There's a Goth couple where I used to live who had had a baby before I left. I was working in a shop and saw them come in with their little girl, her in a black onesie with little skulls on it, them in their black regalia, lots of spikes and chains. The woman at the front of the queue said, "Honestly! How could they impose that- lifestyle- onto their poor child? It'll grow up so confused." They heard her, and they looked so sad. I felt terrible for them. It was a black onesie. Don't all babies wear onesies or playsuits? I forgot to scan a couple of things of theirs, but the baby question reminded me of how sad and sick I felt at such ignorance. If you have a baby, he or she will be the cutest little bat princess/prince.
+Xys Hunt Doesn't everyone 'impose' something on their babies they might not want when they grow older, since they can't dress themselves? I was dressed in typical pink and 'girly' stuff, but now I make my own decisions and have been dressing in a Goth style since I was ten (I'm eighteen). Honestly, you did better than me in that situation 'cause I would've said something to that woman! xD It's not her child, so it's not her business.
I only seen baby pictures of me at Christmas, but before I moved from my parent's house, I had only wear stuff from Goodwill. My sisters got to shop for themselves, which was usually goth stuff, especially my oldest. After I moved into my aunt's house, she doesn't let me have goth stuff, but I did find some other clothes cute too, but my taste had always been goth. Unfortunately the rest of the family is against it. Love them always.
I've said this a thousand god damned times throughout my life: If you're not hurting anyone, *who gives a fuck* ? Especially when it comes to a baby in a skull onesie?? Babies don't know shit. They don't even have a concept of object permanence, let alone fashion opinions. Nothing pisses me off more than people so obsessed with attacking normal people with feelings and defending things that don't give a shit in the first place.
‘Impose that lifestyle’ is much more relevant to forcing girls to wear pink to start enforcing gender stereotypes on them. I feel bad for the couple too and am mentally flipping that old woman off for all involved.🖤🖤🖤
My parents are Goths and I was dressed in like red and black until I was a bit older. My Dad refused to dress me in pink. I don't think I wore pink until about maybe 5 or 6 when I started choosing my own clothes a bit more. And for a long time I was pretty girly but around 14 it went full circle and now I've followed my parents footsteps.
My mom hates that I'm GOTH! She think I worship the devil and shit like lmao! she also told me I can't be goth because I'm BLACK....I told her I'm already black so why not camouflage XD!
There's a popular T-shirt slogan that reads: "So goth, I was born black." If there are enough black goths to support a T-shirt market, they must not be all that uncommon. I would love to meet a cute black goth chick. I wouldn't care whether she had big tiddies or not. Yeah, I'm gonna shut up now. :D
I completely agree about being able to wear whatever you want. I am not goth, but truly love the style and appreciate the darker aesthetic. One day I want pink flowers and creamy lace. The next day I'll want to play with a style very similar to yours. It is your body and your life. Wear what makes you feel good and to hell with anybody who dislikes it.
I love the red lipstick on you. I think it contrasts so well with the black and white makeup and I think it looks amazing with the red contacts as well. it looks so great on you
+icon for hire i love you guys no its actually a Latin phrase meaning "remember death" like to be aware of your mortality. kinda like carpe diem. really famous phrase with an interesting history
My mother was goth and dressed almost like you when she was younger, but after she had her first kid she stopped because my father is more hiphop/rap/r&b person. I wonder if me and my siblings would've been a hybrid of goth and hiphop, would look like.
Cheyenne Like Wyoming I never get asked, but one girl in my class once called me "the girl who pretends to be gothic" and I was laughing so hard because I don't even consider myself goth ^^ I'm more into visual kei, and with visual kei I can live and dress however I like, but with that I'm no goth even if I might look like one some days - and not everyone who wears black is a goth ...
when i had kids (they r now 13 & 15) i was so disappointed at the lack of black clothing at all available for babies thru to preschoolers. if i could sew & had the time i wouldve made them myself but its a busy time when kids come along! lol
It would be so ironic if you ever had a child, and they turned out preppy or something along those lines XD Anjelica Huston's Morticia... yas. SO. MUCH. YAS.
+It's Black Friday the way Reeree Phillips described how her mom raised her, and then noticing how Dani Filth and his wife raised Luna, kind of makes me think that it is them rebelling. Rebelling against rebels lol
+It's Black Friday hey it's Black Friday o was wondering what you thought of Amanda Palmer? She also was part of Evelyn Evelyn a set of characters she had who wear conjoined twin ( they also did a much better love will tear us apart cover because I know you don't like JD ) she not goth mote punk campray music is her discrimination of it she was also a living staunch known as the 8ft bride
Must admit, i have been goth since i was 12, i am now 42, but i always want my daughter to choose her own likes and paths in life, this goes for religion and even her name, i believe letting your own child choose not force your own opinion on them before they can talk... And my daughter has turned out a intelligent, beautiful young lady, not goth and i love her for who she is, not what she looks like or how she is dressed, And I have admired her choices in life without my influence of my beliefs drummed into her tiny brain before she even has a choice. Just my opinion..🖤
Amen sister I tell my kids to dress the way they want to as long as it's not to revealing Or something that would hurt someone's feelings. I teach them that Being kind to people have being a good person or what really matters and play with your fashion! That's what can take you out of your head and it's crazy world and end or something Fun
sooo .. I paused your video at 3:57 because i'm watching this with my 3 year old daughter and i asked her if she thought you were beautiful and she said yes ❤ she likes your lipstick and your eyes .
my friend found out I watched your videos a few days ago, she laughed at me and said am I some kind of edgy emo, no I'm not, I've never been interested in any kind of goth fashion ect ect but I still have respect for everybody, and you are such a nice and 'general' person it's hard for anyone to just limit you down to naive insults! I love you videos and I love you as a person! keep up the great work
my mother always tried to dress me in old people clothes my entire life. I'm 36 and she still pulls that crap. I once wore goth shorts or a top with a skull and everyone in my family said "we thought you grew out of this phase" or "don't you think skulls are for teenagers not grown ups?" well before I was 18 I had to were what she choose for me. my aunt was awesome she actually thought the fairy hoodie I got from hot topic for my 24th birthday was wonderful and she bought it for me. my mother's response "oh that's odd your aunt picked this?" "that's strange" all whall wrinkling her nose up all snooty like. my aunt's daughter was pretty much a cookie cutter of my mother and dressed like a 50year old woman when she was 10 till this day. my aunt was the only sweet understand open-minded decent human being out of whole lot. she is to this day the only one to ever care and be cool about my clothing choices. I miss her so much.
Do you think it's okay to mix up fashion styles? For example, I like clothes as long as they are comfortable and my clothes can go from gothic one day to a more preppy style the next and a lot of people I know say that I'm just 'posing' when I really am just wearing whatever is comfortable to me.
I do all the time. I really came to love the dark goth look as I got older. I am 57 and dont want to look crazy now it's getting too close for comfort but I dress all black. Just normal looking stuff.
Hi, My name is Cora and I'm not goth or anything but I do still watch your channel, mainly because you're so genuine and sweet (plus I love your accent) and the world needs more people like you who aren't afraid to express themselves and be as kind as you are to your fans and everyone and every time I watch you, your attitude really changes my mood and pep me up for my day. Thank you!
