Ask Maki about the Goth Bible, her sister is involved with a similar publication.
La Madison, you are a born Gothic L prospect.
Only about a third of the attendees at any Goth club here are costumed and only the hard core regulars really do a tough look. Among that there is a fair portion of GL's but seldom anyone really approaching the all out Harajuku style. It appears to me to actually be a kind of 'medium' -think like an art medium, paint, photography, etc.- where androgyny can be indulged in to the max for guys and where an alternative form of extreme femininity gets played for girls who for any number of reasons abhor the mainstream off the rack 'fashions' pounded in to the average consumer. It certainly plays to the intensified repression of the current time with its mixture of heavily connoted sin and innocence. But I don't see it catching on as a real mainstream hit aside from maybe a few extremely watered down fashion details and maybe accessories. What would it say about the level of schizoidness in our culture now if the two main veins were rap and Gothic Lolita?
