How do I look?

[MollyMac]

Damn. I had to stiffle a giggle.

O.M. just has self esteem issues and looks to others to abate them. And so, he will always have sel-esteem issues. How he dresses and applies make-up (and sacrificing vision for eyeliner is just plaim idiotic) is not relevant to anything until he can sort his shit out on his own.

Kind of like M. J.

I think you look quite nice actually, in contrary to what everyone here seems to be commenting. You look much better in the photo where you're smiling. You've got a nice smile.
I do think that you should dress up your jacket some though. That's what brando jackets were made for!
More importantly, you should achieve a trademark of some sort. Just a look that's totally yours. When mentioning a signature look, I can't help but remark that letting everyone dictate your fashion sense isn't going to help. Sure, advice is advice, but trying to satisfy everyone makes you just as pitiful as celerities who starve themselves to get roles.

Piss off. Michael Jackson... That man is a brownie hound!
Don't EVER compaire me to that 'guy'.
I can joke around, but I have my limits.

Good advice. Oh, and thaks for the nice remarks!
Mollymac can be a bit harsh, but I tend to think that good honest opinions are good, but harshness is over the top. Okay, I'll go drink me coffee now.

To all, if what I am doing doesn't look good, what the fuck do you suggest I do? Dress in blue jeans with a brown belt? Wear T-shirts with bright colors?
Wear bland colored puffy jackets with a trucker's Budweiser cap?
Walk around looking like everyone else? Bland and uninteresting?
Even though I don't look like a proper goth, atleast I set myself apart from the normies. I would rather look like a fucked up goth then one of those celery sticks. Bear with me, I don't know them but they all look very similar,
bland and generic.

I am sorry I offend people, but that's how I feel.

Yeah.... That sounds pretty good.

[Opteron_Man]

Uhh, I dug though a drawer and I found a bunch of school pictures from 1997 when I was in 6th grade. I looked so much like the dork you'd shove into a locker. I'll take a snap of the photo cause I'm too lasy to install my flatbed scanner. Oh my teeth! They were even more crooked!

It's not hard, not far to reach, you can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach..

Dye your hair purple, and add patches to the jacket.

Are you serious? I allways toyed with the idea.

[Opteron_Man]

I have problems.

I thought about trying it (weed), but I'd want to do it at a party with friends.
I have never ever been invited to any party, and I don't know ANY goth in Sault Ste Marie, so the odds of me trying weed are slim.
The number of friends I do have, I can count on one hand, and that is being as generous as I can. They don't have much to do with me. I am lonely and I repulse people by my weirdness. People don't even like sitting next to me on the bus. If I dissapeared, it wouldn't matter. Even my family are strangers now.
I am sinking into a pit of my of my own creation. I'd like to think that I am nice on the inside? I stayed to myself when I was a kid cause I had no friends. I will find a way to pull myself together today. But I allways fall back to the gloom of loneliness.

[Albert Mond]

Looks like OpteronMan finally tried weed and it's confusing him.

[Malice In Wonderland]

To be fair.
You do look boring.
And I'm not just saying that because I don't like you.
Because I don't have anything really against you.

Have the hair cut somehow.
Who gives a fuck if you look "emo"?
"Emo" hair can look good when pulled off.
Just say it's New-Wave or New Romantic if it bothers you that much.
Try flipping your collar up on the jacket.
Roll the sleeves up?
Don't zip/buckle it up.
Try tighter jeans?
Bigger boots?
Ripped fishnets, vests and jeans is possibely one of my favourite outfits.
Plus a tight blazer or biker jacket.
Button up shirts?
Your tshirt appears to hang off you in the second picture.
I personally don't find that appealing, you should try tighter tshirts.
It's all up to you though.

Makeupwise you should try with a lighter straighter line.
Or learn to smudge it properly with eyeshadow.
You should look at Dave Vanian for instance if you want smudgy eyeliner.

You need to experiment to see what suits you.
If you want hair ideas message me or something.

Ask for my MSN if you want.

I'll gladly talk to you about clothes/fashion.
As long as you don't start talking about how to make energy from dog shit.

[Malice In Wonderland]

Dang I missed the edit time.
When I said lighter straighter line.
I didn't necessarily mean shadewise.
I mean not so heavy.
You should try liquid eyeliner.
Preferably only on the top lid.
And maybe mascara.

Also weed is boring as fuck stay away from it.

I'd like to start with: celery is actually pretty tasty.

Now, the real response.
Just because we tell you that you look boring in what you're wearing doesn't mean that you're not goffik.
Malice has GREAT suggestions there
Fishnets are friends.
Take the advice and get some pins and patches. Paint some things on that black jacket of yours! It's a beast. I'd kill to own a leather jacket x.x
On another forum there was a leather jacket thread and it had heaps of cool ideas. A vest one too. :P I could PM you the link if you ask for it (I don't think I'm allowed to post links to other forums?).
A look that I was contemplating last night was my torn to hell jeans (about 10-20 large rips in 'em) with fishnets underneath. No idea how that'd look though.

Just try new things. Buy some patches, pins. Don't be afraid to change how you look. Tease the shit out of your hair (youtube is your friend for things like this if you don't know how to do it) and put hairspray in it. Tear up some fishnets. Got cash? Interwebz!


Anyone know if paint pens work well with leather jackets?






That was a pretty roughly structured post. heh.


EDIT: Forgot the colour.

Some steampunk goggles would look badass on you.

Yes, they work fine on any kind of leather, as do tipp-ex pens. Stay away from acrylic paint though, I made that mistake writing the whole Shadowplay lyrics on a pair of creepers. I walked 5 steps and half of it just peeled clean off. What also works instead of paint pens is if you get a spray can and just spray some paint in the lid, then use a toothpick instead of a brush.

Opteron_Man:

I would like to say something that I mean to be helpful - not antagonizing or hurtful - so I hope it doesn't come out that way.

It seems that most of your posts on here are posts asking what we think of you in some way or another; which leads me to believe that you are desperately searching for approval/acceptance.

You will be hard-pressed to find such approval and acceptance from others until you can truly come to approve and accept yourself. lol, I'm not trying to sound cheesey, I swear! However, I think that instead of posting pictures of yourself on here and asking us to mold you into something/someone that we "approve" of, you should take the time to get to know yourself better.

You need to become comfortable in your own skin - and that is something that you need to accomplish on your own - not by asking idiotic douche-bags like us here on Gnet how to do it.

Anyways, please don't take that as an insult, as it most definitely was NOT meant to be one.

I will give you one piece of "fashion" advice though: stop hiding your insecurities behind your hair. You are an attractive guy. Brush your hair out of your face and start acting like one.

[Malice In Wonderland]

I also notice you look uncomfortable and tense in your photos.
Don't be so tense man.
If you want my MSN I'll message you it so we can discuss clothes and hair.

[Necrophagist]

Don't discuss anything of the sort with Malice.

[JCC]

Your glasses don't suit you at all; don't wear oval glasses, they're just not good. Get some rectangular ones or some contacts. Also, your style lacks personality.

[Malice In Wonderland]

On that note don't discuss anything with Necrophagist.

Unless you want a completely senseless pile of dog's puke and shit pummeled through your ears...

[Necrophagist]

What a rubbish comeback! Find another one!

[Malice In Wonderland]

Yes a rubbish comeback...
There was nothing to come back to you twerp.