Does anyone else have this issue? You immediately click like because you know your gonna like the video before you even watch it and then further into the video you glance down and try to like the video or subscribe and your like, "Damn, I already did all this shit.... Now how do I profess my love for this channel??!" lol I do it all the time....
I love love love your personality and your positivity. I've recently been increased to a high dose of anxiety meds and your videos always are so relaxing and really help me a lot. Thank you love you 💗💗
+misshrm14 I'm all for natural things but I've tried them. It depends on the person. I have PTSD and I was tired of wanting to end it all. But that's not what my comment was suppose to be about. Meds work for some people.
+Destiny Godwin you just have to find the right one, there's at least 15 different herbs you can use for anxiety, not all work for everyone :) same with meds but even if the meds work for you they are harmful for your health so be careful. You gut is directly linked to your brain so taking high quality probiotics such as thrive probiotic would help you a lot :3
this is not important but this is coming from someone who is not goth. i just appreciate how true to yourself you are. you are just a beautiful person inside and out. :)
Im not Goth (though people like to call me that) I'm more of 90's rocker more than anything. You know the type the one that always seem high and the one that's obsessed with late 80's and 90's rock and metal. I was mostly influenced by my mum, she was a teen in the 90's and was crazy for rave music and bands like green day, Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Metallica, bowling for soup etc.. Actually im going to see Marilyn Manson in December this year with her! I would never be the person i am today without my parents being themselves and sharing the things they love with me. I think parents who have kids should influence their kids in what kind of culture their into, gives them something they can bond over and introduces kids into different life styles. My friends still find it weird that my mum drives fast down the back roads listening to rock music full blast but that's what i love about her. Couldn't imagine a world where she didn't act like that, we wouldn't have anything in common!
I thought she mentioned in this video about doing more videos specifically on teasing/taking down. I am going to rewatch her hair tuts now that you mention it though!
you might as well get airbrushed...its expensive though unless you buy it and have someone you trust I spray it evenly ....a not paint your whole room with foundation
A little advice for plus size goths: Torrid has some gothable clothing. It's not always very cheap, though but it can get all the more affordable when things go on sale or when they have certain events. They even have two Wednesday dresses right now!
Have you ever seen What we do in the Shadows? I watched it again last night and noticed that it takes place in Wellington, which I'm pretty sure is your home town!
WOW! That is one of my all time favorite movies! I have to see it for the millionth time( not that I would hate to) to look for YOU!!! .... You are such a lovely person, inside and out! I love watching your vids. If I missed it, I'm sorry, but where did you get those skull glasses???
It's really awesome that you're so positive and kind. Many people think that goths and metal fans are always depressed and angry and it's not true at all! You have such a good heart, I love it! :)
Just want to say. thank you for being you. I am 35 and I have always been different and just got a septum and Marilyn because people kept telling me I will regret it and all I regret is not doing it sooner. You spread so much positivity about being an individual. Much love and keep on being you...cause you are delightful!
I love the goth, emo, and steampunk subcultures cause I like the Victorian styles of goth and steampunk but I also like the metallic look of steampunk but sometimes the black goth is cool too but I also like the emo look a little bit but I think it's funny cause I only like the way they look nothing else that has to do with that subculture but also sadly my mom will only dress steampunk sometimes so yea I get what people mean if it's ok to wear the look but not really be in that group
I like your videos for one simple reason...you are REAL!!! So many of these so-called "you-tubers" start off portraying themselves then gradually switch to what they think the world wants them to be. None of that with you! Thanks for not changing and continuing to be yourself. I have been watching your channel for well over a year now. I am not goth...just trying to get through this "thing called life" the best I can. I wish you much happiness in your life!
I'm watching this well over a year later, but I have to say, I really love how encouraging you are when it comes to just being yourself. I don't share your aesthetic (though part of me has wanted to since I was in high school in the late 90s) but it's just so nice to see positive people. I've been watching your channel for ages, and I just love you.
I must say. Your videos give me so much confidence, I can't really explain. But I feel like I can find the strength to be my self again. As a new young mom. I lost my self as a living nursing bottle. and not long ago I find one of you videos. After that I don't feel so empty inside. And have the strength back to do what I want and find my style again. And my positive attitude. How you talk and they way you explain thing. Help my think clearly. And help me in so many levels. So I want to thank you, for helping me helpling my baby son of 7 month.
Hi Black Friday! Your videos are so inspiring to me and I feel like you've made me a lot more comfortable with the entire goth society. Before I came across your channel, I always had the impression that it was some kind of exclusive club where you either go big or go home and that always used to scare me, despite loving so many aspects of it. So I'd like to start with thanking you for that! So now to my question: I really like lots of aspects of the pastel goth style (I've always felt like a cute cupcake doused with poison in the inside) but I think this question can be applied to any subculture. I enjoy the style and the aspects of it look and want to adopt the style as my own, however whenever I try some parts on myself it just doesn't seem right. Does this mean I'm not truly into it? Or is it something I have to get used to and will grow on me? For example, I've dabbled in wearing wigs and whatnot (I cannot commit to dying my hair, I'm scared to bleach it or anything) and I'm just not comfortable seeing myself with the different hair. Is this something I will grow out of if I try it enough, or should I look for something different like actually dying my hair? I'm fine with clothing and makeup, but the look just doesn't seem quite complete without the hair. I look forward to hearing a response, since I'm sure you've got something helpful to say about this. Thank you for being so awesome!
Thank you for saying "do what you like" regards how you present yourself. I have changed my style a few times from goth and emo to skater and preppy and have been told many times by other people "you're not goth/prep/punk/emo/skater etc. And now I just go with what I feel each day rather than restricting myself to one style but I do have a theme of alternative fashion so now I just say I'm alternative as for me that covers everything not mainstream like goth, emo, cyber, skater etc etc. And BTW, you are beautiful!
Do what you like! I agree! I am not really into "goth" music or "goth" literature but LOVE the fashion and decor. Most days I dress goth, but there are also some other days where I feel like looking like a Sith Lord or Pirate, so I will incorporate those into the mix.
Hey hun could u do a video hiding ur camera, to show how ppl generally treat u & ur husband? Or Goths in general??? U say ur always being staired art, & uve even been stopped n asked/told u need to find God. Ive experienced much of this myself so I think this would b a great video thx him
Your videos are making me feel so much better lately. I went from spending an hour getting ready every single day, full gothic lolita esque style. Layers of makeup, wig styled, the whole shebang to constantly working where i have to be BEYOND plain for months now. And the day i have off i am usually too exhausted to get all dressed up. Im sure others, like mentioned in the video feel this struggle too. Its making me feel antsy and sick ahahah
I'm a Christian and love the gothic aesthetic as far as the darker colors, skulls, and deffinetly my favorite poet is Edgar Allen Poe (I know too much about him). My younger sister was like very obnoxious when I said I identified as a goth.
Torrid is a plus size alternative/goth style store in America. It is owned by Hot Topic. Starts at size 16, not sure how high it goes. Hope this helps your subscribers who need this info.
