Barbarella the Tiger woman - proving that 'footy-punk' is not an oxymoron. Just before attending the first game of the season.

Me in black and white (by Deborah Dickson).

Some gits at my 30th (Faith, Jason King, Richard Watts).

Two other gits.

A goth clothesline is one where the clothes are sorted into blacks and colours. Here's the first wash - front and back. Note the net.goth tee.

Megan's housewarming party - the perky and the mopey.

Barbarella and her prep teacher, Cheryl Reid, who maaaaay be corruptible by us dark forces ... ;-)

Another Gothtoberfest shot - Barbarella and I.

The rather intense green angel outside a block of flats just down from Victoria Markets. I'd feel pretty safe if she were protecting my house, that's for sure.

Here we come, walking down the street ... on our way to Gothtoberfest.

At the table inside the Gothoberfest hall.

Joey in purple and Nicola with intense red spikes.

Adelaide kiddies Alethea and Dan pre-Oxide.

The entire city of Adelaide over for a visit.

Not a goth picture per se, but a sentiment that I'm sure will raise a smile.

'Ria, Peter, Nicola, Joey, Two-Slabs and Francis on the couch at Oxide.

Megan (Nicola below, a bit of Peter's hand).

A shot of the accountant from Hell, on his way to say 'hi' to his second-favourite Ch*rch. Barbarella on her way to the same place.

Joey shows the power of purple hair (and you can see why she's my current Purple Hair consultant). (Nicola and Megan also in pic.)

Two-Slabs shows that the Silly Hat is absolutely essential to expressing one's true Punk Rock nature. Joey has her doubts.

Ben and Peter at Natalie's.

First, catch your punk. Here's one I caught earlier ...

First day I met Barbarella - H-Block show at the .

Barbarella at the Punter's Club; seeing the Martians or some equally enthralling rock band.

Kitten Kong at Natalie's.

Barbarella and Georgia - goth girls at play. (The Q & A pics are not going up.)

Come on over, visit Megan, pull up a patch of dirt ...

Barbarella's thoroughly excellent velvet frock coat.

Barbarella and I with Dave.

Vlad the wonderful cat, with Barbarella (of all people).
