Support local cafes!

My husband took me on a sweet coffee date at our local cafe'. I try to support only local places especially with the covid 19 pandemic and so many places having to shut down. I think small businesses are absolutely essential! Please support your local charity shops, cafe's and eateries :D

 

New graphic novel and book to read this month

Hope you all had a nice Autumn. I have been so incredibly busy past many months I am just now getting around to uploading all my Summer and Fall pics. Yay for Winter. I cant wait for Yule and to celebrate with my family and my husband. 

 

Twin Peaks pop up in L.A.

If the RR diner Twin Peaks pop up comes to your town and you haven't experienced it, you really should. I read about it briefly and happened to be in L.A. the time that it happened. I was so incredibly stoked and there was a young man there who bought me an owl/log lady themed key chain. Thank you to whoever that was. So sweet and kind. I will keep it always with me. I love the energy in L.A. bustling, fun, exciting, beautiful multi cultural atmosphere. The highlight of my night was meeting Adele Rene' and other actors and actresses in season 3 of Twin Peaks. Adele Rene' played the sergeant. They were all so grateful and kind. They thanked us for being there. Adele complimented my outfit. She was so lovely and sweet to take a photo with me. They had the outfits from some of the characters there for sale. I ended up getting a fun bag, a lunch box and some David Lynch coffee beans. This made my year. If you are a hardcore Twin Peaks fan like me I feel you will enjoy this. I can't wait to make some vegan cherry pie and have some of that coffee!!

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks has always held a special place in my strange heart. Spooky, fascinating and trippy, David Lynch's iconic masterpiece is getting a comeback this April so naturally I had to pay homage to this brilliant director and awesome series. If you were anything like me you might have had a crush on agent Dale Cooper. This series had such an effect on me in the 90's. I'd rush home to watch the series whenever I could. From the sexual, eerie undertones of Audrey Horne to the kooky log lady and many other characters, Twin Peaks will always be one of my favorites. I love Lynch's other works like Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. I own all of those plus Eraserhad and others but I decided to do a fun cosplay series of a few of my favorite characters on Twin Peaks: Dale Cooper, Audrey Horne and Log Lady. The show is  a way to this goth girl's heart and yes I did have a damn fine cup of coffee whilst shooting these stills. I hope you enjoy! 

Cafe's in Seattle

Some of my favorite cafe's I will post up here. I didn't get to visit them all but next time I will visit more. I talked to a lot of the locals and they gave me a heads up on some of their favorite spots. If there is one thing Seattle is known for it is their excellent coffee. If you go, definitely check some of these out. I hope you coffee nuts enjoy this post ;)

I found a Starbucks here that serves liquor. Awesome. I hope more Starbucks follow this trend soon. I'd love to see this in San Francisco if they haven't done it already. 

Yum. I have always really liked Tully's coffee. The only one I can find in Bay Area is SF.

Cafe Argento was awesome. They also had vegetarian and vegan goodies. It was nestled on Capitol Hill, which is a pretty popular place for college age people like myself and others. 

Thank you to the awesome chick from the book shop who told me about Kaladi Brothers cafe. It was delicious and they had healthy salads and other goodies as well. These were some of the favorite cafe's I visited. I loved how organic and tasty their coffee's were in Seattle and most places didn't put too much syrup in them and make them overly sugary like some places do.

Caffe Ladro was one of my favorites. The girl at the bar made the most delicious soy, vanilla latte. She told me they made their own vanilla beans there and you could definitely taste how fresh and non sugary everything was. It was just the right amount. I picked up a gluten free, vegan, raspberry brownie bite to pair with it. It was so incredibly amazing. I definitely will be back there. 

Vintage finds in Seattle

We went to grab some coffee at one of the local Starbucks. Did I mention they serve wine there? aah it is so rad. Around the corner we found some really awesome vintage stores. If you are looking for cool, vintage finds goth and non goth I would recommend checking out some of the stores here. You are bound to find more gothic items at places like Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange here.
