Vampira Social Distancing – Funny Gothic Horror Tote Bag

Long before social distancing became part of everyday vocabulary, someone had already figured out that sometimes keeping people at a safe distance was simply the better option. Vampira.

Social Distancing… Before It Was Cool

Vampira never needed instructions on keeping her distance  the gothic lifestyle had apparently solved that problem decades earlier. With her dramatic black dress, striking appearance and dark sense of humour, Vampira became one of the most recognizable figures in gothic and horror pop culture. And it's difficult to imagine a more appropriate character for the slogan: “Social Distancing Before It Was Cool.”

Vampira – The Original Horror Hostess

Created by Maila Nurmi, Vampira became famous through The Vampira Show during the 1950s. Her dramatic appearance, impossibly narrow waist, black dress and theatrical macabre personality created an image that would influence gothic aesthetics and horror culture for decades.

Her appearances and connection with the world of cult and B-movies also helped establish Vampira as a true icon of retro horror culture.