When you mentioned Malice Mizer, my heart jumped in delight.... :D (Not literally, don't worry. :D) I really like Malice Mizer and the related projects (esp. Közi solo / ZIZ), their music is really good. Other than that, I loved watching this video. ^_^ Thank you for publishing it, and for encouraging people to be themselves.... I know this is a thing that should be obvious but unfortunately, many people seem to be scared of taking a step towards being fine with who they are and how they look.... So, yes, thank you!! :)
Regarding making makeup waterproof for swimming/the beach, look into a product called Green marble seLr setting spray. I have not used it personally, but it is supposed to be the strongest stuff you can get. It is designed for stage makeup to keep makeup in place when sweating on stage under the lights, or dancing an entire ballet or something. There is Blue Marble seLr which is water based and more gentle for an everyday use to prevent makeup smearing on costumes and running from tears or sweat, and Green marble can be harsh on the skin as it is alcohol based (so not for daily use), but I have heard that performers use it for crazy things like getting sprayed with water hoses, and it supposedly keeps the makeup set. Some DRAG Queens swear by it too, especially those who dance and sweat A LOT! There is a water proof sealer that professional body painters use, and I don't know if it is this or something else. I would say normally if you care that much, just forego dunking your head under water, but if it was really important for you to be able to swim and still keep your look, I would look into Green Marble seLr.
I haven't decided what type of goth. They say u can't be goth unless u dress goth. But I'm poor. I can't buy the clothes I want the shorts I'm wearing rn r 3$. I feel I'm more pastel or nu goth but idk I also like dark Gothic
About the makeup beach thing, there are companies here in the us that make sprays you can put over your makeup to waterproof it and help it stay. They're called waterproof setting sprays and can get a little pricey but I have no idea about shipping outside of the us as I haven't bought any yet
I am so jealous!! I absolutely adore Alchemy Gothic and I've had my eye on that necklace for years! Also, I absolutely love your laugh, that might be a weird thing to say, but it's very unique and I love it! :) Thank you for always encouraging people to be and express themselves, I'm so tired of all the stigma, negativity and finger pointing associated with fitting a mold or lack thereof. You rock my socks!
It is absolutely disgusting how many people in the comment section are sexually harassing her and talking about her boobs wow people get a damn life for God's sake 😒
Hiya Black Friday! I am a newcomer to the world of hair dying and am wondering: Being a natural ginger how often did you have to fix your hair color? I'm a natural dark blonde and just started dying it partially black myself. (Lol love that you love Malice Mizer...I am in love with v-kei groups and Gackt!)
extending on what i just posted (because damn mobile won't allow me to edit, grr...): was it easier to dye your hair as time went on and did your hair take easier to the color?
+ScarletRavenwing hi, I know I'm not Black Friday but I can answer your questions! 😊 When you dye your hair any color, it damages it. Black isn't bad at all, since it doesn't strip color! It just kind of "coats" the hair strand. But never redye your whole head just to fix your roots. Just dye the roots, it's easier and doesn't damage it as much. Plus, if you try to bleach it after layers and layers of black, it'll take several applications and damage it terribly, from my experience. Hope this helped!
+ScarletRavenwing Also, after you dye your hair, it'll always be easier the times after that, since the strand becomes more porous and the dye soaks in faster. I believe this is the case with black dye as well. But virgin hair (roots) will take differently than the already dyed hair
I love this girl and her videos. I'm pretty much a girly girl, but I've always admired how outgoing goths are and how they really don't care what people think. I love your videos so much!
Oddly enough I found those mugs and some painted like sugar skulls at ROSS for $3 😵😍 I love them(: Also, using them like jars for different things is really nice too.
Taking me and my lil sis for example I'm a gothic/tomboy and I prefer dark colors but my mom used to dress me in bright colors and ~shiver~ worse a lot ALOT of pink
I love how your personality goes with your style, you know, like some ppl would say that you look like a devil, but then you speak and you're so nice and loving
I have such a hard time getting into Goth music. I'm trying to fully commit to the culture, but I just haven't found a typically gothic band I like. I'm too in love with my deathcore and deathmetal... tips??
going from deathcore/death to gothic music is quite a big difference yo keep listening, try not to listen to it the same way you listen to death/core. Also, black metal is pretty goth, so is punk. Find your thing.
My advice is don't worry too much about it. Like its good to know the classics for when you go to goth clubs, but all in all don't listen to stuff you don't like. I think it's important to acknowledge the musical roots and everything though.
You're a natural ginger who chose to be goth! Oh my it all makes sense! Were you the baby in Adams Family? Was that you?! Also SERIOUS question for anyone, if you wear all/mostly black, and tons of white makeup.... how does that work? No makeup transfer? It would drive me crazy!!
Hi Friday, I have a question: I believe one should dress however they want, even at work, I think that's part of diversity, and that's my opinion, but do you dress as you do at your job? And what are some goth bands you like?
About the glitter; NYX Cosmetics recently started selling glitter as well as glitter glue and it's fabulous! I've come to find that it doesn't really make a mess if I apply it with a Q-tip and the glitter doesn't drop into your eyes throughout the day if you use the glue.
The hair thing is a great idea. I've really been wishing for years now that you'd intricately show us how you tease your hair up and how you get it out etc etc or just a whole video about your hair in general
It's funny because I wear all black every day (I also dye my hair black - I'm naturally blonde), but I don't do make-up. My 'friends' constantly try to push me to wear color, and say things like "you only wear black because you think it's slimming." I'd love to dye my hair red, or purple, and get a lot of amazing piercings, but since I work in the corporate world - I can't.
Amalisa I'm exactly the same. Only ever wear black, everyone always comments on it and pushing me to wear colour which I don't want to. I work in the corporate world so need to 'conform' in order to pay the bills....
Thank you for emphasizing that you dont have to one wear one style. I flow back and forth through goth and tomboy, and sometimes kind of combine them. I try to create some consistency by doing tomboy in black lol
I absolutely love you! You're seriously an inspiration. I'm personally getting back into the goth scene which I was in for over 10 years and just couldn't afford to buy items for myself after I'd gained weight after having my little girl. I'm more confident now days and you inspire me to get back into the things I love! Hope to hear from you someday. 💖😘
Watching some of your older videos during quarantining & I just had to say that top makes your decolletage look amazing! 😋🖤 And that beautiful red lip w the red contacts is SUCH a great combo! 💄👍🏻
You have such a pretty face, chicka :) I LOVE LOVE Victorian style...clothing and household or really in any kind of category. Lace, and of course you can NEVER go wrong with Black! Wine, burgundy! :)
You are an inspiring women! You look wonderful and I love your outfits! I am goth too and I like to keep it that way forever. Thank you for letting me open up to myself and everyone I know!
