Career

Wednesday Mourning was born in San Antonio, Texas circa 1978. Her chosen name Wednesday is based on a Victorian nursery rhyme Monday's Child. The surname of Mourning was added later.[15] By the age of fourteen, Mourning was inspired by a scene in the film The Hunger when the gothic music group Bauhaus appeared on stage.[16] She began her career in modeling at the age of seventeen while working at a club where she was asked to be on the club’s flyer.[17] After moving to Hollywood, Mourning worked as both an actress (appearing in Star Trek, 2009) and model; becoming a regular for Lip Service, A Raven Above Press, and working various runway shows including Ventura Fashion Week (2008), Hello Kitty Fashion Show (2009), and Visions" SXSW (2010).[18]

Since 2008, Mourning has appeared in a variety of print media including books Gothic: Dark Glamour by Valerie Steel, Black Magic, White Noise by R. Klanten, and Eternal by VK Forest. Mourning is also listed under the term 'Wednesday' in the Encyclopedia Gothica (2011) by Liisa Ladouceur and Gary Pullin.[19]

On October 31, 2013, Mourning was alongside Audra Kunkle on ABC Network's The View to talk about all things Halloween and to promote their show Oddities: San Francisco.[20]

In December 2016, Mourning announced on her social media she will be hosting a web series called Wednesday's Wonderium. The series is being created by Dave Haaz-Baroque with the Shadow Circus Creature Theatre, and as Mourning states will "have puppets, animation, and weirdness."[21]
