Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I personally don't like to label myself as anything- I like lots of styles and lots of genres.
If I was forced I would say I was either steampunk or 40s/50s burlesque.
To be honest though I am equally happy in trendy clothes!
Hair wise I wear clip in colour flashes to enhance my dyed red hair. I also wear roving dreads that match my hair. I sometime wear synth backcombed falls.
I used to have several sets of dreads in my natural auburn but I am not that colour now so I sold them.
I love extensions but cannot wear them due to work, have had many in my time though.

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I'm the type of girl who changes her style almost yearly. This year it's bright and baggy (I'm wearing a lot of baggy shirts and stuff) and a couple of years ago I was pretty punky/rockabilly.
I will say, I've always been a goth at heart, if I could afford to dress gothic all the time, I definitely would. I love the style of the clothes, and they suit me. I just can't afford clothes like that though, so I have to make do with what I have at the moment.

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I don't really have a label, I don't think. I suppose lots of people probably refer to me as something.
At a push I would give myself the title Aging Technopunk. But I doubt whether anyone else would describe me as that.

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
Hmmm....a middle aged punk/goth in spirit, from an outsiders perspective a west coast leftist alternative/hippie/hipster. I've worn almost all black for 25 yrs but don't wear any make up or other goth accoutrements except on special occasions. I love costumes/cosplay of all kinds. I feel like all fashion is really a costume so have fun with it.
Though I wear black i have been dying my hair bright colors and cutting it myself(many times badly:)since I was 15 (42 now), I like all kinds of crazy hair. Wigs, loose extensions, dreads.
Life's short, wear what you want. Fuck what other people think:)

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I constantly get referred to as an emo and I have literally NO idea why. I have long red hair, wear minimal makeup, don't wear any cliche goth-shop clobber... and I'm 26 ffs
My catagory is 'comfortable'. I like skinny jeans and a lot of black. I no longer give a toss about fitting into a style or scene, and although I do like a certain 'look' I don't pigeonhole myself into it. I make/alter a lot of my clothes and accessories so I probably look like a complete shambles anyways

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
No labels. People pigeon-hole us enough as it is. We shouldn't do it to each other.
I am who I am & always have been.
I'll add some pics just to show you I mean I am who I am. I don't fit in to a "catagory" which I am SUPER happy about. It used to confuse the chavs.
This doesn't really count, I suppose as it was WGW: http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 6675_n.jpg

Kids at school used to sing (out of tune) Technohead "I want to be a hippy" LAME hahahaa!

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I think I might be too old to fit into anyone's perceived categories anymore... I used to be called "goth" and "hippie" in school, but never really hung out with any of those "groups" because I was too much of the other to be cool enough for them. Their looosssss haha!
I had a bunch of raver friends too, but never was a raver. I went to one rave in Shasta City and decidedly was not in to that scene at ALL by 3:00am.

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I really don't fit anywhere either. If I'm out, I cyber-Goth it up, but other than that, I've taken bits and pieces from all the styles I've enjoyed over the years and have come up with my own style Part rockabilly, goth, cyber, hipster and so on

Re: which 'catagory' would you put yourself in?
I have no clue...I've been many things over the years and have just kept little elements of each style I suppose.
I'm mostly a skater type of zombie person
At the minute I'm wearing a camo Ed Hardy vest top and black combats, and I have bright red and yellow looooong dreads

I dressed extremely boring last night... Grendel tshirt, tripps and an old knit jacket. I looked very normal, but with orange hair. I think yesterday I got the biggest onslaught of hair comments, even though I only had it tied back in a ponytail because I was trying to be comfortable... Nothing bad though

Carny Trash Gypsy Punk
Since I don't really understand or care for most fashion, I wear things I like in colors/fabrics/designs I find aesthetically pleasing and that fit my body. Mostly inspired by Victorian circus, retro culture/pin up and a healthy does of DIY. Also, I try to keep a distinct style for when I am performing since I don't really have 'proper costume', but I kind of like it better that way because I get to stay true to myself instead of selling a character. Being me is what I do best, after all.
