I am all for the "to each their own" as far as personal appearance. If you wanna get your Clothing, makeup and fashion sense from the goth/vampire/matrix section of your local halloween store, go ahead, but don't be pissed when people look at you curious as to why you made a conscious decision to leave the house that way. You are a rebel, making a statement, full speed ahead, emo.
But remember, this is just a phase, and when you are 60, looking back at these pictures, you better have a good story to explain this look to your grandkids why you look like this.
