I've been along for most of this ride, but it's cool to hear all the behind the scenes laid out. The blog came into my awareness when I was having to completely hide myself for work. The was no goth culture where that first corporate job was and I was recovering from an ED and none of the beautiful things I had bought and made fit me anymore. I was also very active on Polyvore, which I believe is how I found my way to the blog. Haute Macabre helped me feel connected to a community I had to temporarily bow out of. I'll be forever grateful.
That means more to me than I could really express. honestly, i never expected it to reach as many as it did and make as many people feel comfortable with themselves. that it did is still amazing to me, and i'm grateful that you've been along for the ride.
Polyvore
