Hey guys! I’m really sad to tell you this, but I’ve been super busy with school and I feel like this is the right decision. I, Tara, will no longer be writing for the SG Blog. My identical twin sister Jensen will be taking over the “Doing it With” column from now on! It will work out fine. We live together. She is also really into crafty DIY stuff, and we even have matching tattoos. It will basically be like it’s the same person! Take care. Tara*
Okay, so this week I’ll show you how to take an old T-shirt and make it into a cool looking pillow. It’s very simple, the only things involved are cutting, folding, and ironing.

There’s dust moving through the light, I notice three drinks in. It’s Factory Monday at The Necto nightclub in Ann Arbor, Michigan and I’m surrounded by a significant representation of the local gothic community. They’re projecting some anime film against the wall, which doesn’t strike me as being very goth, but that’s been the common theme of the evening: a vodka-fueled internal struggle with the definition of “gothness” and how to embody it. DJ Jinx is shaking the walls with a Combichrist song I’ve learned to recognize, which causes the textured light (equal parts smoke machine mist and various makeup powders) to twitch and sway to the relentless beat. I’ve been to a handful of Factory Mondays, and each time I can’t help but feel like Colin Farrell at the beginning of the Miami Vice movie—i.e. a total narc. Apart from my Elvis Costello glasses, penchant for black hoodies and old Depeche Mode records, there’s little to no social thread connecting me to this scene. But that’s the secret to understanding the gothic community on southeast Michigan: 1.) They don’t care about me, and 2.) Most of them only very casually care about goth stuff.

“I don’t listen to anyone else.”
– Robert Pattinson
Three years ago, anyone who wanted to talk to Robert Pattinson could have probably just phoned up his agent or publicist and gotten a lunch date with the struggling actor. Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire didnt exactly have groupies, and that was his only really visible role.
