    Femme Falate, shot by Patrick Demarcheliar for Vogue Germany (August 2009). Warning: bondage themes and not safe for work.

    metal birthday cupcakes

    Ich bin fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt! I’m 25 years old today. It’s nice. I like it. I’m feeling it. Some people loathe their birthday, and I’ve never understood that.

    cannibal-corpse-long-sleeve

    Following on from my two previous fashion-by-subgenre articles: Power Metal Fashion and Black Metal Fashion, I give you … fashion advice for Death Metallers. Death Metal. Probably one of the most heavily-underrated musical genres of all time. Due no doubt to the gutteral, growling vocals, complex songs structures, multiple tempo changes, shaggy hairstyles, and album [...]
