Pre-Halloween Goth Edition
Flaming apocalypse, eternal twilight war, UUT, global meltdown, Chinese Rose Parade ... now "How to Make a
Gothic Fairy Costume" as prominently linked courtesy of my "iGoogle" news as today's "How To:"
4. Buy or put together your outfit. Use Walmart, Kmart, and thrift stores to your advantage, but don't forget about your own closet. In a pinch the basic black dress that accompanies most witch and vampire costumes will work as a base. ... 9. Wear bold jewelry that doesn't compete with your makeup. Chains and oversized rings are good. Anything occult-looking, like dragons or pentacles, is fun to add to a goth fairy costume. Don't forget hair ornaments, especially if you didn't put colored streaks in your hair.

Amen.
I saw a bunch of "goth" costumes at the crappy Halloween store by Aarvarks. Most of it looked like shit from Hot Topic repackaged in plastic bags, they even had poorly made bondage jackets for kids. Incidently everything was made in China.
"Do criticize people on their musical taste. If some metal head tries to talk to you, give him the finger and say "Get bent, poser". This will give you many a goth credits."
Awesome.
That store next to Aardvarks does indeed suck.
