Goth Role Models

When I first got a smartphone (and internet) I would stay up all night researching tutorials and such, mainly on YouTube. Here is a short list of a few of my inspirations. I hope they help and can become your role models too!

Kill Natalie-

This was my first active role model. She is very smart and loves writing, poetry, and music just like me!I love her romantic goth style mixed with vampire goth was adorable. She doesn't post much anymore but is definitely worth checking out.

Joji Grey-

Amazing. Awesome. Joji is very opinionated and has plenty of advice for many goth things. There are posts about life, help for people, and even what to do when your parents don't accept you being a goth.

Sebastian Columbine-

Beautiful! She doesn't like gender roles, but for this I will refer to her as a female to make it easier. She is death rock, or trad goth, as some would call it. Tons of tutorials from this girl as well as opinions and advice also. Sebastian is hilarious! If you need a good laugh or just a tutorial for her flawless makeup, visit her YouTube!

Kazlovesbat or @the_goblin_queen -

Allison is one of my favorite of my inspirations. She posts makeup, fashion, advice, opinions, and much more. I love her attitude as well as her look. She is the singer in a band called Esoterik which is, by the way, AMAZING!!! It seems like a mix of traditional 80's goth music and modern music. She is also the best at responding to her fans, especially on Instagram. She responded to me once with just a smiley face, and I about crapped mah pants. She even came up with her own style she calls Elven Goth. It is based off of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Allison is a MUST to check out!

Well hope this list may help and inspire you as these people did for me. :) Feel free to comment. Email me at vamp5797@gmail.com  Or visit my YouTube channel. Thanks for reading!

My Baby Bat Years

The story of how I became a Goth.

I have always loved to read. I have also always loved vampires. I used to go to my local library to get books in the teen fiction section. One day in 5th grade I came across a book titled: Vampire Kisses. I was instantly interested.
The book is about a Goth girl named Raven who loves vampires as much as I do. I instantly fell in love with Raven. She was my role model. She wore black lipstick, dark makeup, knee high Demonia boots, and always stuck up for herself.
Because I always have loved things that are dark, this made me realize what I should do. I was just like Raven, so why not be Goth too?
My parents wouldn't allow me to wear black makeup of any kind, nor black nail polish and clothes. So I wore silver. Everyday I put on silver lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, etc. I always grew up listening to metal and rock, so that wasn't hard.
After a while, when my parents began to grow apart, I slowly started getting darker. I began painting my nails black, then black eyeliner. Soon I was a full on Baby Bat. I was the stereotypical Goth.
I never had internet until 8th or 9th grade. Once I did, I began to research. I looked up the Goth subculture, Goth music, and what it means to be a true Goth. I began to grow out of my Baby Bat stage. I got my own combat boots and wore black all the time.
There are many types of Goth. Such as Cyber Goth, Romantic Goth, Deathrock, Lolita Goth,  and Vampire Goth. But I like some things from many of these, so why put myself in a category within another category?
Now I have to wear uniforms for school but still manage to express myself with my jewelry, hair, makeup, and shoes.
So if you are a Baby Bat, don't fret! We were all Baby Bat's at one point in time. And they shouldn't be made fun of, they are just taking an interest and learning as they go.

Be yourself!!!
