Tonight we'll celebrate the launch of Liisa
Ladouceur's Encyclopedia Gothica at the Gladstone Ballroom in Toronto. (London Ontario, you get a chance October 13 at Nite Owl. See Liisa's site for details.)When Liisa asked us for some "pretty and sinister" prizes for the night, we were happy to contribute. Yeah, we're mostly known for glittery, pop culture stuff, but we've got a dark side too. That's the "basement" part of Barbie's Basement Jewelley, after all. 
We introduced our Victorian Oddities collection in spring - very out-of-season, but when we like an idea, sometimes we just run with it - and we included pieces featuring sideshow stars Jojo the Dog-faced Boy and Annie Jones, a fabulous bearded lady.
Oh, and there's a Ouija serving tray up for grabs too. "Great for serving spirits!" we like to say.
We can't wait to see the amazing illustrations by artist Gary Pullin - what we've seen so far is wickedly good. It's sure to be a dark but fun affair....
Now I must go pull out my circa 1985 crimper and play the The Cure as I smudge on the eyeliner and smell the hairspray sizzle.
