I have been wearing black eyeliner for years and have experienced lots of brands, some good, some bad. Every hot gothic girl knows if you are going to a  gothic club and your going to be dancing and sweating a bit then do not wear liquid black  eyeliner because it smears and runs easily. There are several brands that are made from crap and make your face break out.

Buying gothic girls clothing has become much easier because of the internet but finding just the right gothic girls clothing can be challenging. There are many different styles of gothic clothing for girls because of the different gothic subcultures. If you are a mainstream goth girl you probaly dress in black, have a nose ring and dyed hair. Romantic gothic girls are more apt to wear long velvet dresses or rich brocades with lace and ornate accessories from the victorian era. To read about the different goth styles that gothic girls wear go to http://www.hotgothicstuff.com/gothic-girls.shtml  Hot Gothic Stuff helps define the style of hot gothic girls.

Over the years I have found beautiful ornate pieces of gothic jewelry for my collection from unusual places. I got my first gothic necklace from my grandmother, it was a marcasite cross. I loved it so much I tried to find other old pieces of jewelry so I started looking at garage sales and found an old spider ring with red gem eyes.The lady I bought it from wanted $20 and did not know anything about the ring, it had been given to her. Maybe you think that $30 for a ring from a garage sale is crazy but I knew this was a beautiful ring and I had to have it. I took the ring to a jeweler friend of mine who told me that the ring was gold and the eyes were small rubies. Ever since I found the spider ring at a garage sale I started going to garage sales regularly. I would check the newspapers early in the morning and select several sales that were in the same area. I also look for old beads, pins and beads that I disassemble and make new pieces of gothic jewelry from. Over the years I have been able to collect many fine pieces of gothic jewelry from garage sales. The most comments I get about my gothic jewelry is for the pieces that I have made from random parts of older jewelry.

Summer is a good time to show off your tattoos.

I wrote an article a while back on how to find cheap gothic clothing http://www.hotgothicstuff.com/cheap-gothic-clothing.shtml  I have had  a lot of positive feedback on the article.

Since then I found a site that has a lot of great ideas on how to make gothic clothing for free from stuff you have laying around. The first project they list is how to make a shirt and fingerless gloves out of a old pair of fishnet stockings. I tried it myself and it came out great. http://www.gothfashion.info/diy.php

Happy treasure hunting, Gemolis

There is a hot new gothic designer named Erin Fetherston from San Francisco, California. In the Fall 2009 Mercedes Benz fashion show held February 15, 2009 she used blacks, grays and reds. I did not care for the large oversized florals but the other colors went well with the muted metallic’s.

These gothic outfits look just like they are from a Tim Burton movie. If you are looking for a new look you may be able to get some good ideas on how to mix and match clothing for that gothic rebel in you.

Greetings! it’s finally spring! Time to do something!
When I first though of making a list of gothic hairstyles for the website it seemed like an easy task. Then I started to make the list and realized that not only goth hairstyles were on the list, but soon also included punk hairstyles, emo hair styles and dying your hair in the most wonderful shades of color and then repairing your color. Further contemplation Filled my racing mind. Stay tuned, I hope to have all that put together in type for you gothic guys and girls soon.
In the mean time here is probally the best gothic hairstyle website by a famous gothic photographer. She specializes in the Victorian and Edwardian era. These are people who live and breathe gothic. This is one of my favorite sites. Tons of pictures and clothing for ideas on how to look certain goth styles as well as other subcultures within the Gothic culture.
