LAST CHANCE TO ENTER GIVEAWAY CONTEST! GOTH CLOTHING AND MAKEUP PRIZES.

Goth plus size clothing, hand made Gothic mourning dresses and accessories on etsy, Gloomth online store.

My book manuscripts have been officially accepted by my publishers… which means they’ll be on the way to the printers soon! You’ll be able to get a copy of my Theme Restaurants book in July and my kawaii cookbook in November. (Don’t forget to check my Cute Yummy Time blog.)

What is La Carmina up to until then? Well, I’ll be making an announcement on Monday… the biggest one yet!

Butcher shop meat package, twine and brown paper over bloody beef or pork.

I’ll also announce the winners of this week’s contest; this is your last chance to enter! Above, you can see the gorgeous Gothic clothing that you win courtesy of Gloomth. I love the attention that designer Taeden Hall puts into her lookbook photos and packaging. Every parcel is wrapped in what looks like blood-stained brown paper and twine – a dripping delivery from the butcher store.

Goth girl in dress and striped tights, Gothic Lolita crown. Emo alternative punk fashion, clothing, shopping online. Custom handmade indie style from Gloomth.

† WIN ONE OF 12 PRIZES… hundreds of dollars worth!
From Gloomth:
– 1 first prize: a $75 gift certificate.
– 2 second prizes: $25 gift certificates. These can be used on gloomth.com; valid once, one per person, and not applicable to shipping.
From Aromaleigh:
– 1 first prize: a complete set of the Gothic Lolita Eyeshadows.
– 3 second prizes: each winner receives a Lolita Sweetheart gift set.
– 5 third prizes: each winner picks 3 Gothic Lolita eyeshadows.

† HOW TO WIN
Each person can enter up to three times. You receive…
– 1 entry if you embed my new video in a blog post or forum, or link to it via Facebook, Twitter, Stumble or any other social network.
1 point if you promote the contest in a blog post or forum, or link to it via Facebook, Twitter, Stumble or any other social network. (You can promote it at the same time as the video.)
– 1 point if you comment here and tell me your favorite Gloomth/Aromaleigh product and why.

    As for my favorite Gloomth and Aromaleigh products:
    Gloomth: the Anther dress. It has a Victorian feel to it. It's very classic looking and the pattern's totally suteki xD

    Ooooo! I keep wanting to comment about my favorite products — Divine Intervention (from the Gothic Lolita collection) is the most gorgeous color, ever. I've tried lots of Aromaleigh (and other things), but that particular shadow is the most gorgeous olive-greeny-gold… and I own an entire drawer of those shades! Mmm. Two of my favorite gothic product lines, though; how is one supposed to simply choose one favorite?

    (I also embedded the video and promoted this contest; I hope my friends enter! I know a lot of Aromaleigh and Gloomth junkies already!)

    I posted your recipe video, which I liked a lot and I'm definitely going to try it out.^^

    I also mentioned this contest^^

    My favorite AROMALEIGH product is the “2008 Lolita Sweetheart Kit” because
    the bright colors are perfect for the spring season and also for winter.
    It's pefect for cute lolitas but also for girls who like to dress as Himegyaru.
    Plus it would also be a super cute and lovely present for friends^^

    For point three – I like their eyeshadows. Not one particular color, I just like how easy they go on and how they last. :D

    I love Gloomth's Saccharine over-skirt; what a great way to add a lolita touch to any dress. It's also a unique take on the original corset and very flattering on the figure.

    I recomended the page and postes the link in a forum, but you wont be able to see it since only memebers can enter… :(

    About my favourite Gloomth item… it's very difficoult to chouse just one… but I think that maybe the “”Vrai Noir” Autumn Overcoat” . The reason is that I've been in love with coats and corsets my entire life, and see them together in this combination is just perfect . Love the laces.
