Photos from this year's Wave Gotik Treffen.

(Why yes, I am now filled with the urge to dress up even MORE elaborately. Go ahead, try to look surprised by that bit of news.)

I swear by everything I hold dear, I WILL attend WGT one year. Look at all those gorgeous gothy types!

Some of those people CAMP in those outfits. That's hardcore.

(Someone who has attended WGT religiously for several years tells me that unless you're very much into the music--which leans far more to the thumpy side than the swirly side--there's really not much to do. This came up when he was trying to persuade me to go and I pointed out that I didn't like any of the bands playing.)

I went a few years ago, and had a blast.

This is when they still had Black Metal bands scheduled, so there'd be a running contest between the Goths and the BMers to see who could look more disaffected and put out by life. Neither really liked the Rivetheads who were all jazzed because OMG LAIBACH!!!!!!1

On a side note-- I spent way too much time singing "Worst Pies" with my friend on the way up to the Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball last weekend...

(I believe you know said friend-- epictangent?)

looking at all of these after finding out I'm losing out on my month of dress up is even more depressing ..... sigh

I love veils.

Darn you! Darn you to heck! My fave: #270. I love how styles from nearly historical to Burneresque are there.

I am now filled with the urge to dress up even MORE elaborately.

I'm filled with the urge to dress up, well, period.

If you ever make it to WGT, it better be the year that I go. It makes me wonder what temperatures are like in May there.

What I find funny is all the color. When were were there in 2001, black and only black was in vogue. In the states, you could always see a token goth in white but not in Germany that year. In the main hall that held 4 or 5 thousand, Eric stated that he could find our group in the middle of the hall from the edge by the beer stand because I was wearing a black and white cammo jacket and stood out because I was the only bit of white in the room. I looked around and it was true.

So now it's interesting to see how the fashions have changed in the last 7 years.

It's odd to see them out in daylight. Not quite . . . proper.

Makes me want to dig through my closet and dress up more.

Damn. It's enough to make me feel barely goth. I do have a couple of goth outfits in mind - one of which is half done but it's hard to get things made when one doesn't sew and the only folks available to do outfits for them are terminally busy...

I *can* however see about working on that project I have where I'm going to be sewing a bunch of mother of pearl bats onto a lacy parasol...

I love her outfit: http://lh3.ggpht.com/sebastianlor/SCtM_TK-UxI/AAAAAAAAC9A/-JzKhf5PNlU/DSC_1013.JPG?imgmax=640

Oh my, all of those pretty people. So nice to see some folks make an effort to dress up!

[nimue-obscure.livejournal.com]

have you been to a Whitby gothic weekend yet? Lots of the same crowd, but even more goff! I honestly saw WGT and thought WGW until i read the responses :)

[nimue-obscure.livejournal.com]

And...wow. Goffs in daylight! Craziness! All the better for seeing all the details on the pretty pretty outfits. I love the matched pairs, and most of the gorgeous dresses topped with lovely parasols. Delicious. But what is up with the masks? are biohazard masks a new steampunk accesssory? I haven't been out in so very long that i've lost all sense of fashion :(

mmmmmm pretty