I’m 16 so I still live with my family. My grandma is one of those people who thinks someone with even one tattoo is literally in a gang or does drugs/homeless (she actually said that to me). I’m in my church’s choir as is my grandma. I watched your older QnA where you discussed goth being Christian and I definitely agree with you. I’m afraid to lose my family (I’m very close with my grandma even if she can be offensive at times) when I turn 18... Another topic is getting dressed daily and going shopping with my mom. The other day she made me buy a cream sweater because I wear too much black. I once tried showing her some gothic style Instagram pages I love and she started crying saying that I was being “sucked into” the weirdo alternative cults. How do I tell her I want to cry when I wear brighter colors without her telling me I’m insane??? I feel like I physically can’t leave the house in brighter clothes like the cream sweater she wants me to wear... I mean, I try to compromise and wear burgundy/grey/army green colors.... any advice?? I’m assuming I just need to deal with it until I’m 18.... but what then? What happens when I’m 18 and my family thinks I’ve “fallen for” the alternative “cults”?!! Thanks so much for any advice!🖤🖤🖤
Can you be goth without dressing in all black? Because a lot of goths have told me it's not about the clothes it's about the lifestyle but a lot of goths have made fun of pastel goths for not being "real goths"
I'm a fat woman. I miss my gothy/punk look, but now that I'm bigger it just doesn't look like I want it to. I find myself just just wearing black leggings, and black bodycon dresses. :(
Cool suggestion here since I saw someone asked about laziness vs doing makeup, also swimming vs makeup. Not much of a thing can be done about hair (though got be brand things are quite waterproof to an extent that I have noticed) but makeup, I have solved this. See, I have gotten makeup tattooed so that I never have to do it. Not the makeup in my profile picture here, that is Mehron Paradise. I have a brown, red and grey smoke done and eyeliner done in tattoos as a time (and lets face it money) saver. It does seem expensive to do but when you really think about how much you spend on makeup that you rarely deviate from in appearance then it really does start to make sense. Also, if you have something that requires you to look "normal" and you are but a weekender then all you need to do is invest in some concealer (which is btw a much cheaper option here) to hide your tattoos, it's very quick and simple. One thing though, if a person is considering getting tattoo makeup done (which is btw different than "permanent" makeup, which is also not actually permanent and only really lasts about 5 years and is about 5x more expensive than tattoo makeup or cosmetic tattoos) then you need to find a tattoo artist who has experience doing very precision work and is willing to order custom pigments for you. Beings how it is sensitive skin, the artist will do a test spot in the pigment you have chosen for free if he/she is reputable, and also if he/she is reputable they will inform you of this necessity as well. Finally, if a person wishes to get this done the most important thing to do is clear your schedule as it will swell and look like you've gotten punched in the face for 1 to 2 weeks. Other than that, its a great idea and I am super happy with mine which I got at Epiphany Tattoo in Aurora, Colorado, USA just in case there are any Coloradans who read this.
There's a Goth couple where I used to live who had had a baby before I left. I was working in a shop and saw them come in with their little girl, her in a black onesie with little skulls on it, them in their black regalia, lots of spikes and chains.
The woman at the front of the queue said, "Honestly! How could they impose that- lifestyle- onto their poor child? It'll grow up so confused."
They heard her, and they looked so sad. I felt terrible for them. It was a black onesie. Don't all babies wear onesies or playsuits?
I forgot to scan a couple of things of theirs, but the baby question reminded me of how sad and sick I felt at such ignorance. If you have a baby, he or she will be the cutest little bat princess/prince.
+Xys Hunt Doesn't everyone 'impose' something on their babies they might not want when they grow older, since they can't dress themselves? I was dressed in typical pink and 'girly' stuff, but now I make my own decisions and have been dressing in a Goth style since I was ten (I'm eighteen). Honestly, you did better than me in that situation 'cause I would've said something to that woman! xD It's not her child, so it's not her business.
I was dressed all orange because my mums favorite color is orange. Mine is blue.
I only seen baby pictures of me at Christmas, but before I moved from my parent's house, I had only wear stuff from Goodwill. My sisters got to shop for themselves, which was usually goth stuff, especially my oldest. After I moved into my aunt's house, she doesn't let me have goth stuff, but I did find some other clothes cute too, but my taste had always been goth. Unfortunately the rest of the family is against it. Love them always.
I've said this a thousand god damned times throughout my life: If you're not hurting anyone, *who gives a fuck* ? Especially when it comes to a baby in a skull onesie?? Babies don't know shit. They don't even have a concept of object permanence, let alone fashion opinions. Nothing pisses me off more than people so obsessed with attacking normal people with feelings and defending things that don't give a shit in the first place.
‘Impose that lifestyle’ is much more relevant to forcing girls to wear pink to start enforcing gender stereotypes on them. I feel bad for the couple too and am mentally flipping that old woman off for all involved.🖤🖤🖤
My parents are Goths and I was dressed in like red and black until I was a bit older. My Dad refused to dress me in pink. I don't think I wore pink until about maybe 5 or 6 when I started choosing my own clothes a bit more. And for a long time I was pretty girly but around 14 it went full circle and now I've followed my parents footsteps.
Maddy Hatter Good
Wearing colors is just a phase
Amazing!!
Baby bat goes through Barbie phase then grows up. 🖤🖤🖤
You are lucky I love the goth fashion and I want to be goth but my parents are catholic and won’t let me dress in black because it’s “evil” 🙄
I'm the total opposite of a goth, but I really enjoy your videos and your style. Your personality is amazing.
My mom hates that I'm GOTH! She think I worship the devil and shit like lmao! she also told me I can't be goth because I'm BLACK....I told her I'm already black so why not camouflage XD!
LOVE THAT! do you girly, goth doesn't have a color :3
Bahaha! Great attitude, keep doing what you love!!
Well if you were 1 of my children I would love it especially creating new looks everyday! You be you and you be a good person that's all that matters!
There's a popular T-shirt slogan that reads: "So goth, I was born black." If there are enough black goths to support a T-shirt market, they must not be all that uncommon. I would love to meet a cute black goth chick. I wouldn't care whether she had big tiddies or not. Yeah, I'm gonna shut up now. :D
@@diggydude5229 lol I’m gonna go find that shirt now!!
I completely agree about being able to wear whatever you want. I am not goth, but truly love the style and appreciate the darker aesthetic. One day I want pink flowers and creamy lace. The next day I'll want to play with a style very similar to yours. It is your body and your life. Wear what makes you feel good and to hell with anybody who dislikes it.
I wish I could share this comment because it's amazing
You might appreciate things like... pastel goth, or bittersweet lolita, where you get a mix of blacks and pastels.
Omg i feel the same! And it pisses me off because my chloset is a mess 😂 i dont have the balls to wear alternative stuff sadly... 😞
**applause**
Gabrielle this is so me.
I love the red lipstick on you. I think it contrasts so well with the black and white makeup and I think it looks amazing with the red contacts as well. it looks so great on you
also what lipstick is this?? because it isn't smudging or getting on your straw at all and it seems amazing
+LivingInWonderlanddd try a matte liquid lipstick like Jeffree Star, colorpop or OCC lip tars. kinda drying sometimes but they won't budge
+mementomori is your name from the flyleaf album??
+icon for hire i love you guys no its actually a Latin phrase meaning "remember death" like to be aware of your mortality. kinda like carpe diem. really famous phrase with an interesting history
+mementomori and its huge in literature :)
My mother was goth and dressed almost like you when she was younger, but after she had her first kid she stopped because my father is more hiphop/rap/r&b person. I wonder if me and my siblings would've been a hybrid of goth and hiphop, would look like.
Senity goth hop!
Go with what you like even if you feel like a country girl. No one should tell you how to dress. It's a personal decision. I prefer switching styles.
Rage against the machine🖤☠️🕷
I call myself goth for ease, I'm a mix of everything. Goth/Metal/'Normal'/ etc. I do what I want.
Good way to live ^^
Lara Schmeitz you go girl!!!! 🖤😩 I wish I could be the same way
Lara Schmeitz ya so many people ask me what type of goth I am and I just say "Like it doesn't even matter."
