When da IBoss asked me tah do a speshul column fer GCAD, ah thought YEAH BABY YEAH BRING IT!.. however, over the last week uf even begin defeated bah bunnies a few times, ah gotta admits dat my enthusiasm kinda got beaten outta me. About the fourth time ah hadda apply bandages tah mah ears, sew back together mah armor und make new arrows, I wuz kinda low. But then.. We claimed the number 1 guild spot in the werld und beat up a graverobber soundly and dat helped a great deal. und then it happened...

Iola, dat Iboss baaaaaaabe walked up in thigh high black leather boots wit a six inch heel. The leather so creamy and flexible....

Ah means,.. ya kin imagines dat raht?

Iffen dat wuzn't enuf, den ZBoss came in wearing patent leather riding boots polished to a high gleam. Dat leather shined bright enough to tan even a demon's reddish hide!

Den Revliss came in showing her truest appreciashun of Goth chicks by leading in ninastar in a ducttape armor outfit with an adorable chain leash. Ah coulda jezt saaaaavor de textures!

Not to be outdone Jmardo slapped on a dark trenchcoat to hide her gladiator sanduls while bringing in Aaylia and Moora in truest perky goth styles all gleaming and working to cheer up de night.

und den.. und den.. und den..

*hoists a full Fez*
to youze goils! cheers!

Man do I appreciate

Today is Goth chick appreciation day. All I have to say is

If you don't watch the show you should she is so Goth and so hot

Today's pages are an homage to the damoiselle denizen of the dark .. The Goth Chick.

In her website, Goth Stereotypes (An Illustrated Guide to Goth Types), Megan Balanck has identified no less than twenty-three different types of goth chicks.

From Steampunk and Cybergoth to Gothabilly and Metalhead, we've all met them or at ogled at them from a seat on the bus.  She provides descriptive text on each of the types and its an interesting read.

I pulled some pictures from the internet to share with you and the thing that struck me was that most of these women aren't into the put-it-on-and-live-with-the-same-smeared-black-eyeshadow-for-days crack addict look.

Or at least, fashion houses and various websites would have us believe that there is a way to get your glam goth on.  While some of the pictures below are from fashion forward places like Dolce & Gabbana, some of these are pulled from the websites of normal people who just like the look.

Goth Chick Appreciation Day

HOWDY TROOPS!

Well Ladies and Germs, it's  GOTH CHICK APPRECIATION DAY!
Ok, So what is a Goth Chick? Here is a definition of such as found in references from Google:

A goth chick is not defined by her clothing. Goth chicks are usually artistic and intelligent individuals. Goth chicks might have endured pain in the past which might have affected their color choices in clothing, but it does not make them suicidal, depressed, or crazy. Though some might be some of these things, most goth chicks are just normal girls with a different style from the "norm." These chicks have no problem expressing themselves fashionably, verbally, or through rebellion, they don't care what the public thinks about them because they are content with who they are.

Some might think its "cool" to be a "goth chick" but those are reffered to as posers. Goth is not a style or fashion trend, it is a way of life or mind set. No person can just wake up one day and say "Oh, I think I'll be a goth chick today!" A goth chick did not choose to be a goth she has always been one and has chosen to embrace her way of thinking and to be proud of what she is. If you have ever "decided to be goth" I pity you, and im sorry your'e a modern moron of trends, for this means you are a true poser.

Goth chicks are not defined by their clothing ... EVER! If there's a group of chicks who sit in a corner talking about how they enjoyed cutting together last night with their black hair, trench coats, and masses of eyeliner ... they aren't goth. Though some might be, goth chicks are usually very happy, humorous, creative people. They are fun to be around and fun to talk to. Most people are scared of goth chicks because they think they'll come after them with their razorblades and cans of hair dye, but its quite the contrary. These people just aren't afraid of making a statement and aren't afraid of society's cruel words against them. So, actually, goth chicks are probably much happier and more content with their life then you are.

TRUE : Being outspoken about what you truely believe in and giving a crap about what the world has to say about it and wearing what you please whether it be tight black pants with a long black jacket and dyed hair or jeans, a tight shirt, and blonde hair. It's a mindset, not a fashion.

FALSE : Wearing all black to get attention from the world so they can see how the world has mistreated you and how we all need to grovel at your feet and need to give you sympathy for all your pain and sorrow ... poser!!!

By the way, if you refer yorself as a goth chick just for attention you are none other than the sucky posers of this world!

Urban Dictionary

As mentioned in my previous article, chicks dig a man who can "cook" This holds true in the Gothic Community, as below, MRS. DUNCAN GREYHAWK keeps me, um..... er.. lets say close to her Heart!

Hmmm, I can think of a couple of reasons to appreciate this!

Anywho ... this Chef is now hungry, and I must say it is certainly not for food! (Ghetto will be shocked to hear that).  So, while me and the Mrs. head off on our hot date tonight, remember to Hoist a tankard, and with a loud YELP ... Cheers to you Goth Chicks!
