Curious Professor Z, Sylvie and Ms. Misantropia have both done The Darkling Tag recently so definitely check those out and I tag Mari Mortem, Roses and Velum, Tales From A Geordie Goth and Wild Intuitive!
THE DARKLING TAG!
What is your favourite candle scent? Every Halloween season I stock up on the autumn candles. However, I do not have a proper sense of smell so I shop for them purely by colour!
Do you have a favourite book? Interview With The Vampire, Ive read it a few times now. Anne Rice is one of my favourite authors along with Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft,... You get the idea.
Are you a tea or coffee person? More of a coffee person, but I do enjoy a nice tea in the evening.
What is your favourite perfume/cologne? I really dont wear perfume.
Do you have a celebrity crush? Not really. At the moment, Tom Hiddleston is a favourite.
If you could change your name to a stereotypical 90s/2000s gothy name, what would it be? I think my current name, Mary Mourning, is pretty stereotypical 90s goth.Actually so is my business name, Autumn Moon!
What are your top three tips for surviving hot weather while black clad? I avoid the sun like the plague. I literally carry a parasol everywhere. Those Victorian ladies were pretty smart! Not only do parasols prevent you from sunburn but you feel a lot cooler under them.
What song always makes you happy (doesn’t have to be a goth band?) I have whole albums that make me happy actually. Like The Cure Disintegration, Stevie Nicks Belladonna, and Sisters of Mercy Floodland.
Are you active in the arts (eg. Play an instrument, paint, write, etc)? I sew and I sketch...
What is your number one non-gothy hobby? Well, I used to say Mountainbiking but I haven't been out much lately. So now I will say Jeeping! My hubby and I take the Jeep offroad a lot in the summer.
Thought Provokers:
If you could be a supernatural creature, what would it be and why? A Vampire obviously! Excellent wardrobe,
What horror monster-bases super power would you have? Vampires have pretty great superpowers! Mind control, turning into a bat, levitating, super strength, control animals...
Do you feel confident or comfortable interacting with other Goths or gothy people (online or irl)? Why or why not? Yes. I enjoy talking to other Goths both in person and online.
Is there something you wish there was more of in your subculture? More individuality and less people trying to squeeze themselves into tiny stereotypical boxes.
Care to share an embarrassing story related to your “darkliness”? Hmmm... being mistaken for Mary Poppins?
How are you at DIY? Awesome. I DIY a lot!.
Confessional (aka True or False):
I love watching cheesy romance films. False! I hate them. I'd rather watch Horror or Sci-Fi. Ofcourse there are romantic Horror films! Bram Stoker's Dracula or Return of the Living Dead 3 anyone?
I ALWAYS remember to wash off my makeup at night. False. Most days, not all.

ReplyDeleteI love Interview with the Vampire! Bram Stoker's Dracula is a great film! <3 The Hunger!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Vampires all around! <3
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary! I completely agree about people in the goth community squeezing themselves into boxes instead of just being authentic. I'm a pagan as well as a goth and once someone told me that if I was really goth, I would only work with "dark" deities. Uuuuh, okay?? I don't get people sometimes LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy! I think anyone trying to tell you how and what to practice is ridiculous! They should focus on there own path! right? Blessed Be
DeleteHigh five to using your 90's goth name =P
ReplyDeleteBeing mistaken for Mary Poppins? That sounds like a story! Heh
Thanks for the tag back, heheh.
We've quite a little vampire squad going around, don't we? HA!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I can't believe you don't have a proper sense of smell, I couldn't live without mine, it's very acute :) Is there a story to how you lost it?
