I don't agree with the misogynistic attitude of the OP, but I thought the Mygothers would get a kick out of the actual jewellry.

Despite the passive aggressive meanings assigned to the gifts, I'd be happy to receive one of these curiousities.
Old School joysticks? Cat claw rings (as worn by Siouxsie in 'Face to Face')? 'Blood vials'? Bible USB pendant? Plant in a ring?
Naaaiiiice.

Grown From Your Own Bones Ring

Personal favorites of Sugar_Skull include the claw rings, the blood vials (don't they look like sassy little chillies at first glance?) and the joystick for the geek goth in me. \m/ Not to mention rings grown from your own bone tissue remind me of those diamonds made of human ashes.


So ... Your favourite one/s? Would you be offended to receive one of these tokens, or fawn all the harder? Or do you just find this topic weird Post!

Those bone rings are awesome, although I would have a designer add some silver and gold inlay to it.

Man, the some of these are awesome. I've always considered giving people presents that imply "fuck you". I've just never gotten around to it. Thanks for the link Sugar.

[Sugar_Skull]

My pleasure

I think there might be gold or silver edges on the finished ring Heretic, even though there's no ornamentation of the band. Looks like there's an inscription inside too but I can't make it out

I like the look of the cat claw rings. They intrigue me ever so slightly.

That was my first thought, too. And I would give it as a gift to the person who I would want to give everything of myself to...not as some vindictive gift for an ass who's sucking the life from me.

And people I hate are not people I would want to spend good money on.

Then prepare to have your mind blown, my friend





I've never really liked Catwoman and I find the latex suit is a cliche, cringeworthy and contrived against the full force of Siouxsie Sioux herself. The tune is a little commercial (on the soundtrack for a Batman movie I think) but quite pretty. The claws are awesome, I once made some similar but much less professionally made.

[cybele13]

She recorded the song well before it was on the Batman soundtrack...and can't blame her for wanting to make a little money off it. Both the tune and the video are classic Siouxsie.

[Aya McCabre]

Cat claw link => 404.

[Sugar_Skull]

@Cybbie By commercial, that wasn't a swipe at Siouxsie or saying she made it to flog to the Batman movie. I like the song, just meant it seemed to have a more pop kind of sound compared to some of the other ones I have. Maybe I'm off base..

Anyway Siouxsie + cat claw rings - I hope Laz's head hasn't exploded..


The blog could be old Aya. But on ebay they have 'claw tip' rings

And plants can actually grow in rings. Seriously, you water the Icelandic moss and it lives for six months

Ps. If any Mygothers have had a bad day, Google "passive aggressive gifts". I'm hoping I have never unthinkingly done any of these to my family/friends

[RazorToTheRosary]

BLOOD VIAL EARRINGS!!! HELLLSSSS YEAH!!

Well me dear... You are not of the male persuasion.

Claws are... entertaining during somewhat... private moments...

*They turn me on. A lot.*

[Sugar_Skull]

Err.. TMI.

In any case, Siouxsie is a force of nature, and automatically cheapens all surrounding gimcrack baubles with her innate splendour. However I won't say the claws are completely overshadowed in my mind, as they look awesome for show, self defence, and climbing to the cookie jar.

Hmm.. A passive agressive giver could try making me think I smell with a 'Clean and Cleaner' cologne set, but I would squee and snatch it from his/her hands.
Seriously, 'Rain', 'Pure Soap', 'Laundromat' and 'Gin and Tonic' perfumes? Your loss sucker!






http://www.demeterfr...x?ProductID=867


Well, ok. That's pretty goth I guess.






http://www.demeterfr...?ProductID=1005


Ok... now you're pushing it.




Ah, the things I do find when I get bored!

[Johnny_C]

I really need to get that Funeral Home stuff.

[Sugar_Skull]

There's a perfumery near me that stocks some of this stuff. 'Dirt' and 'Thunderstorm' aren't that bad.


Ermm.. knitting for the offspring of a hated cousin?





A 'boyfriend sweater' for the guy you just can't get rid of?
