- Our local thrift stores, and the people that donate to them
- The Usual Suspects: Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith, Peter Murphy, and other Goth musicians that gave our subculture it's unique sound and flavor.
- The professional tattooists and Piercers that give many Goths our distinctive body mods (tip generously, folks!)
- The caretakers of our local graveyards, especially ones that welcome the occasional picnic
- Small businesses dedicated to bringing well-made crafts, art objects, clothes, and more to the Goth community
- Slack dress codes at work and school that allow for Goth-y clothing
- Hammer Horror movies
- Black liquid eyeliner that stays put
- Bats, and all they do for our ecosystems as well as our wardrobes
- Jillian Venters and other Goths that dispense advice to those in need
- Whatever committee of high-fashion mobsters that sit around and decide every couple of years that we need another Goth trend, allowing for the abundance of darker clothing on sales racks and in thrift-stores everywhere
- YA Novelists who write with freak-y kids in mind.
- Tim Burton. You can guess why.
- Shoes and boots that break in easily
- The online community of Goths all over the net that bring us together and let us express ourselves
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I may not be an American, but this is a wonderful and a great list filled with things I certainly am grateful of. Especially the piercers! They take so much crap and are usually the nicest people on the planet, always trying to help.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Numbers 1, 5, 6 and 15 are especially dear to me. I'm also thankful for:
ReplyDelete- detergent for dark clothes
- the ready availability of sewing machines, patterns and goth-friendly fabrics such as machine washable satin and lace.
I agree with all of these things! I'm also especially thankful for having friends who accept me for who I am, even though not all of them are into the same things :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
