Goth has become a permanent fixture in mainstream culture, but
there are a lot of misconceptions about the people who choose to
embrace the lifestyle. "Gothic Charm School" is the ultimate,
fully-illustrated handbook for day-to-day Gothic living and an
'insider's look' at the subcluture for people who are curious
about, but not necessarily part of the subculture. Jillian Venters,
aka 'The Lady of the Manners', was a fairly spooky and morbid
child, with parents who never objected to her eccentric taste in
clothing. Her father raised her to be his revenge upon the
universe, while her mother rolled her eyes a lot and frequently had
an air of amused patience. When the Lady of the Manners discovered
the existence of the whole Gothic subculture, she clapped her hands
with glee. Eventually the Lady of the Manners came to realise that
excellent clothes were not, contrary to popular opinion, a
substitute for excellent manners, and that being a Black-Clad-Freak
didn't have to mean being depressed and snarly. (Witty, sarcastic,
and possibly a touch cynical, yes. Mean-spirited, sullen, and rude,
no.) Since then, the Lady of the Manners has spent a
not-inconsiderable amount of time trying to gently persuade others
in her chosen subculture that being Goth and being polite is much,
much more subversive than just wearing black t-shirts with 'edgy'
sayings on them.
