Picnic in the Cemetery...

My friends and I always joke about getting totally decked out in the most dark, morbid and eerie fashions that we sell and have a picnic in the cemetery on the first nice day of summer, drinking a little Merlot and listening to Bauhaus while the secret sunlovers of Portland dress up in easter egg colored tank tops for the annual fashion show. Anyhow, if you share my vision, you should check out our New products at the Gothstore!

Most notably, we’ve added new jewelry to our collection including new rings and earrings. We’ve also created a new Joy Division design which will be arriving in the next week, so for all of you Curtis fans, be on the lookout. Speaking of Joy Division, they have been getting quite the press lately, with the film “Control” and a new documentary out. It has spawned quite a following for the frontrunners of the cathartic 1980’s dark pop, especially here in the office.
I highly recommend an older film about the band, 24 Hour Party People is an amazing profile of the Manchester music scene from Joy Division’s beginnings to the rise and fall of Factory Records.

And in reverence, here’s very young Bernard Sumner playing what would have been the first US tour for Joy Division as New Order in NYC, 1981.
