Melinda Hanley "cyber" goth


Fashion student, corset maker and "cyber" goth.


There is a little goth in us all; a little darkness and melancholia, a tendency to baulk at the cheery "chin up" world of social etiquette and conventions. "Maybe we just question things a bit more," romantic goth Aowynne Davies-White says, struggling to define the indefinable. "We're maybe a bit more cynical." In fact, cynicism is inherent in the "goth look". It snubs perky colours and anything cute. Pretty things are useful for ridicule and parody; a daisy will be impaled on a spike, a cupie doll burned at the stake. It's a statement.
