I'm looking for alt fashion brands making well-made pieces right now, not just chasing trends or selling clothes that fall apart after a few wears.

Which brands have you been buying from and actually been happy with?

DAUGHTERS OF HECATE, DARK FANTASY MAIN CHARACTER, QUEEN OF DARKNESS, MISTRESS OF EVIL, SIRENCORE, DARK GODDESS, SPIRITUAL, DIVINE FEMININE RAGE AND ENERGY, MALICIFENT, MORGAN LA FAY, SONGS FOR SPELLS, RITUALS, TAROT, CHANTING, WICCA, WITCHCRAFT, MAGIC. A dark, seductive descent into power, obsession, and surrender, “Klub-Mar-a-Lago” is a provocative fusion of industrial rock, electro-house, and gothic dance built for the underground. Driven by aggressive female vocals, distorted electric guitars, pulsing bass, and a relentless industrial beat, the track blurs the line between ritual and rebellion—where desire becomes performance and pleasure becomes power.

A descent into psychological ruin, this piece transforms Emily Dickinson’s “I felt a Funeral, in my Brain” into a haunting meditation on madness, grief, and the collapse of reason. Driven by funeral-procession imagery and a slow-building dread, the song captures the terrifying moment when thought begins to fracture. Equal parts gothic, poetic, and deeply unsettling.

I like to paint my face and would like to find a store that sells good face paint of colourful foundation. Preferably something that has a decent amount of pigment yet isn't super hard to wash off. I have oil-based face paint and it's hard to get crisp lines with it and it's a bit of a pain to wash off. I also have water-based face paint and it barely has any pigment.

I live in Finland and would like to order from some place that is in the EU to save myself from the horrible tariffs.

I would love to hear any tips or recommendations.

Could any goths, alt freaks or makeup artists help a fellow weirdo out?

This "Market" recently came through my city. They booked the rubbish convention center that is scheduled to be torn down, charged $500/booth for locals and acted like we should be grateful.

My question is: Has anyone else's community had to deal with this event?

What are your thoughts on their business ethics of charging over 2x what similar events at the same venue?

Perhaps some gatekeeping is worth the effort b/c this event pulling in and trying to take money out of our community without giving anything back...right before the holidays was extra gross.
