At last, INKED! Beware, beware, this is a bat attack my friend!

Hey babes!

I've been a very very naughty blogger, and have disappeared from the face of the earth. Truth to be told, too much is going on, on life right now. Mostly wonderful things, fortunately! I found somebody that is truly a "schatz" , whom I love and treasure very much, and we are building a beautiful relationship together. He has 7 brothers and sisters and they are all very close, so I also gained a bunch of new comrades with whom i've been hanging out loads. I´m moving to Austria for 6 months on next Wednesday. I´m amazed and overwhelmed with life at the moment, I feel like I need a brake to breath and be able to assimilate all of this. I guess I shall have time in Austria (although I kinda hope I don't!). I´m ever so tired, so let's move on to the point of the post, which is... MY FIRST TATTOO, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUS!

My bare shoulder, for the last time ever!

Halfway through, the outlines of my little babies!

During mah break, before the last touches were made!

Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah the final result. THEY ARE PERFECT, AND MINE, FOREVEEEER! My little baby bats! I can talk more about why I did them and what they mean to me in the future, i´m too tired right now.

Lastly, my babe's piece:

 

We lost our tattoo virginity together, so the process was altogether very special. By the way and because i know you're gonna read this, I love your face Sills!

NOW, MY BED!

GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The alternative Corner - 5 timeless tracks by female vocalists that are absolutely dreamy

Hey ghoulies,

I´m lounging on my friend Marco's couch, and the weekend has been great so far. Friday I went out with some friends to Noir, got massively drunk and had a blast. Yesterday, me and Marco went xmas light sightseeying in Lisbon (i shall post thepictures), had a long overdue coffee with my dearest patxi, had dinner in Portugalia and ended up going to the cinema to watch cloud atlas (i recommend it, it is a bit of a mindfuck, but it reflects about some important questions in life). Today, it is a lazy sunday, and we're just chillin, watching tv, listening to xmas songs, cooking and we're gonna put up the xmas tree later, yaysss!

Because I´m in a very musical mood, I decided to share with you 5 timeless tracks that I adore and never get tired of, sang by women. All of them are very special and close to my heart, for different reasons. I hope you like em!

Dead Can Dance - Frontier



This song is just haunting and mesmerizing, in a very good way. Lisa's vocals are entrancing, and whenever I listen to it I just embark in a mental voyage throughtout dreams and thoughts.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Face to Face

This song... I have no words. Siouxsie and the banshees are one of my fav bands ever, and this song is purely rawr, sensual and etheral.

X Mal Deutschland - Incubus Succubus II

One of my favourite dance tracks ever, while still being very entrancing.

Diva Destruction - "In Dreaming"

One of my favourite lovesongs, the lyrics are haunting,and I love her voice.

Skeletal Family - Promised Land 

Another one of my favourite dance tracks. It also has the best guitar ever!

BONUS JONAS TRACK

(Not sang by women, but it I feel it fits perfectly in this list, and it is one of the tunes ofmy life, so I have to add it to the list)

Cinema Strange - Greensward grey

No human words can describe this song. This is the stuff dreams and nightmares are made of.

 

Enjoy them my dear batlings, for they are absolutely beautiful <3

The Alternative Corner - Have a very batty christmas! Playlist

My dear dear monsters,

Here's my early xmas present for you all, my HAVE A VERY BATTY CHRISTMAS! music playlist, that I put together specially thinking about you all. I think it is perfect to put you on that magical xmas mood, for when you are just doing random chores around the house, cooking, putting up your xmas decorations, or if you just wanna feel xmasy! It contains everything an alt christmas playlist should have, alternative xmas tunes and covers of classics (like Faith and the Muse, Nightwish, Nox Arcana, The Cruxshadows, David Bowie, Alien Sex Fiend), some of yee old but very very good classics (like Spike Jones,  Dean Martin, Eartha Kitt,  The Pogues, Bing Crosby), movie soundtracks (Nightmare Before Christmas, Anastacia, Harry Potter), some of the cheesy classics obviously (Wham!), and even some Christmasy electronic, trance and dubstep tunes. There is something to please everybody, and I´m really glad with the way it turned out! I´m gonna blast it through my house and on my Mp3 player all December long, weeee! So without furter ado, ghouls and ghoulettes, witches and wizards, goblins and faery creatures, I give you...

  
Just click on Frankie, Wolfie and Dracula! 

It is still a work in progress, so If you'd like to suggest some tunes, comment down below and I´ll add them <3

I hope you like it, I´m listening to it right now!

The Alternative Corner - Vlogger spotlight feat Melon Lady

Hey Y'all!

So as mentioned before, I decided to start sharing with you some of the people on the interwebz that entertain me and make life more interesting. Vlogging is one of the things that I spend most of my time on, when I´m online. It's much more dynamic than reading a blog, since you can actually see and hear what the person is talking about and therefore connect with it much more. Plus, it's really open since you get a bit of everything, tutorials, daily life, hauls, reviews... I personally think it's a window to other countries (I just love when bloggers film their surroundings, the concerts they go to, places around their towns...). For example, right now tons of american vloggers are posting Halloween related stuff, tours of their decorated houses, of the stuff the shops are selling, of their costumes, etc. Loving all things strange and macabre (mvahaha) of course I´m toatz into halloween, I just love the feeling and mood (goth xmas, anyone?) and since we don't have much of that in Portugal, vlogs are wonderful opportunity to see what they get up to in America.

Anyhow, on to the topic of this post. The first youtube person I decided to share with you is Melon Lady. I don't even know how I came across her channel, but I think the beautiful lavender hair might have pulled me into its vortex. Her channel, slowly but steadily became one of my favourites on youtube.

She is just a very open and dynamic person, and the way she vlogs is so natural that you cannot avoid loving watching her vlogs. She posts about everything and nothing really, and her channel is a mix between beauty guru and daily vlogger. You can catch a vlog of her going to a concert or festival, a tutorial about how to dye your hair or a day in the life of, all spiced up with her beautiful pomeranian Jetson and her cute boyfriend Ben. Her style is also very unique, and I find it very inspirational.
Another thing I really like about her, it's the way she embraces her body. She is a curvy girl (I think her body is amazing) and she's not afraid to show it on youtube, although she always receives a fair share of criticism from morons who think they are the shit just because they can call people names behind the safety of their computers and anonymous user-names. I remember a video she put up showing of the bikinis she had bought, which had like a warning in the description: "Don't watch if you're bothered by curvy girls". Not only are we not bothered, we love watching your vids Melon! Definitely one of my favourite youtubers!  

Go on and subscribe to her, http://www.youtube.com/user/snakebitesparkles/videos?view=0
