Goth Challenge - Day 30: Make a list of blogs you...
My favourite tumble logs are Fuck Yeah Goths and the post-punk blog with the biggest hair, and I also enjoy Gothic Fashion and Crescentia Moon (for the romantic stuff), the Everyday Goth, Deathwaves, Audiogruft, Himmelgrau and the goth page a lot (and a many more in my list…). The German blogs Spontis, Der schwarze Planet, and the personal blogs of Rosa Chalybeia and Sabrina Kirnapci...

Goth Challenge - Day 29: What do you think will...
The whole dark subculture in all it’s various manifestations will probably not suffocate on it’s own vomit (as I sometimes wish it should) but will continue to thrive and prosper, again and again being exploited by the mainstream, resulting in a load of newbies who won’t be around anymore about two years later… new fashion trends will come and go, some more musical styles...

Goth Challenge - Day 28: Do you consider yourself...
Depends… I’m almost 30 and mostly listen to 80’s music - so probably: Yes. But I’ve only actively and consciously been around the scene for about 6 years… You decide - I just realized I do not give a flying toss.

Goth Challenge - Day 27: The worst thing you ever...
What strange kind of question is this? As far as I’m aware I have never done anything bad to a newbie (and if so certainly not because he/she was a newbie)… SKIP!

Goth Challenge - Day 26: Show a photo for every...
Impossible, since I cannot say when I actually became a goth… I don’t really know where to draw the line. But considering when people started calling me a goth (and also considering that I hardly have any photos of my early years) it should be something like this: 2005: 2006 (on the right): 2007: 2008: 2009: 2010: 2011: All in all not THAT big a change, I guess :)

Goth Challenge - Day 25: Did you ever consider...
Well, I no longer visit a lot of clubs I used to visit and my taste in clothes has become somewhat less “sceney” due to my interest in what the subculture once used to be. So probably some younger “goths” will not instantly consider me part of their subculture (listening to boring techno-free music and wearing strange pointy shoes and not featuring a single studded belt or...

I’m afraid I don’t hang around goth websites safe a bunch of blogs (that I will write about some time next week).

Goth challenge - Day 23: Your favourite artist or...
There is not THE one artist I admire most. I do like the Romantic/Gothic stuff of Caspar David Friedrich: the sombre illustrations of Gustave Doré: or some expressionists like Vincent van Gogh or Edvard Munch: When it comes to photography I admire the work of Alice K. and VisualField:

Goth Challenge - Day 22: If you could attend any...
Hm… I would like to have a look at Whitby or maybe some US thing, just to get an impression of the goth community outside Germany. But I’m actually not very keen on big goth events. I’ve been to the Wave Gotik Treffen once (in 2009) and found it an experience I am not keen on repeating (too much fancy carnival and cyber shit going on).

Goth Challenge - Day 21: What body mod do you have...
Oh, nothing fancy for me. Just some earrings and a little tattoo on the chest. I plan getting some more tattoos and a nose piercing, but that’s about it…

Goth Challenge - Day 19: Share beauty advise and...
Woohoo, what a manly thing to do! :D My full make up usually consists of “Manhattan 2 in 1” make-up and powder (no. 15, porcellain), black eyeliner and two different kinds of eye shadow (mostly black and a shade of grey). I like to apply the eye shadow with that little foam top thingies - using my fingers didn’t really work for me and with brushes I usually spray a lot of the...

Goth Challenge - Day 18: Worst hair experience
That’s also easy: Realizing I was beginning to lose it at the age of 19 (which was in 2001). Yay bandanas! :)
