Well, let me tell ya, these gothic accessories, they’re somethin’ else, ain’t they? Folks these days, they like all sorts of strange things, and this goth stuff, it’s right up there with the weirdest. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
Now, from what I gather, these goth folks, they like their clothes dark, like real dark. Black as night, they say. And it ain’t just clothes, it’s all sorts of things they stick on themselves. Like, have you seen them necklaces? Skulls and crosses and all sorts of spooky stuff hangin’ around their necks. Makes you wonder if they ever get scared lookin’ in the mirror.
-
Jewelry: Rings, earrings, bracelets, you name it. But not the shiny, pretty kind. We’re talkin’ silver, mostly, and lots of pointy bits. Spikes and such. I tell ya, you wouldn’t wanna hug one of them too tight, you might get poked! And those earrings, some of ’em are so big, they look like they could pull your ears right off!
-
Hair things: Clips and pins and whatnot, but again, all dark and spooky lookin’. Bats and spiders and skeletons. I saw one girl with a hair clip that looked like a whole dang raven! Now, where do you even find somethin’ like that? Must be some special store, I reckon.
And the boots! Lord have mercy, the boots. Big, clunky things, most of ’em black leather. Some of them got buckles and straps all over ’em, and some of them are so high, they look like you could break your ankle just walkin’ in ’em. I don’t know how them young girls do it. Back in my day, we wore sensible shoes, shoes you could work in. But these goth folks, they ain’t about sensible, I guess.
Then there’s the makeup. Now, that’s a whole ‘nother story. White faces, black eyes, black lips. They look like they ain’t slept in a week! And the eyeliner, thick as a Sharpie marker. I tell ya, it’s a wonder they can even see where they’re goin’. But I guess that’s the look they’re goin’ for, that pale, kinda spooky look. Reminds me of them old vampire movies they used to show on TV.
Gloves are another thing they like. Black gloves, of course. Lace gloves, leather gloves, sometimes even gloves with little chains hangin’ off ’em. I saw one fella wearin’ gloves with spikes on the knuckles! Now, what’s the point of that, I ask ya? You can’t hardly pick up nothin’ with gloves like that. But then again, maybe they ain’t plannin’ on pickin’ up nothin’, just lookin’ scary, I suppose.
And don’t forget the umbrellas! Black umbrellas, of course, sometimes with skulls or bats on ’em. I saw one online that had a bat handle! Can you imagine? Carryin’ around an umbrella with a bat on it. Well, I guess it fits the whole goth theme, don’t it? Keepin’ the sun away, keepin’ things dark and gloomy.
You can find these gothic accessories all over the place these days, I hear. Online stores, special shops, even some regular stores have a little goth section now. It’s a whole thing, this goth fashion. And it ain’t just for Halloween, they wear this stuff every day! I don’t get it, but like I said, to each their own.
Tights and Leg Warmers, oh my, those are somethin’ else too. Ripped and torn, black or dark purple, sometimes with crosses or skulls on them. Keeps ya warm, I guess, but lookin’ like ya just crawled out of a graveyard. And the chains! They hang ‘em on their pants, on their skirts, sometimes even on their jackets. Makes a lot of noise when they walk, I bet. Jingle jangle all the way. Sounds like a bunch of keys walkin’ down the street.
So, there you have it, a little somethin’ about these gothic accessories. They’re dark, they’re spooky, and they ain’t for the faint of heart. But if you’re into that kinda thing, well, then go right ahead. Just don’t come knockin’ on my door dressed like that after dark, you might scare me half to death!
And one more thing, they say there are different types of goths, ones that listen to different music and have their own little styles. Some are more into the rock music, and some are more into the alternative stuff. I don’t know nothin’ about that, but I heard the accessories are a big part of showin’ which kind of goth you are. It’s like a secret code, I guess. Wearin’ the right stuff, lettin’ everybody know where you belong.
So if you see someone all decked out in black, with the crazy hair and the spooky jewelry, well, you probably just met a goth. Just smile and nod, that’s what I do. Like I said, to each their own.
