Готическая СубкультураHow You Can Become Gothic
Please read my view about gothic stereotypes before you use this information.
Basics for hair, face and skin to become gothic:
Long hair is the most common in the gothic culture, but short hair will do. The object is
to make it look creepy. Your style
doesn't need to make sense. Just do a little shaving
here and there and dye your hair black.
Your skin tone should be ghostly and really, really
spooky. Use eyeliner and dont forget the black color. Black adds a
big effect to pale complexions.
Expressions and attitudes become more gothic:
It is very important to look anguished and filled with
despair. The weight of the world and society is on
Goths and you have to make your audience believe that you
are to blame. Never ever smile. Smiling, would be
equal to Arnold Schwarzenegger acting like mickey mouse. It would never
work.
Accessorize that spookiness in a gothic way:
Select things that are unique and out of the ordinary, can be dangled from a pierced body part and
some sort of metal like silver jewelery.
Practice some basic manners of the Готические Люди:
It is very important that you look good in subdued
light. Get a candle and look at
yourself in the mirror in a darkened room. Pose and
Practice hand gestures which cast Темнаяshadows, make
slow movements and close your eyes slowly.
Get a cape as soon as possible.
Social situations can be fun for gothics:
Goth dancing. It doesn't matter if it is slow or fast
music, the moves are the same. Do Kung
Fu moves, only slowly, Pretend you're a ballerina.
This works for men, too!
Check yourself:
Do I feel spooky?
Would I frighten my friends and family?
Do I look like The Crow?
Could I dress like this for Halloween?
If you answered yes to any of these, you have the gothic look.
