I came across a goth girl in a running car. The doors were locked, but a note on the window read; She is fine. Please do not call the police or break the window. She is listening to Choir Boy and the air conditioning is ON

    Last year a goth femboy friend of mine went on a river float trip.

    I was really curious to see what he’d look like under all that.

    He wore two layers of shirts, fishnets, and baggy black pants. With striped socks of course.

    And then wore the dripping outfit to dinner after.

    Dedication.

        In the Big Goth Candy Mountains 
        You always wear black socks 
        And the little streams of mascara
        Come a-trickling down the rocks

          Now I want the full song. I can sing if we can scrounge up the rest of the band.

      I had a similar experience, but ours only wore swim shorts and nearly died of hypothermia. I had to swim his tube to a random dock so he could warm up.

      I always assumed that goth swimwear was one of those striped one piece outfits you see in old-timey images of people at the beach in like the 1910s. With a parasol.

    Pffft, an umbrella and net stockings will work pretty well for both arms and legs in summer. And they also make goth boots in non-thigh-high variants.

    Ken Jennings is a surprisingly funny internet commenter and author. His books are actually pretty good, I wouldn’t have predicted that 20 years ago.

    Sometimes I think my Hot Topic emo fit is rough and then I go to ren faire and see a goth in 10x as many layers or someone in a full fursuit and I cannot fathom the dedication.

    Goth Night at the Kadan, in the early 2000s, was kick ass! Best part was that Kadan was a dive bar, in the kinda-sketch-not-yet-gentrified neighborhood of Normal Heights, the rest of the week. But for that one night the freaks and bats came out to get hammered! It’s some lame mustachioed hipster cocktail bar now. The whole hood turned into a hipster trainwreck.

    Anyway, Goths were good fun! And yes, summer in San Diego posed a complexion problem! 🤣
