It had to happen, and I can´t say I´m really surprised. It has happened to
some smaller extend earlier, but it seems it´s here with full force this
autumn. And although I observe the phenomena from "way off in Europe" (as
you can notice from a couple of mis-spellings) I’m quite sure it is taking
place in America, too.
Guys and gals: We are fashionable! At least according to “anyone who knows
anything about fashion”...
Where I live, I can hardly open a newspaper or a magazine without reading
about how trendy goff suddenly is. Of course the media fucks up as usual,
they even credit "us" for Satyricon (black metal) topping the charts. And
the girl who makes our best selling cartoon, Nemi, (about a cynical kickass
gothchick) was voted third most sexy woman in the country. (She looks like
a cross between Sindel and the dark girl in Dawsons Creek...
http://www.dagbladet.no/magasinet/2002/07/30/344627.html)
Fer crying out loud, I was even invited to talk about goff on a _childrens
show_ on our national tv-station.
I am a bit confused by all this. Part of me reacts really childish,
thinking Hey get away from My Stuff you bleedin Mansonsniffin fakies...
And get yourself a Bauhaus album!
Then I start looking at the pictures from the various catwalks – Gucci and
whatnot, and maaan, some of that shit looks really great. (Where is the
Platinum AmEx when I need it!) Maybe it’s not so bad, having the streets
filled with really cool looking people. I mean, as long as I don’t expect
them to have something other than the look in common with me. Which I am
rather used to already, I can’t say I have that much in common with many of
the people who frequents the goth club here as it is.
And not to mention, when the hype is over, we can indulge in the sales
racks!
The most redeeming feature of the trend, however, is that maybe one or two
find their way to the real goth, whatever that may be. I applaud every
soul who turns to a more sensible (read: my) view on life.
This link has not only some stunning fashion pics, but an amazingly good
background photo series on the trend, too: http://www.style.com/trends/trend_report/071502/index.html<

Well I don't know why I would have one, as I never swim, but there have
been OCCASIONS that I would have liked to, but as you so eloquently stated,
kat, ITS FECKING IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A BLACK ONE PIECE!!
I don't like wearing shorts when I'm swimming, and I don't like wearing t
shirts either, so I can't use your idea burn. I don't even know how this
came up, it just struck me how irritating it was that there is just about
every variety, style, color, and pattern of swim suits out there, but a
basic black one piece swimsuit DOES NOT EXIST.
I do believe that this is why I stopped swimming a long time ago. Hm.
Beh, anyways, back to fashion. I bought killer calvin klein jeans the
other day, and they make my ass look rad. I also cleaned out my closet and
got rid of a shitload of clothes, so NOW I have to shop and fill it back
up!!
No more impulse buying, and no more shopping while I'm drunk (yes I've done
that, and it's like being your own secret santa with really bad taste). No
more shopping for "the future" ie: By my calculations I should be a size 3
in two months, so if I buy this now I'll be prepared....(yeah right) and
ONLY clothes that fit, that I can wear with everything, and that make me
look mean...er..good...I mean...you know..mean. RAWR!

Oh lordy *eep* that is not a pleasant image to take to sleepytime....
Gotta give them props for being that comfortable with their bodies...hell
even if I was a stick figure I'd NEVER be comfortable in public in my
skivies! Hell I dont' even like to wear a SWIMSUIT! *EEP*
And do you KNOW how friggin DIFFICULT it is to find a PLAIN ONE PIECE BLACK
SWIMSUIT that DOES NOT look like it's meant for old ladies?! Sheesh! ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Hey, this reminds me of something my friend Janina told me!
She went to the M'era Luna festival in Germany a couple of yers ago (Fields
of The Nephilim etc) which was GREAT, but the weather was incredibly hot
that summer.
So one of the days this guy figure out it's time to sport his PVC
g-string, and struts around in nothing but them and boots. Now,
considering it was incredibly hot, AND he apperantly was quite a looker,
with some neat body art and all, it wasn't all that bad.
The problem was next day, which was just as hot.
And a gah-zillion milky white & sunburned-to-toamto-red pudgy
sausage-and-beer-fed Germen goths followed his example...
Poor Janina almost had to poke out her eyes. ____________________ All stressed out and no one to choke...

When I was dancing, we called them T-bars... and they covered all the
important bits. They get more comfortable the longer you wear them, but I
can't wear them anymore without thinking of them as a work uniform... ____________________

I must be really old or something...cuz once upon a time the G-string was
the predecessor of the Thong...and mainly male strippers wore them...okay
now I'm starting to wonder if I'm confusing myself somehow...maybe
G-strings were more substantial than thongs..*shrugs*...I think thongs
should only be worn when they are to be removed within fifteen
minutes...any more than that makes my butt itch ____________________ "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've

Well seeming how we all know where said thongs have BEEN....*yack* Dodging
them is out of the question. But flinging nice new clean ones can be fun,
as they're mostly a patch of fabric on a continuous band of elastic...even
the "less revealing" thongs leave little to the imagination, and are mostly
elastic. I've had some pretty good distances out of those suckers. I
shoot them at the ceiling at work when we're closed. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Ah fashion, it has to piss everybody off eventually. Its just ironic that
goths get pissed off when fashion finally sides with them. |

Callei, it is my one joy in life to watch people trip on their own pants!
But the guys I work with always have their pants (they all wear somewhat
baggy jeans) hanging low, so I constatly see the underpants of the ones
that WEAR underwear, and the buttcracks of those that DON'T. On short
guys, to me, it looks alright (when I don't have to see their buttcracks)
but on tall guys...I dunno, from my perspective it makes 'em look sloppy.
Bad sloppy. *I* like it when my nice tall michael wears TIGHT pants *lol*
STRUT STRUTTIN IN THOSE TIGHT PANTS IN THOSE TIGHT PANTS!!!
But then again he has an ass that just won't quit, so I'm biased ;P
And I too am grubbing my greedy little sale nabbing hands at the upcoming
clearance sales on all that tasty black stuff *muahahhaha* Especially the
Bon Marche. I get michael all his stuff off the sale racks there, because
the general public has no fashion sense and all the nice black sexy man
sweaters ALWAYS end up at over half off. I swear it's like having my own
barbie doll. Dress up and prance for me boy!!
As for thongs, you couldnt' pay me enough to get into one of those things.
Panty lines be DAMNED. I search for underwear that will NOT give me a
wedgie, so why on earth would I BUY a pair that is BUILT *AS* a wedgie?!
*eep* Some girls say that they're comfy. They can have them all, as I
won't be needing them.
And one horrible thing I"ve seen lately....net sarongs. Yarn knit net
sarongs with fringe...over really tight horrible style jeans. I swear to
HELL this one girl came in and I wanted to call marine rescue, because her
jeans were so tight, and her sarong was SO MUCH TIGHTER that she looked
like she'd been netted. I don't mind SOME of them, and on SOME people who
KNOW how to use them it looks good...but it's those that don't have a clue
that make me wanna run up and scream "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY?! WHY?!" ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Never thought about the front...
I remember one time on MTV during the spring break model show thingy, they
had eminem playing. The funny part was, that his pants wouldn't stay up.
They kept falling down due to their bagyness. If he didn't stand bowlegged
or hold on to them, they fell instantly, it was the funniest thing I had
ever saw. ____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.

Wait a minute, back to this thong thing. I though the whole idea of the
thong was so you couldn't see it. Did this girl have absolutely no ass. I
understand she was 13, but still, even a little ass can hide a thong. ____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.
