oh, i love this topic! since ive come to tokyo ive gotten more interested in the gothic scene (inculding all the aspects, egl, lolita, rock, etc). i even met a egl and she took me to this event called a la mode last week. i wore my stephanie coudert dress (which is borderline aristocrat) and took a foot long lenore doll as my accessory. i had a great time, and some of the costumes/ outfits/ pieces were absolutely amazing. lots of androgyny as well, which was quite fascinating. i plan on going to more a la mode events in the future (there were also quite a lot of men, including older men, dressed up lolita- sweet lolita even!). had a blast.
I pulled off a very nice cute artistic type punk/goth girl before...I stopped only because it was causing a lot of problems with a few friends who are just plain...i dunno...haters???
Maybe sometime this week I'll try to see if I could still pull it off and take pics.
I love the goth style and have from time to time incorporated it into my way of dressing. I would never do full out goth though. I like going to shops such as Hot Topic and checking out the cool goth stuff they have there.

I like it when it's done right. It's very romantic and has certain depth and tragedy - all elements that produce a good human being. Some goth girls I see in the village are the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Sadly, most of these kids are in it for the scene.
These looks to me are perfect examples of how goth style can be done to perfection. It's dark, it's mysterious, it's sensual.....it comes off really naturally. The Gucci look is a bit more obvious in the gothic references with the cross and the lacing, but it still isn't overdone or forced looking. Angelina's look is perfect to me because it's what so many people think of when they think goth, dark, slim, and somewhat dangerous.
