Thank you, its been a while since I posted a video... mainly these days I rarely use foundation during the day, and only use it during the evenings.. currently using Boots No.7 in ivory, it doesn't go cakey on my skin, and isn't too heavy. I mainly prefer a fairly light coverage and also find a powder that is iridescent more flattering than flat as I find that helps to disguise wrinkles... always use a primer too, as it really helps to smooth out pores and fine lines before putting on a foundation. :-)

Thank you for your lovely comments. I do plan to do more videos soon, I'm currently re launching my business and setting that up, so once I have a few spare hours I'll upload another video. :-)

Thank you so much :-) I need to do more videos too!

Thanks Michael. Welcome to the Goth world. Enjoy.

No idea... I thought I'd set my phone up correctly...hey ho... lol

I've not heard what he passed from, other than he passed in his sleep. Sorry to hear that you're struggling at the moment. He's definitely leaving a big hole in the community. Blessed be x

So sorry to hear that, he seemed like a lovely person.

I don't know what he passed from, other than he died in his sleep.

I’m glad your back even if we couldn’t see you x x

@@LadyLecter Thank you lovely... I can't believe I didn't check the video before I uploaded it!! Lol..

Hello lovely, so glad your back, I was shook when I hered about Trevor, KZbin is so empty without him 😥

@@midnightwitch606 Hello lovely.. Thank you.. not a great video, but just an update. I do have a few plans for my channel. Oh I agree...Trevor has left a large void in the subculture.

Wow no idea why my name and pic isn't showing up, maybe because this is my new channel?! Can you see it?!

So true...

Yep

Thank you Anouska. I do plan to do more on my channel :-)

Nope. It's about the music. Unless you listen to it then you arent goth. Being goth yes is more then just music but it's a big part of it. You wouldn't call yourself a metal head unless you listened to metal. Pretty sure I've seen you trolling some other alt fb groups. Yep, you are a poser.

@@earthbruja5268 I'm no poser. The music is a big part for me as well just like any other goth. But I believe it is what you make of it. There's no rules and also this subject is something noone is going to agree with. Goth is not a set thing its a social thing. Goth is an umbrella term anyways there's no set definition or its this way or that way. Its a mysterious subculture. I believe talking about what goth is and isn't kinda spoils it and looses its beauty and uniqueness and becomes more of a competition of I'M MORE GOTHER THAN THOU. The fact you state I'm a "poser" confirms that goth has become a competition and has lost its beauty, is pretty sad and that is why many avoid labels because of such pettiness. Anyone can be who they want, besides the average person whether someone is a "true goth" or "darkly inclined" is not gonna be able to tell the difference anyways. Anyone who dresses in black and wears strange makeup and hair and takes in interest in darker aesthetics, literature and architecture or anything of that nature is gonna be seen as a goth by society anyways. At the end of the day who cares. There's no need to even label ones self if one chooses to. If people are gonna make a big deal about it and get butt hurt wheres the beauty in that. This is also why people don't find very many local goth nights in your area is because of the drama, elitism and people just being shitty to one another. None wants to go to nightclubs or goth nights is because its become more of an exam of how goth you are rather than just enjoy the music and whatnot. This generation is probably the reason that goth is dead. Our subculture is a dying subculture and with peoples behavior and attitude is why were never gonna preserve our subculture. By the way your only calling me a poser is because you want to validate your own low self opinion. You feel the need to come at me like Gothic border patrol and call me a poser is because you are one yourself just to make yourself feel better. So go and write a head Mr keyboard commando type all your b.s all you want.

The music is the one thing that really ties everything together to form the movement - it gave rise to the ideas, sentiments and aesthetics of the subculture, without it what one calls a Goth scene would never exist. During the times when the music scene was pretty dead, so around the late 90s until mid/late 00s, Goth almost became just a commercialized commodity and a fashion fad. Since the music had an upswing in early 10s the people have finally come back together to form a community. It's therefore not really as dead as you think as we have gotten hordes of new bands and releases the last years. I agree though, that since music is the main and common factor it allows the culture to be way more heterogenic and individualistic, and maybe that's what you are referring to - there are no rules outside "enjoy the music and have fun taking part of the scene". Ok, there's also maybe the anti-commercialism and anti-capitalist sentiment, but that's mainly expressed through attitude and not as loudly as punk did. So yeah, it's not just the music, but a wild and individual mix of what people personally draw from said music and how they interpret and then express it through their creativity, fashion or lifestyle. In a sense, goth as a music genre may be very narrowly defined and limited, but the culture that grew around it is much more vast. That's especially noticeable in the club scene, where playlists have always been playing a mix not only of goth, but also industrial, EBM, Darkwave, Minimal Wave and other related genres. For me, I can live without really being called the G word though, since it is way too narrow of a word. I def call gothic rock what it is and recognize that goth is a musical genre and style, but I refrain from labelling my fellow peers. Since we all also love other alternative music and stuff it's often easier to just use very overarching terms (of necessary), like "Schwarze Szene" (German term for the "dark scene"). I know some call themselves Wavers or Grufties too, rather than Goths. And honestly, most of the debates about what is or isn't "goff" happen online. People really do not care as much about it in real life situations, at least where I am. They just want to have a good time and dance to music and meet their friends. Tbh, most of the events I went to, even big ones like Gothic Pogo for example, were very welcoming. There was no elitism whatsoever, no one acted "Gother than thou" and no one gave a shit about how many old goth bands you know about. Maybe it's different in your local scene, I don't know. People are certainly coming less to events, but people in general go out less in these times. Guess it's more the lack of money and everyone listening to music online.

@@MysteriousAsteria I just dont think there's any point in talking about goth with other goths it gets boring after a while. Its like yeah yeah we get it already. Why ruin the mystique of the subculture by constantly talking about the technicalities of goth. Noones ever going to agree its not a set thing with rules and regulations. Thats when goth stops being unique it seems like it becomes more of a following rather than an individualistic ideology. The beauty is gonna be dead for good if this pettiness doesn't stop. And if you read my comment. You should know music is important to me but at the same time I don't have the right or power to tell someone what they are or aren't Also. I don't think it achieves anything by talking about goth period. Just like the number one rule of Fight club is never talk about Fight club same applys to the goth subculture. Why cant we just let it be it. But we don't need to talk about it. Ps. If people make goth about fashion go for it. Who cares as long as no one is hurting each other who cares let them be. People are so against people who make it about fashion now its really silly. Like really. Only this millenials generation and after that have made this subculture turn into capitalism/socialism. This stuff only happens behind a keyboard and not in real life.

Why, thank you for sharing your informed and intelligent opinion, however, I could care less what you think.

Amen! I'm not sure I could hold a conversation with any goths who are under 30? Maybe I could if they were mature enough.

Thank you :-) Isn't it? I'm so proud to be part of this :-)

No... well I'm kind of pink...pale pink/beige...irl.

people usually don't want to identify as goth back in the day because that made em a poser

Hi Amanda, Thanks for responding to my video. I agree, we should be all encouraging everyone. Enjoy the videos. x
