30 seconds in and I’m already thrilled you’re dressed like you’ve been haunting a crumbling castle on the cover of an english folk horror novel
Oh I hope you're right about all of it! Chapelle Roan comes to mind at the Grammys she even had like a pointed clown hat. Disturbia did a Harlequin line a couple years ago. The show Wednesday also has helped blow up the Goth vibes.
Yes. Let's go!! Spooky time.
I was at Michael’s yesterday and some of their Easter stuff was def felt like classic tea party/victorian spring
The only trend predictions that I care about 🎉🎉
Love this! My Prediction was "Green Witch" aesthetic. And I also said vampires were coming back so I feel like thats two for two at least ! ;-)
I'm glad your husband is doing better! I have extreme myopia (my corrections are -12 and -14, which for non-glasses people, that is COKE BOTTLE, even with compact lenses), and a few years ago, on Easter Sunday, I lost vision in one eye and my eye doctor made me come in immediately on EASTER SUNDAY to check that it wasn't a detached retina. Luckily, it wasn't. Unluckily, it was my first insane migraine in an absolute migraine hell, including but not limited to paralysis of half of my body. =/
Had a detached retina 2 years ago..had surgery but I've not got great vision in that eye since. Sending good wishes from a fellow myopic.❤
Yesssss Midge!! I'm really focusing on voting with my dollar and it's made me so much more aware and purposeful. I love the message ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wishing you and your family health and happiness!
Yay Midge Munster time woot!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
The minute you said clown core, I immediately thought of Kathleen! Thank you for pointing us in the direction of your friend’s channel!
Yayyy! Perfect timing, needed a dose of Midge after this crazy week 🩷
I wish I enjoyed sewing… I hated it in 7th and 8th grade but it might be time to revisit it or support even more small businesses! And I love your predictions, I hope they all come to pass… 🖤🖤🖤GGFL
I heard Castlecore will be a thing and I really hope that's true because I just want to be living the antique and haunted life.
Thank you Midge ❤ great to see you and loved this video!!! I agree with all that you said 💯 percent 👏I’m in my early 50’s and I am learning to embrace my Romantic 🦇Gothic, Witchy 🧹Cottagecore 🦊wear and decor year round and loving it! I love that others are as well, looking forward to all your videos in 2025 and loving your podcast as well!!
I actually have not bought one single clothing item in the last 8 years =) It has not been by choice but I am happy to be contributing to the anti-consumerism movement!!! 💕
Missed these videos, Midge❤
YAY!! Missed you, Midge! 💖 Thanks for the great momentary distraction from all of the destruction 🙏🏼
I'm going to cut back on buying things house is full of stuff and things that prices might go up too. I am avoiding buying V day decorations using what I already have or DIY and probably will do so for all the other holidays and home decor in general running out of space.
My heart needed this dose of spook and alternative culture. 💜 Hope Taylor is feeling better - scary! Kathleen Illustrated is really great for clowncore stuff too, love her and glad to see her mentioned here!
I bought my first sewing machine in January. At the very least I'm going to learn how to add pockets to my clothing.
Yaaaaaaay Midge is back!
So excited for the Valentine’s Day content!!!
Miss Midge… what I am here for is YOU! I’ll be happy with whatever that brilliant creative mind yours wants to share with us! Of course I found you because of spooky but there is just so much more to enjoy with you. Personally I’m very excited to hear home DIY is on the table this year. Please give the hubby a hug and wish him the best. 🧡🖤🧡🥰
Yes, I make most of my clothes from thrifted bed covers, so selfmade is my thing. I hope that you are right. I love a mix between your vampire and clown core suggestions. You are a witch, of course there is no suprise you get stuff from the collectif. They should pay you for this ;)
I painted my library a deep wine/burgundy color last year and hung a bunch of vampire art. I'm really hoping to see more Victorian and Vampire stuff for plus-size fashion this year! (Crossing my fingers, o so tightly!) Also, I love your channel and am so inspired by your style.
Before, during and after my birthday in January I found halloween decor that's been discounted. It's like the spirit of halloween was telling me, happy birthday! Now, I get to watch a video from Midge Munster! Best birthday month, EVER!
I love how the La Femme En Noir Crimson & Clover line came out today. Midge is on point! ❤🖤
Sounds awesome Midge. I love the idea of creating my own garb. 🧡🖤.
Your channel is such a comforting place! I love it 🖤
Awh thank you so much 🥹
Happy February…Valloween here we come ❤️
I love Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
So I didn't know about the Michaels "Book Lover Tote" and now I want to make one 👀
Barnes & Noble
Snapping my fingers like it's a poetry reading up in here. I think you absolutely Nailed it with your predictions 🖤 So looking forward to all of your upcoming home endeavors and sending out extra Imbolc blessings for you and poor Taylor
I’m definitely on the same wave length with accumulating stuff…I always ask myself, Can I make it? Can I thrift it? Can I buy it from a small business? Then if I still need it, I at least do my research on the company I’m gonna buy it from, I want it to be made as local as possible, even if that simply means (for me) made in Canada.
