Does anyone else miss the 90’s-2006? Ish Goth area? It was so simple! Tripp pants were part of the uniform and hottopic wasn’t mainstream and actually for the darkly inclined. Where diy was part of the culture cause we were kids and hottopic, lip service, tripp nyc was expensive af! You weren’t judged on how polished your look was but how many safety pins you could fit on it! Or on how many holes you could put in your fishnet before they fell apart. When being goth was about the music and the look came after and being the goth girl wasn’t a trend! When if you wore anything with a skull on it once to school you were labeled as “the goth kid” till you graduated. Yeah… those were the good days.
“My downfall: those pink articulate lips, divinely flavoured portals to a mouth where soul dissolves…eyes darting beneath black brows, snares for the heart, and the milk-white breasts, well shaped, the twin rosebuds, fair beyond other flowers.”
— Dioskorides, tr. by Peter Whigham, from The Greek Anthology; “Epigrams,”
