how to dye your hair, wear black, stay goth while it’s raining…

Hmm… ok this is just a test. Maestro, how many goths do you know that seriously suffer if it’s not all sunshiney happy? 😉 I just saw this description and could not help but laugh…

If anyone here seriously suffers from rainy-day un-goth syndrom, PM me… I live in Seattle, WA. If I didn’t know how to be severely annoyingly übergoth in the rain, I’d have to be a prep, and that would make me vomit. 😆

It’s raining its pouring the old man is snoring went to bed bumped his head and could not get up in the morning…..how to stay goth when its raining……and seattle you say mwaaahaahahahaha…I so qualify as an expert….

Lets see here i remember going to school in seattle you packed your books and an extra set of cloths in something water proof and then went to school…why lets see here one you live to close to ride the bus….2 its just far enough to piss you off…3 you dont havea drivers liscence…..its raining out an umbrella is futile cause the wind will just turn it inside out and the rain is damn near at a 45 degree slant anyways so give in and stomp a few puddles when you get to school….walk your soaked ass to the gym….change clothes and go to school going home….wash…get wet / muddy …repeat…..any one who is currently living in the emerald city right now knows what im talking about 27 days of straight rain…and its still winter folks..no snow but water a pleanty…..

now for those of us who like to spike our hair and find hats unbearable…how to avoid the gel melting in the rain come on this is an easy one….Elmer’s hello…20 minutes in the bathroom with a blow dryer and you have an imovvable wall of what ever floats your boat.
( side note…mixing the glue with food dye, UV crayola paint, or and color of crayola paint makes cheap easy washable gel…before they came up with the temp stuff they have now….make shure its the washable poaster paint tho…..and yes this will fry your hair beyond eblife with repeaded use….but hey i have bwon hair with red undertones and i bleach mine like im worried about frying it…)

Boots…..a good pair of boots in the rain….yes i know cant polish em makes me look like a give a shyt when i dont….hint polish em rub that shyt in good..im not saying spit shine but hey polish is actually water proofing…you want soaggy toes and trench foot..fine by me…..

jacket…..only turists where jackets in seattle..everything else is hoodies and sweater and shyt……and no feggin umbrella….

ok for you make up wearer out there…same rules as halloween…) yes damn it a GUY know the answer to this question ( Revlon makes the best shyt….they have great no run products ,no smearing no smudging….even when sweating your balls off on a mosh pit floor…..
and stay away from the pencils….use liquid eyeliner its a tad spendier but thats the stuff that has the best water restance….if you want the whole eric draven crow look with the white face..T/S with out stage makeup that stuff is comming off in the rain…or a good hardy sweat….

nail polish,….excessive water and the wearing of gloves as any girl can tell you will wear out the live span of your painted nails….) your choice on colors ( use two coats, of what ever color drying inbetween ” and yes trim your damn cuticals….crappy nail beds make for crappy paint jobs ” and then two coats of clear enamal…this way the clear enamal wears not the paint and every couple of days or so ply another coat of clear it drys in like five so…and a hair drier works great….

” gets off soap box”

ok i thinks thats the end of my rant….and yes i know most females, chicks, women, whatever know or should know most of this but hey…how many guys do….oddly enough ive always managed to see the “” goth “” guys doing this but they either dont care about doing it right so it will last or they are just experimenting with their moms make up a little late in live….

kk bye now

Oi 😯

I cannot believe I just read all of that. Hmm thanks for helping me with any droll questions I may have received as a result of my post…. 😆 lmfao!!

Yes, Nav`re, I bow to your expertise in all things rainy in Seattle… tho being a California girl by birth and years makes me an expert on trying to be goth in the heat of day and lemme tell you… that takes much more advice than when it rains. Water may be detrimental to your nail polish or crappy temporary black hair dye (and I swear if anyone admits they wear that crap I shall once again summon my powers of ethernet cable commanding) however at 46 degrees C. I think passing out in the heat and catching fire is much more of a problem.

Believe me, I had soooo many instances of heat stroke (when the AC only brought temps to 35 C.) but at least I looked damn good laying there unconscious…. *grin*

Yes the life of a goth here in Seattle is a tricky one. But come on whats funnier than a guy goth whos done his face up without lookin at the weather around here. I dont know how many times I have gone to the Fenix or the Central to see guys who are a runny white faced mess.

