Remember how high fashion tried to cash in on the Grunge Look 20 years ago?

that's what Petty looks like with the cleaned up Goth Look. Good for her for trying new things, it's what people like her get to do but that's about as Goth as Abby on NCIS.

That's basically what I said on B2. It's the fashion world's take on goth. It's okay but boring. - Krusty May 11, 09:00 17
- her thing is cute. this is just cute with a different slant. i liked it, but i don't think it's authentic goth, but i'm not sure it has to be. - Andie May 11, 09:03 9
  - 15 year old you would have stabbed her in the face, IIRC. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 09:04 8
    - oh, probably, if she herself actually called herself a goth. has she? -- nm - Andie May 11, 09:07 7
      - Goth is a style. I don't think it's something people go around calling themselves. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 09:12 1
        
        Well, you can Google "I'm goth" or "I'm a goth" and see that people do. But really, adapting a goth style for "a look" is different, and probably - mara May 11, 09:14

        sure, but i have no idea whether, off ST, Katy Perry thinks she's goth. - Andie May 11, 09:09 1
        
        Okay. -- nm - mara May 11, 09:12
        
        Ack, Katy. -- nm - mara May 11, 09:08
      - don't think so, just people who see the picture. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 09:07
- Well, she was not trying to be one. The world knows who she is, and that is not goth. So even if she really *tried* she would not be so might as - Iron Spawn May 11, 09:03 3
  - She went a bit further than just wearing black but I get your point. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 09:10 2
    - If she wanted to sell it she needed wrist scabs or bandages. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 09:13 1
      - Heh. :-) About 10 tattoos wouldn't hurt either. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 09:16
- it's devoid of meaning -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 09:01
- she does everything cute, that's her thing. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 09:01 1
  - She's cute, no doubt about that. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 09:07
$75 flannel! Be just like the broke musicians! -- nm - spamlet May 11, 08:52 1
- Thrift Store Chic -- nm - znufrii May 11, 08:53
She switches it up, which I like. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 08:48
it's a pretty black dress, not goth. -- nm - znufrii May 11, 08:48 4
- the dress looks like Gaultier. To be fair to Katy, I'm the one who called it goth. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 08:49 3
  - We should call this style "Gotye". -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 08:51 1
    - Lil Pip has the biggest crush on that guy - I don't see it. - Epiphany May 11, 08:53
  - it's a good look for her, nonetheless... -- nm - znufrii May 11, 08:50
My first thought on seeing that pic was "Goth lite. How cute." -- nm - con_carne May 11, 08:47 1
- my first thought was, "Oh I f**king love this girl." -- nm - Jovian May 11, 08:48
agreed - I think she looks prettier the other way -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 08:47
oh and she's smiling... - Mel Profit May 11, 08:47
