I've gotten some great things e-mailed to me by friends lately . . .

For example, Gothic Martha Stewart. Some folks at alt.gothic.fashion realized that Goths actually have certain elements of their aesthetic in common with Martha Stewart, and that with just a few color substitutions, many of her decorating techniques and "Good Things" could be easily adapted to fit a Goth's home.

First you have to decide what kind of Goth you are. (I've excerpted some category descriptions here because the GothCode website seems to be down.) Then you determine a decorating motif suitable for your particular brand of Gothdom. Complete instructions are outlined for decorating your Goth home within your given budget. Step-by-step directions are also given for particular projects . . . my favorite being the Goth Angel, suitable for perching on top of the Goth Christmas Tree.

If I were a Goth, I think I'd be a TrashyGraveyardGoth. And I'd decorate in a Cemetery Motif. Which Goth would you be?

I swear, my friend MsR is practically writing this blog for me. You may remember her . . . she's the one who told me about the Russian erotic knitting website which made my old website the #1 Google search result for "erotic knitting." (Well, OK, that's a lie. Chris is the #1 result for "erotic knitting." But she credits me for the link.)

Recently, MsR also sent me this link to a gay knitting blogger's demo photo of a pastel knit penis warmer. (Note my restraint in not commenting on the size of the demo.)

She was also the one who found Gothic Martha Stewart for me.

And now . . . an incredible duo of fabulous links . . .

First, this article on anus bleaching (reportedly the new craze of the Rich & Famous . . . and Lara Flynn Boyle).

And this coincidentally related picture:

Thanks MsR!!! You make my days bright!

Oh, and as a bonus, here's a (non-MsR) link to cheesy - but funny - computer joke graphics.
