It begins!

Hello! Gotta start somewhere! Hi I'm Puck! I've considered myself goth or at least very interested in the aesthetics since I was in elementary school. I have been active in the New England goth club scene for five or six years now and have a lot of interest in participating in it as much as I can in as many ways as I can. (This includes a brief stint trying to run my night that did not go as planned.)

Not long ago I was poking around the internet and I cam across a couple goth based blogs. (One being http://www.theeverydaygoth.com/) This kind of inspired me. Why not make my own blog? It also made me want to include my family. I have a sister who is also super into fashion, though she doesn't club like I do. She's a mother of two. I kinda think I'd like to see her views represented a bit. I don't see a whole lot of goth-mom based blogs. So at some point I'll be giving her access and she'll be posting here as well.

I also have a brother who I would love to see posts from. I think we need more views from the dudes. Not that I don't totally dig hot goth chick pictures, but I think you get what I mean.

I also found this awesome series of videos on youtube by the wife of one of my favorite animators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSTgtI2BkTo I was enthralled. Her outfits are so unique. I became super curious as she's in California. Is that the fashion out there? I started nicknaming her look, "west-coast baller-goth". I then looked into some of the pieces of her outfit thinking it'd be nice to rock some of her ideas here on the East Coast. I was hit with sticker shock. Her outfits are expensive. Now I'm not saying she's crazy rich or anything, there's a chance she got some of these things as gifts or at a discount, or maybe the company sent her some.

This all makes me want to create a gothic fashion blog dedicated to helping people dress goth on a budget. Or on a shoestring. I know as someone who clubs it can be overwhelming finding new pieces for a night and not wanting to get caught wearing the same thing multiple nights in a row. So I want to help you out! From helping find a place to buy the things you want, cheaper alternatives, sneaky ways to add to your outfit, and some diy! We'll definitely have to give you some Pinterests boards to draw your inspiration from, and not to mention lots of pictures of things we've bought and our outfits!

Hope to inspire you!
