Jillian Venters on Goth Fashion

[@ILoveRizaHawkeye]

I love that on her websites, etc she describes goth as accepting that life isn't perfect, and finding the beauty in unexpected places. That's exactly what I think being goth is all about. Her videos and website have helped my parents come to accept my choice of being goth, and she's changing the world's view. The gothic subculture has made me feel at home, and thank you Lady Of Manners ♥

[@yumiarigama]

She has to be one of my favorite people in the entire world. XD

[@evilsoul240]

If you’ve ever seen someone with multiple piercings, spiked collars and death-warmed-over makeup and wondered “Why is she dressed that way?”, “Is he dangerous?”, “How does he sleep with his hair like that?” or “Halloween was yesterday, wasn’t it?”, then her book is for you.

[@crissangel202]

thank you to the lady of manners,your video's have helped my mom to get over the steriotypes people place on goths,and im hopeing to have my dad watch them and come to understand me better,thank you again love,Jinxx a kindergoth(:

[@LadyMeilin]

i love this lady!

[@Jakegothicsnake]

My gothic wardrobe leans more to the more punkish flavor of the spectrum, but I am considering adding some victorian and formal to my warbrobe.:)

[@Kaidus4ce]

I wish I could meet her in person so I can giver her a hug. Rest assured fellow goths that's as far as I'll go.

[@KreeZafi]

Oh, I know what you mean... Where I live, "emo" is the word everybody use for ALL alternative darker styles, whether it be goth, punk, actual emo style or something else. It annoys the crap out of me when people mistake goth for emo, when they're in fact very different!

[@Rockmangoes]

Thank god there is someone who have enough curage to tell people that there are goths like us who loves life and other spooky,morbid and yet culturle things on this planet.How I fathom a better future.

[@raynasabine]

If Goth needed a president, I would vote for her. She is the ultimate spokesperson for the subculture. Dear Lady, I send you much love

[@carpenoctem1213]

I really liked her book, it was entertaining and informative. I'm a more recent member of the subculture. The book and her website really helped me understand more about it. I knew enough to defend that not all Goths are Satanists or the other stereotypes, but I didn't know everything there is to know about it. I still don't. I just have a wider knowledge of the subculture now than I did when I started out, and that's good enough for this babybat.

[@Blackmagecat]

@sosweet425 from what i can gather, She either had customized some things she had, or had purchased them from small gothic shops on the web and in conventions. :D

[@sunkiis]

HER CHANNEL IS GOTHIC CHARM SCHOOL

[@amie_smees]

I have that book! It's the epitome of epic.

[@randomnchan15]

I got this book can't wait till it comes :D !

[@Threedaysofsilence]

how much is the gothic charm school book???

[@crissangel202]

@Ankh117 this is one streiotype many people have,many goths are quit cheery like the lady of the manners say's herself"we have a great bit of black humor" we may joke about being depressed or engaging in activitys that we actually do not but we can be just as "cheery" as the next person,so to answer your question,yes,being cheery is not ever a bad thing,we goths recognize every emotion

[@WednesdayEclipse]

She's amazing.

[@raynasabine]

@sarkura123 excellent point!! Maybe we should move more to a King and Queen scenario ;)

[@xXDarklyAngelXx]

i goth,but i have such taned sink,i really want my sink to be pale,but nothing i try works,i been waering my jacke ever day for three mounths now trying to get my sink un-taned,but its not working

[@gordan2555]

I just love her

[@Jakegothicsnake]

@sosweet425 You can try kambriel. The band Faith and the Muse buys some of their clothes from there.

[@rickonnye2001]

brilliant

[@MykkiOnTheCusp]

Vintage and thrift shops, mostly from sewing and creating your own clothing, and from shops that specialize in victorian clothing.

[@BRANDYANDTHEBANSHEES]

You could always research recipies for simple skin bleach. Common ingredients are lemon, milk and flour. You can make a facial mask and a mixture to bathe in. :) Trust me they do help!

[@GypsyAugury]

@Gothgirl4000 I believe it was something like $15 dollars? Something like that? It's a paperback, so it's not too pricey. :3

[@canal50tonsdepalidez]

jillian is great!

[@StAmander]

my sister has that problem... i only got sunburn like once and that is because i fell asleep exposed

[@tinamarie1998]

check out Gothic Charm School right here on youtube

[@Mwurld]

You're forgetting that they both are "not goth", which is what a goth achieves by accumulating enough points.

[@raynasabine]

@elegantpunishment goodness! It sure looks that way! LOL!

[@ElysionGear]

How interesting, I am a Native American Goth and trying for pale skin, that's a big no-no for me. I rather like my darker goldish tan that I get in the summer. perhaps I should send Miss Gothic Manners a Letter.

[@millenialreboot]

@sosweet425 go to her website and she has links to some good places to start :)

[@manthatyoufear777]

I am goth, but everybody thinks my fashion style is emo. Damn the miscontrued emo subculture. It is just a cheesy spinoff of goth.

[@CrisWearsBlack]

dont try to make ur self pale. im a tan goth n i look fine. just look for things that look good on your body. :)

[@StAmander]

@DressxToxDepress your so lucky... it's annoying when people asked where did you get that tan.... i tan so easily the only good thing is i don't burn as much ... but that's pointless for me anyways

[@sarkura123]

@raynasabine hmmm to-shay i haft 2 agree with u on that :D

[@sarkura123]

@raynasabine well i like her just as much as any 1 but i think voltaire would be a good president if there was a goth pres lol

[@TheObsidianNightfall]

I would've said Peter Murphy or Siouxsie Sioux myself/

[@sildaghiadsygdsahg]

Hey. If you desire respect for your subculture, you should afford the same respect for other groups, regardless of whether you disagree with its sentiments or the origins of its style.

[@darkChristian]

she seemz very down to earth not stuck up, gothz make a note...be real, reach out.

[@razeal18]

i am so embaressed i am of the darker cloth and a sexualy deviante oh whats a pretty goth boy to do.

[@TheSoulCollector13]

[@cartoonygothica]

[@BruceAdriehlLConcepcion]