*runs off with Nav’res soap box*

the severe problem is that normal goth folk mostly doesnt know the simplest things – nav mentioned it: shoe polish WILL help against wet toes. Take a cig lighter and heat the polish once you applied it onto your combat boots and it will tighten the shoe even more. That way, after a good deal of polishing with cloth your shoes will not only look better, but do the job they’re supposed to.

Instead they buy those newrocks which for all the spikes and printings cannot be handled that way and wonder why their pair of shit expensive and really evil shoes needs a week drying after wading through the mud with them.

Another thing is hairspray, it’s good for hair – but who ever invented spraying it ON YOUR FACE to keep the makeup weatherproof?
I’m not sure if he or she should be shot for the pure idea or awarded with money because of finding a way for all goth girlies out there to make real asses out of themselves.
If someone wonders, this is likely to be where the “kickass makeup – pimple face” theory originates from.

However most i like those moments where you go out in full rain and they say ” oh wait, ill get an umbrella” and vanish. *stand,wait,rain* – until they come back with a completely useless victorian piece of junk meant as summer umbrella, happily start to walk and get wet while you ask for a single reason to not kick the embarrasing bitch onto the street.

Wow that is one I have never heard of before… seriously girls spray hairspray on their faces?! Hmmm. Brilliant. 🙄 Wouldn’t it be horrible if someone lit a smoke for them when they did that…? *snicker*

As for the umbrellas, yes, that is lame and I see it here with many of the elitist types…. can’t get wet with a lace umbrella now can we? Strangely I had never heard of newrocks before I showed up here… I always did the shoe polish and lighter thing, which my father taught me when I was in high school. I still have my docs from way back in the day…. LOL Yes I am sooo old I knew Dr. Martin himself! :vamp:

No, not really.

You’re kidding me, right? 🙄 War stories I wish… no, my Dad told me early on that if any kid of his was going to wear boots, they wouldn’t shame him by doing it wrong. He was a fire chief and had those huge black boots that had to be spit-n-shine clean, and we’d sit there and share the polish for our boots… LOL

I was taught early on how ta take care of leather footware during school as well. Me brodir an’ meself went to Catholic schools sos we of COURSE hadta dress appropriately… Me da had been law enforcement sos we were taught proper care o’ leather footwear. Methinks tha’ it was da only thang beneficial te bein’ in da -xian’s supposed hell..er school system 😉 ‘Twas more-den once tha’ I felt me arms would fall off from usin’ tha’ horsehair brush ta buff.

Luckily I dunna live in a local tha’ has extreme temperature spikes or torential rains… Aye in Upstate New York where I’ve lived all me life we git severe storms a’times, wha’ wit 30mph or more winds, but dere ARE umbrellas that work in tha’ type o’ wind an’ rain… dem BIG golf umbrellas wit’ da wind slashes built in… a strong breeze strikes da umbrella an’ it goes through dem special slits an’ doesna upturn da umbrella… Me height is also 6 foot 4 inches an’ holdin’ dat umbrella down right on top o’ me head gits it so dat e’en with extreme tilt on da rain it only hits me lower legs .

Truthfully… here, in Upstate New York, ye hafta worry more ’bout snow durin’ de winter den rains durin’ de rest o’ da year. An’ o’course ye dunna hafte worry ’bout de cold affecting yer gothiness too much…

If your going to do for the 99cent bin then stick with pencil but if you can or want to afford it as I said the spendier stuff like revlon is your best bet, they have spent ages on working out to keep a girls make up from running when she cries…which is good news for those of us who want the same out come for entierly diffrent reasons

No offence meant to all the goths out there, but goths look really weird in the light. Sunlight and gothdom just dont mix, dont ask me why ‘cos i have no idea, but thats the truth, sue me.

[maestro]

maestro on 20070218 um 1715 Uhr #4010

Don’t measure “goths in the sun” by the amount of people you see in the street.
It’s just a five minute walk from Hot Topic to the next bar.

And those who look like sitting around somewhere are only those who didn’t make it and slowly transform into what you always considered as a flat-stomped bubblegum when you were younger. The black ones of course.
