'Ello, and Welcome!

'Ello there, and welcome to my blog!

Now, I have tried many a time to start a blog, and all of my attempts ended in my becoming extremely bored, or partaking in various procrastinatory activities so as to put off updating. So yeah... I'm what you might call a 'hopeless blogger'. But, I'm going to change all that, because I am determined to start a blog and keep it up and running!

So, it's likely that you're wondering what the purpose of this blog is. Basically, I have a deep unparallelled love for the Goth subculture, and I want nothing more to be a member of the Goth scene, and I'm going to use this blog to get in touch with other Goths! However, there are some basic issues with the whole process of 'Gothing up', as it were.

• I'm 13, living with my parents, therefore they still have quite a bit of control over what clothes I can buy, meaning no to the following: Corsets, fishnet/ripped tights, and pointy studded things. Which is a damn shame, considering how much I adore corsets... But never mind. I'll be able to wear a corset one day. Fishnet tights, on the other hand, will probably never happen for me. (My parents have the impression that people will 'get the wrong idea about me' if I wear fishnets. Which I can almost understand. Almost.)
• Goth clothing is expensive, and I know that every Goth out there knows that all too well. Which is an even bigger issue, because the money I spend on clothes comes from my parents, who aren't too fond of spending lots of money on clothes for me...
• There is absolutely no Goth scene in this town. No events, clothing stores, nothing at all. The nearest Goth events are a 5-hour car journey away. I'm sorry, but no.

Those are all the main issues I can think of. It's clear that the main issues lie with the fashion side of Gothdom, as Goth music is pretty easy for me to find and expand on, thanks to the excessive amount of time I spend on the internet.

Regardless of the problems I shall have to overcome, I am going to try my hardest to make do with what I have, so I can make the Goth subculture a much bigger part of my life!

This photo was taken a while ago, so my hair is way shorter than in this picture, but yeah.
Please excuse the derpy face and obvious Trekkie-ness.

Looking at me in the picture above, I have to wonder how I can turn someone that looks like that, into a mistress of the night. Luckily for me, it might not be entirely difficult. I was fortunate enough to be blessed with pale skin (But goddamnit do I hate my rosy cheeks), and I have discovered that I suit black very nicely.

There is one thing that irks me very much. My hair. I refuse point blank to touch my hair with dye that doesn't come out in a wash or two. Aka, I am never dying my hair. Which presents the problem - How can I style my hair to make it look lovely and Gothic, without dying it? I fail to see the answer, because I am stupid. Any suggestions?

But alas (Oh, how very poetic. /sarcasm everywhere), I shall try my best and hope for the outcome to be a good one!

Much love,
