Omg its so funny how being in an alternative society and/or person where all the "alternative" people (and i put that in quotes because i hate using the word or label alternative to describe myself) are into different genres, different looks, different inspirations etc & then some of those so called "alternatives" can then rant on and discriminate against someone who tries a different look or different style and say "you should stick to the dark eye shadow and eye liner".
Honestly are we here to join a clique? should we all just become BFF's and hang out at the mall together? should we all hold hands and sing kumbaya? how bout we get mini goth dogs and put them in our black hand bags and walk down the street with oversized darkglasses???
Ok your confused I know lol. I did this make up tutorial for Trashbaggery.com using my daughter as a model just to illustrate that when going to a different event or place you can muck around with different ideas for make up. You dont always have to do the same eye liner or same eye shadow, you are free to play with ideas. This is the source of being different.
Being alternative doesn't mean you have to be boring black eye liner all the time. Also the tutorial is for people who are not necessarily goth, punk or alternative but want to try the look out and do something different. (and more power to them.. the less clones we have the better if you ask me)
Firstly, let me say I am not Goth, punk or any other Label. I am a person who wears whatever I feel like wearing and look however I feel like looking on the day. If im happy im in pig tails, if im feeling pin up, im in my best rockabilly gear, if im feeling a little poetic im in my dark clothes and possibly some matching hairstyle. Ifim feeling mysterious then black all the way baby, if im working with trash glam, then they will have me decked out in the most colourful trashy outfits known to man.. (no serious you got to check trashgla.com out..awesome stuff) I love being able to express myself with how i look and im renowned for it lol.
So you can imagine my amazement when another so called goth site slammed my tutorial stating that i should stick to the dark eye shadow and eye liner..
OMG i had no idea we had clones in the alt world. I truly was under a cloud of illusion where i thought we were all individual, different and loving it.
I have so so so many amazing friends, that are amazing in their own unique ways. and they range from hard core goths, bikies, pin ups, punk and whatever else you can think off to the very norm and I love them all with all my heart. and Not one of my friends would ever slam someone for being different..
So I guess what I am trying to say or ask is, Are you being alternative just to be a part of a clique, a clone, a look a like, a mini marilyn manson?? or are you alternative to be just that... alternative aka different!! Maybe your just misunderstood and want to feel accepted? then seek therapy you douche!!!
ok i will quit ranting, love you all, promise to keep this blog updated.. sorry for my absence..
