Poemelyric, you made me giggle with the pet-peeves. Sadly, its a harsh truth. I have some grunge punk friends, all pierced and inked up. People literately cross the street when they see them. It's funny cause these are some of the nicest and down to earth people I know. Tripp NYC I assume? Some awesome clothing. Super comfy pants. ❤️

I'm 27 going on 28 and I still trick or treat.

LOL!  I just chalk it down to the fact that people scare easily, LOL!  I didn't put Demonia down, did I???  I have so much of their stuff that my apartment is bursting at the seems, LOL!  I love my platform heels!

[Anonymous]

I like when kids come up to me and ask if I'm a vampire, LOL! It's too cute. Yeah Demonia is one of my many loves. So comfy. *Happy sigh*

LOL!  I used to wear my fangs every day until they broke after 3 years!  I go to this guy named Dnash (he has a website dedicated to his art of making fangs.  He's been making them for a looong time!  I was 22 when he made my first set),  He made me a new set a couple of years ago but since i'm in an professional environment, I only wear them the week before and after Halloween, LOL!

Nice, I have a set that was made by an awesome gentlemen. I'm actually getting them permanently attached to my teeth via the dentist. I don't want to do veneers since it permanently damaged your tooth. I'll have them rough up my teeth and attach the same stuff they use for white fillings which is called k9 lengthening. I kinda already have that naturally going on for me, I just want it to exaggerate it a bit more.

You're missing gypsy-hipster and bohemian chic! 🙂 

My street style ranges from Cape Cod polished to Coachella Flower Child. 

I wear what makes me happy. 🙂 Not sure if that's "alternative" fashion - since I don't really try to embody a single "image" or genre, but my wardrobe is a crazy mix of everything! I love the retro-pin up look, the occasional soft-punk get-up and lots and lots of flower crowns. Then again, I'm in high school, so I can pretty much wear anything and nobody will really care or think I'm weird. 🙂 I figure - I'll only be young once, might as well have as much fun playing dress-up as possible before I have to grow up.

Please don't use the word "gypsy" - it's a slur. I'd be happy to discuss in PM, I don't want to get into a big war over it. (And before someone asks, yes, this affects me personally.)

Heh, sorry. I kinda tucked anything else (since there are sooo many styles to list) into the umbra term 'Alternative Fashion'. The Coachella Flower Child  look brings to mind a very similar style in Japan called Mori-Girl. I think its pretty good to change it up and express yourself.
