Dia De Los Muertos 11:11 PM

And we rose from the grave, with saturated glow and hollowed countenance from eternal rest.  Rest we do not on this day, for it is the only day that souls take substantial form -- clothed with jubilance and freedom from the tangible being.  The only being to be is not being.  The only "being" actually being half(mostly)-imagined, in our own minds and the minds of others.  With the colors that dance and vibrate behind closed eyes finally freed to roam our waking existence, we walk on in a parade of not "being" but "been."

All photos of Amber were taken by Katelyn, and all photos of Katelyn were taken by Amber.

Styling was a collaborative effort between Katelyn and Amber.

I am relaying a message to you from the nether regions in the gray matter of YOUR BRAIN 8:48 PM

The message is: I suggest you follow this blog. I suggest you tell all of your friends to follow this blog. Not only because our hearts are full of eternal sadness and we want lots of love from YOU (you being the internet at large), but also because we say..."OR ELSE." And you don't want to find out what THAT means... because rumor has it that we can burn a whole in your forehead with the fiery stares from our respective third eyes.

These are the edits from Katelyn.
From the softest corner in my little black heart, I present these images of your two Fairy Gothmothers, the only Fairy Gothmothers you may ever know (and be able to call your own).

All of Amber + Katelyn's accessories/clothing are vintage. Amber is wearing a bone necklace that Katelyn made from the animal bones she collects while she wanders the forest in darkness, alone.

THESE ARE YOUR GOTHMOTHERS... 12:36 PM
