Last year a goth femboy friend of mine went on a river float trip.

I was really curious to see what he'd look like under all that.

He wore two layers of shirts, fishnets, and baggy black pants. With striped socks of course.

And then wore the dripping outfit to dinner after.

Dedication.

I'd foster a goth girl if any are in need of rehoming.

Damn! It’s a real post!

The Cure for hyperthermia is prevention.

Was Ken Jennings a Goth kid? He would’ve graduated high school in the early 90s so he’s the right age…

Fortunately many goths have more albedo than their non goth equivalents which can help mitigate the effects

Pffft, an umbrella and net stockings will work pretty well for both arms and legs in summer. And they also make goth boots in non-thigh-high variants.

Ken Jennings is a surprisingly funny internet commenter and author. His books are actually pretty good, I wouldn't have predicted that 20 years ago.

Real goths don't go outside during summer.

Sometimes I think my Hot Topic emo fit is rough and then I go to ren faire and see a goth in 10x as many layers or someone in a full fursuit and I cannot fathom the dedication.

Goth Night at the Kadan, in the early 2000s, was kick ass! Best part was that Kadan was a dive bar, in the kinda-sketch-not-yet-gentrified neighborhood of Normal Heights, the rest of the week. But for that one night the freaks and bats came out to get hammered! It’s some lame mustachioed hipster cocktail bar now. The whole hood turned into a hipster trainwreck.

Anyway, Goths were good fun! And yes, summer in San Diego posed a complexion problem! 🤣
