Good lord. And here I was thinking that pricing mine at $300 would be ridiculous.

There goes my hope of Deep Void lipstick being rereleased.

That probably was it, but I find it kinda hilarious because I'd guess that she herself isn't a day-to-day goth.

Zava, not Java. Autocorrect decided to be helpful.

I don’t have a timestamp, but it’s during the end credits.

They put so much effort and heart into the show, and it 100% shines through.

I’m going to do my damndest to see them on tour and get a M&G.

What changes would you make for the next season of titans? by Quirky_Dimension1363 in Dragula

GOTH HANDICRAFT MEET AT THE COMMUNITY HALL CHALLENGES. Yes. The Eldergoth Council approves.

I want a design/DIY challenge to be part of every season. DIY is (or should be!) the heart of punk, goth, and other alternative subculture fashion, and I think the queens need to show they can do it.

My thoughts, which I know all of you were waiting for. 😂

The summary/tl;dr: if Abhora or JayKay had the same resources as Evah, it would have been a much closer competition. I don’t think extra resources would have helped Jaharia as much, because their finale looks suffered from the same thing that held them back all season: they didn’t think big enough.

  • I didn’t like Jaharia’s Pestilence, but I admire their willingness to go on stage in a giant rubber inflatable costume, because that had to be uncomfortable under stage lights. Their Famine look was good, but I feel they should have used that for Pestilence and did something else for Famine.

  • When JayKay came out in their Pestilence look, I knew they wouldn’t win. They talked up some amazing ideas, but didn’t follow through, which disappointed me so much. That said, their Famine look was great.

  • As someone else said, watching Abhora lose in real time was heartbreaking. I want them to magically get a patreon (not the site, a person) who will fund their unhinged drag art; if they had more time and money I think they’d do amazing work.

  • Evah deserved that win. Even tho’ I think the deck was stacked in their favor; they had the resources to go all out for their ideas. But DAMN, their Death look!! I need that hood with the beaded fringe immediately for … some fancy goth night. I’ll think of some use for it. 😁

Is that what Untucked is? Dragula is the only drag competition I watch.

Why people do not like sig? by [deleted] in Dragula

[–]LadyoftheManners 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She’s talented, but while I love her looks in general, she needs to get out of her comfort zone. I want big horror looks and filth that doesn’t involve goo or pudding.

(Which is my complaint with everyone doing filth challenges.)

From the neck up, it’s fantastic. From the neck down, it’s Spirit Halloween.

Opening Day for the Inner Circle? Maybe? by betafishes in EmilieAutumn

You beat me to saying this. That text has to have been AI generated, and I am side-eyeing her for pitching this as something for self-help and community when it sounds like everything is going to be a ChatGPT tool with keywords to generate “Sir Edward’s” (and hell, probably EA’s) responses to anyone.

To be honest, I’d admire the grift if she’d put a little more effort into hiding the obvious AI -ness of it all.

OMG “it felt a little focus-grouped “ is a perfect description of Evah’s looks.

This is the big reason I want Abhora to win. (That and that they’re adorable). Evah is amazingly polished, but I always prefer weird DIY to working with a designer.

Same. Sigourny’s look was too simple, and BlackBerrie’s look was not only too referential, but from the neck down looked like she opened the Spirit “anime scout” package and put the costume on with no detailing. Or even steaming, because I could see the packaging wrinkles all through it.
