Elaborate makeup aside, there were other note-worthy things that night. There was a guy that looked like he could have been in Bauhaus. His 80's goth look was in full effect and I loved it.
Unfortunately he looked to be in his late 40s. Where are all the 20-something 80's goth rock looking guys at? Hit me up! I'm not talking Hot Topic, I'm talking Ian Curtis look-a-like.
There was also a goth girl there doing some classic goth dance moves such as "kicking the smurf" and "moving through the cobwebs". Priceless.
In an effort to steer this post away from 100% goth talk, I ran into Mel and Shane that night. It was great seeing them again.
Melisser is leaving for Europe Thursday and will be leaving me dance partner-less for weeks! SIGH.
I think the best way to end this post is with a picture of Steve Strange of Visage:
How nice.80's music in 2010. MY sympathy goes to that guy in his late 40s hanging out with 20s. I am in my 40s and enjoyed the synth sounds of my youth. I show my two kids the music I was into. And they laugh.