As far as colour trends, I’m already seeing a lot of deep vibrant reds in clothing shops, so you’re right on target!
I hope New Rmantic style comes back. I was 10 years when I got into Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran.
Yeeey Midge is back!😄🥳💜
I'm just here to say your hair and makeup is beautiful!
Subscribed! Finding your channel made my night! 🖤
Cant wait to see your thrifting videos!!! Its on of my favorite things to do !!
Oh man, sorry to hear! My mom had a detached retina years ago. Got into surgery asap to thankfully reattach. She's been doing well since! Hope your husband has a speedy recovery!!
I'm exhausted by trend culture. It's too much. I like finding people such as yourself that can delve into their own creativity, and create something themselves. I do love Halloween/spooky/Victorian vibes, so I'll embrace some of that.😂
Thanks again for your creativity!!!❤
Us ghouls can always count on you to lift our spirits and show us alternative ways to stay true, cool, responsible, Boo!! Love you!! Can't wait for Valloween! 💖🖤👻
I find it fun that you talked about the "earth" & "dark aquatic" thing because i also noticed this and love it! it is the year of the snake 🐍😁
I hope your hubster is healing well with his eye and I’m excited to see your predictions!!! ♥️♥️♥️
P.s. we went aquatic last year for Halloween and it was a hit! I was a dark mermaid/siren and everyone loved it! Huge hit!
So happy you’re gonna do some valentines focus content ❤
Yes!!! I would love to see some of your thrifting hauls!Always enjoy your videos Midge! ❤
Very cool to hear your thoughts on all of this. Definitely important to think about how to do things in the world that are kind to the planet. As an old school goth/ new romantic, I am here for "the kids" picking up the fashion and making it their own! We all have to start somewhere, and for me, it was seeing The Hunger (with David Bowie of course, but also Bauhaus playing Bela Lugosi's Dead in an opening scene) and also realizing that there was a group of people who were into the gothic novels I was into.... and the rest is history. :) At 57 I feel neither too old or too anything else to not do what I want with my time. It's so precious! Resist the stultifying norms and create your life!
I wear recycled clothing. I mostly wear black. I love fantastical aquatic and flying creatures. My sewing skills are limited to hems, button changes and removing unnecessary "bedazzling" of my thrifted finds, but still valid. So I may be good to go with 2025, at least trend-wise. Looked up detached retina (w/o images of course). Sounds like the SO is likely in the regaining lost vision phase. I am blind in one eye, so I need no empathy regarding mobility issues. I have lots of banged knees and stubbed toes to validate that statement. Wishing everyone good health.♥
Happy New Year 🕛🎊 Midge
I hope we see more of the shoebill stork! Now that's an odd bird!
Craft it, or Thrift & Alter it, has been my go to way of doing things (especially in fashion, since it is rare to find something at a store that fits me). And of course, shop the house first to see if something can have a new life in a different form.
I LOVE the phrase shop the house! 🖤 One of my fave things to do is see what old stuff I have lying around I can repurpose. Thank you for giving me a turn of phrase for that haha!
Yay Midge update!!! Your poor husband! They thought I had a detached retina once, but luckily, it was not. I'm so sorry he went though that, and I hope all is well for him now.
Thank you! You have inspired me more thank you know! 2025, the year to learn new skills! 💜
Glad to see ya back, Midge. Loved your forecast. You've made my year! Can't wait to see what's next from you. Love what you do!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Happy you are back ❤ I hope your husband continues to get better.
You are looking beautiful, as always!!!
Midge! Welcome back! So glad that your husband is recovering well and that you took some time for yourself! Thank you for inspiring me to be my best spooky self year round and VOTE WITH MY DOLLAR! Can’t wait to see what you have planned this year! 🖤🕷️🌙
Happy new year it’s good to see you back.
Oh I can’t wait to see your thrifting and home improvement videos! 🎉
Oh we are SO BACK. This video felt so true to you in your element, I loved it! Loooove always hearing your predictions
In terms of Halloween/Spooky season decor, I'd also recommend Dollar General. They had a lot of witchy items last year, but it's a bit of a gamble what store has what.
So happy to see a new Midge video! Hope your husband is doing well now. I completely agree about focusing more on DIY and small business. There are a lot of large retail corporations that I will not be spending my money on because of which party they donated to during the election. Your craft videos have always been my favorite anyway!
Wishing your husband a speedy and full recovery.
I’m doing the buy less and work with what I already have.
Such an educational video. Never knew the different style names. Also thank you for other creators recommendations.
