Merry Christmas!

Dear Readers,

Remember, no (wo)man is a failure who has friends.
Thanks for the wings!

Love,

"One for You, Me - and Santa" Ornament
by Jasmine Becket-Griffith ♥


I'd love to hang that ornament on a tree,
but I don't have one this year, sadly.
So, this virtual tree will have to do.
All it needs are gifts under it!

A Creepmas Carol

First, here's the story narrated by the Master of Macabre:

Now I present my Creepmas ghosts:

The Ghost of Creepmas Past:

Casper in his first Christmas episode,

which you can watch here!

The Ghost of Creepmas Present:

Spectra Vondergeist Monster High Doll 

(She's a Creepmas present to myself. >:)

The Ghost Zombie of Creepmas Future:

"Bah, humbraaaains!"

And the winner of the Creepmas Contest is...

Jeremy/iZombie!

Here's his spooktacular submission,

the dead sexy Corpse Bride, Emily:

I think she would look lovely on skin!

Congrats, Jeremy! And thanks for entering!
Check out his other awesome artwork here!

And while I'm on the subject,
check out my Corpse Bride snow globe:

I ♥ the zombie gentlemen!

Creepmas Continues!

Since I wasn't able to post everything I had planned,
I'll be celebrating Creepmas here till Christmas!

I've also extended the deadline for the Creepmas Contest to Sunday.
So, get your entries in to win these Sweet Monstrosities:

Jason (with detachable Santa hat) Scare Bow
and Axmas Earrings
(Both handmade with love by me)

[Sorry the prizes are on the girly side, guys.
You'll also get the Goth Coloring Book though!]


Anyway, since the Witches Yuletide Ball was the other day,
I thought I'd share this fitting episode of Gumby:

And a greeting from my favorite fictitious witch,
Samantha from Bewitched ♥

Krampus puts the Creep in Creepmas!

Here's ways to celebrate Krampus Day anyday:

1. Construct your own paper Krampus figure,

complete with accessories and bad child!

Or if you're not into Do It Yourself,

you can buy a paper puppet Krampus!

2. Watch the Krampus in The Venture Bros. Christmas special:

(His hilarious scene starts at the 8 minute mark)

3. Bake and devour Krampus cookies

4. Wash them down with a bottle of Krampus beer

Bonus: Check out the awesome Krampus artwork here!

And this also awesome, but sadly faux comic cover:

Creepmas Contest: Deck Your Skin to Win!

Want to win a Goth coloring book 

and some wearable monstrosities?

Here's all you have to do:

Draw a Creepmas Tattoo

[Bonus points if it's on you]

Then send a pic of it to blacklacewings85@aol.com

Deadline: December 18th

This contest was inspired by Comforting Skin,

an upcoming film about a girl with a living tat!

Oh My Goth! I'm Late for a Very Important Date!

Missed me? Missed me?

Now you have to kiss me,

under the zombie mistletoe!

This photo is old, but I had to post it cause it's so Gawth!

The 13 Days of Creepmas fun have begun,

and since I missed yesterday, here's day 2 and 1!

But first,

I want to thank The Haunted Rose for bestowing this beautiful award upon me!

Rules for passing the award along:

1. Thank the person who awarded you

2. Pass it to 3 Gothic blogs you adore

And the award goes to:

Corpse Cafe

Daph's Dark Little Corner

Little Gothic Horrors

[It was perfect timing receiving the award,

since the Sophie Lancaster Foundation just published a book of poetry.

Which you can purchase here.

The poems are from a writing competition and are all about being different.

 I would've entered if I had known about it. Since, like Rose, I write poetry.

Some of which you can read here.

And if you aren't familiar with Sophie's story, you should watch this video.

Make sure you have tissues handy though.]

Now I'll leave you with a fitting Creepmas carol by Within Temptation ♥



Stay tuned for a Gothical giveaway soon!
