GOTH with a TWIST

I will call my style today " Goth with a twist. I made some deviation from the typical goth fashion, that usually shows a dark, erotic sometimes morbid style. A fashion  that includes wearing dark clothes and dark make up-- dark lips, dark liner and black finger nails. To make my plans work in this theme I need a photographer, good thing my sister is around to capture my style. I conceptualized the whole photo shoot--the location, how my hair will look like, my make up, dress and accessories. I wanted to have a photo shoot in our town cemetery but my father did not allow us. Wondering why? For two reasons- (1) He found out that we went to cemetery two weeks ago to have a photo shoot without him knowing (hehe). (2) Recently, a criminal was caught hiding in our town cemetery. He might think that there is another criminal hiding in the cemetery that might kidnap or kill us. I know it's exaggerated :) My father is just concern for our safety.


So we had our photo shoot on a vacant lot near our house. The vines and the grass made a dash of color to the usual dark color of Goth fashion. For my hair and make up-I teased my hair to make it fuller and a little crazy. I did not wear dark make up. Instead of wearing dark lipstick, I wear a pale pink shade on my lips. A little alteration but still preserve the Gothic feel.


For my outfit I put on :
(1) a black thrifted dress with a ruffle design on the side
(2)on one of the picture  I wear a Skeleton Designed jacket
(3)a black knee high socks





































For the accessories: (another twist)
(1)black and white voodoo dolls as necklace; other colored voodoo dolls as props (FYI handmade by me and my sister from scrap cloth)
(2) an umbrella
(3) a black veil
(4) Red & purple balloon plus red tulip flower- to add a dash of color to the look and fun to the Gothic theme
Oh I almost forgot the best accessory in this look is our white cat "Muning". He usually hates photo shoots.


After seeing the outcome of our photo shoot, for me the Goth vibe that was made is MYSTERIOUS plus FUN!
