Guten Tag!

I wore this outfit to the old-timey theatre my husband discovered just around the corner from our house last weekend, and I liked the combo so much I wore it to German class this week, too.

I am wearing:

• red dress from everyone’s favorite alternative NZ shop, Smoove – a gift from the gorgeous Elizabeth
• black sparkly belt from a ValleyGirl skirt. I would much prefer a studded belt here, but I didn’t have one that sits up this high. I intend to remedy this forthwith. At least this one is black.
• Red and black striped skull-and-crossbones socks, from … um, I’ve totally forgotten. I’ve had them for YEARS. They have no heels but I can’t bear to part with them.
• black short-sleeve shirt, Salvation Army second-hand shop.
• Black workboots. My usual.
• Blue (I think) stone necklace from Indigo – a hippy shop with particularly wicked jewellery – in Hawke’s Bay. Mum brought me this necklace for my seventh form ball.
• Red velvet bag with jesters bells, a present from CDH, from the medieval market in Hamburg.

I am listening to Arch Enemy as I type, Doomsday Machine. Fuuuuuuk, it’s a good album. That perfect mix of death and melody. I love it.

you can "kinda" see my necklace here. I have to get better at taking these bloody photos

My parentals are coming to visit this weekend, yay! I have a few ideas for things we can do, and I can’t wait to show them our house and my studio and artwork, and maybe go to the old timey theatre and see Astral Forge play.

I’ve written my two article posts for next week, and they are ho-ho-larious, if I do say so myself. Thank you for reading Steff Metal, because without you, I would feel pretty silly writing all this stuff.

Horns up to you, my friends \m/ Tschuss!
