Mikielikesit Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Having to wash black lipstick off of your neck. Big hair, small cars. Airport metal detectors... "Hang on, just let me unbuckle my boots.." Returning home the next day after clubbing, on a train full of businessmen. Having to rush out of bed the moment you wake up just so you can get to the bank / store / whatever before it closes. The "Shoes, then corset" dilemma. People asking "What's so funny?" When your pointy-toe shoes/boots get caught in the holes in the hem of your skirt. Wearing a black turtleneck when it's 90 degrees outside Getting people to look you in the eyes when you talk to them. Getting your slave bracelet caught in your fishnets. Having to reach for the salt with one hand while holding back your sleeve with the other so it doesn't drag in the gravy. Trying to find your possessions in an all-black room. Finding your coat in the pile on the bed after a party. Trying to get the hair-dye stains out of your towels / sink / floors / doors / ceilings / carpets / pets / furniture. Being asked to defend your entire existence in 30 seconds or less. Finding a detergent to get those blacks blacker. Having little kids tug on their parent's arm and say, "Look, Mommy, isn't she pretty? I want to look like her!" while the parent grabs the child and get away fast. Getting your skirt caught on: ...the buckles of your boots when you are walking up stairs ...part of the seat-adjustment-thingeee in the car ...your heels while walking. ...the outside of the door of your car while you're driving, and you don't notice 'til you get where you were going, only to find when you get there that a portion of your outfit is now caked with road-slime. Not being able to climb really small stairs because the pointy toes on your pixie boots stick out past your toes enough that you can't get your actual toes on the steps. Trying to stand up, and getting the hooks on your left boot caught in the fishnets on your right leg. And managing to look graceful while extricating yourself. Dancing in a corset. Driving in a rather large cloak. Finding that your freshly washed black t-shirt is covered in bits of lint, which while undetectable by the naked eye, show up very well under the clubs UV light Knowing that the term "Soccer Mom" has other connotations. Walking into 'Gilley's, and having it dawn on you, that you have entered the Twilight Zone. Trying to explain to someone that Goths CAN be Christians…. and so can assholes. I thought these were kind of funny........enjoy Add more if some were missed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeymustard02 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 The "Shoes, then corset" dilemma. I learned that one the hard way. Lol also what falls on the floor stays on the floor once the corset is on. Unless you have someone nice enough to follow behind you picking it up.

CandyQuackenbush Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I get the left boot hookin it self onto the right leg fishnet problem. I have a trench coat that if its not buttoned up, it draped on the stairs behind me, and people LOVE to step on it. What I love is when people say, "So since your goth, do you believe in Satan?" Or, "If you're Goth, then why do you work in the day time?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I took a course called, "Acting: Styles" and one of the styles we studied was English restoration. We got to try on some period costumes and even the men had to wear corsets. Most of the men and some of the women had trouble picking things up, sitting down, etc. but I had no problems at all. You just have to remember to bend at the knees and not the waist.

Msterbeau Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I though the metal detector one should have something about body piercings in hidden places.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
