Personal Style Icon: Lankas and Witch Babies

What is a Lanka or Witch Baby, you may ask? (UGH YOU'RE SO UNCOOL HOW CAN YOU BE READING THIS?? JK I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND YOU ARE ACTUALLY WAY TOO COOL)

According to one of the best books ever, Weetzie Bat, a Lanka is a "beautiful woman with long black hair, purple, tilty eyes, and a long body." (MILD SPOILER IF YOU'RE READING WEETZIE: The Lanka eventually has a baby, which is known as Witch Baby, and looks just like her. ISN'T THAT THE GREATEST NAME EVER?)

When I read that, I was like "YES, THIS IS RAD, THANK U 5EVER WEETZIE!!", because I've always wondered what to call the ~magical~ Lanka look, which is basically witchiness and lots of black and red and lipstick and eyeliner and babeliness.
Lankas (in my mind) are pretty much real badass babes who wear shredded, hanging sleeves, and look spooky and so, so, so rad, while also being * GLAMOROUS* and GAWGOUS.
Here are a few of my most favoritest Lanka/Witch Baby gals HERE TO INSPIRE YOU TO WEAR BLACK EVERY DAY, EVER:
