Wow. Long time no see! I've had so much homework....anyway!

WOO-HOO! Series 5 pictures have been realesed!=-D And Oh my god this must the best series yet!

12"

Annabelle Lee is named after a Edgar Allan Poe poem. It goes

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love -
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me
Yes! that was the reason
(as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In the sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea

Esperanza De Muerte means "Hope for Death"....Nice

Ivana Screan is the only modern goth in the new series! She has the most amazing trench coat of all time don't you think?

"Leda Swanson is named after the Greek myth involved Leda, the beautiful wife of the King of Sparta. The god Zeus fell in love with her, and to gain access to her he transformed himself into a swan. I won't go into details of what happened next, but lets just say that she laid two eggs with then hatched the twins Castor and Pollux." Info courtsy of Marva

Storm as little red riding hood. Genius! I love her red locks!

And there's more!

Guilty of Obsession

2006-01-23T16:45:00.000Z

Guilty of Obsession is a little fansite dedicated to Bleeding edge! Seriously I think it's freaking crazy the amount of stuff she's manages to put on that site. There are a serious anount of little pixel dolls,good pictures,some signatures and varient/exclusive checklists YAY!

The owner of this incredible little site is Sericea who you may remembergot 1st place blog contest. I seriously wonder how she manages both. A round of applause to Sericea!

2006-01-23T16:02:00.000Z

Bleeding Edge have been nominated in the Best Original Concept Line category in the Glolden Toy awards. The other nominees can be found in Lee's Toy Review new issue #159.

Lee's are allowing people to send a vote in. One vote per person. All you have have to do is send a e-mail to afn@earthlink.net and from there all your required to do is type the name of the company (bleeding edge)(pretty please!)but make sure the Subject heading is "2005 GTA vote" so it's that quick!

I think you should give them a vote. After all they spread a new light goth and Gothic toys. Not the same sort of depressed maniac most Companys do. The dolls themselves are are perfect in there own ways and show all the various forms of Goth. They are truely a company worth support. So go on!

Translation

2006-01-22T14:29:00.000Z

SuziSin Ful and Fiona Fatale both have things writen on them in different Languages. Fiona from Series 4 has "Bleeding Edge" written under her hairline in chinese.

While SuziSin has "black" written on one cheek and "winter" on the other, it's in Japanese Kanji.

Pretty cool huh? Credits go to Sericea for the translations!

p

Full Name: Storm O. Misery

Favorite Color: "Still black, babe"

Pets: I just bought a wombat on the black market (just kidding authorities). Anyway, his name is Mr. Tabmow. So far we get along, he's nocturnal, as I am, so there's hope we can cohabitate peacefully."

Likes: Mr. Tabmow (so far). Walking down narrow alleys with a large umbrella during high speed wind advisories. Tea with LOTS of sugar and milk and a signed poster of Uncle Fester from the original TV series.

Hates: "The lack of creative material for movies. I'm very annoyed with all this rehashing of all the lame shows and cartoons of the past 30 years into bad sequel after bad sequel. They were marginal to start and really only good when you were sick at home from school, so why torture the general populace any longer? It makes me ill. I hate it and it sucks and please someone stop it immediately.

Good Christmas

2005-12-28T17:56:00.000Z

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! I got about 6 more Begoths for my collection...they beautiful <3. I also got 2 Princess Ai's they are much prettier in person than in the pictures I've seen! I tried really hard to get a decent pictu of them but they don't like being photographed by the looks of things. Anyway I got Angelic and Fell to earth whic are the niced out of the 7" ones I recon. They stand ontop of my telly guarding my precious Final Fantasy stuff ( new obsession). They're so purty.....

Little Problem

2005-12-24T13:55:00.000Z

Sorry folk. I a couple of my picture of the weeks from last month I used other peoples photos (credited) but it won't let me delete them. Reason I tried todelete them in the 1st place was because I forgot to ask permission! I feel awful now!

Merry Christmas!!!

The site.

2005-12-20T20:43:00.000Z

I just noticed I've never really told you about the actual Bleeding edge goths website. Welll.... It's really hard to become bored on the site it has so much more besides promotoing there toys!
If you like me are really easily amused then the little thigs like spinning dolls will keep you amused plus give you a better idea of what your buying! Look at the bottom of the page! Swwet huh?
Now we have a section called Doom and gloom which is really informative and is quite often updated. They do peices on Various artists,shops and musicans and they also provide loads of link to sites they've liked. Anyway in the same section we have the current goth/gloom toon
which is always a great laugh! They're all so good it's hard to pick favouites! The Goth or Gloom toons are updated weekly so there always something nice and new there! Also if it interests you, you could sign up for the newsletter which is positivly a great way to catch up on the latest with the dolls and site updates. Also if you sign up and your a member of the Crypt Club lucky you will sometimes get a special code which means you can get discounts. This site unlike most does appear to sell your e-mail to "trusted 3rd parties" so you won't be getting any junk which is a great positive!!
Moving on we have this Mischief section. Which includes the forum. I highly recommend it to all. It is full of lovely people who are always helpful and kind!None of the rubbish you see on some other goth related forums! Halloween seems to be a rather big thing for Begoths. There is another bit dedicated to it. with as seen in the Doom and gloom section has a sort of site review and tones of links!! Morbid Curiosity is a sort of Random facts list some of then are werid like "Did you know that If you take one pound of cobwebs and spread them out in one straight line, it will go around the earth 2 times." Lots of ramdom facts like that. That brings us to "haunts" I've never really spent much time looking at it but it appears to be about haunted buildings and ghost stories which is kinda cool, it follow the trend as seen in the doom and gloom section with lots of links. Moving along we now have the "Dark places" bit it seems to be a list of gothic nightclubs and other gothic area's of interest and we conclude "mischief" with On location basicly it pictures of the dolls on holiday or in unusual places some really cool like Divinty standing infront of the smallest church in the world!!

So what you doing reading this? Go and check it out now!

Hmm I was just reading about this "crypt club" it's the Bleeding edge online store. I notice that there's a funky welcome pack at the price of $35 which works out at about £20.15/29.92euro. I think that's pretty good considering that your getting

2 gifts from the grave (I wonder what they are?)

I really need to get a membership. Another thig I noticed is that it's a one of thing so it dosn't need renewed. Meeh I need to save up!

Princess Ai
