 Painting myself in white makeup makes my make-up a little more flexible in my opinion; this is because it hides my features. I did decide on Malice Mizer for make-up because I feel that I relate most to their dark romantic themes. However, in my American-goth scene I just like "old-school" goth to everyone else, because of the white make-up and big hair. Some people mistake me as Asian in my VK style, even if they don't know what VK is. I do attempt a combination of VK and American-goth to make myself a little more unique. I'm emulating a genre, but I'm not trying to be Asian or trying to look EXACTLY like a certain band. And I don't want to look Cosplay, unless it's on purpose. And I do state that I dress VK, but I will not say that I am VK. I do know the difference between looking like a genre and actually being part of it. I do enjoy some j-rock, but I'll never claim to be a j-rocker. And I don't mind that I look behind in the times, I'm actually very 80's retro, bangle bracelets and all! I started dressing with VK themes because, for one, I am androgynous, and secondly I was in need of a boldly creative change that didn't require rainbow hair dye and cutting off the length of my hair. I actually have very long hair that is kept tied back. I'd spent 12 years with the "vamp-goth" look, so my hair was kept down & straight, and my eyes painted in the smokey cat eye style. I looked elegant and beautiful, but it got boring. I don't care about looking "beautiful" anymore, I only care about looking creative. Even if that means erasing my sexual orientation. I am living art. I do like that most VK works on a more natural look while looking stylish and beautiful. It's a very fresh look. As for Oshair kei, I'm sure most Americans wouldn't go for that style because it looks "candy kid", raver. The bold colors ARE possible, but unless you are raver you want to just stay away from them. I wouldn't mind dressing that way from time to time, it looks like fun.  Quote:

Heh, Artvampire, I'm sorry for what I said. x3
I think I generalised too much. Mostly I say this because it's so incredibly hard, in my opinion, to do the look. I think personally even a fair few of the J-rockers of the period didn't get it right (shoot me if you disagree). I was also indicating it in relation to soft colourings, which most Caucasians tend to have to some degree. It's too stark for a lot of faces. If you do it and get away with it, then I swallow my words. ^^

Otherwise, I can't figure why the hell you'd dress like this. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…
For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…

Hah! x3 It's fine for him, and I'd think only because of Photoshop. Contrast filters ahoy! I'd bet anything that he looked rather caked-on in real life, with how opaque that makeup is. If whiteout makeup was done right, I'd imagine it would be much more translucent. :C (Oh wait, is that why all the 'veekaaay!!' scene kids over-contrast their photos? Zounds, to think I only just got this. xD I thought they were just trying to hide their lack of foundation and the toilet seat in the background, and such.)

And what if I WAS the kind of person to bite the head off a rat and suck out the blood? LOL

Well, I must say that you do look rather unusual, certainly. It's lovely that you're confident enough to do such a look. ^^
