Day Two: Share photos and experiences of your babybat days.

Oh God thankfully I've destroyed most of my photos but here's a few embarrassing photos to keep you amused.

September 2007.

I'm not ashamed to say I still like that outfit, stripy shirt with v neck jumper on top and teamed with skinny jeans. I just hate studded belts now because they remind me of my Baby Bat days. This was when I moved away from the pre-teen look and I was 14 years old, before this I used to wear Hello Kitty t-shirts and my friends would look at me in dismay. I destroyed all my "girly" things which is a shame but I really love Hello Kitty! I have no idea why I'm posing with a stuffed bunny so lets just ignore it...



Early 2008.

 This was when I went through my Myspace Emo phase and went to hairdressers to get a proper side fringe, she really screwed it up and I cried all day. She cut my fringe so short that it looked like a full fringe but obviously it wasn't straight across and to be honest it looked awful, I spent the next month applying hair wax and having weepy moments. Perhaps a tad over dramatic but I was a teenager and believe me nobody would have wanted that fringe. Basically looked like I had being attacked by a lawn mower :'(

May 2008?

 This was when I discovered alternative shops in my town and had a few Iron Fist tops, I didn't have a clue what Goth was but I still aimed for that look. Thankfully I discovered it soon enough and the Iron Fist tops joined Hello Kitty in the bin.

2008.

And this was when I discovered Goth and started putting together outfits, I still went for brand because it was cheap and easy to buy. Hell Bunny tutu (that I still have), Poizen Industries top, Criminal Damage jeans, Emily the Strange shoes and a velvet blazer bought from The Gothic Shop. I only got rid of the velvet blazer when my friend ruined it after putting her straighters on it :(

Near Summer 2008.

This was when I started to rebel and decided to wear casual tops sometimes, in case you haven't noticed that's a rather awesome Spongebob T-shirt! I had to throw it away eventually because of white mark stains but it had it's fair share of casual days. I realised that in reality most people don't dress gothic everyday and it's okay to leave the house without fitting a check list.

2008.

This was after going out with my friends and I had the full works on my face! Foundation, concealer, powder. Urgh I felt gross and it put me off wearing anything on my skin for years, even now I refuse to apply foundation all over my face. It's a shame that I gave into pressure, I have such good skin here as it was before my acne developed.

2008.

I wasn't popular in school but there was a few unhappy moments and I found it difficult at times. I adored English and loved all the romance in Juliet and Romeo, thankfully I never wrote any crappy poetry! This was when my love for gothic fashion developed, I wasn't fully educated on Goth music but I liked it. It was the fashion I was truly passionate about and even now I still prefer to talk about fashion.

And I'm afraid that's it, I don't have any interesting Baby Bat stories :(
