Videos and TV [=

Now now now my darlings,
As you know it is rather boring in the asylum with nothing much to do, so I thought you might want some entertainment to ... well .. err.. entertain you?

Now this video is a Fan vid I made myself of Captin Jack Harkness, the main character of Torchwood a spin off from Doctor Who, starring John Barrowman.

Now, I do quite a few... well am starting to anyway, fan videos of the programmes I watch religiously, or people I love. I find it quite fun (and you get to watch the bits you love over and over again ;] ) All my videos are on YouTube so if you want to find me I am http://www.youtube.com/easytigerbeth Sorry for the self promoting, but you never know.

Anyhow, this brings me swiftly on to my next subject my favourite programmes. Well, I don't have that many you will be relieved to find out, but still enough to make a list out of.

• Doctor Who
• Torchwood
• House
• Greys Anatomy
• Skins
• Kingdom
• NCIS
• Heros

They are a couple... or more than two, yes more than two, even if you look at it upside down. Ah well, I do watch more, say if the BBC does a thing like Blackpool or Casanova I shall watch. It's good quality TV unlike that Big brother. I really don't need another asylum to cope with. That list is watched in order of priority, luckily they are on in different seasons of the year, and days.

House has just had its penultimate episode (UK) and it looks really exciting, but really sad its ended. Hugh Laurie is such an amazing actor, I could never do an accent like him. Also Greys Anatomy is coming to an end too, the last story line is a 3 parter and we have just had the first part, I can't wait for the next couple of eps but am also going to be extremely sad when it ends. I do hope they carry on and do more series for both programmes. The next episode of doctor who also looks amazing, the torchwood team are going to be in it, Rose and Sarah Jane. Daleks are going to be in it too with Davros. Its going to be really exciting, and that's tomorrow (Saturday)!

Anyhow my Darling chicks, I am going to be off now. Have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't do (not much to cancel there really)

Love.

XxX

It Must Be Love.

Seriously, I'm talking serious fashion love.

Antique Shops. I can't get enough of them... its like an addiction that will not be satisfied. I live near Stratford Upon Avon, Shaggspeare land, there are about 3 antique shops there, one is an antique center (its HUGE). They are so pretty and as I was saying to my friend, I could buy them all up and keep them if I had the money. I just adour them.



Most think antique shops are tacky and old. Well, yes they maybe old but have you seen the stuff they sell? One can get a really good bargain, something really pretty or interesting. Indeed it does fuel my passion for the Victorian era, having an abundance in chokers and pocket watches for me to gaze at and wish I had money for. Yes okay, I do find I spend most of my time just staring at the garments that I wish I had the money for, but that's all part of the experience isn't it? I find that if you go in there one can pick up some really good ideas to make stuff.



In one of the shop windows, they have the most elegant choker, I just couldn't walk away. so after standing there for a couple of minutes I decided to go in and ask for the price, praying that it was too expensive for me. £110, i couldn't buy it, but it gave me inspiration.

I suppose its one of those things, you ether love them or hate them. [=




Ah yes, and I suppose I should inform the asylum, my previously blond hair, is now green purple and blue. O__o I love it, but it was meant to be black. Oops. Remember check the dye first. Its lucky I have a four day weekend so I can wash it out... it wasn't permanent so don't worry.

Righty, I really should be in bed now, being 1am in them morning, and I am really tyred, so it would explain the sentence structures of this post... actually, I'm just rubbish at sentences. English is not my strong point, science is (i hope).

Oh and also: Emilie Autumn '4 O'clock' is out, and guess whom has it? Correct it is me. A brilliant piece of musical genius. 3 new songs, 3 remixes and ... 2 recordings of her up coming book! I know, she has spoilt us here my darlings.

I really must be going now, the ward inspectors are getting suspicious.
Night Night, and don't let the bed bug bite.

Me, It and Those?

Dearest My Insane Ones,

This is my first blog, and its probably going to be quite boring. If you get through this then I will commend you to the doctors and you can have some extra free time. Indeed i do have a taste for the Victorian style of life and I will explain soon enough, but first I think I better explain ones self.

I am Bethany, I don't really like my name, probably because its not me at all. I am a Goth and proud, not emo, call me emo and I will have to slit your throat with the surgeons knife. When one says Goth the automatic image that springs to mind is black and studded listening to thrash, well I'm not like that... well... I wear black, red and blue mainly black though. Elegance is what i go for, replacing studs for lace, band T-shirts for tight tops and corsets, tights for stockings, those sort of things. Yes, one is a Victorian Goth. I have a saying and one finds it extremely helpful to stick to it:

Its All; Ribbons and Laces,
Stockings and Corsets,
Chokers and Gauntlets.

This makes a truly refined woman. Fashion, I feel is an art of mine. I put my whole self in to creating an individual look. I do go slightly mad at the sight of lace and have to buy it... but that's not my fault right? I love to be an inspiration to others as long as they don't go stealing my look, because then you feel a part of you has been taken away, isn't yours anymore.

Music. I listen to all sorts, when people say all sorts you expect a few genres but not to many. Lets just say there is nothing I won't give a go. From Classical to Death Metal, I love to listen to it. A few of my favourites are:

• Emilie Autumn
• Jack Off Jill
• The Dresden Dolls
• KoRn
• Tool
• Debussy
• Micheal Buble
• Moi Dix Mois
• Nox Arcana
• London After Midnight

And they are just a few. I play jazz quite allot on my saxophone, which is fun. Classical on my clarinet, which I now play spontaneously once every 4 months. I am taking my grade 5 jazz soon, which will be nerve racking, but I can't wait. Any way enough about me.

The name for my blog, 'The Asylum For Victorian Girls', Originates from Emilie Autumn whom performs a genre of music called Victoriandustrial, this mainly involves Violins, Harpsichords and the voice mixed to sound slightly industrial; moving away from the musical element, she also has a fashion which is mixed between Victorian, Goth and Punk. Miss Autumn also calls where she is based 'The Asylum'. Not meaning any plagiarism by this, i am truly interested in the Victorian times and how they treated their patients. Medical advances were just being made but also still quite a lot of the old remedies, such as bleeding the insane. Hopefully many a time throughout these blogs one may see a comment sidled in about the asylum. I must say the Victorians also had one of the best periods (on my say so) for Artists, Musicians and Writers, People with the likes of: George Richmond, Henry Moore, Bach, Wagner, Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wild. All extremely talented in their line of creativity. You will probably hear me referring to Edgar Allan Poe (EAP) and Oscar Wild (OW) allot in quotes or in little things one may mention, being my favourite authors. On most of my possessions and other things you may find scrawled over them 'The Victorian Revolution', politically incorrect, because the Victorians never had a full revolution. They managed to have many smaller revolutions of technical abilities, and of course there was the industrial revolution. I use this term because as they say "what comes around, goes around" meaning i am referring to the future when i say "Victorian Revolution".

As for my blogs, you can probably tell they are going to be a tad random, i will try and entertain you if one gets bored. And if you have read this far, extra leeches will be needed i will inform the doctor. I may not be correct on everything but I will try my hardest; it sometimes may not be relevant, but does that matter?

Well thank you so much for reading this. My dearest farewells and I Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Au Revior

Beth.
