Something that really offends the Infernal Hordes is this thing about the cute gothic girl - who doesn't know if she wants to be a model or a vampire, she wears lace and leather because she's sexy (romrom...), sometimes she's Emo (whatever 'that shit is...), misunderstood but also doesn't want to offend anyone. Well, here is a tribute from the Hidden Circle, to the Women who inspired the idea of the Gothic Beast, they were not tame. A very incomplete selections and with glaring flaws but the images were fine. From left to right, top to bottom (I don't even know why I say this, everyone knows how to read, damn it!).

NICO (The Velvet Underground; Nico)

PATTI SMITH

SIOUSXSIE SIOUX (Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Creatures)

POISON IVY (The Cramps)

COSEY FANNI TUTTI (Throbbing Gristle)

JENIFFER MIRO (The Nuns)

TOYAH WILLCOX (Toyah)

SUSIE BICK - ok, she's not a singer, but she is Nick Cave's wife and there is no photo that better represents the (there it is) beautiful goth woman than the cover of Phantasmagoria by The Damned

MRS. FIEND (Chrissie Wade - we must never forget that the sonic insanity of Alien sex Fiend owes a lot to Nik Wade's voice, but that all the hallucinogenic electronics that maintained the band's sound were courtesy of Mrs Wade)

PATRICIA MORRISON (Bags; The Gun Club; The Sisters of Mercy; The Sisterhood; The Damned)

BRIX SMITH (The Fall)

DIAMANDA GALÁS

MAITRI (Christian Death, Lover of Sin) - Many people may disagree, but Christian Death were never as consistent as after Maitri's entry (in 1992). The band was, perhaps, more metal but it was a new breath of fresh air and Val Kandor found a musical soulmate in Maitri.

- line below, intermediate-

JARBOE (Jarboe; Swans; Skin)

EVA O (Christian Death; Eva O)

MYLÈNE FARMER - a pop singer, this is a strange entry, but anyone who is more familiar with French pop/rock will understand what she is doing here (besides being half-naked, of course)

LYDIA LUNCH - (Teenage Jesus & The Jerks; Lydia Lunch - very briefly...)

DINAH CANCER - (45 Grave)

CHELSEA WOLFE - A girl!!! Old enough to be the daughter (or granddaughter) of the others represented. But, for her music and attitude, the place is more than deserved - she is not a starlet like Amy Lee, from Evanescence; nor a symphonic heavy metal diva. It has the same level of hardness as the others represented.

GITANE DEMONE - (Christian Death - and we know that the band is represented about three times, but even though these devils have attracted an incredible number of diabolical divas to their festivities, it is a complaint to present in one of the wings of the Second Circle - it has nothing to do with the rocker department that poor Dante still couldn't foresee.​

I get so frustrated by "yeah make vampires scary again" stuff every time a vampire movie has a "monster" vampire (Nosferatu, Voyage of the Demeter, etc). It reeks of an attitude that thinks all horror is about something being ugly and horrifying on the outside. If you can't see the horror in Interview With the Vampire, or a Jean Rollin film, or The Hunger, or Carmilla, or the vampire sections of Baldur's Gate because they are attractive that is absolutely an issue on your end. There is such a rich well of themes to dig into with horror and vampires, especially where sex and romance are concerned, but people are so desperate to separate romance and horror. The despair of being frozen as a child even while your mind matures, the loneliness of an eternity alone, the terror of eternal hunger that can't be sated, the awful seduction by something beautiful but monstrous. Trying to turn vampires into just any other monster doesn't make them more horrifying, its just a more kind of overt horror that can only be done so many times and is often covered better by other monsters.

Beautiful Shaiyeh.

100% my favorite piercing so far!💉🩸 I’ve wanted my centered eyebrows pierced for sooo long and I’m so happy I finally did it! Definitely a huge confidence booster, I really love them🥹🖤 Also, it’s the easiest piercing I’ve gotten. They didn’t hurt at all and the healing is going very quickly!🥰
