Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 16:45:14 EDT From: Goth666grl@aol.com Subject: (re-INTRO) The Youngest of them all To: Hello All.....I think I may be the *Youngest* Goth on this list- so bare with me Please! Well, My name is Lisa Kelly . I been on the list about over a year. The evil Gemini has just turned 17 ! I was born & raised in Brooklyn and still in the same Park Slope Apartment i came home to all bundled up from the hospital 17 years ago. I had quite i ride with the game of life so far.I lost my Mother at 9, Best friend at 13 and all other half of my Family at 15...so that has made me turn into the overly mature 37 year old acting but sometimes complex lil girl i am....Enough with my sad lil orphan story! Growing up I was always different ...I was always Artistic and let expression be thru the Arts . I could never be comfortable with myself and couldn't find a "True " me. I didn't have a clue what was missing until 4 years ago one Valentine's Day...I was trying to scare off this boy that was stalking me and decided to change my appearance. I threw on this long Black velvet dress ,boots and some dark make up and * Fell In Love* i didnt know what had happen but felt complete in some way. The funniest was when he found me that day and handed a $50 bouquet of wild colorful flowers,i became annoyed and threw them in the garbage in front of him because they didn't coordinate with my outfit....Sorry if this sounds "Poseur" like ! Just started off as a mere Joke but has change my life and who i am... Right now i attending F.I.T starting next month Majoring in Fashion Design . I always had a passion for corsets, peasants skirts, bustles etc..I am destine to become BIG and i know it! This may be the only confidence i have so dont mistaken me for big-headed. I worked in the Fashion Industry for the past 2 years doing Fashion Merchandising, Accessories, and i also worked for the cooperate office of Ann Taylor which is the biggest mistake i made and in the process of taking them to court for various assault charges and what not.... I am currently working The Gothic Shoppe ( which i assume all of you must know of!) Yes, I work with the lovely Leonardo!!! Right now i am working with the new amazing hair products and other tasks . i just barely started but i am extremely excited and love it!!! My Hobbies....Hmm...I love being bored, writing , playing in the woods, working on my designs, hanging in cool coffee shops, visiting my mommys grave -heh, i need to bond! Of course since im into fashion i love to Shop and find the biggest cheapest stuff! And..O yes...I have a major Barbie Fetish! I like to Re-design them sometimes and hang them in cages like Go-Go dancers! It's also my lil nickname i go by- Goth~Barbie since i sorta look like her but in a goth sense! My secret passion is become a Betsey Johnson or Alexander McQueen Model ...Come'on who can reject a Pink hair Barbie looking gal in PVC and fishnets! Ha! I am not a major music fanatic.....most likely because i haven't gotten into the club scene because of my icky age.....but soon! What is laying my my CD player right now is a mixed cd with Bauhaus , Love & Rockets , Cure etc..also an old Hole cd ( who can not like "Voilet"!) I dont know many people on the List personally . I am very friendly & socialible- dont get me wrong. Obviously the whole club scene i am not familiar with yet so that may be it. Oh, if anyone is from F.I.T let me know because it would be cool to some Gothy buddies! I am in still in the stage of lurking after a year - i like to observe from the best of the best but hoping to involve myself more often . Just think about it...Geri-Goths or whoever else that is older then me...which is Everyone!.....You can adopt this cute lil modest goth baby gal and help her explore the darkness she has yet to endure! What i really mean is.....I would like to THANK everyone in this past year for expanding my knowledge of this wonderful subculture! I will hopefully be joining you Folks soon in completeness! ~Lisa~ a.k.a. *Goth~Barbie*
