Baby Goths
Found this linked off the yakyak forums. It's so funny I have to share it. Even when I was at school with kids who were like this (constantly conforming to the latest non-conformist subculture) I could see how utterly ridiculous it was. Read the article, laugh your head off then read some of the comments, there are some classics in there. One, maybe two, of the kids featured in the article actually left comments too.
What is with their names? "Shadow Mercy", "Misery Whispers" and "Lord Mercy"?!

Oh the ironing! You strive so hard to look different, yet you all end up looking the same.

As Liz said when she read that: 'do you think he meant to wrte "ironing"?'
I am 13 from Canada. Is it possible to be both preppy and gothic? I am going for that look. Thanks.

Okay, how about spending a little more time learning how to spell and a little less time putting on make-up and conforming to the non-conformist ways?
