#aesthetic and Mai whos goth chic

[sweethoneyrose83]

Dialogue prompts for a preppy goth girl dark, edgy attitude. She’s confident, witty, and unapologetically herself:

"Oh, you thought I was all pastels and pearls? Guess again, sweetheart."

"I may wear a skirt, but don't mistake me for someone who won’t kick your ass in these platform boots."

"Just because I like skulls and lace doesn’t mean I can’t ace my calculus test. I contain multitudes, darling."

"There’s nothing quite like sipping tea while contemplating the void, don’t you agree?"

"If it’s not black, is it really worth wearing? But okay, maybe a touch of crimson for drama."

"Who says you can't mix Chanel with a touch of cemetery chic? Fashion rules are for the unimaginative."

"Some people pray for the weekend—I pray for thunderstorms and good coffee."

"Oh, this cross necklace? It’s more about the aesthetic than the faith."

"Just because I have a black heart doesn’t mean I don’t love pink velvet curtains."

"Yes, I’m aware it’s sunny out, but I’ve got SPF 100 and an umbrella, so who’s really winning?"

"You know, I usually don’t do sunlight… but for you, I might make an exception."

"If you’re trying to impress me, you’re going to have to do better than quoting Edgar Allan Poe."

"I’d say you look cute when you’re nervous, but that would imply I’m interested. Or am I?"

"Careful, darling, I bite. But only if you’re lucky."

"You look like you belong in a museum… of curiosities. Want to grab coffee sometime?"

"Oh no, I’m trembling in my combat boots. Whatever shall I do?"

"If I had a nickel for every time someone called me ‘weird,’ I’d buy a castle in Transylvania."

"Please, tell me more about how you think I should dress. I’m absolutely dying to hear it."

"The world may be going to hell, but at least my eyeliner is on point."

"Life is short. Might as well look fabulous while the apocalypse happens."

"I don’t dress like this to stand out—I dress like this because it feels like me."

"Sometimes, the prettiest roses have the sharpest thorns. I’m just embracing both sides."

"You say it’s ‘just a phase,’ but I’ve been this way for years. Funny how phases can turn into lifetimes."

"People think darkness is all bad, but sometimes it’s just… peaceful. No expectations, no masks."

"I guess you could say I’m a romantic at heart—just a bit more into moonlit graveyards than candlelit dinners."

"I hear you’re into horror movies. Want to see one in real life? Just look at my family dinner table."

"You think my style is dark? Wait until you see my sense of humor."

"Oh, I’m not evil; I’m just… creatively misunderstood."

"Trust me, I could be a lot worse. But it’s not Halloween yet."

"If I had a dollar for every time I was called a ‘witch,’ I’d have enough for a whole potion shop."

The Goths

Greetings, Gothic enthusiasts, and interior design critics! Today, we're venturing into the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," where mansions crumble faster than a game of Jenga, family drama is as twisted as a pretzel, and everyone seems to have a flair for interior decorating that would make Martha Stewart reconsider her life choices. Join me on this sarcastic journey through the haunted halls of Usher, as we explore how this Gothic masterpiece relates to early American times and our own modern-day domestic nightmares.

Roderick Usher, the man who proves that home renovation projects can lead to more than just a Pinterest fail. In the grandiose halls of the Usher mansion, where every creak echoes like the ghost of an HGTV host weeping, Roderick's attempts at DIY interior design result in a home that makes the Winchester Mystery House look like a model of practical architecture.

Madeline Usher, the queen of family drama with a plot twist more shocking than a reality TV finale. In the gloomy shadows of the Usher estate, where secrets are as abundant as cobwebs, Madeline's grand entrance is the stuff of early American soap operas. Move over, Downton Abbey; the Ushers were serving drama before it was cool.

The Usher mansion's aesthetic is the OG haunted house chic, inspiring generations of horror enthusiasts. Fast forward to today, where homeowners embrace the haunted house aesthetic in the form of distressed furniture, peeling wallpaper, and ghostly moans that may or may not be the central heating acting up.

The Ushers had a family curse that makes modern family dynamics look like a Disney sitcom. In early America, where family feuds were as common as smallpox, the Usher curse takes the cake. Forget sibling rivalry; Roderick and Madeline redefine "sibling goals" in a way that would make the Kardashians nod in approval.

Roderick's melancholia is the early American version of "emo" before it became a music genre. In the depths of the Usher mansion, where gloominess is both an aesthetic and a lifestyle, Roderick sets the mood for centuries to come. Move over, Hot Topic; Roderick was the original purveyor of melancholic vibes.

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is a sarcastically dark comedy of family drama, haunted house aesthetics, and questionable interior design choices. So, the next time you find yourself contemplating a home renovation or caught up in family melodrama, remember: the Ushers did it first, and they did it with Gothic flair. Stay sarcastic, my haunted home enthusiasts!

Guide

Well, hello, friend. 🙂

I will try to remember to put trigger warnings at the beginning of posts, but if they are not there, try checking the #’s. Just proceed with caution.

This will pretty much be just a self guide if I actually stay consistent:

# vent - Posts about me venting and expressing my negative emotions.

# rant - Posts that are (about) ranting.

# depression - Posts surrounding depression. I’ll talk about symptoms, how its effected my life, and more general aspects of depression. I may even talk about depressive desires.

# anxiety - Posts surrounding anxiety. Much of what I will talk about surrounds social anxiety and smaller aspects of life I struggle with. I may go into some detail as to why I feel as though I have it and my symptoms.

# writing - Posts surrounding my personal writings or reblog writings.

# art - Posts surrounding my personal drawings or reblog art.

I may add onto this if I feel its needed. I don’t know if I can claim if something is abuse so please take this as your trigger warning. I will have strong language; sometimes the emotions we put behind swearing is the only way we know how to express ourselves. Will I make over-generalizations? Possibly. Will I talk about controversial concepts? Probably.

Personal info:

I am 18+. Plz no children.

I don’t know who I am, I struggle with individuality. Use any pronoun/gendered terms you wish. I do consider myself queer/lqbt+. You could consider me alt.

Admittedly, I am dumb and naïve. I do not have a good foundation of life.

I am yt, so while I am open to talking about race issues or topics, I do not have any lived experiences to base my opinions on (except witnessing racism). I do try to keep myself informed on topics and if I am wrong, tell me. Please do not allow yourself to feel burdened on my behalf, point me in the right direction and I will put effort into research.

Don’t have many friends or family I am comfortable with.

I am in therapy. It was suggested that if I struggled with in-person socialization, I at least keep myself open to online. I told them I would try so here I am. I am gonna try to be consistent (meaning not give up after the initial commitment).

Please call me out on my bs.

General Interests(?):

Details - I just really like details. I don’t know why, I just like seeing a lot of details. It may be associated with the amount of work and effort put into something, which then leads me to placing more value onto it. I don’t know. 

Horror/Blood/Gore - From creepypasta to slashers to real life.

