bring down a 400 pound bear.

'Til next time, over and out. ^_~

A long over-due update

2009-01-05T15:51:00.000-08:00

Good evening my friends! It's The Gothic Princess again with links, news, and updates. First off, I'd like to take the time to inform everyone that I feel like shit today and will be passing out promptly after completing this post. Feel free to leave your messages with my moody and uncaring secretary (oops, I mean "personal assistant)and I will get to them when I am once again conscious.
Now for a writer's update . . .
Ok, so I havn't updated on my writing in a long time, but I asure you that this post will make up for that.
The Huntress is on hold (surprise, surprise) and that book of poetry I mention before is beginning to smell like month-old raccoon shit. I'm editing it because I just refuse to send hard working publishers shit through the mail. Anyway, I'll inform everyone once I think the poetry book is decent enough to send to a publisher.
In other news, my work on Nashide is going well. 37 chapters so far and many more to go. I'll keep ya posted.
Also, that nameless vampire fiction I mentioned a while ago now has a pretty solid story line. It will be separrated into parts and will probably be around 300-400 pages long. The main characters will be homosexual or bisexual (more surpeises) but I would like to tone down the romance and make it more violent and suspanceful. This story seems rather promising, but I'll let the readers decide if its crap or not.
I also have a link here for everyone to check out. It's a Tim Burton fan site that has everything you could ever want to know about Tim Burton and his work. If you're as crazed a fan as I am, I know you'll enjoy this page.
Nightmare King
Well, that's it for now.
Goodnight minions!

Where the hell are we . . .?

2009-01-02T14:29:00.000-08:00

Hi, everyone. Is it just me or did all the goths disappear when that damnedable emo trend reared its ugly head? It seems like just yesterday the streets and malls and schools were crowded with people in black. Now, those days are a thing of the past. For those of you who are still loyal to the gothic subculture, this rant is not directed at you. However, if you are loyal and have also noticed the tragic disappearance of gothic people, please feel free to read and nod your head in agreement.
It seems very rare these days that you'll actually see a goth on the streets. Perhaps they are nestled amung the many "emo kids" that are running rampant in the malls, or maybe the goths are hiding at home watching Addmams Family repeats on TV Land. Wherever they are, they need to step out of their basements and into the sun to let people know that goth isn't dead.
So what will it take to bring the goths out of hiding? Maybe another Tim Burton movie (I hope there will be one soon), or if they decide to have Halloween 12 days a year. (Let's keep hoping ^_~)
All humor aside, I really hope that gothic culture and dress wasn't just a teenage trend that will eventually die out completely. Goths around the world I emplore you to stand up tall in your highest platform boots, blast your William Control CDs as loud as you can (without getting kick out of you apartment) and let the world know that it's not safe yet. Goths are still alive and will be around for a good long time.
Stay dark my lovelies, and don't give in to popular culture just because "it's what the kids are into these days".

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T14:57:00.000-08:00

Hello, everyone. The Gothic Princess is back, and I've brought some new links with me this time. Here's a cool web page I found. It's got a few gothic oddities like umbrellas, pillows, and even wrapping paper. Just give it a look-see and let me know what you think.
Gothic Midnight
Also, I think you'll find some interesting things here. Links to many goth-related pages, music, comunities, and online stores. Check it out.
Dark Side of the Net
Well, that's it for now. Until next time, happy new year!

My, my . . .

2008-11-23T17:42:00.000-08:00

Ok, so it's been a long time since my last post. I'm not really sure where to start. My last post was before Halloween, so I guess I'll start there . . .
So, Halloween was fun. I wore a trench coat. Yay! The vampire fangs made it hard for me to talk at first, but I got used to them after some time. I didn't even want to take them out at the end of the day. It was so much fun to freek people out with them.
I went to NY last weekend with my siter. We saw a play together. White Christmas. It was much happier than what I'm used to but, after a few drinks, I had a good time. On Friday, I went to a movie with my mom and sis. We saw Twilight. I read the book and loved it. I liked the movie, too, but it was a little rushed. Besides that, some idiot teenagers were talking through the whole movie and I missed a buch a dialogue because of them. I was almost going to go over and kill them, but that would have caused me to miss even more of the movie . . . plus my mom was holding me down. But anyway, I do believe there is going to be a second movie, and when it's in theaters, I'll be there on opening night. ^_~

Right Before Betime

2008-10-28T19:19:00.000-07:00

Well, Halloween is in just a few days and I don't really have a costume. I want to be a vampire, so I plan to just wear my normal (gothic) clothes and put in my vampire teeth. I'm really excited about Halloween this year. After my guitar lesson, I'll probably do to my friend's party or go to the mall with my brother and sister and show off our costumes. ^_^
I'll be able to wear my costume to work, which will just be like me wearing my normal non-work clothes. It'll be kinda weird for everyone. (Yay!)
It snowed today. It was freezing cold and it's still only October! I guess this means we'll be having a rough winter this year. That's ok, though. I don't get out much anyway.

