2011-08, Mayhem, Toronto. At the time, Mayhem was designing goth-inflected clothing for club wear. Everything they are wearing here was designed and made by them except for the mesh shirt and shoes.

Alt: four colour photos of Mayhem looking pale in plain studio setting; a hint of pre-Rapahelite style. 1. Headshot wearing a black shiny vinyl jacket with many metallic embellishment. 2. Full length, half-turn left, vinyl jacket over his shoulder, showing off the matching pants. 3. Full length, wearing a scarlet jacket with epaulettes over a mesh shirt and the black vinyl pants. 4. Full length, shirt off, holding the red jacket open.

Wishing the legendary writer, poet and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe a very "happy" birthday.

January 19, 1809
