Pretty things are going to Hell

[shesinparties]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Who was the first pretty gothic 'thing' you ever laid your eyes Upon?[/DarkOrange]

[shesinparties]

ok.I'll go first...
I think it was the wicked witch in Snow White..I am not sure but did anyone else have a crush on her?.I always had a feeling I was a little bit wicked and a little bit sweet..I had a crush on both Snow White and her wicked step mother...mainly because at the time they both sported black hair and my hair was a very very dark shade of brown ...kids in grade school even callled me snow white..aw those days are gone..but of course the tradition is still going on for me... .....and then in highschool the more popular thoughts ..Siouxsie..Robert Smith...Peter Murphy...blah..blah..

[Rozzlyn]

Honestly, the guy who very soon afterward became my brother-in-law. I was five.

[MikeCreep]

Lydia Deets / Winona Ryder in 1988. I was 6 or 7 at the time.

[ForrestBlack]

I might me showing my age here, but it was all about the kinky Catwoman in the early to mid 70's Batman TV series, followed shortly by Deborah Harry and her crazy sexy ultra cool clublife style.

[mybigblackcockdotcom]

Mmmmmm, Julie Newmar. Yeah, she and Yvonne Craig in that metallic purple Bat-Girl suit, they were the good shit right there. Of course, Lynda Carter must be credited in this discussion as inventing the hard-on when she played Wonder Woman (though Charlie's Angels were right in that time period too, I typically give the prize to Lynda as the inventor...). Right in that time period, but not as in-the-flesh as the others, was Joe Staton's Huntress character (the original one, who was the daughter of the Earth-2 Batman and Catwoman). Man, that was a fine piece of woman. OK, I'll stop geeking out over comic book characters now, and go...um...take a shower or something. Yeah. That's it.

[Amelia G]

Maybe not exactly goth, but probably Joan Jett.

I would have to agree on that one. Fairy Tales really affected me when I was younger. I fell on love with corsets through Snow White. I cant say it was the movie version though, but I would sit and read fairy tales for hours. So she looked alittle different in my head.

Also Ive had a thing for the stereotyped saloon girls since I was little too. The fishnets and granny boots with garter belt, nothing better.

[Zoe_Zoebaboe]

Heh, my first crush was Tim Curry from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Does that count?

I never *got* Rocky like so many folks did, but that definitely counts.

I think the problem for me might have been that I saw it first in an English language theatre in the Middle East when I was fourteen and none of us knew there was supposed to be a food fight or costumes or something involved in the festivities.

Ah, understandable.


The first time I saw it I was 8 years old watching it with my dad. I didnt catch onto it until I saw it in a Theater, and then joined the cast.


Ive played Janet, Magenta, and Trixie

[Bizarre Star]

The first fro me was this beautiful alluring woman walking thorugh the supermarket pushing a cart of groceries, in a red leather corset, and long flowing black skirt with boots. Her makeup drew you into her eyes. I was like 8 and I was mezmerized. She seems so out of place to me atthe time...like she should be somewhere much more suited for her beauty than a piggly wiggly (I grew up in NC as a child)! I also adored the fairytale temptresses.

[Cafe_Post_Mortem]

What?

No love for Elvira?!?

OK, I saw Julie Newmar as Catwoman first. And if I am honest with myself I know that if a girl really knows how to purr she owns me. But Elvira. Funny, sexy, wears too much makeup, big hair even for the 80s. MST3K had nothing on her. Nothing.

[One Eyed Cat]

Siouxsie Sioux (then I dated about 12 of her disciples)
There was this Noni chick that used to hang out at the Phoenix, she was really a lil punk rock girl tho.

OEC

[BrightStar]

Either Elvira or somebody before Her. **

[nuentoter]

Glenn Danzig and Pete Steele were 2 huge influences

[Drakken]

Lily in the black dress dance scene in Ridley Scotts 'LEGEND'

[BrightStar]

Possibly that. I know it was from either 60's, 70's, or 80's. The First Girl like that that I liked. **

I thought the mannequin looked better in the dress but that was probably because she had a full body spiderweb-mesh suit..

Pop off just the head and screw on the actress' head = PERFECT.

Maybe. I cant remember the first Actress or whoever similar to that, but I know it was from those decades. **

[hewhoisagod]

............. Morticia Addams

[morbid_lady]

lydia from beetlejuice, ever since i saw that movie when i was little i've wanted to name my daughter lydia

[Mirren]

Lilly Munster.

[CPRB]

I think OEC said it as I scrolled down Quickley Soixsie Soiux....and for just creepy Nena Hagen.....

[CPRB]

but Thora Birtch is a close second

[Damniel]

Alaska... she's an spanish singer used to be kinda goth but now it's more electro, but she played Dr. Frank n Furter on a mexican version of Rocky Horror, she was my first crush, and still is, and one of the top ten reasons i took this path... Her band it's called Fangoria... i was very young so perhaps that's wy i still like her...

[GasmaskGirl]

t-rex.
when i was a kid, looking at my dad's t-rex records, and definately alice cooper too.

[kshearsedriver]

Lilly Munster and Lydia Deets for sure. Also David Bowie in Labrynth as the goblin king. That's about as far back as I can remember, I have a horrible memory.

[Drakken]

Boy George form Culture Club too, definitely. Though he's not 'goth'.
Just very pretty and a man wearing makeup.

[KilLAtomiK]

Possibly that. I know it was from either 60's, 70's, or 80's. The First Girl like that that I liked. **

way to narrow it down lol

[Evilbink]

gotta go with Morticia Addams. she was so slick

[bre.star]

hrmm i cant quite remember because i always a dark child...but i know i became absolutely obsessed with vampires in 5th grade when i saw interview with the vampire. my mom took me to a thrift shop where i found a beautiful dark blue velvet dress and i was a vampire for halloween hehe

[One Eyed Cat]

I think OEC said it as I scrolled down Quickley Soixsie Soiux....and for just creepy Nena Hagen.....

ahh Nena. I had a crush on this German exchange student right about then. I was 14, she was like 20 haha.

OEC

[Amelia G]

I feel like I should know the exact moment I first came across something dark and beautiful and I just can't think of what the first glimpse would have been. I can think of a lot of things I found darkly erotic or lovely early on, but I have no idea what was first. I'm going to keep wracking my brain.

[CarnalxKiss]

I'd have to say from television/movies...Lillian Munster and Morticia Adams...but in the music field....Early 80's Lydia Lunch..(i even stole her cleavage tat...(an ankh) as my first tat, when i was 17. After Lydia...was Exene Cervenka... Wendy O Williams from the plasmatics...mmmm i still love the Goddess of Punk...Nina Hagen....etc etc...

[tinstar]

The skinhead couple that went to my high school.

He was like 17 and she was 14. They were always making out in hall. I think he killed her dad and stole her or something. She was the first girl in my class to get pregnant - eventually, it was said that our class colors were really pink and baby blue. But yeah, they were as bizarre and disgusting as they were fascinating to me. Strangely, she turned out completely normal as an adult. She is in marketing now and, while still gorgeous, bears no resemblance whatsoever to her teenage self. She even has a tan.

[shesinparties]

oh' lala!

[cheinara wraithwalker]

Christina Ricci.

[devil13]

Nina Hagen, Siouxie, Lilly Munster, and my girlfriend when I was 14

[Amelia G]
