Teen Gothic

this isn’t my usual goth look, but i had 1920s-esque funeral photos taken by my lovely friend for my upcoming birthday 🖤🖤

I'm looking for books that contain photos, interviews or just general discussion from the early days of goth. I have my eye on this one as it seems to be a great resource, but are there any others that would be worth getting that I should know about? (Or conversely, any in particular I should avoid?)

My husband got me this dress and corset from this alternative store that is strictly only in Seattle. It’s so hard shopping there because I want the whole store. Most of things I do own are thrifted, given to me, or I purchase secondhand from depop. The same goes for any jewelry I own. They either were hand-me-downs, I found thrifting or purchased from antique malls.

Unfortunately, I was not allowed to bring my good camera into this event as it was a Live Nation sponsored show, so I made do with what was allowed in and am pleased with the results. However, that camera thing looks like it might change for me at future goth rock shows thanks to friends who ran this one. I'll post a video montage of this show (and a bunch of past shows) eventually. The Sisters of Mercy played a bunch of unreleased songs which was amazing to hear. Who else saw them on tour?

It was a great show! They sounded really good, posed a lot for photos, I got a good spot in the crowd, and heard some of my favorite songs of all time live! If you've been hesitant to see them where you are, I'd say go for it!!
