I go to goth shows in Boston fairly often; gotta have somewhere to wear my vintage Edwardian black clothing...I dress in sort of a romantic goth look (lace, some color in with the black, vintage, leather, not vinyl)I do have very goth hair I am told (no I do not dye it black) and am pale-skinned enough to pull it off...
In my exotic dancer days I wore a lot of black lace...
Goth is mostly about music and fashion, but there are some who live it as a lifestyle...some of them very interesting folks...some of them pretentious gits.
