Cyber Goth

okay, i don't have much time, but i will go over the basics for you.
common genres amongst cyber goths include industrial/trance/dark wave (and more).

unlike most Gothic cultures, cyber fashions are futuristic rather than taking inspiration from particular eras/ages from throughout history. the main features of a cyber outfit (and Hair) often (not always)include
- thick heavy calf/knee/full high boots, often leather of artificial fur (military style is common)
-renowned for wearing fishnets/ knee height of full (as long as they are peaking above shoes)
-very tight artificial made short skirts, short dresses, corseting and singlets (by artificial i mean smooth, almost leather like) fantasy elements, (wings, tutus)
- goggles and masks (as i did mention, high on military equipment)
-hair: often have dreads, dread falls, etc; usually in multiple colours
-accessories, anything really! belts, netted gloves, piercings
- these outfits ALWAYS! have strict colour themes such as green/black, blonde/black/blue, red/white and so on.
while goth stereotypes a simply black cyber can be quite colourful (all can actually) but cyber actually looks much better when black/white is matched up with something vibrant
check out these examples i found on google:



Lace

Lately my thoughts upon lace have been changing, evolving if you like. I have never been a fan of lace until lately. In fact I used to hate the stuff. However the more I think about it, and the more I see others use it to emphasize their fashion, the more I begin to understand that lace is rather an art in fashion.

I suppose that you already notice that lace give an outfit that time piece feel about it however, looking at the overall picture it can be used to have many desired effects.

The most known "stereotype"  would I suppose, would often be on little dresses, sometimes floral, and occasionally, sewn over the first layer of fabric. This often seems to give you a sweet, girly type of nature, and you probably see this on quite a few "girly girls".

However, lace is quite a common garment amongst more "Gothic" cultures. Not so much in the "cyber" thread of the culture, although very common amongst Victorian (and others) lace often makes the person wearing it look more sophisticated (back in those days lace wouldn't have been something everyone had in their wardrobe).

although it is one thing i have not yet seen, i think that folk fashions and lace could work well if thought through properly and if the lace factor was balanced out well.

Lace gives sophistication, when used in any way really although it does look very cute on little girls.

What makes a good quality lace?

A good quality lace probably wont be found in a $2. store (sorry to dishearten you, although it doesn’t have to be expensive) you can pick out better quality lace as it is often (not always) much thicker, you wont be able to pick out individual threads from far back and it certainly wont look anything like a net. When it comes to density, all lines of the pattern will often be very curvy and flowing rather that looking very sharp and edgy (this of course depends on the lace itself)

Anyway, while lace can be hard to pull of without looking tacky (usually when overdone or cheap quality) it can also be very fun to experiment with and may add a very defining edge to the way you dress.

For a few facts

Lastfm

recently ive been spending alot of time on lastfm. this site enables you to get a biasic profile of bands/musicians you may already know and find lots of other artists who write similar music. its quite simple to use, and covers all genres and every artist i know of (infact i spent hours trying to think of an atrist that wasnt registered on lastfm) anyway, in the top right hand corner you will find a search bar, just type an artist in (this also works for songs and albums) and away you go. the first thing you will see once you have clicked "go" is a basic profile of your selected artist. if you scroll down you will find a row of similar artists. if you want you can click "see more". selecting the listed artists will take you to their profile page where you can now suss. them out.
creating an account on lasfm enables you to comment on artists/songs/albums and listen to "lastfm radio" for only $3.00 a month (you might only want to pay if your going to use this frequently) however you wont really need an acount, i dont use mine often.
however i would say that lastfm is certainly worth checking out, its better than reading through magazines for hours looking for new music. just click here to check it out now.
