I'm on a post rampage, so forgive me if I seem to be posting more than usual.
Things have gone fairly well lately, though I regret to say that for the Halloween costume photo I have gotten completely stumped on. I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!
I was going to be a non sparkling vampire, but I don't have any costume materials...so hm. I think this year I'm going to have a very original costume...(Probably simple too)
Anyhow.
I'm also bouncing around in a flurry of excitement and panic, as down in Freo today I found a Medieval dress shop! Of course I forced mom in there and they had such amazing clothes I was ready to fall over.
As it turns out, I now have purchased a red and maroon dress with a bit of gold lacing at the front and back. Not as dark as I'd like...but it's so beautiful and fits me like a charm. Unfortunately said dress is being paid on laybuy...it'll be a month before I can pay it off and finally be able to get it.
Even though the dresses are expensive (Handmade) and selling fast, they have attracted both mom and I, and it seems that I may also be aquiring a second black dress, while mom is interested in one of light blue.
Romantic Goth, here I come....eventually. (After a month of working constantly....egh)
NOW on to the main post.
-------------------
I was browsing various Goth sites on facebook, and I seemed to have stumbled on an elitist club...a page dedicated to 'TRAD GOTH and cyber/raver/synthpop and all things modern' hatred.
It was...amusing, to see their 'oh so horrified' comments when someone said they liked the Cruxshadows.
On another fbook page they recommended this Ehow page...which was so crazy it was sincerely laughable.
(By the way, before I found the Ultimate Goth Guide, pages like Ehow were what I thought were 'Legit Goth' eheheheheee...)
How to Know if one is a True Goth - A post from Ehow.
1: Look for color. True Goths bathe themselves in black clothing and nothing else. They may possess their own unique style, but it won't include any colors of the rainbow. They also enjoy indulging in medieval-inspired clothing, such as corsets, fishnet stockings and bondage attire.
(OMG I've been wearing color lately, I'm so obviously not a Goth after all! :D)
2: Check the make-up. A true Goth always wears make-up, including black eyeliner and black lipstick. They may also use white powder to give a pale appearance. Their hair is dyed black to coordinate with their clothing, although a few extraneous dark purple streaks in the hair are deemed acceptable.
(OH NO, I forgot to wear tonnes of makeup and dye my hair black this week, I'm a POSER!...LMFAO...this is seriously more like 'Spot the mallgoth'.)
3: Identify their art form. A true Goth is an artist and performs an art of some sort. True Goths are writers, musicians, folklorists, sculptors and painters. They rely on deep introspection to arouse their creativity.
(Ok, this was one of the smarter points...this could be taken as a serious thought...)
4: Quiz them on lyrics. A true Goth knows every word to every Cure song. This step weeds out the Goth posers each and every time.
(Obviously an elitist wrote this part. Hmph, I may have a good memory but that's just impossible!)
5: Ask them if they are Goth. A true Goth never labels themselves as being Goth. In fact, true Goths never label themselves at all. Only Goth posers make such ridiculous assertions.
(Uh....to a certain extent that's true, but honestly, aren't you going a bit far there? If you're being questioned you might as well tell the truth.)

Heh. Foolish pointers indeed, but this one that was fortunately edited out of Wikihow a few minutes ago is positively Mallgothtastic.

A removed excerpe from Wikihow's 'Get to know Goth Music'
1: Listen to real Goth bands, stuff like Cradle of Filth, Nightwish, and make SURE you listen to the Goth god Marilyn Manson. If you tell other Goths you listen to him you'll earn their respect fast.
(Whahahahahah....hahhahahhahaah Oh lordie. This was silly indeed. I am just glad this was edited out so that poor babybats wouldn't make themselves into fully fledged mallgoths.)
Anyhow, here's the end of this post,
Farewell!
