Isn't that Dead Can Dance video ridiculously lush?

I had never seen it before! It was beautiful.

I expect there might be some squeeage when you get to the Adam Ant videos.

Well, yes. But not as much squeeage as the Bauhaus video for "Ziggy Stardust" caused, because while I adore Fop!Adam, Peter Murphy in a cage. IJS.

Goths go mainstream. Ish.

Awww! So cute! I haven't seen that ad, but I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I thought everybody went to find some dark chocolate (anyway, that's what I did).

It's not a bad plan, I must admit.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm still catching up over in Bitches.

So I braved the 20-something degree weather with the giant gusts of wind and came back with the wrong prescription. I mean, it was a prescription for something I take but not only could I swear that I had handed over the correct thing (for nasal spray) but I no longer have the scrip in my purse.

So I called in for another but felt so lousy after my sojourn in the cold that I haven't picked it up yet. I spent the afternoon on the couch huddled under my warmest blankie feeling like crap. To think that yesterday I thought this cold was going bye-bye.

I think you're going to like the Damned videos with Dave Vanian in his long haired, pirate shirt mode. It rates highly for Pretty and Over the Top Gothness and Sexy.

Also, I think you may be underrating Adam. He moves tremendously well. He's a sexy beast and has a sense of humor too. Plus the women are often in elaborate period costume.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all !

It's rainy and cold here. Bleah.(though I suppose it's more normal weather for this time of year than we've been having. I still don't like it.)

Yeah, I did stop sewing to stare fixedly at the screen for the whole of "Shadow of Love".

o, I think you may be underrating Adam.

Nuh-uh! It's just that I've seen "Prince Charming" (and love it to bits) a fair number of times, whereas I've seen the "Ziggy Stardust" video exactly once before last night. So there was the novelty factor, in addition to Peter Murphy in a cage.

Well, you'll encounter it one more time before the tape is over.

How's this possible? Don't they show it in goth clubs in a never ending loop?

I remember when you would see boys that looked like that at the clubs. Where did they all go, dammit?

Stand and Deliver Adam is very nice also.