Cheyenne Like Wyoming I never get asked, but one girl in my class once called me "the girl who pretends to be gothic" and I was laughing so hard because I don't even consider myself goth ^^ I'm more into visual kei, and with visual kei I can live and dress however I like, but with that I'm no goth even if I might look like one some days - and not everyone who wears black is a goth ...
Same
when i had kids (they r now 13 & 15) i was so disappointed at the lack of black clothing at all available for babies thru to preschoolers. if i could sew & had the time i wouldve made them myself but its a busy time when kids come along! lol
Marni Zavaleta right? I hate that!
I feel you! I started liking black clothing at 9 (12 now) and struggled with that for 2 years. Now I can shop in the adult section thank god.
12 is an awesome year My daughter is 12 now and most of my likes have stem from things that started when I was 12!
God, they look so damn good and big, so jealous!
I wish I had eyes like that.
LMAO
Lmaooo 😂😭
I have a dirty mind 0_0
really have to get my mind out of the gutter lol
My mind is dirty😂
When I was a baby and toddler my dad dressed me in misfits, Christian death, Ramones, sublime, dead Kennedys, etc. merch haha
Sounds like you have a cool dad!
what's ramones
+Ramon Llerenas band from the early days of punk music. ever heard "Blitzkrieg Bop"? May sound familiar, it's one of their most popular songs. ☺
Oh I see cool thanks I just thought it was interesting cuz my names Ramon thank you
You got a cool dad xD
It would be so ironic if you ever had a child, and they turned out preppy or something along those lines XD
Anjelica Huston's Morticia... yas. SO. MUCH. YAS.
Some of my über goffik friends have normal or preppy kids, their way of rebelling perhaps? :p
Who could say no to Morticia? ♡♡
+It's Black Friday the way Reeree Phillips described how her mom raised her, and then noticing how Dani Filth and his wife raised Luna, kind of makes me think that it is them rebelling. Rebelling against rebels lol
Saffy from Ab Fab? :)
+It's Black Friday hey it's Black Friday o was wondering what you thought of Amanda Palmer? She also was part of Evelyn Evelyn a set of characters she had who wear conjoined twin ( they also did a much better love will tear us apart cover because I know you don't like JD ) she not goth mote punk campray music is her discrimination of it she was also a living staunch known as the 8ft bride
Must admit, i have been goth since i was 12, i am now 42, but i always want my daughter to choose her own likes and paths in life, this goes for religion and even her name, i believe letting your own child choose not force your own opinion on them before they can talk...
And my daughter has turned out a intelligent, beautiful young lady, not goth and i love her for who she is, not what she looks like or how she is dressed, And I have admired her choices in life without my influence of my beliefs drummed into her tiny brain before she even has a choice. Just my opinion..🖤
Amen sister I tell my kids to dress the way they want to as long as it's not to revealing Or something that would hurt someone's feelings. I teach them that Being kind to people have being a good person or what really matters and play with your fashion! That's what can take you out of your head and it's crazy world and end or something Fun
I just notice that this is logged in under my daughter's identity ! That's so funny
sooo .. I paused your video at 3:57 because i'm watching this with my 3 year old daughter and i asked her if she thought you were beautiful and she said yes ❤ she likes your lipstick and your eyes .
my friend found out I watched your videos a few days ago, she laughed at me and said am I some kind of edgy emo, no I'm not, I've never been interested in any kind of goth fashion ect ect but I still have respect for everybody, and you are such a nice and 'general' person it's hard for anyone to just limit you down to naive insults! I love you videos and I love you as a person! keep up the great work
my mother always tried to dress me in old people clothes my entire life. I'm 36 and she still pulls that crap. I once wore goth shorts or a top with a skull and everyone in my family said "we thought you grew out of this phase" or "don't you think skulls are for teenagers not grown ups?" well before I was 18 I had to were what she choose for me. my aunt was awesome she actually thought the fairy hoodie I got from hot topic for my 24th birthday was wonderful and she bought it for me. my mother's response "oh that's odd your aunt picked this?" "that's strange" all whall wrinkling her nose up all snooty like. my aunt's daughter was pretty much a cookie cutter of my mother and dressed like a 50year old woman when she was 10 till this day. my aunt was the only sweet understand open-minded decent human being out of whole lot. she is to this day the only one to ever care and be cool about my clothing choices. I miss her so much.
There is no "age" for clothing style....
I'd love to see you do a 'Goth To Visual Kei Transformation' that would be so cool!
Would you please do a school supplies video for goths
i actually really like this idea!
oooo yes!
Agreed
OMG yes that would be so cool!! Totally need stuff like that for school!!
Omggg pleease
Do you think it's okay to mix up fashion styles? For example, I like clothes as long as they are comfortable and my clothes can go from gothic one day to a more preppy style the next and a lot of people I know say that I'm just 'posing' when I really am just wearing whatever is comfortable to me.
do anything you want dude.
Of course!
That's the fun thing about creating your own style, you mix what you like :)
I do all the time. I really came to love the dark goth look as I got older. I am 57 and dont want to look crazy now it's getting too close for comfort but I dress all black. Just normal looking stuff.
Hi, My name is Cora and I'm not goth or anything but I do still watch your channel, mainly because you're so genuine and sweet (plus I love your accent) and the world needs more people like you who aren't afraid to express themselves and be as kind as you are to your fans and everyone and every time I watch you, your attitude really changes my mood and pep me up for my day. Thank you!
Does anyone else have this issue? You immediately click like because you know your gonna like the video before you even watch it and then further into the video you glance down and try to like the video or subscribe and your like, "Damn, I already did all this shit.... Now how do I profess my love for this channel??!" lol I do it all the time....
Haha, I do that
I would seriously cry like a baby if anyone ever left me this comment on my channel .OMG So sweet!
**sniffle
+Amber lol calm down self promo
omg your skull mason jar cup thing!
Yeah eh! :D
+It's Black Friday where'd you get it from?
+Frxnk Iero I think you can find them on Amazon.
+Frxnk Iero Google"skull mason jar cup" and they come up I found them on Oriental trading and amazon
+It's Black Friday LOVE THAT JAR!
Love skulls! 💜💀💜
I know I'm not the only one who was staring at her chest the entire time. Judge me.
I definitely was x.x
Does she put makeup on her chest when she wears clothes like that? Just wondering.
yes!!!
Me bitch!
No shame. First thing I looked at, and last thing I looked at....
I love love love your personality and your positivity. I've recently been increased to a high dose of anxiety meds and your videos always are so relaxing and really help me a lot. Thank you love you 💗💗
Meds aren't good for anxiety Hun, I use ashwagandha for my anxiety and it works amazing :) natural herbs help anxiety so much better
+misshrm14 I'm all for natural things but I've tried them. It depends on the person. I have PTSD and I was tired of wanting to end it all. But that's not what my comment was suppose to be about. Meds work for some people.
+Destiny Godwin you just have to find the right one, there's at least 15 different herbs you can use for anxiety, not all work for everyone :) same with meds but even if the meds work for you they are harmful for your health so be careful. You gut is directly linked to your brain so taking high quality probiotics such as thrive probiotic would help you a lot :3
+Heart-Shaped Box I definitely agree. The medicine I'm on is like night and day for me! It's made my life so much better 😊
+Heart-Shaped Box Thank you very much! I hope you have a great day 😊
Lmao the fact that your eyelash was falling off kept distracting me ah
Me too .___.
