I'm helping a friend set up in business as a florist. It occurred to me that most florists are very similar... all sweetness and light.
Petallica is a floristry chain catering to the Heavy Metal, Goth and Anarchist segments of the market. Rose stems, dried and painted black; thorny branches; crowns
of thorns; nettles; arrangements decorated with chains, etc.
The range of products available is not for everyone, but for a specific market.

... presumably managed by Axl Rose? |

My son's fairy godmother is/was a goth. She carried a huge bunch of black tulips at her wedding which my good lady spent much time and money aquiring. This shop would have helped. |

I think queen_of_skeme is simply a deviant and florist who dresses in Goth gear, [angel]. |

We even do poetry on demand, for a fee: |

[chorus]
O, my luve's like a dead, dead rose
That was dried and hung in June
O, my luve's like the melodie
That's "metal" play'd in tune |
|
| |
As Goth are you, my bonnie lass
So deep in luve am I
And I will luve you still, my Dear
Till your body's hard and dry |
|
| |
Till your body's hard and dry, my Dear
And turn my music to eleven!
O I will luve you still, my Dear
Who wants to go to fuckin' heaven? |

[UB] Followed by the poem 'If I Were The Prince Of Darkness' |

Are you referring to the dodgy polemic supposedly written by Paul Harvey? Ah, I see your link. There is a rebuttal of the original work, also possibly written by the same sensationalist publicity hog. |
|
| |
"till your body's hard and dry" I laughed out loud, thanks UB. |
|
| |
have you heard the word "lurve", I think it means obsession? |
|
| |
Yes, I've heard the term. I kept to Robert Burns's original spelling as much as I thought reasonable. |
