I can only seem to find them on a Russian site. I know they do the sandals but I've got a beard and I don't want to look like Goth Jesus, these might be a bit more fitting but I can only seem to find them on Russian or Polish sites, I've never found them on the main new rock site.

England is so flipping humid right now you can't wear anything even vaguely fancy, and forget layers, you will die...

I see a lot of people on here looking for ideas for masculine outfits, there's so much feminine goth stuff out there, and I don't see anywhere near as much on the masculine side.

I got a T shirt from the charity shop for a couple of quid and proceeded to cut it up to make something a bit more suited to this minging weather we're having right now...

Basically I got hold of a long sleeve T shirt (short sleeve is easier, but this is what they had) that was a couple of sizes too big (it gets smaller when you weave it and I wanted it oversized).

I cut the sleeves off with a pair of decent kitchen scissors (better if you have proper fabric ones) then I shaped the sides to make the arm holes bigger, this is a matter of personal taste, less is more, you can take it off, but you can't put it back.

I cut a bit of the bottom because it was quite long and looked like a dress on me. It doesn't matter about the edges, they kind of roll up.

For the back, it looks complicated but it's pretty easy. You fold it in half, slit it (start and finish with smaller slits width-wise as otherwise it gets saggy) then you basically weave it, pull the strip of material that's second down through the first, then third down through the second etc etc. I've probably explained that terribly but there's loads of tutorials on it out there.

It would probably be about £40 if you got one of these from some goth fashion shop, but this is as cheap as you can get a t shirt from a thrift/charity store.

Anyway, hope this helps someone!

Greedy bastard re-sellers on eBay can suck my balls 😂

Am I ok to screw into those white bits on there? Wife has just sent me this pic, there's so much tape on there it looks like an Egyptian mummy. I was just going to drill the plate and screw it on...

I've got some very boring (and colourful) suitcases and I'm looking to replace them with something more suitable.

I was going to buy two of the Killstar large coffin ones for my wife and I, but they're out of stock and they've said they aren't doing them any more.

Has anyone got any ideas for an alternative, must be a proper suitcase with wheels and handle please, I'd rather get something decent that doesn't fall apart, I know there's a few on Temu etc but I don't want anything that's going to fall to bits 😂

Thanks to everyone who showed kindness to my two at their first ever concert. This is one of my boys on the shoulders of a man who'd never met them before. The man behind was looking out for them whenever anyone barged through. Someone gave them the stickers out of their VIP pack, another gave them their spare earplugs. (They kept losing them)

They were treated like royalty and cheered on by everyone when they did the charity bike race on the turbo trainers, someone helped us with the "secret route" into the urinals, the wellbeing team gave us wristbands and ice cold water, and everyone let them through the crowd when we made our way backwards to get out before the end.

It felt like one big family, and this is why Maiden gigs are special. The boys loved it, they are knackered today 😂

It was an absolute shit show getting in and out the venue (but that's another matter), but the Darkness were bloody brilliant. They even did a bit of "Don't let the bells end" because someone in the crowd shouted out for it 😂

I've not seen these anywhere else, but as far as I can tell they're an exclusive to Schuh in the UK (they are 💯 real)

I dress ABIT corporate goth anyway, so it seemed only right to try and inject a bit of New Rock in to my everyday attire.

They aren't great for walking long distances, or driving (but I still can), but more importantly, they're one of those "if you know, you know" things

My flat rock moulted last week, he's still tiny and when I got him from the shop he didn't eat because he was still waiting to moult. Now he's moulted, he's still not feeding. Am I doing anything wrong? I'm putting out small, dead crickets as an offering for him but I can't see that he's touched them and they just seem to go fuzzy and I remove them.

My flat rock (Mr Crowley) has finally moulted. I've been offering him food for ages and he's not been going for it so I thought it might be time.

​

Now he's had a moult, I've offered him a fresh dead cricket, will he eat straight away or just leave it? I've had him a few weeks and as far as I can tell he's not eaten anythinb

My Arizona Blonde barely moves most days, but he becomes very animated when he's got food. Is he happy, or distressed?

​

I've been expecting him to molt for a while now but he doesn't seem to be wanting too, despite how fat he is...

​

I'll add that I got him from a friend who moved to Australia and I don't know much about his history, age, or if he even is a he!

For when I need to go to an evening event but I still manage to smuggle in some New Rock Loafers and Great Frog Jewellery. I can't wear a white shirt, it just doesn't agree with me 😂

I went to go and get some food for my Tarantula yesterday and I saw this little guy, I had to have him!

Apparently he's due a molt, he was in his new habitat for about 8 hours and he's buggered off. I can't find him with the blacklight. I think he's hiding under the bark (he can't get out)

If he is melting, how long should I expect to wait before he's out and about again please?

Last pic is what he came in so his new enclosure is quite a bit bigger, but not enormous.

John 5 in Southend UK tonight, joined by Nikki 6's tech, Fred (Who is such a nice guy) they played a medley of Motley Crue songs at the end of the show. He's an insane guitarist, absolutely brilliant show.

John 5 playing in Southend, UK tonight. His entrance and exit music was MM. The guy is an absolute powerhouse of a guitarist, one of the most overlooked and underrated guitarists in my opinion.
