About

Are you having trouble buying for a gothically inclined friend? 

Or perhaps you do not want to wait for delivery after buying something from the interwebs because you need that present for metaller mate in your hands in the next couple of hours when you meet them for their birthday down the pubgudamnit?

Or perhaps you are going on a shopping trip into town and would like to look at things, things on the darker end of the taste spectrum while your friends and family investigate clothes in beige.   

Either way, this little blog is for you, searching out for gothic, metal, and darkly alternative items on the high street and pointing them out to you.  Not cos you are dim, but cos it’s nice to have life made a little easier.   

Also, it means I can window shop, covet nice things and yet remain within my current state of being skint as opposed to making myself actually poor. 

The idea came to me when my mum asked me, yet again, what I wanted for Christmas.  Knowing that she is unlikely to peruse the same shops or internet websites as I will, I went to see what was out there, and was pleasantly surprised to find bits and bobs scattered around the high street.   

It occurred to me that it is not only my mum who probably fears buying for her gothically / heavy metal inclined offspring; I bet there are a few.  If there is one, there is bound to be others.  Bagzinga: here is Goth on the High Street.  Also makes the nice acronym GOTHS, even if it is a boring title.
