Facade

Recommended Posts

This is where I fall sort to say cause for one my attire doesn't change unless it is required of me in the since of my personal well being (job). Is it wrong to always want to look your best or worst if that what makes you feel good? I must admit seeing others with god knows what on is amusing

, but then again are they real!

. As far as "The Scene" goes it's alright in my book and adding "Goth" is a little over the top for me which is why you will always see me genuinely as I am outside of it.

I look and act VERY different from everyday life to the club, and again am a third person a conventions, and a fourth person at Medieval Reinactments. I don't think it's necessarily bad, it's just that certain parts of my personality come out more prominently in different walks of my life. I'm rather professional in real life, flirty and geeky at con, sweet and very friendly at the Medieval things and really open and bold at CC. Go figure. LOL

I dress like no one's gonna see me...

naw, j/k..... idk... i'd like to dress more "scene", but i can only dress in what i can afford.... which is still wal-mart shit... but, the cool thing is, i can afford to buy accesories, and alter my clothes to be a little more out there... tho, these days, its slow going, since i don't have a sewing machine, anymore... and i HATE sweing by hand... it takes too long :sad: yeah... so i usually wear a pair of jeans, and a t-shirt of some kind. if i had more money, i'd dress in corsets, and long dresses all day long, all the time..... but alas, i am stuck dressing like i am poor... ha, go figure... im broke as hell lmao

I don't necessarily think it's bad to have different clothes, and different things you wear, to take on different persona's. I personally kinda like blending into the background, I don't really like sticking out.. If I'm at a goth club, I will dress appropriately, if I'm at a regular club, I will dress like the norm there. I wear more conservative clothes for work, and especially around my parents, don't like to scare them any more than I have to.

Is it fake? probably, but it's fun to be someone different for the night. It's fun to step outside yourself, and be more spontaneous and bold than you'd normally be. What would life be without a little spice in it?

I'd have to say I'm no more real or fake than anyone else, it's all based on ego. I'm not a huge club-goer and most of what I own is black, I do also have a love for wearing it. I try to keep things toned down, but wearing mostly black is more to me now about playing my part as authority because I disagree with authority. I'd have to say overall I'm more tuned-in to people's heads then they're clothes.

I dress in comfortably cut clothes...in personally pleasing colors and patterns..some of my clothes are black.....

.....more of my clothes are tie-dyed..than not.....

I wear Davey Crockett boot/moccasins(brown)...or combats.....

That does not make me a Goth or a Punk or a Hippy.....It makes me a FREIK!!.. & Happy...

.....that was my point...HAPPY!!

But, but, but EVERYONE IS WEARING A COSTUME. Between uniforms and dress codes and what's fashionable this year and the dictates of one's subculture and/or society--between all the mismatched edicts, to actually pull something together that coordinates (or not) and still manages to get across one's personal flair WE ARE ALL IN COSTUME daily. Unless naked all the time.

I don't think it's fake at all. Clothes are so irrelevent in the grand scheme of things. I just dress under the assumation I'll be too poor someday to use something so shallow as clothing to express who I am inside. There are much better ways to do so.

I used to spend Outrageous amounts of money on corsets, renaissance dresses, etc. Just because I liked them, and felt they defined me. Nowadays I prefer to blend in.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
