If you've hung around those of the Goth/Alternative persuasion, then you'll know there is such a thing as black-envy. That feeling that someone (or possibly everyone) in the room is wearing blacker apparel than you. Has Doc Martens with more holes. More shiny, pointy accessories. But the folk in this community of odd crows and witchy spooks are definitely way cooler than such petty concerns. If they share Gothic cathedrals, it's Clermond-Ferrand - constructed of black lava rock. Their advocacy for the monsters from classic horror flicks actually make sense. Their obsessions are dark and compulsive. They know how to geek with style and deep empathy. Often, they are startlingly wholesome, in their own eccentric way, of course. Sometimes they wear a jagged pumpkin-face smile that's creepier than silence. They effortlessly channel Dracula, Wednesday Addams, Tim Burton and Lenore the Cute Dead Girl. They own their ominous aura without a hint of apology. And they won't let you forget for a moment that this is their month.
