Marc Chevalier said:Yes indeed. In the mid '80s, I was a semi-goth when the media clumsily pegged us as "New Romantics." In addition to Dead Can Dance, we listened to Zymox and Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, and went to downtown L.A. basement clubs: "Scream" was probably the best of 'em.

Laura Chase said:Haha! Poppy isn't great literature, but I liked reading it back then. I remember I particularly liked Drawing Blood and Exquisite Corpse (goth titles, huh ).
But Brooksie, she is very pretty! I can't post photos because she is very nude on most of her photos, but very pretty, in a flapper goth kinda way.
I had no idea. I remember reading all of her books in my mid teens. My favorite was Lost Souls. I'll have to check out her blog.Esme said:Poppy Z. Brite identifies as male, you know.
She hasn't been writing for awhile now, has been ill since the first flood in New Orleans, but hopefully she will start writing again, soon. She has a really interesting blog.

A few things I've seen and read here in the Lounge have me wondering - Has anyone besides myself and, I presume, Ms. TheKitschGoth, come to Vintage through the Gothic style/subculture? If so, who, how, and why?
Paint It Black,

Laura Chase said:Ditto there, Mario! And how lucky you are to have lived in Berlin in the 80's. It was an interesting place to be at that time, to put it mildly. I would love to have experienced Kreutzberg and its music scene back in the 80's... But alas, I was born in 1985. lol
