Goth Eye for the Prep Guy - Tuesday Morning
Abby was waiting for the class, wearing her usual goth attire and holding a black parasol. "Morning, guys! Welcome to a really twisted version of fashion class. You're going to learn the ins and outs of the best looking fashion trend to hit geeks and vampires. Or geeks who like to pretend to be vampires and vice versa."
She held up a stuffed rabbit that seemed to have very sharp pointy teeth. "This is Poindexter and he wants to be a goth. He's got a head start because he's already pale. For those of you who aren't pale, you're either going to need to start staying indoors or investing in some pasty makeup. Speaking of makeup, the next step in Poindexter's transformation is eyeliner. Lots and lots of eyeliner. All black of course. That goes for guys just as much as girls." As Abby talked, she took eyeliner and drew carefully around the rabbit's eyes.
"Next we move onto clothing and one word sums up the clothing for a true goth....black." Abby whipped out a wee pair of black trousers and a black top with buckles. "Some goths will tell you that you need lace or leather or velvet. But really, all you need is black. Lots and lots of black. Rule of thumb is to stand in front of a mirror and then turn off the lights. If you look like more than just a disembodied head, you need more black. Also, this top has buckles. Goths like buckles. I'm not really sure why...maybe we have some psychological attachment to the pilgrims or something."
"Last but not least....accessories!" Abby fastened an ankh necklace around Poindexter's neck and a studded bracelet around his front paw. Grabbing a pair of tiny platform boots, she started wiggling them onto his back paws. "As you can see, the bigger the boot, the better. In fact, all your shoes should be tall and clunky. Between the shoes, the jewelry, the buckles and the obvious pain of existence; the only quiet thing about a goth should be their clothing color choices."
"Now, lets see how well you all were listening." Abby said and pointed to a box decorated with a pink polo shirt with a red X through it. "Get rid of all your non-goth clothes here. That's right, dump in your pastels and your chinos and your sneakers. Make a new outfit from the supplies on the table."

"A shirt on top of this one?" he asks, and looks at the box, picking up what looks like a fishnet shirt, long sleeved, one of many shades of black. "This'll be alright?"
Like, if he takes off the sleeveless shirt and puts on the fishnet, then puts the sleeveless one back on, zipping it up again.
"Can you really be a goth if you're blonde?" he says with a bit of a grin. Because if the boy smiles, he looks like sunshine incarnate, even with the dreary wardrobe.
Re: Introduction and getting nekkid!
"If you've got the attitude, you can pull off blonde. But I'd recommend coloring your hair. If you don't want to commit, try some of the extensions and use a lot of eyeliner."
Re: Introduction and getting nekkid!
He blinks.
"I don't know how to put it on."
Or whether it'd even look good.

Stepping closer, she moved in to put on the eyeliner. "Open your eyes wide and look up."
Re: Introduction and getting nekkid!
"They all look pretty busy. I'll probably learn how to do it myself."
He's just never really seen any girls wearing eyeliner, or any makeup.

Re: Introduction and getting nekkid!
He'd never noticed that before, really.

"I'll remember that."
