You look very beautiful in those colors and I like your hair in the ponytails. I too wonder if I am too old for ponytails even though I like the way they look on me. Most of the time I figure if I like the way they look that is good enough for anyone else.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018534117476042012.post-45954734170046351912010-06-11T18:11:41.491-04:002010-06-11T18:11:41.491-04:00First and foremost: lapsang souchong always tastes...First and foremost: lapsang souchong always tastes like 'bacon tea' to me. It's the smoke, I know.<br /><br />Second: I used to dress much more goth-y than I do now, but I think I was born a goth. I *loved* ghost stories as a kid and I still need Sisters of Mercy at regular intervals. And I still have about 12 floor-length skirts, which I love and treasure and wear.<br /><br />Third: Ponytails are great and you are *never* too old for them.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425434067272845742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018534117476042012.post-49981714057720181622010-06-11T08:24:14.134-04:002010-06-11T08:24:14.134-04:00Love the hair, love the dress - you look fab! And ...Love the hair, love the dress - you look fab! And I have a very similar relationship to Goth - been in that state for many years. So you are not alone!<br /><br />I'm old enough to have been what I call a proto-Goth, because some of the things Goth claimed were big in the no-name primordial culture before Goth was defined. (Well actually, at my high school it did have a name - "freaks." But not all of us freaks were into all the same things. I preferred cloves to cannabis, f'rinstance - still do.)<br /><br />Doing a Goth outfit without black would be really fun...I find that one of the things that can force my Goth to be internal-only is location though - I am currently in the Midwest where the mainstream rules (though I am from the east coast and am soon bound for the west coast). I would LOVE it if I could dress more like Myself in my new home.

I discovered myself style-wise with Goth fashions in middle school - before that I wore whatever people handed down to me :)<br />After I watched "The Matrix" at age 14 and started reading dystopic futuristic sci-fi, I started wearing black, painting my nails silver or black, and wearing eyeliner :)<br />I'm far more on the Ruby Gloom/Addams Family side of the Goth fence - cheerful outlook, etc.<br />Do I wear all-black all-the-time - no. But a good part of my wardrobe is black, and eyeliner is one thing I rarely leave the house without. :)HollyElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14262141907304468611noreply@blogger.com
