[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 194765, member: 1991"] Heather, are you sure she hasn't been getting tips from easy child 2/difficult child 2? My girl is 22 now, and wears her vampire fangs daily. She knows better than to wear them at work but as soon as she leaves and goes to change out of her uniform, on goes the Goth clothing and in go the vampire fangs. She got smaller ones so they're not quite so obvious - she feels the subtlety is much more effective. A warning from my girl to your girl - don't eat or drink while wearing the fangs, they discolour too readily and you can't get them properly white again. If you drink, make sure it's a colourless drink and use a straw. We took easy child 2/difficult child 2 to a stage production of "Rocky Horror Show" in Sydney - it was actually the LAST performance, just a month ago. It's now gone to Melbourne. And for the occasion, easy child 2/difficult child 2 dressed to kill, complete with - DIAMANTE vampire fangs! I kid you not - each fang had a small diamante embedded in the front. Last Saturday easy child came to Sydney to meet me, to shop for wedding dresses. I had also collected girlfriend so we could have a brides' session. easy child 2/difficult child 2 also joined us, the third bride in waiting. And yes, she was dressed somewhat Gothically. Short black dress (at least she wasn't wearing her full-length Morticia Addams skirt and black velvet corset), what she calls her "Susan sto Helit" boots (from Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' books, Susan is Death's adopted granddaughter) and her black parasol, because it was a hot sunny day and she has to protect her redheaded skin. At least she didn't wear her vampire teeth - I would have refused to take her into the bridal shops with her fangs. As it was... I was actually talking to easy child 2/difficult child 2 about your daughter, Heather. She has some make-up advice to pass on to her (one Goth to another): Do NOT wear all black eye make-up, you lose dimension. The effect just doesn't work. You need other colours (equally acceptable to Goths) to put shape into your face. So she recommends black mascara and eyeliner, for sure, but other colours also such as burgundy, deep brown, navy, even grey - for eyeshadow. Contour - again, burgundy is good. Lipstick - avoid pure black, because again you lose the highs and lows of your lips. Again, burgundy is good, but you can use black as a feature as well if you like. I can also tell you - with her vibrant red hair, very white skin (which flushes very red, so she chooses a very pale foundation which actually matches her skin tone but blocks the red flush) she can look striking, even MORE Goth, with her use of colour. A flash of green eyeshadow above her pale green eyes really stands out in a white face. Then there are those diamante vampire teeth... She has other Goths follow her home. We haven't fought her on it, Heather. There are far more important battles to fight. Although we DID stop her from wearing her vampire teeth to church. Disrespectful, we told her. At least during the service. Marg [/QUOTE]