Ugh same, I couldn't focus fully xD
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it
thought I was the only one who seen it
AbbyCan'tDraw so?
could you please do a hair tutorial? that would be so helpful!
I agree!
She already has a hair tutorial; It's a bit old but she does show and explain how she achieves her hairstyle. Just look for it on her channel. :)
I believe she back combs it and puts it in a bun or a large hair clip. at least that's what it looks like??
+Ash Adrian she's already done one lol
She has done one, it's way back in her first videos.
your voice is my favourite and I can't put my finger on why I just really like it haha it's very relaxing 😂
I get the same feeling and about another goth TH-camr called ofherbsandaltars. Both of their accents are so intriguing 😂
i agree
Yes I love to listen to her voice!
You are such a genuine person. You're personally one of my favorite TH-camrs.
this is not important but this is coming from someone who is not goth. i just appreciate how true to yourself you are. you are just a beautiful person inside and out. :)
i really love the way you talk. its so calming
Im not Goth (though people like to call me that) I'm more of 90's rocker more than anything. You know the type the one that always seem high and the one that's obsessed with late 80's and 90's rock and metal. I was mostly influenced by my mum, she was a teen in the 90's and was crazy for rave music and bands like green day, Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Metallica, bowling for soup etc.. Actually im going to see Marilyn Manson in December this year with her! I would never be the person i am today without my parents being themselves and sharing the things they love with me. I think parents who have kids should influence their kids in what kind of culture their into, gives them something they can bond over and introduces kids into different life styles. My friends still find it weird that my mum drives fast down the back roads listening to rock music full blast but that's what i love about her. Couldn't imagine a world where she didn't act like that, we wouldn't have anything in common!
Hair tutorials would be awesome!
I thought she mentioned in this video about doing more videos specifically on teasing/taking down. I am going to rewatch her hair tuts now that you mention it though!
i think she only did one and i dont think she covered how to get the hair back down.
that's the scariest part btw.
I have a question... when you're in a swimsuit, how far down does the makeup go? Like neck and cleavage? Arms and legs?
you might as well get airbrushed...its expensive though unless you buy it and have someone you trust I spray it evenly
....a not paint your whole room with foundation
I'd think as she is naturally pale she may not have to worry so much about extending the makeup too much.
12:23
It looks like she extends it down her neck and bust since they're the same shade as her face. But then she is naturally very pale as well.
right!? lol I was wondering that tooo
A little advice for plus size goths: Torrid has some gothable clothing. It's not always very cheap, though but it can get all the more affordable when things go on sale or when they have certain events. They even have two Wednesday dresses right now!
I love Torrid so much
Love Torrid!!! Hot Topic (who owns Torrid) still carries some really cute dresses too in plus sizes.
I really admire the goth community. So beautiful
You are seriously the coolest :)
Have you ever seen What we do in the Shadows? I watched it again last night and noticed that it takes place in Wellington, which I'm pretty sure is your home town!
I'm in that film, in the masquerade ball scene! 😊
That's awesome. I'm gonna have to re-watch that now.
WHAT? WHERE? WHAT OUTFIT ARE YOU WEARING???
WOW! That is one of my all time favorite movies! I have to see it for the millionth time( not that I would hate to) to look for YOU!!! .... You are such a lovely person, inside and out! I love watching your vids. If I missed it, I'm sorry, but where did you get those skull glasses???
AHHHHH THATS MY FAVE MOVIE!!!
I love your hair. I'm also quite partial to drac makens hair (looks like lydia deets especially the beetlejuice cartoon version!)
It's really awesome that you're so positive and kind. Many people think that goths and metal fans are always depressed and angry and it's not true at all! You have such a good heart, I love it! :)
Just want to say. thank you for being you. I am 35 and I have always been different and just got a septum and Marilyn because people kept telling me I will regret it and all I regret is not doing it sooner. You spread so much positivity about being an individual. Much love and keep on being you...cause you are delightful!
hahaha snort derisively!!! love it! "Explain your GOTHDOM" AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT!
ever drunk bailey's from a shoe
I'm old greg!!!! I've got a mangina!!!!
Fucking love olgmd greg. Want to go to a club where people wee on eachother?!
LEGIT GUNNA PUT THIS IN THE COMMENTS OMG. YOU'RE A LEGEND.
this comment is life
+Chris Cooley Old Greg is life. lmao
I love the goth, emo, and steampunk subcultures cause I like the Victorian styles of goth and steampunk but I also like the metallic look of steampunk but sometimes the black goth is cool too but I also like the emo look a little bit but I think it's funny cause I only like the way they look nothing else that has to do with that subculture but also sadly my mom will only dress steampunk sometimes so yea I get what people mean if it's ok to wear the look but not really be in that group
my mom dressed me in little flowered dresses and cute little shoes and now I'm a little emo
maddie button same
maddie button me too
And me
my parents dressed me in flowers and pink. i still like pink and flowers, but i have a mohawk and dress a little cyber goth once in a while
Me too!😂
I like your videos for one simple reason...you are REAL!!! So many of these so-called "you-tubers" start off portraying themselves then gradually switch to what they think the world wants them to be. None of that with you! Thanks for not changing and continuing to be yourself. I have been watching your channel for well over a year now. I am not goth...just trying to get through this "thing called life" the best I can. I wish you much happiness in your life!
I'm watching this well over a year later, but I have to say, I really love how encouraging you are when it comes to just being yourself. I don't share your aesthetic (though part of me has wanted to since I was in high school in the late 90s) but it's just so nice to see positive people. I've been watching your channel for ages, and I just love you.
So jealous of your skull cup! I bought one like it after Halloween, and it broke while I was moving.
I must say. Your videos give me so much confidence, I can't really explain.
But I feel like I can find the strength to be my self again. As a new young mom. I lost my self as a living nursing bottle.
and not long ago I find one of you videos. After that I don't feel so empty inside. And have the strength back to do what I want and find my style again. And my positive attitude.
How you talk and they way you explain thing. Help my think clearly. And help me in so many levels.
So I want to thank you, for helping me helpling my baby son of 7 month.
Hi Black Friday! Your videos are so inspiring to me and I feel like you've made me a lot more comfortable with the entire goth society. Before I came across your channel, I always had the impression that it was some kind of exclusive club where you either go big or go home and that always used to scare me, despite loving so many aspects of it. So I'd like to start with thanking you for that! So now to my question: I really like lots of aspects of the pastel goth style (I've always felt like a cute cupcake doused with poison in the inside) but I think this question can be applied to any subculture. I enjoy the style and the aspects of it look and want to adopt the style as my own, however whenever I try some parts on myself it just doesn't seem right. Does this mean I'm not truly into it? Or is it something I have to get used to and will grow on me? For example, I've dabbled in wearing wigs and whatnot (I cannot commit to dying my hair, I'm scared to bleach it or anything) and I'm just not comfortable seeing myself with the different hair. Is this something I will grow out of if I try it enough, or should I look for something different like actually dying my hair? I'm fine with clothing and makeup, but the look just doesn't seem quite complete without the hair. I look forward to hearing a response, since I'm sure you've got something helpful to say about this. Thank you for being so awesome!