Deity/Religion/Spirituality/Myth Talks - Open to religious talks, but I don’t want to argue who is right or wrong. I just want to learn.

Psychology and Mental Health - Maybe its because I am mentally ill myself, but there is something so beautiful(?) about the brain even when its at its worst.

Escapism - I have separated myself from the real world for at least a decade now.

Art and Writing - fan-work is valid and fun.

Aesthetics - Examples like Cutegore or Goth. I love seeing multiple forms of self expression. Just keep Poorcore/Poor Chic or anything like that out of here.

Animals - Real, fantasy. Fluffy, scaly, feathery, give me anything. Facts, development, relationships, pictures.

Anime - I haven’t watched many in a while but I am willing to try to develop an interest in anything. I used to be a pretty big fan of Ouran Highschool Host Club, Assassination Highschool, My Hero Academia, Black Butler, Hetalia: Axis Powers(?), and Death Note.

Video Games - I’ve played phone games like Twisted Wonderland, Obey Me, Mystsic Messenger. Also, I’ve played Pokémon, Minecraft, Sims (mainly 3 & 4, didn’t have it in the supposed glory days of 2), Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Kirby Dreamland (or something like that), Club Penguin (light of my life), Call of Duty, Doom (kinda),  and even Roblox. Don’t really have the money to by stuff and sometimes my interests have been more on the ability to create an interest in character design (personality, background, physical design, etc.) sooo.

Music - I’ll try out any genre. I like music made for fun, by fans, or act as internal expression. There is a slight preference for lullabies, video games, and queer-alt. They make it so easy to dissasociate.

YouTube (In no particular order and while I do not have a TikTok, creators overlap with one another.) - Technoblade Never Dies, Markiplier, Jackcepticeye, Twisted Minds, Nexpo, David Firth, Trixie Mattel, Rain Paris, Tori Phantom, Mothica, Michelle McDaniel, Melanie Martinez, Penguinz0, The Theorists with Mat Pat (watch all four/five channels, sometimes), Flamingo, SenyaiGrubs, JeGaysus, FootlessJo, MegaGoneFree, Chrissy Chlapecka, Derivakat, Annapantsu, Nick DiRamio, TheVolgun, CinnamonToastKen, abitfrank, The Speech Prof, Dead Meat (binge watch their videos), Cindy Chen Designs, Atozy, Brandon Rogers, Roanoke Gaming, B.Dylan Hollis, Zet0r, Jazmin Bean, Jammidodger, Genetically Modified Skeptic, U N D E R D O G S., Bob The Drag Queen, thequeenpriyanka, shiv_sewlal, Lovejoy, Viced Rhino, Primink.

Having some trouble picking things your muse enjoys or likes to do? Well, here’s some ideas how! Look at what’s around you right now, and get ideas from that. For instance, next to me is a lamp. Maybe your muse could be interested in antique or kitschy lamps, or collect nightlights, or be interested in interior design. My TV is also nearby. Maybe your muse has a favorite show, or wants to write for television, or is on their school’s news team, or is good with electronic things. My plush unicorn is nearby me too. Maybe your muse collects plushes, or unicorn items, or loves fantasy, or loves equines. My knit hat is perched on the back of my chair as I type this. Maybe your muse knits, or has an interest in millinery, or likes fashion, or does outdoor sports in winter that require a hat. See how easy this is once you get going? Another way is to look at the lifestyle your muse has, as well as the lifestyle that they WANT to have. A girl who lives out in the country on her family’s farm might be all about chickens and livestock and doing outdoorsy farm things…or she might long for glamorous city life. A high society debutante might adore the fancy parties and rubbing shoulders with her upper crust peers…or she might romanticize the “common life” and want to be a part of that instead. Let’s examine those four girls. The country mouse that loves her lot in life might do a lot of 4H shows, keep a garden, go riding or hunting, take long walks through the fields and farmlands, breed her own chickens/dogs/rabbits/etc. She probably also has some sewing skills to keep her clothes in repair until the next time they can afford to buy new ones. The country mouse that longs for the city might also have sewing skills, but uses them to try to emulate the urban fashions from the chic magazines she hoards, loves watching shows and reading novels set in the big city, and is saving up to get away there herself. The debutante that loves her life is probably very fashion-conscious, keeps up to date with the latest people to be seen with and places to be seen at, and is probably a member of some kind of social clubs where she plays preppy sports like polo, tennis, and golf, as well as expensive ski trips in winter and yachting in the summer. The Rebellious Princess, however, might shun these activities and instead sneak out at night to go to the “wrong side of the tracks” and do things that she perceives as the height of bad behavior, such as dive bars, pool, crazy clubs, maybe even something as declasse as wrestling matches, rock concerts, and monster truck rallies! She’s probably fashion-conscious too, but in a different way; she wants to look like a BAD girl, in the latest biker boots and punk jewelry she made out of safety pins. Or she might not dare go out and play the part, but does have an interest in anything that speaks to her desires, be it music, movies, or books. Looking at what job your character has or wants to have can also give you some ideas about they enjoy. For instance, if someone wants to be a writer, it’s a safe bet they probably have a passion for reading, and from that you can choose what kinds of genres they enjoy, and get other interest from that. For instance, a fantasy reader might like other fantasy-related things such as Ren Faires or fantasy-based art or historical costuming. Or perhaps their interest in, say, learning Elvish comes with a passion for languages as well, or their interest in fictional dynasties suggests they might like studying real royalty too. Whereas a sci-fi reader might enjoy speculative biology about what alien species might exist, or building models of fictional spacecrafts. Someone who became a lawyer might have a strong interest in justice, so that might influence what kind of media they consume. Someone who is a wildlife biologist probably has an interest in animals in some way which can lead to various other hobbies as well as science. Other good ways to get ideas is to look at places such as AskReddit and search for topics like “What are your interests?” or browse Tumblrs and see what people are into, look at aesthetics and moodboards, and pick things from them that you feel suits your character. If you know your character’s zodiac or something similar, you could look up common interests of that sign/MBTI group/etc (though feel free of course to take interests more common to other signs/groups/etc!) As I said in the CHARACTER HOBBIES post, ignore stereotypes. I love fashion, and I love comic books, and I love getting dirty with animals. Some people think that if you like something “nerdy” like comics, you must have no sense of style and never go outside. These same people probably think that people who like fashion also sneer at “nerdy” things and shriek at the thought of fur getting on their fancy duds. Obviously, I prove this is not the case, and I’m not the Special Snowflake who is the sole exception to this rule either. For instance, at my high school, the star quarterback on the football team was also in drama club and was a TERRIFIC actor. So don’t feel that just because your muse likes a certain thing means they have to be a certain kind of person or can’t like other things. It is perfectly fine for your muse to enjoy both academic literature and gossip tabloids, classical music and the latest pop, French indie cinema and rubber sci-fi monster movies. Jocks can like art, preps can like poetry, goths can like things that AREN’T black. What social group your muse falls into (though they’re rarely that cut-and-dried in real life as media makes tem out) might help give you some hints about what they MAY be into (for instance, a Goth can like things that aren’t black, but they also probably like a lot of things that are, or else Goth probably wouldn’t appeal to them) but it shouldn’t become a box. Go with what fits your muse as an individual!

