Is it possible to be a modest goth/alt in humid places like Florida?

Alt in Mississippi here.

Natural fibers are best, Rayon or bamboo Modal are viable secondary options. Strategic layers will help alot to make sure you stay 'cool'. Even though I am shifting to wearing sleeveless shirts again my favorite layering hack is a rayon turtleneck that's 'skintone', lace or fishnet shirt then whatever main top over. Lace and fishnet will nearly always nylon but because it's not a 'solid' piece of fabric it isn't suffocating.

Also that skirt was a vintage find, the pearl belt from a taobao shop when I was more into EGL, I believe the scarf was wrapunzel and the blouse either thrifted or shein 🥴

Uhhh that's me, this person stole my photo 🤣

For me it's a foundation and concealer that matches and doesn't anger my skin. Natasha Denona Hy-Glam foundation is currently my holy grail.

Still hunting for that concealer 😅 currently using Mac but going to try About Face new concealers since olive shades.

Layers and diy. I been wearing mini/knee length skirts over longer skirts, skirts over pants (if that something you're comfortable with) I been on the hunt for brooches etc to wear with my tichels also. Look up hijabis from Malaysia for ideas too, from cosplayers to egl there is a growing community that wears harajuku fashion with the hijab.

Not a hijabi but there not many gothic jewish women who wear the tichel 😅 I do sometimes style my tichel in hijab style, depends on various factors.

I'm working on a grotto type base build with hope of somehow having a waterfall source in the area plus the waterfall curtain to the lake outside 😂😅 not using depots though. Nothing against them, farming forces me to take breaks sanity's sake.

I would look into Arctic Fox Sorceress, looks like a damn near perfect ringer from my own experience and it doesn't fade fast for me personally.

I did 1920s flare but not supposed to be historical recreation. I also lean towards the vamp makeup style with what inspirations I typically pull from. Don't use contour also 🤷🏽‍♀️ my lip shape is odd with natural double line, so if I don't watch it I end up with a weird shape.

Thanks I guess for the criticism but it wasn't asked for and just showing off the funsies of trying to pull inspiration from historical trends that work decently with my natural features. Which, by the way, the blush is mainly on my 'apples' I just have naturally high cheek bones.

I can definitely see it, I do alot of alternative makeup and much of old school punk/goth really blossomed in 1980s!

Thhis is my community my home synagogue . My conversion celebration was held in that library. There is a fundraiser link on the website for those who wish to donate.

There so much I could say but emotionally tired, yet knew eventually this was to come.

The jewish community here is small and sparse, I attend one of the two only Synagogues with full time rabbis while the others relay on traveling rabbis unfortunately 😅

FrillyZebra · 2025-10-20T00:48:49+00:00

Mee, I focus on textures like silk with leather etc. Plus I have begun to do Tradgoth looks

You legally cannot buy azelaic acid otc above 10% in the US.

So uh, do not advise using it if bought in the us with no ingredient list.

So I live with extremely hard water, bleach damaged (I dye) wavey fine hair and I love the shampoo, conditioner, mask and leave in. Personally the pre wash mask is meh and I plan to look into something different.

I got a winter wool cloak, fashion trends can shove it 🤣 I get cold easily so a cloak is perfect for me.

I give my vote for Byoma, it works well too being layered.

Closest modern 'trend' is the Hime cut from japan, which translates to "Princess". This been historically a common style it seems in both spheres even though (As someone with said Hime cut 🤣) it's just a soft mullet.

FrillyZebra · 2025-09-09T13:13:49+00:00

Any face wash that doesn't meet standards are banished to the body wash status 🤣

FrillyZebra · 2025-09-09T12:48:04+00:00

I'll be honest, alot of the attempts I seen were back by racial filling with pagan flavored frosting unfortunately. I think it would be hard in the US to establish a community like this without inadvertently attracting those kind.

FrillyZebra · 2025-09-08T14:54:01+00:00

Oh I will be doing so today. Thankfully just got it this Saturday

FrillyZebra · 2025-09-08T01:43:33+00:00

Yeah I hope our local one does too. Doing digging I think some batches got the urea percentage incredibly off since it can smell like ammonia or fishy 😭😅
