GOD MAY RIDE A HARLEY BUT GOTH GIRLS LOVE A RUSTY TRIUMPH

 

Fact.

 

Crap heading but its better then Gothunderbird....

WHITBY KUSTOM SHOW

 

Imagine a custom show at the North Yorkshire seaside on a bleak November day,  completely free and populated by thousands of promenading Goths. It was bloody great.

There were only two m'cycles, Peter Pan and me but we were popular !

 More photos later.

DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN

 

 

Whitby next weekend, Gothing Thursday to Sunday, Roding on Saturday. Paul tells me bikes are welcome at the Custom show, i'll be there if you fancy a meet up, dress suitably though !

WHITBY GOTHIC

 

Too busy buying a monster to go to the custom show on Saturday and spent this afternoon with my camera on totally the wrong settings. Next year.....

WEEKENDER, WEEKENDER, GO OUT

 

Whitby will be a riot of colour and laughter...some other time. This weekend is for the best of Europe's Goths and Steampunks to posture and impress. Pale bosoms and polished brass cruise the pavement while grey bachelors with Leicas rush about with the excitement of a '70s DJ at his first ToTP. Hit the Goth tag at the bottom of the post to see what you've been missing. It's on Friday to Sunday with the Whitby Kustom show also on Saturday at West Cliff primary School.

 

Rufforth Autojumble Saturday morning, starts when it gets light ends about midday. I will be there selling quality pre-owned spares and listening to other stall holders moaning about how t'internet has killed everything and how shit t'weather is. Hope for Vincent basket cases, then be disappointed and make do with some hand cleaner and a limp bacon sandwich.
On Sunday at Elsecar, Barnsley is National Street Rods' Northern Swap Meet (i suspect it is probably an Autojumble), only happens once a year so best get down and pick up yet another project to sell on eBay for a loss in January. Details here

 

Sunday also sees the Malton Forest Rally taking place in the Langdale and Cropton complexes. Three WRCs head the main event while the far more popular Historic section is led by local hero Steve Bannister. All the info

GUNS AND ENGLISH ROSES

Me 'n' Alioli are headed to the far north for a week tomorrow to live with puffins, back next Friday for a big weekend. 20 miles west is York Festival of Vintage, Ellie Prix-Warr and Lex-Ann Teek will be attending and spending, doff your hat if you see them.

25 miles the other way is Whitby Goth fest, looking happy is not an option.   

WHITBY GOTHIC WEEKEND

RETURN OF THE ALL BLACKS

Due to some dark politics there are two black weekends at Whitby this autumn, the Fringe this weekend and the Festival on the 4th 5th and 6th of November.
If you do Goth, Steampunk, Metal, Victoriana or even if you are just a Panto Girl make your way over the windswept moors in search of eternal damnation and a bit of a laugh.