Why does January feel so looooong?!!
Cant wait for Frankenstein's influence!!!
Great video! I love your predictions. More vampires please!
You hit Lunar New Year almost perfectly, so I'd say your timing is just fine. ^_^
That’s what I was thinking too 🤣 I was like “eh close enough” HAHA
Looking forward to what spooky season has in store for us.
I wish more places had Valloween items and decor! I know small business have it but I want it mainstream because I too love Valentines and Halloween together !
Yes, Midge! I think you're spot on.
I’ve avoided the fast fashion apps. I’m also cutting back on random t shirts at Walmart or target and buy special ones from independent stores.
LOOOVE thrifting, Midge! Looking forward to it. I'm a spooky/Witchy thrifter
So looking forward to spooky season! Hopefully I won’t be lazy and make some fun craft projects. Also looking for some sewing classes in my local area. 🖤🖤🖤
Definitely see the "dark aquatic" theme in the new Haunted Mansion bar on the Disney Treasure cruise ship🪦
I've always been to "pick and choose" - why settle on thing when they're are so many awesome ways to dress/decorate etc.? Lately I really like this western trend and decided to redo my entry way but only with diys and very few supplies.
Glad to see a new video from you Midge! I follow you on Instagram too, but was really missing your UA-cam content. I'm glad you are well and your husband is on the mend!
Love your enthusiasm in this video!!Great topic!🕸️
Thrifting yes! Take us with yooou!
i love your chickadee on your side table, with her little coat and scarf on, i watched that until you popped up the red gothic clothing
She’s Tippi Hedren from the birds! Haha
i loved this 🧡 i can’t wait to see how many predictions come alive this year! ✨
I was just thinking the other day just how uninspiring is to buy clothes these days cause it's not only that everything is driven by a singular trend, which makes it boring, it's also the fact that almost every piece of fast fashion is made of polyester or acrylics, which sucks! I have definitely become more conscious about the way I buy things, I have stopped myself from buying stuff I know I won't use as much or that I don't really need cause even tho I don't sew (yet) I convince myself that I could do it, and that in a way helps me seeing it from a different perspective. I'm glad people are taking a turn towards the direction of more sustainable choices! That is always fantastic to see, rebelling against the capitalistic monster that is fast fashion!
Fun, thoughful presentation, Midge. Thank you!❤
Hi Midge! I was just thinking about what spooky shenanigans you may be up to the other day 😅 glad to see you back Ghoulie!
I'm looking forward to "trends" reverting back to just what makes us happy, whatever that may be 😊
Love the vid. Welcome to 2025 👋🏻 do you think it’s “stealing” the art of Barnes and Noble’s heart bag? Excited to see what happens this fall ☺️
No I don’t think it’s stealing because those folks weren’t making those items to sell, they were making their own version of something they wanted that was otherwise sold out from stores! If they were making them to sell I would say that wouldn’t be ethical, but if you’re just making something for yourself I think it’s fine.
Also B&N made 1.57B dollars last year so I think they’re ok 🤣
I’ve been waiting for a new vid 🥳
I was also thinking vampires are definitely making a resurgence this year!! ❤
I love these predictions! The clown outfits scare me because I have a severe fear of clowns, but I hope those folks are having a blast in their outfits! Also, YEEEEEEES!!!!!!! Subcultures! Are!! Cultures!!!!
Face your fears/ watch BOZO the clown videos
Hi queen!
"Birds." Midge, 2025
Happy new year, ghoul!
When my favorite horror franchise-Terrifier-often regarded as the goriest among the goriest even in horror circles-had the number one movie in America for a bit there…I was like “oh wow…people are changing.” lol!
Exactly 👍
So now I am fashionable. And my home is now very on trend.
Your intro is fa-BOO-lous!!👻
This was a fun video
because of the political climate major retailers may push spooky season goods even sooner than years prior in anticipation of folks shopping less due to tariff and tax increases. Already seeing this with the extra spooky push for valentines themed items from other major retailers.
I would say the rise of William Morris designs popularity support your predictions.
I agree that clown style will be big this year. Life is just so absurd and if we don't laugh we will cry, so let's just be clowns! It really stinks that your husband has had to deal with a detached retina. My Mom has had that happen several times and it is awful! Sending you healing energy!
I love watching thrifting and diy videos.
It would be nice to see the more classic vampire look...I think vampires have taken a while to recover from the whole sparkly vampire trend... 🤪
I have always loved Dark Victorian...I would like to see it around more...but then sometimes mainstream can overkill and ruin somethings. Same with Steampunk for me...
Yeah I got the Cracker Barrel witch but I sometimes think is this something I’ll use forever or did I just buy it because it’s trendy?
I think the general Halloween hype may have hit its peak like last year or this year and will calm down in the future, but we’ll see
🤘
