80's Goth Nostalgia.*

so i stumbled across these images on this blog called nowthisisgothic and fell into a momentary lapse of the age-old "remember when..." nostalgic haze. i wasn't even old enough to be into this until a decade after it passed, but it still feels like a part of my heritage in a weird way. i wish real goth kids still looked this cool....*



thorston & friend, cermany. (who knows who this kid is, but he is only of the only non-band-related faces on the web from this time period.

Amsterdam Steez.*

Prep School.*

Multiple Personalities.*

while preparing for our upcoming and highly anticipated road trip through the south, i consider how i may very well stick out in swampy bayou towns full of good old boys with guns and missing teeth. this, of course, is a huge generalization and sounds quite ignorant, i know. i could find myself totally surprised. new orleans, baton rouge, birmingham, charelston, savannah, jackson, memphis, mobile....so many places to see. sometimes i dress like a grandma, and sometimes an art teacher. sometimes, a retro librarian, and sometimes like i'm 13 again.... what do i want to put out there, and how do i want to represent myself in this totally foreign place where i can try to be anonymous or stick out like a sore thumb? i wouldn't give it so much thought if i didn't have any tricks up my sleeves....heres hoping for beautiful photo ops....*
