Nice. You do the mainstream marvel/DC stuff or more independent comics?

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

If I had the money for it [and because I will be working more now I will soon!] I would dress up in steampunk fashion all day every day, or well when I wasn't at work.

Like, my confidence would be through the roof if I had either one of these. And that hand piece? Want. Necklace? Want.

....I want those corsets. Though, I'm not a huge fan with Steampunk to be honest. Mostly because of the crowd of people it typically attracts, very ignorant and pretentious types. I attend a ton of Conventions and LARP, they definitely treat it like a special club house. -_-  ...but, I'm not saying all steampunks are like that.

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

This. This is incredible. I love steampunk, unfortunately it doesn't fit my everyday needs. :'( The most I go for is a skeleton dial watch.

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

You have made me want to get the corset and handpiece and go cosplay somewhere.

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I want to get a pin-up style swimsuit for this summer - from ModCloth..I also love this site b/c they have clothes that fit stylish ladies of all shapes and sizes

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I have a suit just like this! 😄 it's red and gorgeous and makes me feel/look like Marilyn Monroe, haha. Love retro-chic! 

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

Looks like I really have to check out this ModCloth place! 😄

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I love ModCloth's bathing suits -- I've always wanted to order one! I have these from J. Crew (the first looks more traditionally pin up, but the second looks like it on -- the picture is deceiving).

 

You can't see them, but the first one has tiny anchors printed all over it, and the second is Liberty floral.

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I have the anchor one in a two piece!

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I have a suit like this and it is so flattering!!!! You will LOVE it!!

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I love old 40s/50s style clothing, mostly because that was the last time they made clothes that were designed for my body type. Unfortunately, I can't wear dresses to work so I don't actually own any of those gorgeous dresses.

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

Same here!!!

Oh boy, spent the whole night online and playing video games. I should be sleeping, it's like 6:52 in Korea. I'll return to thread and play catch up later. Night/Good Morning Ladies!

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

I am really into the punk/goth/pinup looks. I am also a huge fan of body modifications (I have my earlobes stretched to 7/16ths, septum pierced, and one tattoo; I am focusing on getting more tattoos in the future). Colorful hair is also something I love (I had half black and half red hair and I miss it dearly)

 

I wish I could fully delve into these looks but due to my career choice I am not free to do so. As a microbiologist, body modifications and alternative styles are not really accepted. I have been lucky enough to work with individuals who look at my abilities in my field rather than my mods/style choices but I still must be cautious until I am fully secured in my field.

 

I am a huge of Kat von D and most of my inspiration comes from her. I love her makeup/perfume/clothing line and I am hoping to be tattooed by her in the future.

This was one of my favorite pin up inspired look with my black/red hair (I miss it dearly lol).

Before I go to sleep, I must say...I love the hair. It's made of win and awesome. 

Re: Gothic girls, Pin-up, Punk and J-Fashion Enthusiasts. Calling all Alternative Fashion ladies!

My style is pretty much punky-military inspired, with some colorful tees and 80s inspired makeup.  Think Lara Croft + Cyndi Lauper, ha ha.  Lots of cargo pants (skinny and baggy), military jackets but with colorful shirts and makeup,lol.

 

-I've been doing this for about 15 years

-just one hole in each ear (no others or tats…..horrified of needles)

-Betsey Johnson is the best! (when I have to get dressed up), I also like Allen B from JCP a lot.  I am not too into designers because I can't afford them, lol

-makeup: I love it all, but my favs are MUFE, MAC

-perfume: Gucci Rush, Nina Ricci Ricci, Kenzo Amour

-Scorpio

-misconceptions: people assume I smoke, drink too much, do drugs, don't have any spirituality, hate kids.  It's annoying.

The power of Scorpio's is strong in this thread. 

 

For some reason...I picture you like Tankgirl.
