Just what the Dr. ordered!




Just when I thought the day couldn't get any better except for a cupcake, one fell right into my lap! FlamingoCupcake that is! This shop looks good enough to eat!
What do cupcakes have to do with horror you may ask? And I say excuse me? Do we really need an excuse for cupcakes? I mean really. That's what I thought. And by no means is her shop limited to simply sweets, she has some wonderful pop culture delights right in her shop, fun for the whole family, not just you horror freaks.

www.flamingocupcake.etsy.com
here is her proclamation:

My name is Tanya (or T) and I live with my husband and puppy in Baltimore. If Martha Stewart and John Waters had a baby, I would be that child. I studied Interior Design and love decorating my third floor condo as if it were a mid-century modern ranch home in the 1950's. I've been sewing, crafting, and creating things for as long as I can remember. It just made sense to start Flamingo Cupcake Studios (my other etsy shop is now just for my vintage clothing and housewares, ladytscosmicthings.etsy.com) I am a pop culture freak so mixing in horror elements with the rest of my vintage/retro/pinup vibe just seems to work. For anyone in the area, I will be selling at the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival in PA April 2-3. I am super psyched! Come out and see me!Follow her blog over here:

She has an unspecified giveaway, so if you likey what you see, you should follow, because a darkly Delicious delight may just be in the stars for you.

Super Bowl of EYEBALLS!

It is Super Bowl Sunday and I am tearing myself away from the chaos to bring you a feature that I can honestly say I am jealous of.Why am I jealous? Because this lady does'nt only create KICK ASS candles, but she has a life sized Predator that she MADE, his name is Hunter and I want one.

Today's featured shop is LilysByDesign AKA The Halloween Queen!

And oh what a Halloween Queen she is! Here is what she has to say for herself:
"Hi I'm Erin, a 34 year old mom who is a freak for Halloween. I look like a pta mom by day but I have a 9x9 inch tat on my back, a Halloween one! Still proud of it a year later OUCH!
I have an extensive Yard Haunt that has been featured in my local newspaper, and this past year the news came for 4 hours. I have thought long and hard about why I love it so. I realized that I am an artist and love to be creative. Halloween gave me an outlet,but I figured , why can't I do this all year round? So here I am.
Oh here is a link to my yard if you want to check it out:

A bit Kreepy




The Feature of the day is the Stunning KristinaKreep! AKA My Darling Frankenstein.

Kreepy says:

I consider myself a cross between Martha Stewart and Lily Munster, with lots of tattoos :p I'm a 25 year old house wife and stay at home mom of a beautiful baby girl. Our home is pretty much a Horror museum, which is great inspiration for my crafts. I do the crafting for my shop, but I also sew, paint, and I'm witchy in the kitchen. I have an intense love/obsession of horror and pinup culture, I've even done some professional pinup modeling. I began making hair accessories that reflected those loves a couple years ago and I was constantly asked where I bought them, My Darling Frankenstein was born! Almost all of my pieces are hand molded with resin and painted by me. Each skull, cameo, brain, bone, ect! I put so much love and time into each piece because they represent me and these genres I hold so dear. Quality is so important, I would never sell something I wouldn't wear myself. By hand molding pieces I can assure that quality. Some of my items are also available on a horror specialty site, houseofmysterioussecrets.com and I also had a horror convention reach out to me to vend for them this year so I'm really excited about the direction my creations are headed!

You can see more of her fabulous creations at her etsy shop:

A Ghoul's Best Friend




The featured shop of the day is AGhoulsBestFriend!
The shop owner Sara is a 25 year old living in Baltimore, this is what she says for herself;

If I had to describe myself I would say I am a cross between a sailor and a drag queen. I love glitter, fake eye lashes, and have a foul mouth that comes with no shame. I work as a book slave full time and when I am home I enjoy making accessories. I started making hair clips for myself, family, and friends a few months ago. Every time I went out I was complimented on the things I had made. One day I put my things in a small craft show to see how they would sell and after doing quite well I started an etsy page. I don't make anything that I wouldn't wear myself. I pride myself on being sweet and twisted (kind of like a candy cane) and like to bring that side out in the things that I make. Check out her lovely shop here:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/AGhoulsBestFriend

Sara will be choosing one of her delicate lovelies for a giveaway at the end of the month, but if you see something you cant live without feel free to stop into her shop. I really encourage you to follow the blog if you are not yet, check in tomorrow folks, who knows what amazingness is coming!
