Teen Gothic

Thanks to the wonders of HRT, Testosterone has somewhere along the months turned my pinstraight hair (annoyingly fine, but easily manageable especially for versatility) into what I'd describe as 3A curls. An ungodly beast which can now gobble up a bottle of conditioner and not be satiated.

I've always dyed my hair a green, shaggy short cuts I'd either tease and crimp in college or just have a wolfcut. Now I'm at a loss on what to do, my hair has a lot of volume— but now very bouncy. I've considered just brushing out and bam..bat-nest. But my bangs can't be straightened without reaching past my nose, and if I cut them? Then as a natural curl they'd be tiny on my big beetle forehead.

What do you curly goths do? I feel a bit insecure about my hair, admittedly I never truly realise how little curls I see in the goth community until I was seeking it out.

Am visiting from 15-18 January, keen to see what's recommended for a visit both for traveling goths and generally!

by the way, if anyone can tell me: how rare is this CD? i tried looking it up online, and found a few results, but not a lot and most were secondhand listings. this was pressed (and seemingly distributed) in France; i live in the United States.

I've always used music as inspiration for my creative work and I've been working on a worldbuilding project for the first time with goth music as core part of the inspiration! I'm also going with a heavy colour theme and i've been wanting to find something, preferably an album with heavy red theming to draw from! I vaguely remember stumbling upon something like it, but i cannot remember which band it was or what the album's name was. Curious to see if you have anything that fits this kind of description! I'm always looking for new music so drop something even if it's not 100% on point!

I'm usually not a fan of song covers, but this is definitely one of the better ones.

Today is the day you can post your favourite classic goth bands! Feel free to post your favourite Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy or Cure song; this day is dedicated to them.
