Don't go outdoors, as looking at your pasty white face in direct sunlight will cause instant blindness.
Y'know, I didn't think it was possible. But in one post (Yep, thats right you partially blind people, one post) you managed to take away the entire meaning of the whole gothic lifestyle in the first place.
Seriously, Luby...don't have kids.
What do you mean?
I think he means 'gothic' isn't supposed to be a look you just 'go' for. It should come natural, and you shouldn't acquire it, because you have an incline into that way of life, just because it's cool.
People are either properly, traditionally gothic with all the ornate and intricate detail leaning toward nosterfartu - I know I spelled that wrong - kind of way. But then again, that's quite presumptous. I know it's got a lot to do with a darker way of life toward the Victorian/medival times.
Ach, I dunno. It's hard to articulate.
There you are..close that thread over in Anything Goes, eh?
Sorry
yes, i know what you mean but right now i'm having an identity crisis, and i feel like i look really crappy. so i just wanted some advice, as i'm sat here in my PJs cos everything i put on looks crappy.
Just try different looks, and try not to have all these ponces hear/read about it, cause they'll dictate you no means
You can go into TopShop, and book an appointment with a style advisor for free, and you don't need to buy anything
Hope this helps.

theres a top shop in marbella i wonder if you can do that there, but top shop, to me says tiny sizes, and mainly very skimpy things. i wish there were some good gothic shops round here, but the there arn't many spanish "sinestros", they are mainly german, english, or dutch.
arghghhgghgghgh
You;d be surprised what looks you could get from the high street these days
I will advise against the over usage of black eyeliner. And the applying of black lipstick. If you want to be a 'goth' DON'T wear black lipstick. Personally, I think it mings, and mings on ANYONE... it doesn't do anyone justice, so don't do it
Oh, and don't dye your hair permanent black... brown roots with black ends looks incredibly hideous.... If you want to dye hair black, go for a semi permanent natural dark brown or ebony. It won't be pitch black, but it will guard against unsightly roots...

Ever seen black hair with ginger roots? :eek:
I agree with the root thing; when I wanted to dye my hair black and red the hairdresser advised me to go for very dark brown instead. You can't tell the difference, but it's a lot less harsh, and easier to get rid of if you change your mind.
yeah that's the worst!
love you <33
she doesnt know any better and with you lot doing your 'more hadcore than thou' act she never will.
slight conjouling is whats needed.
personally, i dont really understand the desire to wear trench coats in summer, nor break my neck in 8 inch heels, but if thats what floats your boat then hey, whatever.
try and work with your natural complexion though, layering on the foundation etc will just clog your pores and give you bad skin. suntan lotion is what's needed. having irish skin im never far from the factor 45 and i stay milk bottle white so ya know...
