I am obsessed with the TV show True Blood! If you want to know what I been doing for the pass week or so I've been glamoured into watching the whole seasons of 2 and 3. Those that are True Blood fans would get the glamour part :)
So it would only make sense to me to create a post about my love for Vampires, Goth, and the dark side. I can be a oxymoron sometimes in the way that I think, ugly can be beautiful, creepy can be cute, bad can be good... You get where I'm going.
The amazing thing about fashion is having fun mixing these elements with the opposite. Like creating your own Ying and Yang, but with clothes. Showing a little of your DARK SIDE can come off as myterious, intriguing, and sexy. We don't want to over do it or you may come off as a totally emo/gothic chick.

hey natassja!
ReplyDeletei'm a huge fan of true blood, so i think this post is great!
i'm more of a classic style girl, so i guess that if i had to add a little bit of goth to my outfits, it would have to be through jewellery...
btw, who's your favorite? eric or bill?
xxx,

@sol My favorite use to be Bill, but now that he has became King and Eric has lost his memory, Eric is my favorite Vamp. How about you?
