Talking How do you dress up like a true blue gothic girl?

I am new to the gothic community. And i am very interested in how other peoples' gothic dress sense. Please enlighten us. Through make up, dress, silver accessories,jewelry, etc.. Thanks!

My Childe,

First welcome; :: Evil Grin :: We have such sights to show you...
Second: You choose what your style is. It could be Victorian Steampunk, Bondage,Punk, or Post apocalyptic. Or any thing in between. The choice is yours. The whole idea of the movement is about expressing who you really are and finding the wonderful In things darkly. In my time; which stretches back a long way. I have been a Goth, since I was young and now am well... An Elder I guess. I have seen Goths that have toned it down to have real lives and those that never stopped with eccentricity. Truth is Baby Bat, life is short, so be whom you are. But try to come original if you can.

Try these links they are a great resource for some one looking for a look.

If anyone can do it "The LADY OF THE MANNERS", CAN. She is a sort of dear Abby for the dark at heart. Check out her on Youtube too. if not informative she is entertaining.

be sure to check her Klicky links for info. she is progressive as hell! Love that lady.

But remember only you know who and what you really are. You are your own work of art. becoming a Goth is a realization about life. not a Fad. And each of us has evolved within and without during or experience. I think I speak for the rest of us when i say that" We just can't wait to see your whom you will become."

That should be a good starting point. Have fun! Happy Halloween, and see you in the mists.

Wear what ever the fuck you want to kiddo!
Goth is about what is on the inside.

I appreciate the advise from the Lady Of Manners as well.

Go to clubs, look inside CD or record covers, watch videos by your favorite Goth bands on You Tube- draw the inspiration from what you see on all that.

Don't think that you have to go 'all out' to be Goth, or that you must shop at a specialty alternative clothing store to look good. There is much power in proper accessorizing!

Really, wear what you like and feel confident in. If you encounter another Goth who doesn't like it if you're dressed a certain way then you probably wouldn't want them as a close influence anyway.

Best wishes!

Um...Oktober goth isn't a movement, it is a musical genre and the subculture surrounding that music. Sure there are some associated fashions but they are by no means exclusive or a necessary part of the goth subculture and there may be some mindsets that are commonly shared among the subculture but again they are neither shared by all or exclusive to those in the subculture.

Did you ever make an intro? Knowing some basics about you might help us help you better, if we choose to do so. Until I know more about where you're coming from I really can't offer any more advise than what I have already. Embrace the DIY as much as you can. And remember that Goth is not only about music and dress but about a deeper culture. Immerse yourself in the Goth lifestyle as much as you can and if it's meant to bloom in you it will.

Honestly that part of the subculture died decades ago, the music and some of the fashion is all that is left. There is no mindset and there is no lifestyle.

jack your earlier comment was funny this one is simply not true. You mean to tell me that there is nothing ornately goth with bondage? no similarities in fashion, music, macabre stories (granted they are more sexual) and a general dark intent? have you been laid by a goth girl? very painfull and pleasurable.
sodomy is sononamouse with gay ie rainbows kittens and a sunny medow not goth you picking up on this yet? o

Oh, fuck off, the punks started wearing bondage pants for the shock value early on, and they were mostly not involved with any kind of bdsm culture. You're implying that the two are interchangable and that's just assinine.

Darling,

No, just no. Sodomy is practiced by Homosexual and Heterosexual people depending on taste, some Homosexuals don't practice sodomy. You're stereotyping, outragiously.

BDSM is practiced by people across all subcultures and ages. Practicing BDSM doesn't make someone Goth and being Goth doesn't instantly mean that you love BDSM.
Obviously, you haven't been laid by enough Goth girls to know it's a stupid assumption.

There is a difference, mainly that BDSM is just an umbrella term for various sexual practices and Goth is a term for a genre of music/fashion. The reason they seem similiar is the whole "dark" aspect but then that would make a whole number of things Goth, for example genres of music like all the various metal genres.

honestly was generalizing but not that much. to reiterate in slightly more detail and do away with generalizations ... NO bondage scene and goth scene are not interchangeable, Yes the darker nature of the tween attract members of the other, NO this is not a Set in stone rule, in response to solumnias comment i was offering an alternative to the dead goth lifestlye and offering a surogate. granted i should have addressed that to jacks but its late i have not eaten and my mind wanders. that as well as i thought his analogy was erroneous. forgive me all whom were offended by this gross oversight, and we here at RAZcorp (tm) will do our best to ensure the clarity and quality you've come to enjoy for the past 3 dayes will continue -.- i'll be watching

Exactly. Although some people partake in both subcultures, it still doesn't mean that there is any correlation between the two of them.

so many may dress" Gothic" and wear all the shit that goes with it just to fit somewhere.
I don't think clothes and all the rest are what make you a Goth.
