I've been emaciated, worn skin-tight black jeans and black Byronic shirts, put pink highlights in my long black hair and worn black eyeliner. At university, a friend encouraged my idiotic vanity by giving me a faux Victorian walking stick, the metal top of which unscrewed to become a dagger. Looking back, I wish he would have instead given me a t-shirt with the slogan 'man the f**k up and stop acting like a ponce'.

You're right of course. I might just get him some beer and porn mags.

No you have to buy the watch.

I've always loved the Goth look and this will fit right in (unless, as Dolly says, he's some kind of purist!).

I'm sure he'll appreciate the sentiment too.

Plus it's cheaper than a decent coffin!

Does look rather dapper.

You do know that everyone will be asking you the time at the meet up just to see if you pull this little beauty out.

I've never quite got over my goth stage; I love tight victorian jackets and quite often wear pointy high-heeled boots. I don't wear the black lipstick and chicken bone necklace any more though.

There's Jude but she isn't on much these days.

I was goth for like a week at school.

Have you tried Blue Banana, Lee? They have loads of stores all over the country.

Not easy to find black high heels when you're a size 13. I had some made by a cobbler in Indonesia but they fell to pieces a few months later due to poor workmanship (they were very cheap - about the equivalent of 6 quid). Sometimes I still dress as a woman or a faggy dandy goth, but invariably end up looking like a retarded queer cadaver.

Darn

I think the watch is stunning. Has a bit of a Time Lord feel too :)

I'm hoping to get a chance to wear my black crushed velvet jacket and mini skirt this year. It's got a sort of Neo-Edwardian look to it. I can wear my witchy buckle boots with that.

I find something very sexy about the gothic look on girls.

Cool watch. I hate all things goth, but apparently not their time keeping ways.

Such a strange shop...

I agree, sometimes the goth look can be very sexy. Unfortunately it all goes to pot when you actually talk to them. Goth chicks usually fall into two camps - a) complete fruit loop or b) dull as dishwater.

They're generally best avoided.

Very true, one intersting goth I liked at college turned out to be depressing.

And much later turned out to be very fat.

dodged a bullet there.

Laughing out loud
I've never met a Goth girl who didn't have some serious issue. Usually daddy issues.
Ohhhh my, I'm rather miserable today.
Guess I'm having a goth day, hand me over that watch Lee.
