Two Non-Uniform Days! :D

Ah, non-uniform day. The time when people can wear their own clothes, and everyone can coo over the fact that their friend looks like a holister advert. Well, whatever makes them happy...But for us gothy types, our outfits are quite different...

This is the top part of what I wore for yesterdays non-uniform day :) The gloves are made from old legwarmers, and the dress is from Punky Fish 

This is the full dress (I'm also wearing purple leggings)

This is the one for today. It's hard to see but the top is brown and long sleeved, (a gift from my late grandma) with a black top that I cut the sleeves off. 

You can see the top a bit better here. 

This is the skirt :) I got it from my mum, the petticoat underneath it was originally from our halloween box (Who would put a petticoat in a halloween box?) and the boots are from my sister. 

According to my friends I looked very pretty both days ^^. Also, some people seem to think that saying 'Goth' or 'Gothic Type' very loudly when I come near them is insulting. Sorry guys, but as I'm still a babybat it in fact makes me very happy to have my gothyness validated. 

Makeup of the Day and Stuff

Advance Warning: I won't be able to do a post tomorrow because I'm going camping

I'm kinda tired today so I'll do mainly pictures and I might just obey the stereotype and put one of my poems at the end :D

My right eye. I used my mums khaki eyeliner (I love that stuff ^^) to draw a faint heart (Emilie Autumn inspired, but unfortunally I didn't have anything to color it red :() then filled it in with my mums concealer because she's got darker skin than me (she takes after my grandad, who's Burmese)

My left eye :D I used brown liquid eyeliner to do the swirl, and I think it came out quite well :D It draws attention to my eyes, and it looks pretty :D It took a few mistakes (I recomend practising makeup in the bathroom with a flannel soaking in hot water in the sink so you can oh-so- quickly wash of any disasters) but eventually I mannaged to get a nice swirl without looking like a two year old took their crayons to me

Apologies, but most of my makeup pictures are sideways :S Why do I always forget to do them landscape? *facepalm* Anyways, this is some makeup I tried doing last night :D I've started to experiment and whilst I still can't do a lot of types of makeup I'm getting better :D And hardly any negative comments from parents yet :D

I'm not wearing any other makeup in the pictures other than what I've talked about but the purple headband is my mums, again. She got it from topshop but she can't wear it, it gives her a headache. Also, in the last one you can see the neckline of my dress, witch is good because the lace didn't show up in this picture.

As promised, my lovely new dress. It's not a great picture but you can sort of get the color :D I normally wear it with this beautiful black ribbon to hide the string

And now, as promised, my poem :D It kinda scared me that I'd written it to be honest, it sounds like I'm mentally deranged

The Voice Behind the Wall

I saw the man

Standing over the bodies

He saw me

I ran

To a wall

It was there I found him

My voice behind the wall

He comforted me

My voice behind the wall

He was my new best friend

My voice behind the wall

Each day I walked

Along the wall

To try and find a place where I could see

My voice behind the wall

I found it

The end of the wall

And I saw him

My voice behind the wall

He saw me

It was him

The man I was running from

Was my voice behind the wall

Goth and real life-Not always bad

When I first became interested in Goth, I figured that as a goth you'd almost constantly get people shouting abuse at you and things. Even though that was only like a month ago, I look back at myself and laugh. Madly. Mad laugh. It also sounds slightly evil, though I'm not sure why.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. Since I've started to wear Gothic clothes and started my flicky eye make up (the makeup is the most important as that is what I wear in school) I've had it critisised once (by my younger brother, so I don't really

think that counts) and had more compliments than I've ever had before on my makeup. The other day my best friend (who's friendly relationship basicly consists of both of us saying that the other 'looks crazy today' and basicly never giving compliments) said that if I kept the eyemake on, grew my hair and changed (I was in my school uniform at the time) I could almost look really nice! That's a big compliment from her. So, far from Goth getting me discriminated against, so far it's done the oposite :D. I know that life won't always be a rock-free road, but I also know that I'll always look back on my first month as a Goth with happiness.

I love Alpaca's! There cool!
