The Candlelight Club, 29th June 2012

I've pondered before the unnatural crossover between the Goth and Vintage worlds. It was Mr Valentine who encouraged a group of us go to the Candlelight Club on Friday, held for this occasion just along the terrace from the premises which, an entirely different night of the week, house Slimelight and its popular goings-on. So I went along with Ms Vale and Mr & Mrs Hayden and enjoyed the surroundings, the fashions both authentically period and less so, and the slight thrill that comes from doing something that nobody else knows about. Vintage enthusiasts are not that far removed from Goths really: a set of people having fun doing something stylishly silly together.
