WHERE ARE YOUR POSTS OH GOSH HURRY UP

Here's why I've been shirking my responsibilities:

I'M REALLY TIRED AND DELIGHTED AND COVERED IN DOG SALIVA. Rock on.

'Help, my brother is dating a goth!'

I found this one on Spookywebs daily.  My response could have been about a million times sarkier, but I went for the 'helpful with an irritated undertone' style instead.  I wasn't unnecessarily mean, was I?

Question by Poor: How do I stop my brother from dating a goth chick?
A goth chick? My brother is a freakin idiot, how do I stop this?

"As a long-time goth myself, I can cheerfully tell you that not only should you not police his partners based solely upon their fashion/music choices, but you can also be assured that, despite media hype, goths are often rather nice people who like baking, happy music and making friends – not ‘satanic rituals’, ‘drinking goats blood’ or ‘eating children’.
Instead of trying to stop your brother from dating people in your personal disapproval list, I would suggest that you examine WHY you are so offended by his choice in ladies – perhaps even read a few things about goths BY goths to find out if your prejudices are substanciated [oops, clumsy typo-there!]. If you end up broadening your mind it will surely lead to a happier relationship between you, your brother, and his likely-rather-nice girlfriend, and will set you up for more lovely new friendships and good interpersonal relationships in the future."

I should also have added that the new girlfriend probably has a similarly poor view of this person's clothing, hence why she looks a bit different.

So you know what I look like with the makeup I advocate below.  It's not exactly 'flawless airbrushed super-HD OMGWOW!' that many advertisments claim but it works well enough for me.

No tricks, no unnecessary bending! 

Upgrading

My new webcam has been dispatched, so I'll hopefully be back with another video tutorial (I'm thinking an eyeliner 101)  around the end of the week.