The First Cold Day

2008-10-02T15:25:00.000-07:00

Today was the first cold day of the automn season. It was so chilly my bones started hurting . . . But anyway, I wrote a spell today and not much else happened besides that.
Hmm . . . this was very boring and un-informative. ^_^"

Bye Bye

The PAW Act

2008-09-21T16:09:00.000-07:00

Rep. George Miller (CA) has introduced the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, legislation to close a federal loophole and curb Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region. But he needs your support to win passage of this wolf-saving measure.

That Time Again

2008-08-20T09:27:00.000-07:00

It's almost September, and that means my birthday will be here soon. This year I'm turning 21. I'm really excited to try a drink of beer. Everyone says it tastes awfull, but you know me. I have to try things for myself. I'm having a birthday dinner with my friends and family. It's going to be so much fun. I'm also getting a tatoo! So lots of good things are happening.
Yesterday I got a hair cut. it looks very asian. Lol. No pictures at the moment, but I'll put one up soon.
In other news, I'll be entering three writing contest in the next few months. I'm also starting my classes at the Gotham Writing School next month. So, Nashide is once agian being put on hold. Sorry everyone.
Anyway, until next time, take care everybody!

Not much the read anymore . . .

2008-07-27T17:27:00.000-07:00

I've noticed something very sad about the world of dark literature. There aren't many authors that write for this genre. It's upsetting because people need to read something other than cheesey romance novels and teen dramas. Some of us are looking for something a little more emotional, something that will make us think and ask questions. It's a shame that there a so few authors and poets who can supply us with that.
But, in any case, that brings me to the reason I decided to post today. I was searching for gothic poetry and I cam across this web page titled Raven's Rants
The poetry on this page isn't all sorrowful, but it is absolutely worth checking out. Give it a look see.

Warm Nights In Jersey

2008-07-26T18:35:00.000-07:00

Today there were no thunder storms, which is a big difference from just a few days ago. No lightening or strong winds. There wasn't even any rain today! Clear skies and bright sun shine . . . but I guess today wasn't all bad. I cheered myself up by buying a few new CDs and watching the Addams Family Movie. I listened to HIM for an hour or two and took a nap in my clothes, and it was like all that sunshine never even happened. ^_^
In any case, it's another warm night and I've got my window open to let in the night air. I can't see the moon tonight because, all of the sudden, the sky is filled with clouds. **sigh** I just can't win.
Tomorrow is another Sunday at church with my family. I'll survive it as long as there are a few clouds in the sky and no one tries to engage me in small talk. **shiver**
But, without further jibber jabber, here's a picture of a sexy man!

On to part two!

2008-07-09T16:50:00.000-07:00

Good evening, friends. And what a lovely evening it is! The moon is hanging high, the bats are chirping, and the wind has begun its eery howle. It's a beautiful night!
I'm excited. Can you tell? Care to know why? No? I'll tell you any way!
I've been working really hard on Nashide. I've writin chapter after chapter without rest, all to satisfy myself and my loyal readers. I've worked my fingers to the bone and I've made some real progress.
I've writen my way to Nashide semester two! You know what that means for me? It means that I'll final get to write some hot and jucy romance sceens. Yay for me!
In any case, I'm that much closer to completing Nashide. I hope everyone is as excited as I am! I'll try to keep everyone posted!
See you all next time, my lovelies!

Been a while . . .

2008-06-28T10:54:00.000-07:00

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. But I have a very good reason for not posting. Daddy was in the hospital for a while and has just recently come home. Naturally, instead of coming home to work, I've been spending my free time there with him. But now that he's home I'll be getting back to work on Nashide. It won't be long now until it's finally complete.

Working hard this summer!

2008-06-03T15:11:00.000-07:00

Hello, my beautiful minions. How's everyone doing on this fine day in hell? Terrible, you say? Well, that's fantastic!
Your dark ruller happens to be in a very good mood today. Want to know why? No? Well, I'll tell you anyway!
I'm in such a good mood because the progress I'm making with Nashide is uncanny! I've never been so inspired to write gay romance in my life! The inspiration actually came after changing one my main character's looks. I got a better feel for his personality after that, and the words just came flowing out of the tips of my fingers.
Now, this doesn't mean that Nashide will be on the shelves any sooner. (Don't look at me like that!) I still have much work to do. But the story is developing quite nicely, and the romance, itself, is rather steamy -- I mean "nice" -- as well. You won't be disapointed!
Well, until next time, my minions . . .
Stay dark
And try to keep cool.

