Have I mentioned how much I love the site Haute Macabre?
From the lavish editorial finds in their impeccably-curated archive of Tear Sheets, to the highly covetable objets-de-art many an absinthe-hued eye would ogle with envy — in the darkest-of-dandy / Domestigoth‘s high-end digs, without doubt.
This virtual locale of the monochromatic cognoscenti also posts invaluable blogature, with topics ranging from How To Wear A Headband And Not Look Dumb to DIY projects for dark-siders interested in harnessing creativity to learn How To Make [ One's ] Own Latex Gear, or even rock a wicked sicked take on Christian Louboutin for Rodarte’s Spiky Heels With Studs.
Short of the long [ of tooth ]?
This site is bloody genius.
The following archived cough! STOLEN cough! editorial post was written by sultry wordsmith Samantha, both Haute Macabre’s co-founder and a veteran Suicide Girl, who shares her personal exploits at Five Twenty Three [dot] com
But enough of my incessant rambling — now it’s
“…Over To You, Sam!”

Seeing as how I have spent my entire weekend glued to my computer working while listening to the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books on audio, I feel it totally appropriate to post this vampire editorial sent to us by Clint Catalyst . Since Nixon posted his spoken word video a few weeks back, he and I have bonded over our mutual love of True Blood, so in Fangtasia Fashion, here’s a first look at his recent shoot by Hoda Amel Abdalla.
Clint is shown wearing pieces from Jared Gold‘s Caspian Collection runway show. Each item is a one-off, and was not duplicated for public distribution.
Felt Top Hat with Couture Grosgrain Trim † Vintage Victorian Mourning Suit circa late 1800s
White Oxford from Ross Dress for Less † After Six Tuxedo Neckpiece
John Fluevog Wingtip Ankle Boots
Jared Gold Couture Black Phoenix Cape † Jard Gold Couture Polygamist Werewolf Armrills
Jared Gold Couture Dark Tundra Infantry Cap † Vivienne Westwood Shirt
Kill City Stretch Denim Jeans † Romanian Militia Motorcycle Boots
Jared Gold Couture Blood Bay Foundry Borcade Evening Coat † Marrow Satin Cravat
Tarina Tarantino Necklace † White H&M Button Up Shirt
Vivienne Westwood Tie † Ksubi 5-pocket Peg Leg Pants
Vintage Comme des Garçons shoes
Jared Gold Couture Black Greasy Colonial Jacket † Jared Gold Salem Witch Stetson Hat
Ksubi Black “Dee Dee” Straight Leg Stretch Denim † Irregular Choice Suede Boots
All pieces on Ericka, Clint’s willing victim, were her own.

The second is the best! Great hat. The third is very interesting, though…simultaneously the bull and the matador?
