Gah, my uptight parents just don’t understand. They’re all like How can you see where you’re going? or Such a pretty face. Why hide it? But this isn’t just hair, you know? It envelops me in a realm of sorrow, like my very own Veil of Darkness.
Emo Cat Is Emo
Poor kitty is just soooo misunderstood. Mom and Dad, remember this is just a phase, hopefully kitty will outgrow it. I had one friend that was also emo/goth and she had a girl that she dressed like a boy when she was a baby. I always said her rebellious stage was going to go all pink sparkles, ruffles, and unicorns when she hit the teenage years.
AJ, please – pink ruffles and unicorns won’t be the rebellion. Too obvious. It will be musicals and brightly colored 1940’s/1950’s clothing – so cheerful!
It’s not a phase, Mom! Ugh!
Looks like the cover art from an 80s album by The Cure (whom I love).
Sadly, there are photos of me with hairstyles similar to this one.
For some reason this cat is channeling cat-fan Glenn Danzig for me.
Actually, what HAS happened to that guy? Last I heard he had abandoned his house and was still pouting over Henry and Glenn Forever https://www.abebooks.com/Henry-Glenn-Forever-Neely-Tom-Microcosm/30064694166/bd
You don’t need depth perception to write morbid poetry.
I like the throwback in the title.
But as for “Veil of Dorkiness” — after the past year, I’ve become less judgmental about whatever gets people through the day. I have a friend who is extremely goth in his 50s, and that’s fine. You want to do emo, do it. You want sparkles and tutus and unicorns, do it. Please don’t hate on people because of what they like.
That’s good feedback, thanks. I’ll check that in future posts.
Eh, I’m an adult goth and I don’t care. Just because I still wear corsets in my 30s doesn’t mean that I don’t also look back at my teenage years and cringe. I just cringe at how badly fitting my first outfits were. Seriously, doing good goth is an art form.
All my sympathies to emo kitty. May they find a style that works for them and escape from the overbearing parents soon. Rock that haircut!
Why not both?

I have a ‘possum shirt that says “EAT TRASH” at the top of “HAIL SATAN” at the bottom. I’ve worn it to metal concerts.
LOL! Possums ARE pretty diabolical at times. I would imagine that, like my unicorn rainbow “Hail Satan” shirt, there aren’t too many places other than metal concerts where you can wear it! I wore mine to a Ghost concert and the frontman complimented me on it after the show.
Where was Emo Bun? The little bun who was going to put on his skinny jean? Was it in The Place Before, the name that included a sandwich?
Not sure, but we did have the Goth Bunnies.
GORGEOUS! Thank you for finding this treasure from the archives. I missed it the first time around. “Spencer’s Gifts”! LOL! Or “Hot Topic”.