Password: jimmy can fast pass my ass ;)) Character that you’re applying for: Esther Stoley Favourite ships for your character: Esther / Chemistry

in character info

Full name: Esther Lyn Stoley Birthday: June 18th Sexuality, gender, pronouns: Bicurious, cis female, she / her Age and grade: 17, senior Faceclaim: Ha Young / @dull_ouuo on instagram Appearance:  Head / face: Smooth, nearly flawless, pale skin is the product of Esther���s constant skin care routine and her jet black, shoulder length hair frames her heart shaped face. Her features are soft but defined with a jaw line that could cut diamonds. Her eyes are a deep brown, followed by a button nose, and plump lips that are, more often than not, lightly coated in lip tint. Her only “imperfections” are two small moles – one on her left cheek, and the other on the left side of her nose.

Body: Her body is rather thin, but still healthy. She stands at approximately 5’1 and weighs about 102 pounds. She hates the fact that she’s so short, and would definitely fight you if you start picking on her about her height. Aside from her height issues, she is happy with her body.

Style: The clothing that Esther chooses to wear can be described Asian Street Style. Her outfits are self-described as eclectic and eccentric – which essentially means each ensemble varies and can possibly be viewed as strange or extraordinary, especially for the South Park norm. Her face is often lightly painted with makeup – her eyes are usually lined with a dark brown or black and have either light or neutral colored eye shadow, and her lips vary from dark, matte lipsticks ( usually shades of red ) to soft, glossy tints. Personality:  Smart, conniving, hopeless romantic, and chic – that’s Esther. She maintains straight A’s in school with the occasional B plus, but anything below won’t satisfy her need for success, so she tries her hardest and can often be found locked in her room, listening to music and studying for her next quiz. Despite her smarts, she can often be a bit air-headed and forgetful at times – which stresses her out, especially when she knows that she had forgotten something and she just can’t remember what it was, no matter how hard she wracked her brain. She often dreams about finding love – but she usually doesn’t put herself out there as much as she should – so she usually doesn’t get into relationships ( although she does had the occasional secret fling ).

She can be found at parties quite regularly, but she is more of an introvert and would much rather be snuggled up in a big, fluffy, fresh-out-of-the-dryer blanket with a plethora of snacks at her disposal while she watches some random movies or reads some books. She does keep a lot of secrets from just about everyone – especially anyone outside of her family – she’d hate if she came upon some gossip of herself. She can be overly emotional at times – but she hardly ever shows that to anyone. On the days she feels like she’s gonna burst out into tears at any second, she stays home and locks herself in her bedroom, somehow convincing her teachers that she was bedridden and sick on those absent days. History:  Like her brother, Esther spent a good portion of her childhood immersed in a whole ‘nother world away from the mess of a town that they lived in – however, instead of comics and syfy – she indulged in love stories and cringy fantasy novels. As she got older, she started to stray away from her false world and came back into reality. She interacted more and more with the girls at her school – even becoming pretty popular and being brought into the “inner circle” of girls. Of course, a great deal of things changed over the switch from elementary to middle school – Esther even made changes to her personality. She became more secretive and hid the softer and kinder side of herself so she wouldn’t accidentally get involved with the wrong people and hurt herself and nobody would see her as weak or as easy prey. She kept her emotions to herself and acted colder to people around her. Puberty hit her like a freight train – she was covered in acne as a pre-teen and all of a sudden her skin was soft and clear with hardly any marks or blemishes in sight. Esther felt better now that she looked better ( in her opinion of course ). She started gaining a ton of positive self esteem and held herself in a way where she exuded a level of confidence. She honestly felt like a queen. As she made the transition into 12th grade, she – thankfully – kept that confidence and self esteem boost ( though she did still get emotional at times, because, who doesn’t? ), but she did start taking time away from being social to live another life through books once again. Sample paragraph:  Esther had just gotten off school and since she hadn’t had anything else to do for the day she decided to sit down and relax with a nice book. In order for her to really enjoy said book, she had to set a mood. She threw her backpack into a corner by the door and took off her shoes, running to start up a pot of coffee. The short girl quickly put on a pot of coffee and quickly and quietly, ran to her room – she shut the blinds and lit a few floral scented candles, making the room dark, but well lit enough for her to be able to read her book. She purposely messed her bed up, forming a nest of blankets in the center and ran back down to her kitchen to fix herself a cup of coffee. She poured the freshly brewed instant coffee into a teal mug, mixing in a small bit of sugar before carefully bringing it up to her bedroom and sitting it down on her nightstand. She went over to one of her several bookshelves and pulled out a book that she’d planned on reading for a while called ‘Siren’ by a woman named Janet Fox.

She went over to her blanket nest and made herself cozy, pulling one of the blankets over her shoulders. Before she started to read, she took a long sip of coffee, then she opened to the first page. For nearly two hours, she was fully immersed in her book – reading about gangsters in the 1920’s. However, as soon as her brother opened her door to see if she was home, her set mood was ruined. She accepted that she was no longer to envelope herself in as much comfort as she was in before and put her book away. She blew out the candles and allowed natural light to shine through her blinds once more as she sipped up the last bit of her coffee. Headcanons:  ✧ Sometimes, she ( not-so-secretly ) reads Kevin’s comics. ✧ She would 10/10 fight to protect her brother. ✧ If you get into a relationship with her, she can be a bit clingy, so beware. ✧ She secretly crushed on all of the Goths in middle school, with the exception of Firkle, because she thought they were all really cool. ✧ She changes her hair up every other month – it’s always one of these 3 colors – grey with slight blue tints, brown, or black. Black is by far her favorite hair color for herself and she has that color most often. ✧ She’s almost always up-to-date on the latest gossip and drama in town. ✧ She has an intense love of poetry. ✧ There’s a raven that is often in her backyard and she feeds it when she sees it. ✧ She has 3 full length bookshelves in her room and one small bookshelf that doubles as her nightstand. ✧ She may not say nor show it much but she loves Kevin with all of her heart. ✧ That being said, if anyone hurts Kevin, you better avoid Esther as much as you can or else you’re in for a beating. ✧ She knows quite a lot of Chinese; and she often shouts in Mandarin when she’s angry. ✧ She has at least 4 cups of coffee a day. ✧ She smokes when she’s stressed ( strictly cigarettes ) ✧ She lost her virginity at 15 to Bradley Biggle – not her greatest achievement. ✧ She broke up with Bradley shortly afterwards – he thinks it was mutual and they’re on good terms – but she sent him home sobbing and she would most definitely stab him if it was morally accepted and she wouldn’t go to jail for it. ✧ She has a Siamese Cat named BaoBei – meaning “baby” in Chinese. ✧ She’s head of the school newspaper. ✧ She’s considered joining the poetry club – but she doesn’t think her own poetry would be good enough for it – and so she didn’t. ✧ She took up a job at Benny’s as a waitress for some extra cash. ✧ She really likes looking at art, but she’s not really into art, if you get what I mean. ✧ She loves the vintage aesthetic. ✧She’s not the best cook, but she can microwave stuff, and that’s better than nothing. ✧ Her favorite color is dark teal. Anything else: tell me if i should change anything !! thank you guys !! also, sorry i gave such random hc’s i just got a ton of muse + ideas. in addition, this blog i’m sending from will be esther’s once i do some re-vamping uwu

Which wizarding world dragon would make for a lovely pet? - Pottermore

So you’re looking for a new pet. Have you considered a terrible, scaly, dangerous, fire-breathing dragon?