Stuff Gets Done

2008-05-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

Ok, well, with Rage Sorrow Love Betrayal final finished (minus editing, of course) I can get back to work on Nashide. Not just saying that. I'm actually working on it. 30 chapters so far, many more to go. Like I've said, though, there's no telling when this stuff will get done. Rage Sorrow Love Betrayal should be published within maybe three months. I'll keep everybody posted on its progress.
Other than that, everything is going swimingly. Nothinging to coplain about, except that it's supor hot out and I'm hungry. But, I'm babbling . . . Guess I'd better go before I start spilling information that no one needs to know.
Until next time, my lovelies, stay dark.

Poetry Book Update

2008-05-14T14:57:00.000-07:00

Ok, so that poetry collection I promised you . . . It's done!

Well, maybe not done. It's in the editing process right now. So after that, it'll be done. The book itself is called Rage Sorrow Love Betrayal. It'll be published soon, so keep an eye out for it!

That's all until further notice. Until then . . .

Stay dark, my lovelies!

Good News

2008-05-06T17:00:00.000-07:00

Ok, so, aside from trying to figure out the fuckin' links function on this blog, I've actually been working. Yeah, that's right. I kept my promise. I'm not just flappin' my lips when I make promises. When I say I'm gonna do somthing, that means there's an 86% chance that I'm actually gonna do it. I guess this time the odds just worked in everyones favore.

So, I should have a complete book of poetry out soon. I suspect it will be about 80-100 pages and I'm about half way finished with it. I'll keep you posted on that as best I can without getting distracted . . .

In other news, Nashide and The Huntress are being put on hold until further notice. Sorry, but you'll all just have to wait a bit longer for those novels. However they will be put out there . . . eventually.

Until next time, stay dark! And don't be shy about leaving me comments. I'd love to get a little feed back.

Links not working!

2008-05-06T16:58:00.001-07:00

WTF?? I can't get these fuckin' links to show up. I don't know what the problem is. Let me just try this . . .

http://www.blackrose.co.uk/

http://fetishfactory.com/

Copy and paste. How's that?

Kool Kool Kool

2008-05-04T18:30:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I was on the net and came across this awsome site. Fetish Factory. This site has really great costum goth and fetish clothing. It also host goth events and club nights, even a forum and mailing list. You should really check it out. Here's the link.

There is another cool site I came across in my never ending search for unique gothic fashion. This one is called Black Rose and has some really nice skirts and dresses. Give it a look-see.

Black Rose prices everything in €'s, but the difference is only a few dollars. I love the tutus and pettycoats. So cute!

Shame on me!

2008-05-04T11:43:00.000-07:00

So, I haven't been working much on my writing. I don't even have the excuse that I'm too busy, because all I've been doing lately is hanging out at the mall with Justin and surffing the web. I have time to write, but I'm kind of dealing with a mental block right now.

Nashide still isn't finished. Neither is The Huntress. I'm also working on a poety collaction that's in serious need of editing right now. There's really no telling what will be finished first. The way I'm going, nothing will get done until the end of the year. I really have to get my shit together if I want to publish something this summer.

There are a bunch of new books that I want to get working on, too. I have a rather vague idea for a series of vampire novels and a high school fiction that I've already put together a summary for. Both stories have a pretty solid character list already, which I'm proud of myself for, but the vampire series is lacking basic structure. After a bit more research and reconstruction, I feel like it could be a real winner, though. It also needs a name, which I'm open to ideas for.

So, here's the plan. I'm re-devoting my time to writing my novels. Since Nashide is at a stand still, and I have a complete outline for The Huntress, I'll get back to work on The Huntress starting tonight. If I don't keep my word . . . Shame on me.

Well, I have I really bad head ache right now, and I'm really sleepy, so I'm gonna lie down for a little while.

Until next time, stay dark!

Delightfully Strange

2008-05-01T15:00:00.000-07:00

Today I just wanted to post some lyrics. It's a Bjork song. I love her because she is just so delightfully strange. This song is one of my favorites. It's called Hyper-ballad. For a while I didn't even know what it was about, but after listening to it several times and studying the lyrics, I decided that the song is about suicide and an attempt to be happy only in death.

Hyper-ballad

We live on a mountain

Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way to start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's real early morning
No-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you Safe up ( here with you ) ...
