The Musical Exploration Timeline – from Something Awful. This cracked me up. If you haven’t checked out my new webcomic – Corpsepaint Kitty – yet, you definitely should! I’m putting a new comic up every Monday, and I’ve had some great entries in the REAL [...]

It sounded like a great idea, but it morphed into an epic beast of a project. Since no gingerbread book contains instructions for making a Viking ship, we [...]

I had JUST received my stunning SWANClothing Sock Garters in the mail, so of course I had to find a way to wear them: SWANClothing Sock garters Black skirt – I call it Gladiatrix because it [...]

With the music industry still in turmoil, and even major label bands losing out [...]

Distressed clothing, that is. She’s written a tutorial on studding and distressing a pair of jeans for us all. A really cool pair of distressed jeans can run you into a good $200. Want some studs on it? PAY EVEN MORE! Seriously, who can pay [...]

On the request of a few readers from the survey (which you totally need to fill out if you haven’t already. I’ve had so many ideas from reading all your answers) I’ve created a Steff Metal Facebook Fan Page, and you can become a fan and [...]

I wasn’t entirely certain why anyone would want to know this, but I’ve discovered aging (read, over 20) metalheads decorating their first homes and wanting something more than the old beer can pyramid in the living room. CDH and I [...]

I confess to owning two-and-a-half drawers full of the suckers, and my husband isn’t much better. One problem with being a female metalhead – t-shirt designers forget you exist.