Which of the ten dragon species from the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbook would make the perfect pet – if you could actually have one? Some may argue none at all. But some may counter with the fact that they’re simply misunderstood, and would make wonderful scaly companions as long as you fire-proof your home.

So if you were a wizard, which egg would you be picking up from a mysterious stranger down the Hog’s Head pub?

Norwegian Ridgeback

Norwegian Ridgeback by Dan Mumford

If you’re in the market for one of the more popular dragons of the species, perhaps a Norwegian Ridgeback would make a welcome addition to the family. Rubeus Hagrid, noted gamekeeper at Hogwarts, made a wonderful ‘mummy’ to young Norbert, for example, but sadly did not have the space to keep him.

Why should you choose it?

Because if you love Hagrid, you’ll love a Ridgeback. But it’s probably recommended that you have a big spacious house if you are planning on keeping one, preferably one not made of wood. In fact, this advice is probably true of looking after any dragon. Also bear in mind that Ridgebacks tend to develop fire-breathing abilities between one and three months old, a lot earlier than other breeds, so will likely set any cuddly toys, cots and other items on fire. Aside from this, a Ridgeback is a lovely pet choice. Probably.

Antipodean Opaleye

Antipodean Opaleye by Dan Mumford

This New Zealand dragon is ideal for those who favour a more glamorous lifestyle, as they are known to be one of the more beautiful of their species. Of course, all dragons are beautiful in their own way. However, the Antipodean Opaleye is particularly striking with its pearly scales and multi-coloured eyes, and it even has a fabulous flame – coloured in a vivid scarlet. Très chic. The Opaleye will not just be a loyal pet, but a beautiful addition to the household.

Why should you choose it?

If you like to not be murdered by your own pet, the Antipodean Opaleye is ideal. In fact, it rarely kills unless it’s hungry. Well, we all get a bit grumpy before lunch, right? Another plus point about this dragon: its favourite food is sheep rather than, say, you. In fact, as dragons go, this one is probably the one you should all go for, to be honest.

Chinese Fireball

© JKR/Pottermore Ltd.™ Warner Bros.

This dragon is a particularly aesthetically pleasing one – especially if you’re a Gryffindor and fancy a red-and-gold pal to go with your ensemble.

Why should you choose it?

According to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, this dragon is not averse to a bit of extra company. So, if you’re looking to expand your family, maybe get two – maybe even three!

Just one small disclaimer: Chinese Fireballs do like eating humans, so be sure to bear that in mind.

Swedish Short-Snout

© JKR/Pottermore Ltd.™ Warner Bros.

The gorgeous Swedish Short-Snout is not only beautiful but practical, with the ability to reduce timber and bone to ash in mere seconds. Great if you have any spare timber or, er, bones lying around. Anyway, as far as dragons go, it rarely tends to kill humans, although that might be because it usually lives in uninhabited mountain areas. Still: credit where credit’s due.

Why should you choose it?

The Short-Snout is an excellent dragon to accessorise with, thanks to its silvery-blue scales and gorgeous blue flame. You could co-ordinate looks!

Common Welsh Green

Certainly a dragon for the more laid-back owner, the Common Welsh Green is a serene fellow, who prefers the taste of sheep rather than you. With a melodious roar and lovely brown and green speckled eggs, this is about as wholesome as you get in the world of dragons.

Why should you choose it?

Because it sounds like… dare we say, a lovely dragon. We thought ‘lovely dragon’ was an oxymoron, so this is a result.

Peruvian Vipertooth

Peruvian Vipertooth by Dan Mumford

This copper-coloured species is small yet mighty, with venomous fangs and a penchant for liking humans – and not in a nice, ‘they want to be your mate’ way. Yep, we mean in an eating you sort of way. However, it also eats goats and cows, so at least it has a varied diet.

Why should you choose it?

If you’re a bit short on space, a Peruvian Vipertooth is perfect – due to its smaller size at only a modest 15 feet. N’aww. Shame about the whole ‘eating you’ thing, mind.

Romanian Longhorn

Romanian Longhorn by Dan Mumford

The Longhorn has been through a treacherous history, with its species veering near extinction due to wizards’ interest in its powerful horn. When powdered, a Romanian Longhorn’s horn is highly valuable for potions ingredients. As such, this dragon has become closely protected in the wizarding community. Yep, who knew a dragon would need protecting, eh?

Why should you choose it?

Because this species clearly needs a good home. As in: someone not trying to sell its horns for profit.

Hebridean Black

Hebridean Black by Dan Mumford

Native to Britain, the Hebridean Black is rough-scaled with purple eyes and bat-like wings. So, it’s a goth dragon, basically. This dragon enjoys the taste of dogs, cattle and deer, and probably likes listening to heavy metal music alone in their bedroom. Okay, maybe not.

Why should you choose it?

Because it’s so cool!

Ukrainian Ironbelly

Ukranian Ironbelly by Dan Mumford

The Ironbelly dragon is the biggest of its species, known to grow to up to six tonnes in weight. As such, it’s a tad cumbersome, but probably still adorable when you get to know it.

Why should you choose it?

Because if you’re going to have a dragon, you might as well pick the biggest one.

She changed my life in ways she could fathom, although I don't have any idea who that eighth grader was.

It was I was introduced to a particular -- Fashion? Lifestyle? Fetish? -- that's since become my greatest aesthetic quirk. All men have a kind -- a few are into your regular breastaurant waitress mold, others are to the tatted up neo-pin-up template, and many others are all about the artsy-fartsy nerd chic -- and it was here, I assume, that I developed mine: the all-American goth chick.

