7) What dreams do you have? If you have loads stick to the nicest one. I dream of working for myself and/or out of my home. Said home will be in the country (not too far from a cool city, hopefully) with enough land for animals, a garden or two , and lots of trees. A family would be nice too.

11) What is your ideal look that you hope to achieve when you get all dressed up? Some sort of simplified, streamlined ‘dark’ look with a bit of feminine appeal. I’m not a fancy Victorian-goth by any means.

12) What do you like seeing on the opposite sex? Or possibley the same sex, depending on which you normally take a liking to, or if you like both, give 2 answers :o)(Take this question how you like <weg>) I prefer men to look down-to-earth (ie. jeans and tshirt or slacks and a button-down shirt) or have a rivet or punk-ish appearance. Eyeliner at most as far as makeup goes. As far as physical appearance, I like long hair, nice eyes, height, and broad shoulders/chest. Not the typical goth boi look, but it’s what I like.

13) What message would you like to send to the world? Please keep it under 100 words. Even within this scene, do not judge a book by its cover--just because we have one thing in common doesn’t mean we’ll have everything in common. Oh, and quiet people are not always stuck-up. :)

14) What’s your ideal night out? ? Dinner at a comfortable yet nice restaurant, then either a movie/play or walking around and people/sight-seeing.

15) What do you like most about the alt.gothic.fashion newsgroup? Reviews and learning about new things—online stores, fashionable items of clothing, what to do with that spiderweb fabric, etc.

16) Do you wear make-up? Occasionally.

17) If so, what colours do you normally use, and what style? Black eyeliner or shadow on the top lids, light shimmery eyeshadow, some brow pencil, clear mascara, dark or very pale lipstick.

18) What colour is your hair? Reddish-brown.

19) When did you last dye it? About three months ago

20) If you could have it any colour, what colour would it be? Perhaps add some black and purple streaks, if I kept it long. Red, dark brown, or black if cut into in a bob (see below).

21) And what style? I’d like to have a short, undercut, sharply angled bob again…someday.

22) Do you think it’s unfair that girls/grrls have a much better choice of clothing? I do, though I’ve seen some guys be creative in what they choose to wear.

23) What do you think the cutest thing in the world is? Baby-anything!

24) Do you hate filling in pants questionnaires? ? I thought it referred to underwear ;) Not usually.

26) Is there any item of clothing that you wear at any chance you get? Yes, one of my two long black column skirts—they’re comfy and good for hiding unshaven legs on lazy days.

27) Is there any fashion advice you would like to pass on to any goth? Goth fashion is *not* about how much money you spend on your outfits.

28) What 3 words would you use to describe yourself? Introspective, earthy, feeling

29) What appeals to you most about Gothic fashion? Black clothing allows you to hide your body and yet stand out from the crowd at the same time; the elegance; the ‘dark’ or historical details of the fashion are interesting and attractive.