Thank you for saying "do what you like" regards how you present yourself. I have changed my style a few times from goth and emo to skater and preppy and have been told many times by other people "you're not goth/prep/punk/emo/skater etc. And now I just go with what I feel each day rather than restricting myself to one style but I do have a theme of alternative fashion so now I just say I'm alternative as for me that covers everything not mainstream like goth, emo, cyber, skater etc etc.
And BTW, you are beautiful!
Do what you like! I agree! I am not really into "goth" music or "goth" literature but LOVE the fashion and decor. Most days I dress goth, but there are also some other days where I feel like looking like a Sith Lord or Pirate, so I will incorporate those into the mix.
That mug is awesome!!
IKR! Where'd she get it??
+Frxnk Iero I have one but I'm from New.Zealand go it here
+Frxnk Iero you could probably find it on eBay or something
They sell them a Michales craft store! I bought a few.
Same opinion. It looks very awesome.
Malice Mizer!!! I used to listen to them like crazy!! Now that you've mentioned it, I can see the resemblance to Mana 💙
Hey hun could u do a video hiding ur camera, to show how ppl generally treat u & ur husband? Or Goths in general??? U say ur always being staired art, & uve even been stopped n asked/told u need to find God. Ive experienced much of this myself so I think this would b a great video thx him
I love how you mentioned Malice Mizer and VK! I personally love love love Dir en grey! I just recently stumbled across your videos but I love them!
Your videos are making me feel so much better lately. I went from spending an hour getting ready every single day, full gothic lolita esque style. Layers of makeup, wig styled, the whole shebang to constantly working where i have to be BEYOND plain for months now. And the day i have off i am usually too exhausted to get all dressed up. Im sure others, like mentioned in the video feel this struggle too. Its making me feel antsy and sick ahahah
I'm a Christian and love the gothic aesthetic as far as the darker colors, skulls, and deffinetly my favorite poet is Edgar Allen Poe (I know too much about him). My younger sister was like very obnoxious when I said I identified as a goth.
Can you do a video of how you put your hair down?
I vote this too!! I'm srslly so curious
She already made hair tutorials about it. To put it down? She just brushes it. She leaves her hair this this for a while until she has to redo it.
Torrid is a plus size alternative/goth style store in America. It is owned by Hot Topic. Starts at size 16, not sure how high it goes. Hope this helps your subscribers who need this info.
Torrid is not goth 😂
When you mentioned Malice Mizer, my heart jumped in delight.... :D (Not literally, don't worry. :D) I really like Malice Mizer and the related projects (esp. Közi solo / ZIZ), their music is really good.
Other than that, I loved watching this video. ^_^ Thank you for publishing it, and for encouraging people to be themselves.... I know this is a thing that should be obvious but unfortunately, many people seem to be scared of taking a step towards being fine with who they are and how they look.... So, yes, thank you!! :)
Regarding making makeup waterproof for swimming/the beach, look into a product called Green marble seLr setting spray. I have not used it personally, but it is supposed to be the strongest stuff you can get. It is designed for stage makeup to keep makeup in place when sweating on stage under the lights, or dancing an entire ballet or something. There is Blue Marble seLr which is water based and more gentle for an everyday use to prevent makeup smearing on costumes and running from tears or sweat, and Green marble can be harsh on the skin as it is alcohol based (so not for daily use), but I have heard that performers use it for crazy things like getting sprayed with water hoses, and it supposedly keeps the makeup set. Some DRAG Queens swear by it too, especially those who dance and sweat A LOT! There is a water proof sealer that professional body painters use, and I don't know if it is this or something else. I would say normally if you care that much, just forego dunking your head under water, but if it was really important for you to be able to swim and still keep your look, I would look into Green Marble seLr.
I haven't decided what type of goth. They say u can't be goth unless u dress goth. But I'm poor. I can't buy the clothes I want the shorts I'm wearing rn r 3$. I feel I'm more pastel or nu goth but idk I also like dark Gothic
Breanna The Panda thrift shops and H&M/Forever 21 clearance sales have lots of affordable goth fashion options
That's fucking bullshit
De Santis not at all. I got some tight black shredded jeans from f21 & a long black jacket from h&m. With a good eye you could pull it together
Def check out thrift stores. They have alot of good stuff.
As long as u wear all black, you are covered. Its not a must to spend lots of money on clothes. I cant do that either.
my 4 year old walked by while I was watching u and said "mommy, she's a really nice spooky." lol
i love your personality. and your style of course. you just seem really awesome
About the makeup beach thing, there are companies here in the us that make sprays you can put over your makeup to waterproof it and help it stay. They're called waterproof setting sprays and can get a little pricey but I have no idea about shipping outside of the us as I haven't bought any yet
I am so jealous!! I absolutely adore Alchemy Gothic and I've had my eye on that necklace for years! Also, I absolutely love your laugh, that might be a weird thing to say, but it's very unique and I love it! :) Thank you for always encouraging people to be and express themselves, I'm so tired of all the stigma, negativity and finger pointing associated with fitting a mold or lack thereof. You rock my socks!
You are one of my favourite you tubers!! You look incredible. ❤♥
It is absolutely disgusting how many people in the comment section are sexually harassing her and talking about her boobs wow people get a damn life for God's sake 😒
Hiya Black Friday! I am a newcomer to the world of hair dying and am wondering: Being a natural ginger how often did you have to fix your hair color? I'm a natural dark blonde and just started dying it partially black myself. (Lol love that you love Malice Mizer...I am in love with v-kei groups and Gackt!)
extending on what i just posted (because damn mobile won't allow me to edit, grr...): was it easier to dye your hair as time went on and did your hair take easier to the color?
+ScarletRavenwing hi, I know I'm not Black Friday but I can answer your questions! 😊 When you dye your hair any color, it damages it. Black isn't bad at all, since it doesn't strip color! It just kind of "coats" the hair strand. But never redye your whole head just to fix your roots. Just dye the roots, it's easier and doesn't damage it as much. Plus, if you try to bleach it after layers and layers of black, it'll take several applications and damage it terribly, from my experience. Hope this helped!
+ScarletRavenwing Also, after you dye your hair, it'll always be easier the times after that, since the strand becomes more porous and the dye soaks in faster. I believe this is the case with black dye as well. But virgin hair (roots) will take differently than the already dyed hair
+cas is all ass this helps a lot, thank you! I leave on vacation in December so I may touch up my hair then.
707, DEFENDER OF JUSTICE
I love this girl and her videos. I'm pretty much a girly girl, but I've always admired how outgoing goths are and how they really don't care what people think. I love your videos so much!
Honestly I just love hearing you talk, your accent is so enticing x'D
Aaah, you're such a positive girl! You always make me smile!
Oddly enough I found those mugs and some painted like sugar skulls at ROSS for $3 😵😍 I love them(:
Also, using them like jars for different things is really nice too.
Taking me and my lil sis for example I'm a gothic/tomboy and I prefer dark colors but my mom used to dress me in bright colors and ~shiver~ worse a lot ALOT of pink
I love how your personality goes with your style, you know, like some ppl would say that you look like a devil, but then you speak and you're so nice and loving
"prove you are Goth" ... can't stop laughing.
Didn't know we had the inquisition back in town.
I remember that when I was in high school, and if you ignored them you got call a power
Poser* not power autocorrect
I have such a hard time getting into Goth music. I'm trying to fully commit to the culture, but I just haven't found a typically gothic band I like. I'm too in love with my deathcore and deathmetal... tips??
