"You only dress that way for attention."

[Ndoki]

Personally I'm the only goth I know that wears more color than black. I'd say that's far more original than always going around with a trenchcoat and head to toe in black don't you think?  

[[-Kanna-]]

No one has ever said that to me,and it's not really true.I dress like that because i'm comfortable with dark clothes and i just think that i look good with dark make up etc.

I don't dress in goth clothes, not yet anyways. but don't wanna dress it right now because it will draw in unneeded attention.

Definately. However, black is still a color mainly used in most goth clothing. I sort of have a reputation for only wearing black and white (Of course there are days when I break my reputation). Never just blck, and never just white. It's definately more interesting to see people in more colors, but when I try wearing something colorful, I just don't feel right.

People need to stop focusing on the color so much. I try to get people to focus on the prints on the fabric and the general look of the article. Bright colors sort of take away from that. And even though I hardly ever wear color, I have the respect from most of the female population of my grade because of my clothes.

In regards to my eyeliner, my art teacher asked me if I had been stabbed by two permenent markers. Cute. xp Actually it is kind of funny. The first time I went all-out (I usually don't dress gothic at school, you understand) with clothing he laughed and said, "Oh look at you wearing all black!"

So I simply love the clothing and the way it looks on people (including myself). Contrary to popular belief, it makes me happy to dress like I am unhappy (according to stereotypes in any case).

My friend Susan is with me on this. Huzzah.

I'm planning to start fresh in all senses of the phrase when I go to my new school. I can see it now...gothic Sarah, boyfriend today and girlfriend tomorrow. mrgreen

I have/had a French teacher who CONSTANTLY said this to me. No matter how I tried to explain to her that that wasn't the case, she would ignore it and convince herself that she knew what she was talking about. She was relentless.


Does it bother you when people say that?
Why do you dress the way you do?

Are you sure we don't have the same French teacher? Because that's what she always told me. Good thing I've graduated.

Alas, though, I am in Texas, and you are not. Unless she owns a jet that I'm unaware of, they're not the same person.

Perhaps it's a common trait amongst French teachers....or teachers period.

I get that s**t all the time from my family and a few friends...it really pisses me off stare

Yeah I hate it when teachers dont like the way I dress and stuff. Last year I was at school hanging out with some friends when a teacher commented that we looked like we were going to a funeral and that we should stop wearing so much black. But its ok because I also had a science teacher who loved the style. She said she even liked hot topic even though she wouldnt ever wear clothes from there herself.

Little Miss Lunacy, I guess what I was trying to get at is I don't think clothes should matter at all. Goth to me is a personality trait.  

[Teh Rainbow Socked Ninjas]

Pretty much, I wear main black and some kind of graphic on there is some rainbow or something.

That'd be cool.

A top that say, 'I'm not goth. See? I'm a rainbow goth.'

That'd be supafly.

I just came up with a great new idea for a t-shirt.

"Real mean wear goth."

Woo! perpetuate the stereotype! rofl

That reminds me... People ALWAYS say, "HOMG, What happened to your eyes/hair?!?"

So, if I have colorful and abundant eyeliner, I say, "I got in a fight with a crayon..."

And if they comment on my partially black and white hair, I say, "I burned it."

What's sad is, people believe the second one. sad  

[MortSanglant]

My dad used to joke about it with me. I was pretty sure that he sometimes honestly believed that's why I dress the way I do. But I know for the most part he just likes to get me riled up. He's the only one who can do it really well.

But I can honestly say I've never dressed in a certain way to get attention. I've always just worn what I've felt was comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to me.

I was told that once before. I would have disagreed, but i was in a clown suit making balloon animals, and i did not think i could be convincing.