Now, at the moment, we did not call them "goths." In actuality, we did have an term of both genders, who wore three pounds of eyeliner everyday and wore all donned spiky jewellery. Some called them "the other children," some called them "skaters" (which none of them possessed skateboards, apparently, meant very little) but by and large, the other students called them as either "the freaks" or "the weirdos." The rest of the kids before Columbine -- were terrified. Rumors spread that They did needle drugs and hung out together on the weekends and practiced magic charms. While blaring Marilyn Manson they chainsawed hobos behind Costco to passing. Granted, the worst items they actually did was smoke cigarettes away from the movie theater and perhaps shoplift a couple of malt liquors, but they embraced the paranoia and dread the other pupils fostered for them. In a way, it made them over the junior high totem, which makes them a more effective caste system force than even the preppiest of preps.

And there was something about that I discovered inherently attractive. I found them alluring, while everybody found the women to be terrifying. Others believed their morbid, sadsack dispositions was the turnoff, but I thought it strangely entranced.

She was the first crush of my own adolescence. Even now, I've no hint what her name was, but I won't ever forget seeing her at the bus stop for the first time. Curling her auburn coif out of her eyes -- showing a pair of peppers outlined in what I presumed was an whole bottle of dollar store lashes -- she smiled a sinister smile and asked me, with the playful lunacy of Harley Quinn, "what you staring at, curly?"



I never reacted. But each time she saw me in the hallway, she would take me that half-playful, half-evil smile and say something along the lines of "hello, curled, how you doing?" I guess she thought she was freaking me, but deep down, I adored the focus (god knows, she was the only girl in the sixth grade who ever acknowledged my life.) Forget tans, forget the blindingly blonde hair and forget that all too dull "girl next door" look -- I was eternally enamored by the women who seemed more Morticia Addams compared to Christina Aguilera.

During high school and college, I more or less homed in on each of the pale girls who wore Invader Zim tops and loathed their parents. Really, my very first makeout was having a woman wearing a literal pentagram on her brow and I had been introduced to the joys of carnal pleasure with a young woman whose whole makeup chest was full of nothing but novelty Halloween lipsticks and nail polishes. Throughout these relationship sojourns, I discovered a seldom spoken truth concerning the "goth girl" motif/stereotype. Actually, I soon learned that there are really five genuses of goth woman, each with her Own idiosyncratic quirks:

THE RICH, SUBURBAN GOTH -- Her father makes $150,000 a year and her mother lets her spend $500 at a time on naturally Hot Topics buys (usually, Hello Kitty-branded lip gloss and anime-inspired belt buckles.) Really, she likes to wear a lot, although she claims to be a poetic soul. She's at least three Nightmare Before Christmas posters in her room along with the heaviest ring she listens to is AFI.

THE POOR, ANTI-SOCIAL GOTH -- She lives in a trailer park, works part-time in the local grocery store or hole in the wall restaurant (usually on the rear of the home -- they do not want her spider tattoos creeping out the clients) and has attempted at least 80 percent of all of the drugs known to man. The only thing in her handbag are the cigarettes at 7-Eleven, a few wadded bills and a switchblade. She will break up, if she does not have at least one felony on her record.

THE ARTISANAL GOTH -- She gets good grades, she is most likely the best actress in the theatre department and she spends her evenings studying Dante's Inferno from the original Italian, as it is more atmospheric like that. Her dream is to obtain a art endowment to produce the world's biggest ball of sculpture.

THE FASHIONISTA GOTH -- She's hyper-concerned about her looks. You absolutely can't leave the home till she has her winged eyeliner down. Every day she paints her nails and she makes at least one visit to Ulta. From the time she graduates college, she is usually evolved into a "health goth" or abandoned the aesthetics entirely for a new lifestyle that allots for pink and yellow wardrobe options.

THE UNKEMPT GOTH -- The reverse of this fashionista goth. She apparently just wants to kiss you shortly after she sucked down a Camel cigarette or peeled off her lips her dragon-shaped bong. Her jewelry is pewter, she farts in public and she spends at least half of their afternoon playing League of Legends. She like the poor goth, except sans the penchant for criminality. After all, to do so you must get up off the couch.

Yeah, sometimes you get a mix of three or two of these, but by and large? Each subset has its advantages and disadvantages, its flaws and benefits, something to admire and love and something to detest and hate. And men, I think you owe it yourself to experience all five of those sub-goths before you get your bachelor's degree. Why? Because goth women -- for better or worse -- represent the most varied range of feminine character types. While some are pretentious and -- ironically -- stuck-up some are cool. They will make you laugh, they will make you cry, they will make you think notions that are existential that are profound and they will -- by design, perhaps -- make you want to kill yourself. Even as fleeting, transitory relationships, they offer you something to consider about both the fairer sex and that what you are as an individual. You date nothing but club women or cheerleaders or nerds for a year, and you won't learn any nobler truths. Spend a year dating only goth women, however, and an whole cosmos of previously unrevealed knowledge befalls you. Hell, you may even find one which is just the ideal match, and who knows?

But maybe the biggest motive to date goth women even though you're a young dude? Because, to put it simply, existing at age 25 stops. They're professionals today, and they must terraform themselves to that dull, staid, office drone appearance. Adios blouse with sayonara eggplant eyeshadow and the shoulder pads. The ring comes out, the Doc Martens proceed the Cureshirts and the thrift shop are locked away never to see the light of day. You can always locate a bubbly cheerleader or artsy geek kind when you're 30 and 40. But the red-blooded goth? You have got up until your senior year in school, and that is pretty much your last opportunity to land one your own age.

For those of you have been pursuing a darker kind? Bear in mind, the clock is running out, and the sands of time are falling by a lot. And you don't need to visit your grave not knowing what it is like to make out with a woman wearing lipstick to midnight, do you?

Taxidermy Couture

Article by Lauren Weigle

Photo by Rebecca Schmidt

Taxidermy Couture was definitely a must-have for me once I came across it.  Its art mixed with Goth mixed with glamour mixed with vintage mixed with...well, everything!  The point is that the collections are hot and almost entirely made up of one-of-a-kind pieces.  So, if you see something you like you better snatch it up fast as it may be gone tomorrow.  On the other hand, no one else will have the same gorgeous and unique accessory as you will, which makes each piece even more special.

Let’s talk about the Latin phrase “memento mori” and what it means in terms of Taxidermy Couture.

Memento mori means "Remember you must one day die". It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose, to remind people of their own mortality and the punishment they will receive if they transgress the rules of their religion. A phrase that has had a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity. I always say my work is "Memento mori inspired" because I personally am not trying to remind people or their punishment when they die. In fact, I'm not one for religion at all. I was raised Catholic and was forced to go to church every Sunday until I left home at 17, but the silver lining was being able to spend an hour every week staring at beautiful art, art that still inspires me to this day… obviously. As far as the connection between memento mori and Taxidermy Couture... well, my use of animal skulls, teeth, and bones would make anyone think about death.

Pretty intense, just like the name of your label.  How did you come up with the brand’s name?

