- Black Underbust Corset. Cyber in Glasgow does properly fitted ones (and charges over a hundred quid for the privilege), but I probably shouldn't pass up the opportunity to get a properly fitted underbust, especially if it's one I would plan on wearing lots.
- Camera tripod.
- Stompy boots. I love mine. But a goth can never have too many.
- Gramophone.
- A gothic club night in Dundee. It's lonely being a goth in Dundee - there's very little to draw us in our tiny numbers together, and most of the music nights here are metal orientated. Ah well.
- Juke box.
- Deathhawk. Or any other, suitably inappropriate-for-medical-school hairstyle.
- My own flat.
- Candlestick telephone. (never mind that the only people who would call me are cold callers.)
- Nail varnish that actually stays on longer than a day. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK.
I totally think these are achievable goals for my Christmas haul. How about you, readers - anything ridiculous or unlikely you would love for Christmas? Lemme know in the comments!

Oh god, I would love for a new car to magically turn up or to be suddenly offered a low rent house (like big house!) but that is incredibly improbably. I think I agree on a few of yours though. A gramophone and that nail varnish sound great!
ReplyDeleteI really want a flat! I'm worrying because it's coming up to the time of the academic year where everyone is looking for flats to rent and I don't have anything planned. A place of my own would be wonderful!
DeleteI don't even need a gramophone, as I have a wonderful sound system with a valve amp and excellent speakers. But if we're talking about silly wants...
Start your own club night :P
ReplyDeleteAh, I would love to (and have considered it), but I have neither the club promoting/running experience nor a large enough goth base in Dundee for it to be feasible. :(
DeleteNetwork? I'm sure with a group of other people you could organise something. And maybe market it as a punk, post-punk and goth music night or something to draw a larger crowd.
DeletePunk has a VERY chequered history in Dundee, I hate to say - there used to be a scene long before I came, and some regular club events, but the scene wasn't constant enough for it to be maintained.
DeleteWe're not really big enough a city for alternative music, as even the previously popular metal nights are struggling right now with diminishing crowds and nightclub owners becoming more and more strict in their regulating - the goth scene is far too small and fragmented for it to work. As a result, my Dundee goth club remains on the back burner.
oooohh I want a tripod!
ReplyDeleteThey're far too useful for photos!
