Goths in the Daily Mail...

Goth who walks fiancee on a leash is banned by bus driver who told him: 'No dogs allowed'

The Daily Mail reports that, basically, goths are treated like weirdos because they dress weird.

This is one reason I don't miss dressing crazy on a day-today basis any more.

I have my grannie's voice in my head going 'she'll catch her death going out dressed like that in weather like this'

Oh, daily mail.

The comments are comedy gold.

What idiots! What do they do when they go to work? Dress the same? Or don't they work? They would never get past a first stage interview dressed like this.

He looks like a work-shy scrounger to me, get a job and pay your way.

If he was a gentleman goth, he would loan her his coat.

The first two comments are more a comment on the average Daily Mail reader than the people being reported on. I entirely concur with the final one though, she looks chilly (not to mention silly but I uphold her right to look as daft as she may like in public despite the fact that she will more than likely regret it in a few years time).

I can't comment on how she looks, as I'm sure I've looked MUCH siller in the past...

Thats how I know she may regret it. Oh the wonders of hindsight.

hehe :)

I don't think I regret the way I dressed, so much as look back in amusement and horror...

[sepheri.livejournal.com]

its not so much the clothing itself, but that I felt it so very necessary.

heh :) Yeah, I know that feeling.

I once took 2 hours to get dressed to pop to asda.
