[Hex]

I didn't see any real thread about this so I thought I would start one.

My boyfriend and I live in the south. Anyone who doesn't fit the norm is heavily frowned upon and while it doesn't bother me I often find the kids at the high school I used to volunteer at (Marching band help XD)struggle with being mis-treated and judged by the people around them.

A better description of myself. 11 piercings currently, black and purple hair. My favorite animal and symbol is the bat and I have a few bat tattoos and a ton I plan on getting. I dress well but almost everything I wear is black and I tend to lean towards eccentric gothy jewelry. I am a plus size model for a gothy pin up type of store.

That should help explain what I mean?

anyways...I was raised by my mother who was "gothic" until I was 10 and the majority of my family on both sides are pagan (neo-polytheistic for the most part). I am used to the sideways glances and etc and I just brush them off.

I suppose this thread is for anyone who loves this style to come and be reminded that they are awesome, or anyone who is having trouble being themselves to come be themselves with people who will appreciate it!

I also just wanted to announce my availability to talk to anyone who needs to feel a little spooky love nip.

I have seen some remarkably spooky avi's so I imagine there are quite a few of you beautiful people lurking about here and there!
