Hey everyone your Fairy Gothmother here sharing some cool things from my Goth life in Germany. My husband Jurek and I moved to beautiful Leipzig home of the biggest Gothic gathering in the world Wave Gotik Treffen. Its a goths dream come true. Simply attending it was not enough I want to live it and be a part of it every year! So I am super lucky. If you do not know me I am Cathrine and I grew up in Michigan about a hr north of Detroit near Harsens Island. I always been a bit weird and I got into the gothic lifestyle and discovered Detroit Goth scene. It was difficult with my life, circumstance and location to be a huge part of it but never the less I did at least come experience and meet some of Detroits/Michigans fellow goths and attend some clubs and events. As I got more into the music and life I also took notice of the national and international scene and thirsted for more. I grew to love Industrial music and EBM and so much of it came out of Germany and I discovered M'era Luna and WGT. I knew I would have to learn some German because my love for German music and so I could one day go to these events. After moving to California for a few years I finally decided to go big or go home. I thought why not do something amazing and move to Germany? I do not have children and I may have my medical issues but I have the independence to travel. I began building a network of friends and also began to grow a interest in dating German guys as well. I mean why not go for a cute German goth guy? Anyways fast forward and I have been in Germany over 3 years. I am married to a adorable lovely guy and we have a naked Donskoy cat named Giizmo. We went to M'era Luna together in 2013 and moved to Leipzig end of December 2014. Now we are settling in and working on our goals and plans for our life here. First taking care of priorities but still enjoying some bits of the goth scene when we can afford the time and money. So this thread will be where I share my life in photos with a little blogging about things. I also encourage anyone who has ever experienced or visited to also join in post photos or post comments, photos and ideas about the scene and things you want, want to see and experience. So I will start by posting some photos from the past couple years. Sorry I am not in many since right now until I shed the weight I feel uncomfortable in too many photographs. So I will begin with some pics from M'era Luna 2013 and progress from there!

Our First Christmas in Leipzig! My husband got a good job a few months ago and life is on the up and up. He bought me this beautiful Evil Princess coat from Dracula Clothing and a custom pair of old school gothic pikes form London. My in laws bought us The Cure tickets. I put up for the first time since I left my parents a proper tree. I had one small tree a few years ago but it had barely anything more than a dozen baubles and a string of lights. This tree is a black tree and I made the tree skirt a few decos and bought a couple sets of lights and baubles and a glittery purple tree star. I am hosting Christmas dinner this year too for my in laws so I have been a busy bat. Ever since I moved to this gothic city things have been getting better. I hope you all are also having a wonderful holiday. If not then I send love and hugs. I spent quite a few years down in the dumps and alone and in shitty situations during the holidays so I know all too well how depressing and painful it can be. Keep hope though and remember to try treating yourself or reaching out to others. I am thankful for getting my start in the Detroit Goth scene. I learned so much and it helped me take the adventurous leap to chase my dreams. I met some cool people and on here included had made some nice friends. I am sorry I am not so active on the forums. I still working on so many things! I want to get some more cool things done to share with you especially for the next 25 yr anniversary of WGT.
