     Like any goth I am not immune to the classic gothic stereotypes. So instead of doing the popular "Un goth Confessions" tag I decided to post about my favorite things that make me goth.      For one I love coffee, early in the morning and late in the evening.  Second I love movies and TV shows about vampires and the occult. But that may just be my wiccan side.      Of course there is the obsession with skulls, spiders and all things spooky.  My favorite color is the beautiful black and I show it from head to toe.      There is also nothing better than curling up on a crisp autumn evening by the fire with a creepy gothic tale. I hope you have enjoyed and I challenge you to talk about your favorite things that make you goth. - Jessie  Holloway

Dear Baby Bats,      Welcome to the gothic community, I have been a goth for five years and I too went through the baby bat phase. So I've come up with a little advice to help your transition.      To start off, take your transition slowly, it took me a while and still to this day I'm working on my style. Start off by looking into your local thrift stores, they are cheaper than gothic clothing brands and they make your look more unique! Not to mention the fact that there clothes are much more fun to DIY.      Look into the music, do your research. Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and The Cure are a good place to start, remember goth started from the music so it is very important that you know the basics. If you don't like all of it that's fine but the most important thing is to appreciate it.      Makeup is amazing! You will have a blast playing around, don't worry if it's not perfect,  my makeup never is. And it takes lots of practice,  try working with your liner

My name is Jessie and I'm an 18 year old plus sized goth.  My all time favorite brand of clothing is "Punk Rave", the only problem is they don't make plus size clothing.  A very large percent of the population, somewhere around 67% is considered plus size. "Punk Rave" if you're ever reading this please understand that your sizes just do not fit the majority of the population and that if you were to expand on your sizes more people would be able to purchase your beautiful clothing. I myself love your brand and would be more than happy to purchase your clothing if you would only make them in plus sizes.  - Jessie Holloway