Originally I called my line "Morbid beauty", but it just didn't feel right; it felt very "Goth" to me. Yes, a large amount of my work has a Gothic feel, and I love that. However, I don't want to pigeon-hole myself into a set aesthetic. Some days I'm super vamp, some days I'm a modern hippie, and other days I'm something I don't have a term for. I am, however, extremely into high fashion and art so I felt "Taxidermy Couture" simply described the work much more, and will continue to do so no matter what direction I go in the future.

Tell me about the woman behind the company, Marya.

That's a hard one! As of [December] I am now Marya, the wife. I am happier than I have ever been before in my entire life! We went to Vegas with 10 friends and had the best time! Other than that it changes all the time. I try to dip my toe in anything and everything that interests me.

Speaking of interests, I want to hear all about your musical alter ego!  Spill it!

Valium Valentine, my pop culture alter ego! She was born a year ago and sadly we only got 3 songs done.  You can find them on Myspace. We (my husband and I) LOVE all kinds of music and wanted to just play. However, once it got started I kind of took over and so we decided it was my baby. I want to make a few more songs before she dies... But, we have another secret band we have been working on, so it can be hard to put your mind in two completely different creative places at the same time. My husband and I will always make music, no matter who hears it. Its funny talking about "my music" when I have some close friends in legit bands, they actually make a living making music and touring. If I ever had the chance to go on tour as a performer I'd jump on it.

Do you think your love of music ever inspires some of your pieces for Taxidermy Couture?

How could it not!? I name pieces after songs or bands all the time. I do a series of multi-chain necklaces with my signature mink tooth lockets and other "vampire inspired" charms, no two are the same, but they all share the name "Vampire Weekend". Aside from that, I think the music world has a huge part to play in fashion. I can't help but be influenced by music; it sets a mood. Bands I loved growing up are probably why I started getting tattoos and wore chucks, so yes, music inspires many a Taxidermy Couture piece.

You also style and cut hair.  Is there anything you don’t do?!

Well, when I was really young I want to be a fashion designer. I'd draw pictures of clothes all day. My mom was a super punk rock chic, purple and green hair, made all her clothes, made jewelry out of scrap metal she'd find on the street, etc. Since the age of 11 she'd ask me to cut her hair. I won't lie. I had a natural knack for it. By age 14 I could do a perfect bob. So, when I turned 18 and had been living on my own for almost a year, I decided I needed to figure out what career path to go in. Hair just made the most sense, and I loved it. Not to mention, Cosmetology school was a hell of a lot less money than college, and I grew up really poor so the thought of debt was scary. I've worked in so many salons over the past ten years. My favorite was Ultra Salon in Manhattan, NY.  I worked there for four years before calling it quits and crossing over to freelance. I did the hair for two Rapture music videos a few years back. As of now I turned our dining room into a mini-salon. I really love working for myself from home, I'm not a conventional person.

Conventional is way overrated.  So, Marya, why is it exactly that you are drawn to things like teeth and animal skulls?

I am very drawn to teeth. They are just so cool and creepy. I have a tooth wearing a crown tattooed on my left arm. I use a lot of bone vertebrae from various animals; they have the most amazing shapes! It seems wrong not making jewelry out of them. But my original inspiration really comes from a necklace I own. Long story short, my long lost father who I met when I was 23; we were both living in NYC and this amazing thing happened and suddenly I had the coolest father ever! Well, for my birthday he gave me this to-die-for Pade Vavra Diamond and shark tooth necklace. He knew I loved shark teeth and diamonds so, boom! Two years ago I made my first rabbit foot/shark tooth necklace for my husband. We had just started dating and he flipped out over it. That's really why I started making jewelry to sell to the public. He's an independent buyer for a clothing store in our neighborhood, so he convinced me I was talented enough to sell my work. A few months later, my Etsy store was up and running. But, I suppose I have a soft spot for things not the norm because of my mother and her friends, a bunch of young artists from Boston. I even got to be in a small independent film called "black hearts bleed red" directed by Jeri Cane Rossi. The bazaar and “oh so talented” artist Joe Coleman was also in this movie. If you aren't familiar with his work you really should Google him. I wish I had the talent this man has! All the little "weird" things about my childhood just stuck I suppose.

How are you able to take these things that, to some, can be considered dark or dismal, but create such beautiful jewelry from them?

It's all your frame of mind, to some it’s creepy and they will never be into it, no matter how pretty it is. But, to me there is nothing dark or dismal about letting these animals live on through art. I don't think any part of the animal should be wasted. Animals give us the gift of food and warmth. To me the bones and teeth are just as precious and should be respected and admired. No animals are killed for the sake of my art. All parts are from animals that have died from natural causes, or have been killed for the meat. I do eat meat, so I can't be a hypocrite.  I only use vintage fur (usually from damaged fur coats from the 1980's or older) because once I found out how they actually skin the animals alive, I couldn't morally buy new fur. I have very high standards for the materials I use, which is a HUGE part of the work that goes into these pieces. How do I make them beautiful? I don't really know... I just play with it until it becomes what it should be.

Tell me more about some of your one-of-a-kind pieces.

The majority of what I make is one-of-a-kind. And, even the pieces I can replicate aren't identical. To me, teeth and bones are like snowflakes. Because of my high standards of how the animal has died I can't place an order for X amount of jawbones at a time, so I work with what I have, when I have it. I do however do a series of animal skull necklaces that are all OOAK. No two are identical because if you are going to spend over $100 on a necklace, you don't want your best friend to buy the exact same one, right? These are special pieces to keep forever and cherish. Chains like Forever 21 make me sad, mass-produced crap that everyone has and falls apart. Not to mention, the poor children working over 8 hours a day for next to no money just so we Americans can be cheap and selfish, but that's another topic for another interview at another time.  

Well then let’s stick to things like some of your vintage-inspired pieces.  Can you tell me a little about those as well?

Well, I use a lot of vintage pieces and up-cycle them. That's another reason why most of my work is one-of-a-kind. I use a mix of new and old charms and chains. Because of my background growing up with my mother I have always thrift-shopped and had fun finding little hidden treasures at flea markets and vintage shops. It may even be in my blood. After meeting my father, I found out he originally started his long career of owning retail stores with a vintage store. I must admit that lately I've been VERY focused on my Taxidermy Couture, but now that my wedding is over I have more free time and I am planning on coming out with new vintage-inspired, non-taxidermy work soon. It all depends on my inspiration. I can't force my work or it will show, and not in a good way. Any art I make is an organic experience.

Ooh, I can’t wait for more vintage pieces!  My absolute favorites are the Vintage up-cycled Chanel earrings and the Mortality charm necklace, but it’s out of stock.  Any come-backs on the horizon for those items on your site that have already sold out?

I've had a soft spot for Chanel since I was about 20. I have enjoyed collecting Chanel earrings since then. I hate clip-on earrings so any vintage pair I can up-cycle into posts, I will. It’s funny you mention the Mortality charm necklace because one of my best friends Katy aka Kickball bought it a few months back, so I got to see her wearing it again at our wedding. She fell in love (her words) with it when we did a La Sera for Taxidermy Couture photo shoot. Luckily for me she used them as her press release photos. La Sera is her solo project. She's more known for her band "Vivian Girls". And again, that is a one-of-a-kind. Ninety percent of the materials used for that necklace were vintage parts.

