The Goth Railway Children

Gothiness: 10 Sweatiness: 8
My memories of The Railway Children may be clouded but I'm sure Jenny Agutter didn't look like this. But if she did, I bet Daddy was ecstatic when he arrived on that train. 1 Gothiness Point removed for the suitcase. Detail is everything.
Edit: OK, enough already. An extra point for the Steampunk suitcase. I still think it should have been black. With the skull of a crow as a clasp.

The suitcase loses a point? I thought it was a nice touch.

Give that point back, it's an old style suitcase with steam punk overtones! Anyone who'd subject themselves to that thing deserves at least one emo point.

I usually think goths look dumb, but this girl is really quite pretty, and she looks like art.

I agree. Period style clothing made of PVC is the ultimate sweatiness.

You have got to be kidding me. An 8? Aparently whom ever rated this has never worn pvc in hot weather..she deserves a 10 at the very Least.

a super victorian suitcase loses a point? of course not!

Enough already! The suitcase is OK, we'll let it go. Take a deep breath. I agree that the PVC should up the Sweat rating, but she's sitting in the shade, so I can't go higher than that. Don't try and bribe me.

Nice blog, I really love it!!

She's beautiful.

Effect rather ruined when you spot that the railway line has a third rail - meaning she's probably somewhere in south-east England. Maybe, say, Strood or Gillingham. That said, Gravesend has a nicely gothy ring to it.

Nope-- Not Paula. I know her. Her name is Clair, & i'll send her to this site. She'll get a kick out of it.

Amy said...

She's stunningly beautiful.

Absolutely Stunning, i give you the utmost respect for being able to wear your corset and the PVC in conditions such as that. I love the suitcase, it is beautiful. Great picture, keep cool!
