Repo! The Genetic Clusterfuck

I just viewed the film 'Repo! The Genetic...' I can't bring myself to refer to it as an opera, even though it says it is one. I'm certain, at least fairly certain, that with the cult following the film amassed already it will become 'Rocky Horror' to future generations, to whom Rocky will be as Cher is to Madonna.

get my drift?

I like the graphic novel aesthetic, when used by Sin City. I like the sleek dark aesthetic when used by Dark City, I like the horror and gore of Planet Terror. I like musicals along the lines of Sweeney Todd, where (forgive me all true Sweeney Todd theater devotees) the actors can at least sing.

Sarah Brightman can sing. Paris Hilton can even sing. And that sexy graverobber (Terrance Zdunich) who seems like a frontman for a goth band can sing. But everyone else made me cringe more than once. The costumes were pretty sweet, though.

Fashion is Passion

I've got couture floating through the old cranium..

Some delights from Clothing Drop:
I'm using the image of the back of this black skirt, 'cause it highlights what i love about the skirt.... it's made using suspenders and faux-corset lacing.

My favorite is by Baby Phat:

Speaking of hearts

I love it.

Who couldn't love a little Haute Macabre? I must confess, I borrowed several of these links from it. In my defense, Illuminating my specific interests. And... dare I say it? Could I help it? They're so Hawt. (even I cringe)

Non-Haute-Klepted is Commander Salamander!

Apparently, Diesel has decided to go an Utterly weird and dark route. And I like it! Check out the video about 'hair', it's.... uh, hilarious!

Dear Dita, Representing the 1940s so beautifully.
I love these styles.

Obsessive American searching for the perfect look, to be continued.