I’m so jealous!  Any new ideas in the works for more killer necklaces or earrings?

I won't know until I make them, sorry. However, I am lucky that a collector in the mid-west (they are retired and go for nature excursions constantly) has decided they want to "clean out there closet" so to speak, so I have a large number of vertebrae, skulls, and wolf teeth coming in any day now!

I noticed you don’t have any bracelets or watches yet.  Ever think about including some pieces along those lines in future collections?

I've actually done a few pocket watch necklaces, all OOAK and all sold before I could even get them up on my site. I do gallery and trade shows and other events where I sell my work. I also sell my jewelry at Shotwell in Union Square, San Francisco (my current home) and at Modern Eden gallery in North Beach, SF. So, not everything makes it in my own online store. As far as bracelets, it’s funny. I've made a few, but I never really think to make more because I'm not much of a bracelet person myself. I have this thin gold wire I wear every day. Come to think of it, I might be on my third year of wearing it without ever taking it off. How funny! I never really thought about it.

So, if you weren’t doing what you’re doing, what do you think you would be?  A taxidermist?

Definitely not. I am actually squeamish. I don't think I could do any of the dirty work. If there is something I want to do, I'll try it out. However, I do love decorating. I could see myself in interior design. My husband and I love doing theme rooms in our house! We can't wait to own our own home one day and go crazy! Right now I'm starting some business classes. We want to move back to NYC and open our own small Brooklyn boutique. I'll continue to make jewelry of course, but we will fill the store up with any awesome artists’ work we can get our hands on. We're hoping this will happen within the next two years. More than half my online sales are from NYC, so that's a good sign.

‘You look like Frankenstein’

No, not scars on waxy-smooth foreheads, however hybrid items that mix 2 appears to be like into 1. On the Balenciaga catwalk was a trench sewn on to the entrance of a denim blouson, and a purple velvet jacket conjoined with a black leather-based 1. Designer Demna Gvasalia – who launched the Franken-prefix with Vetements’ cult £800 half-and-half denims 2 years in the past – stated backstage which you could select to put on both garment within the pair, for an experiment in silhouette that may be a homage to Cristobal Balenciaga himself. JCM

‘You look like asphalt shining in the rain’

Saint Laurent. Photograph: Peter White/Getty Images

This was designer Anthony Vaccarello’s description of the Saint Laurent girl this season. Rhetorically restrained it isn’t, however it’s pertinent. The prevailing look on the Saint Laurent catwalk was lamé or sequinned. There had been bizarre, fantastical creations, resembling enormous rings of leather-based that bounced like floatation gadgets round fashions’ our bodies. Skirts had been brief, heels had been excessive and the dominant hue was black. This was smudged eyeliner, chipped nail polish, still-out-at-4am-and-it’s-only-Wednesday glamour. It prompt that, for a era normally discovered at residence watching cats on YouTube, hedonism is again. HM

If anyone truly stated this to you once you had been sporting a elegant night robe from a Valentino assortment that had the viewers drooling, you’d most likely wish to hit them, however it might, in actual fact, be a praise to your on-trend color palette. Mixed-up pastels are in. Knickerbocker glory is the brand new all-black. Lilac went with blue at Balenciaga, mint with orange at Miu Miu. One of the standout appears to be like at Céline was a strawberry-pink blazer half-tucked right into a pleated lemon skirt. Do you need sprinkles with that? JCM

‘You look like you have a deep understanding of feminist art theory’

Christian Dior. Photograph: Pixelformu/SIPA/REX/Shutterstock

The first mannequin on the Christian Dior present wore a Breton shirt printed with the query: “Why have there been no great women artists?”, the title of a 1971 essay about the patriarchal barriers which have impeded girls within the arts. The present’s secondary inspiration was the feminine sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, whose chic-goth private aesthetic and paintings (damaged mirrors, swirling, vibrant patterns) had been sprinkled liberally all through the gathering. So the incendiary query emblazoned on the shirt was meant to problem assumptions, not verify them. But you bought that. Right? HM

‘You look very kirakira’

Céline. Photograph: Estrop/Getty Images

What’s that, you ask – kirakira? Seriously, the place you will have been for the previous month? Not the entrance row, that’s for positive, the place the kirakira+ app – which turns any picture of sequins right into a full-on fireworks-at-Magic-Kingdom explosion of multicoloured sparkle – is the brand new Boomerang. Timely, as a result of head-to-toe sparkle, as soon as strictly for Strictly, is now stylish. If you don’t imagine me, take Phoebe Philo’s phrase for it: when the Céline catwalk options an all-over sequin lewk, it’s formally stylish to glitter. JCM

‘You look happy’

Dries van Noten. Photograph: Pixelformu/SIPA/REX/Shutterstock

After 2 seasons of Trump-era angst, designers talked about utilizing vogue to seize pleasure the place we are able to. Dries van Noten offered a set of midi-dresses spliced with printed silk scarves in subtle colors – ochre, walnut, caramel and putty – and embellished with diamante. He stated this was a wardrobe for a lady who would have “cocktails at five”. Mulberry’s assortment was stuffed with cheerful patterns impressed by English crockery and backyard events in zingy color combos, such because the Instagram favorite of pink and inexperienced. These had been garments conceived to make clients pleased through charming design tweaks and luxe materials that really feel beautiful subsequent to the pores and skin. Just don’t anticipate the fashions to smile. HM

‘You look wonky’

Loewe. Photograph: Peter White/Getty Images

Symmetry is so passé. At Loewe and Givenchy, attire got here askew as normal. At Loewe, they’d tiny rows of buttons working over them, which got here undone on the again. At Givenchy, there have been sections of knife-edge pleats embedded into flowing skirts. The lopsided look is get together dressing for cool women: frocks which are reduce to indicate off a little bit of midriff or a little bit of leg, if the wearer choses to take action, however whose staggering magnificence and layers of material and element give them an arty, louche vibe that would by no means be present in a minidress or a crop prime. HM

‘Your shoes look comfy’

Chloé. Photograph: Peter White/Getty Images

There was a heartening Paris fashion week development for lovely or girlish attire paired with boots designed for stomping in puddles. Its apex got here at Chloé, the place floral frocks had all of the Sloaney-ness sucked out of them by robust boots performing as counterpoints. There was one thing a bit Lara Croft about these lace-ups, which sat flatteringly near the leg however had thick soles, cuban heels and rows of buckles. It was refreshing to see fashions stomp down the catwalk, fairly than wobble in spindly heels. They regarded like they may kick ass, in the event that they needed to. HM

‘You look as though you have forgotten to take the dry cleaner’s bag off your jacket’

Putting a protecting layer in your garments is the brand new taking the protecting layer off your garments. To make clear: so most of the appears to be like at Paris vogue week had a transparent plastic layer on prime of them that sure critics began to wonder if the wipe-clean aesthetic was an try at self-preservation in an unpredictable world. At Off-White there have been Jimmy Choos lined in plastic. At Balmain there have been clear zip-up pencil skirts worn over huge black knickers. At Chanel there have been see-through boots and see-through ponchos (why work exhausting to create a glance then cowl it up with a coat?). What’s for positive is that that is extra wearable than it sounds. See Blade Runner 2049 for particulars, by which Joi’s coat is prone to be essentially the most covetable merchandise of outerwear worn by a hologram on display this 12 months. HM

She changed my life in ways she could fathom, although I don't have any idea who that eighth grader was.

