I DEFINITELY think only those with dark hair can look ok in the Goth thing. Black sure does nothing for me. Pastels...yes. My step-daughter moved in with us in 2001 and she thought "Daddy" was going to let her buy anything & everything in the Gothic store "Hot Topic." She said "it's essential!" Dad told her to wait till school started to see if she still felt that way. Her tune did change. And we weren't going to buy "Gothic ESSENTALS" LOL ... anyway. T-shirts & jeans became her style quickly.
I've noticed that, since the 1980s, with girls and women... anything goes these days!
The ONLY "in" thing I've noticed on tv or in towns... is girls under 30 who are thin ... they wear the low-cut jeans (enough for belly-button to show) with big belts and shorter tops.
My one niece (as a teen and early 20s) was definitely anti-fashion. She's 30 now & a teacher so she dresses accordingly.
I'm at the age where I'm old enough not to be anti-fashion. Or into fashion. No extremes. Just nice clothing.
My ONLY change has been ... that "prior" to 8 yrs ago ... I wouldn't be caught dead in sweat pants or polyester/cotton pants. JEANS ONLY. Every color imaginable but JEANS ONLY in winter. In summer I've been wearing cullottes/pedal-pushers/capris or the name du jour of those that go to the knee to cover my leg bag which I wear on my thigh in summer. My 25th yr of doing that. Capris seem to be in style every summer lately anyway.
I like Amanda Quick's Gothic Romance novels .... and gothic history. But as "fashion" or "not" ... not high on my priority scale. Especially spending 5 months in bed for a wound. UTIs and staying alive.

I can't speak for everyone, but the Goth image displays me, it's who I am. One thing I hate though is when people "follow the fashion" - I change styles to remain unique! hehe
 Rubbish piccy I know, but what do you think?! Bet you never expected ever to see a Gothic Smurf in this lifetime!
Love Smurf xxx