Mortal coil ( not me ) is pretty good try them
going from deathcore/death to gothic music is quite a big difference yo
keep listening, try not to listen to it the same way you listen to death/core. Also, black metal is pretty goth, so is punk. Find your thing.
My advice is don't worry too much about it. Like its good to know the classics for when you go to goth clubs, but all in all don't listen to stuff you don't like. I think it's important to acknowledge the musical roots and everything though.
Jaded Scribbles I agree. Thank you.
George Rushton it's really difficult. Thank you!
You're a natural ginger who chose to be goth! Oh my it all makes sense! Were you the baby in Adams Family? Was that you?! Also SERIOUS question for anyone, if you wear all/mostly black, and tons of white makeup.... how does that work? No makeup transfer? It would drive me crazy!!
Hi Friday, I have a question: I believe one should dress however they want, even at work, I think that's part of diversity, and that's my opinion, but do you dress as you do at your job? And what are some goth bands you like?
About the glitter; NYX Cosmetics recently started selling glitter as well as glitter glue and it's fabulous! I've come to find that it doesn't really make a mess if I apply it with a Q-tip and the glitter doesn't drop into your eyes throughout the day if you use the glue.
The hair thing is a great idea. I've really been wishing for years now that you'd intricately show us how you tease your hair up and how you get it out etc etc or just a whole video about your hair in general
OMG tell me where you got that skull glass 😍
mug*
It's probably on her Amazon Wishlist
Link in her description
www.amazon.com/dp/B016BJWAB0/
+imafreakbic2010 omg that comes up as some oriental amazon at $14.95 but on amazon Uk it's £85 wtf is going on 😭😭
There is a ebay store called HappyHomies in UK and they are restocking it soon but have many things on there :)
What is her day job
It's funny because I wear all black every day (I also dye my hair black - I'm naturally blonde), but I don't do make-up. My 'friends' constantly try to push me to wear color, and say things like "you only wear black because you think it's slimming." I'd love to dye my hair red, or purple, and get a lot of amazing piercings, but since I work in the corporate world - I can't.
Amalisa I'm exactly the same. Only ever wear black, everyone always comments on it and pushing me to wear colour which I don't want to. I work in the corporate world so need to 'conform' in order to pay the bills....
Amalisa FUCK CORPORATE JOBS. I refuse to conform to bullshit
Amalisa same here! What's with people and trying to make us wear " colors "
I cried when you said you didn't like Joy Division...but I LOVE YOU ANYWAY OF COURSE xoxoxo much love from Boston!!!
Thank you for emphasizing that you dont have to one wear one style. I flow back and forth through goth and tomboy, and sometimes kind of combine them. I try to create some consistency by doing tomboy in black lol
how do you tease your hair if it's thick and curly? :/
FREYJA PLEASE BE MY NEW MOM

I love your make up it goes really great with your eyes
I absolutely love you! You're seriously an inspiration. I'm personally getting back into the goth scene which I was in for over 10 years and just couldn't afford to buy items for myself after I'd gained weight after having my little girl. I'm more confident now days and you inspire me to get back into the things I love! Hope to hear from you someday. 💖😘
Watching some of your older videos during quarantining & I just had to say that top makes your decolletage look amazing! 😋🖤 And that beautiful red lip w the red contacts is SUCH a great combo! 💄👍🏻
I hate glitter it gets everywhere. Even if you think If is all cleaned up your wrong the glitter will take over

Jocelyn Worthington As soon as you spill glitter your house will siffer of glotter herpes forever

You have such a pretty face, chicka :) I LOVE LOVE Victorian style...clothing and household or really in any kind of category. Lace, and of course you can NEVER go wrong with Black! Wine, burgundy! :)

Just found your channel through Stepanka! XXOO
Love everything you are about!
I’m 16 so I still live with my family. My grandma is one of those people who thinks someone with even one tattoo is literally in a gang or does drugs/homeless (she actually said that to me). I’m in my church’s choir as is my grandma. I watched your older QnA where you discussed goth being Christian and I definitely agree with you. I’m afraid to lose my family (I’m very close with my grandma even if she can be offensive at times) when I turn 18... Another topic is getting dressed daily and going shopping with my mom. The other day she made me buy a cream sweater because I wear too much black. I once tried showing her some gothic style Instagram pages I love and she started crying saying that I was being “sucked into” the weirdo alternative cults. How do I tell her I want to cry when I wear brighter colors without her telling me I’m insane??? I feel like I physically can’t leave the house in brighter clothes like the cream sweater she wants me to wear... I mean, I try to compromise and wear burgundy/grey/army green colors.... any advice?? I’m assuming I just need to deal with it until I’m 18.... but what then? What happens when I’m 18 and my family thinks I’ve “fallen for” the alternative “cults”?!! Thanks so much for any advice!🖤🖤🖤
Can you be goth without dressing in all black? Because a lot of goths have told me it's not about the clothes it's about the lifestyle but a lot of goths have made fun of pastel goths for not being "real goths"
YOUR TOP! OH MY GOD I WANT IT 😍😍😍
It seems to be missing some fabric in the front.
+ᅚᅚ no it's not lmfao
+Amber Johnson lol XXDD
It looks like it could be a dress from the brand "jawbreaker clothing" Think it's called the "immortal dress" I could be wrong though
I'm a fat woman. I miss my gothy/punk look, but now that I'm bigger it just doesn't look like I want it to. I find myself just just wearing black leggings, and black bodycon dresses. :(
And here is me with opposite problem. Im tall and skinny and love rock/metal look but not on skinny girls. It bothers me as heck 😄
Who cares about the build of the person dress as what makes your heart happy. People look best when they satisfy their hearts.
Cool suggestion here since I saw someone asked about laziness vs doing makeup, also swimming vs makeup. Not much of a thing can be done about hair (though got be brand things are quite waterproof to an extent that I have noticed) but makeup, I have solved this. See, I have gotten makeup tattooed so that I never have to do it. Not the makeup in my profile picture here, that is Mehron Paradise. I have a brown, red and grey smoke done and eyeliner done in tattoos as a time (and lets face it money) saver. It does seem expensive to do but when you really think about how much you spend on makeup that you rarely deviate from in appearance then it really does start to make sense. Also, if you have something that requires you to look "normal" and you are but a weekender then all you need to do is invest in some concealer (which is btw a much cheaper option here) to hide your tattoos, it's very quick and simple. One thing though, if a person is considering getting tattoo makeup done (which is btw different than "permanent" makeup, which is also not actually permanent and only really lasts about 5 years and is about 5x more expensive than tattoo makeup or cosmetic tattoos) then you need to find a tattoo artist who has experience doing very precision work and is willing to order custom pigments for you. Beings how it is sensitive skin, the artist will do a test spot in the pigment you have chosen for free if he/she is reputable, and also if he/she is reputable they will inform you of this necessity as well. Finally, if a person wishes to get this done the most important thing to do is clear your schedule as it will swell and look like you've gotten punched in the face for 1 to 2 weeks. Other than that, its a great idea and I am super happy with mine which I got at Epiphany Tattoo in Aurora, Colorado, USA just in case there are any Coloradans who read this.
I love you so much I watch all of your videos, you are the perfect mix between funny and wise!