It was I was introduced to a particular -- Fashion? Lifestyle? Fetish? -- that's since become my greatest aesthetic quirk. All men have a kind -- a few are into your regular breastaurant waitress mold, others are to the tatted up neo-pin-up template, and many others are all about the artsy-fartsy nerd chic -- and it was here, I assume, that I developed mine: the all-American goth chick.

Now, at the moment, we did not call them "goths." In actuality, we did have an term of both genders, who wore three pounds of eyeliner everyday and wore all donned spiky jewellery. Some called them "the other children," some called them "skaters" (which none of them possessed skateboards, apparently, meant very little) but by and large, the other students called them as either "the freaks" or "the weirdos." The rest of the kids before Columbine -- were terrified. Rumors spread that They did needle drugs and hung out together on the weekends and practiced magic charms. While blaring Marilyn Manson they chainsawed hobos behind Costco to passing. Granted, the worst items they actually did was smoke cigarettes away from the movie theater and perhaps shoplift a couple of malt liquors, but they embraced the paranoia and dread the other pupils fostered for them. In a way, it made them over the junior high totem, which makes them a more effective caste system force than even the preppiest of preps.

And there was something about that I discovered inherently attractive. I found them alluring, while everybody found the women to be terrifying. Others believed their morbid, sadsack dispositions was the turnoff, but I thought it strangely entranced.

She was the first crush of my own adolescence. Even now, I've no hint what her name was, but I won't ever forget seeing her at the bus stop for the first time. Curling her auburn coif out of her eyes -- showing a pair of peppers outlined in what I presumed was an whole bottle of dollar store lashes -- she smiled a sinister smile and asked me, with the playful lunacy of Harley Quinn, "what you staring at, curly?"



I never reacted. But each time she saw me in the hallway, she would take me that half-playful, half-evil smile and say something along the lines of "hello, curled, how you doing?" I guess she thought she was freaking me, but deep down, I adored the focus (god knows, she was the only girl in the sixth grade who ever acknowledged my life.) Forget tans, forget the blindingly blonde hair and forget that all too dull "girl next door" look -- I was eternally enamored by the women who seemed more Morticia Addams compared to Christina Aguilera.

During high school and college, I more or less homed in on each of the pale girls who wore Invader Zim tops and loathed their parents. Really, my very first makeout was having a woman wearing a literal pentagram on her brow and I had been introduced to the joys of carnal pleasure with a young woman whose whole makeup chest was full of nothing but novelty Halloween lipsticks and nail polishes. Throughout these relationship sojourns, I discovered a seldom spoken truth concerning the "goth girl" motif/stereotype. Actually, I soon learned that there are really five genuses of goth woman, each with her Own idiosyncratic quirks:

THE RICH, SUBURBAN GOTH -- Her father makes $150,000 a year and her mother lets her spend $500 at a time on naturally Hot Topics buys (usually, Hello Kitty-branded lip gloss and anime-inspired belt buckles.) Really, she likes to wear a lot, although she claims to be a poetic soul. She's at least three Nightmare Before Christmas posters in her room along with the heaviest ring she listens to is AFI.

THE POOR, ANTI-SOCIAL GOTH -- She lives in a trailer park, works part-time in the local grocery store or hole in the wall restaurant (usually on the rear of the home -- they do not want her spider tattoos creeping out the clients) and has attempted at least 80 percent of all of the drugs known to man. The only thing in her handbag are the cigarettes at 7-Eleven, a few wadded bills and a switchblade. She will break up, if she does not have at least one felony on her record.

THE ARTISANAL GOTH -- She gets good grades, she is most likely the best actress in the theatre department and she spends her evenings studying Dante's Inferno from the original Italian, as it is more atmospheric like that. Her dream is to obtain a art endowment to produce the world's biggest ball of sculpture.

THE FASHIONISTA GOTH -- She's hyper-concerned about her looks. You absolutely can't leave the home till she has her winged eyeliner down. Every day she paints her nails and she makes at least one visit to Ulta. From the time she graduates college, she is usually evolved into a "health goth" or abandoned the aesthetics entirely for a new lifestyle that allots for pink and yellow wardrobe options.

THE UNKEMPT GOTH -- The reverse of this fashionista goth. She apparently just wants to kiss you shortly after she sucked down a Camel cigarette or peeled off her lips her dragon-shaped bong. Her jewelry is pewter, she farts in public and she spends at least half of their afternoon playing League of Legends. She like the poor goth, except sans the penchant for criminality. After all, to do so you must get up off the couch.

Yeah, sometimes you get a mix of three or two of these, but by and large? Each subset has its advantages and disadvantages, its flaws and benefits, something to admire and love and something to detest and hate. And men, I think you owe it yourself to experience all five of those sub-goths before you get your bachelor's degree. Why? Because goth women -- for better or worse -- represent the most varied range of feminine character types. While some are pretentious and -- ironically -- stuck-up some are cool. They will make you laugh, they will make you cry, they will make you think notions that are existential that are profound and they will -- by design, perhaps -- make you want to kill yourself. Even as fleeting, transitory relationships, they offer you something to consider about both the fairer sex and that what you are as an individual. You date nothing but club women or cheerleaders or nerds for a year, and you won't learn any nobler truths. Spend a year dating only goth women, however, and an whole cosmos of previously unrevealed knowledge befalls you. Hell, you may even find one which is just the ideal match, and who knows?

But maybe the biggest motive to date goth women even though you're a young dude? Because, to put it simply, existing at age 25 stops. They're professionals today, and they must terraform themselves to that dull, staid, office drone appearance. Adios blouse with sayonara eggplant eyeshadow and the shoulder pads. The ring comes out, the Doc Martens proceed the Cureshirts and the thrift shop are locked away never to see the light of day. You can always locate a bubbly cheerleader or artsy geek kind when you're 30 and 40. But the red-blooded goth? You have got up until your senior year in school, and that is pretty much your last opportunity to land one your own age.

For those of you have been pursuing a darker kind? Bear in mind, the clock is running out, and the sands of time are falling by a lot. And you don't need to visit your grave not knowing what it is like to make out with a woman wearing lipstick to midnight, do you?
