If you could design, market, and sell one item.....

[Keevan Draco]

that was uniquely you, and pure gothiness....what would you build?


For me...i've been toying with the idea for several years of a greatcoat that encompasses all the sophistication of the 1700's with the modern conveinances of multi pockets for carrying all your techie gear.
I found a pattern for a sea captains greatcoat that I've been trying to modify to suit my tastes and needs. I've almost acquired the desired material i've been looking for about a couple of years now.

Imagine a patchwork greatcoat with a high collar, silver buttons double breasted, and enough pockets to hold a small notebook computer, cellphone, i-pod, a novel, a journal, writing gear, camera, flask, or whatever else one needs to survive the urban jungle.....

so.....what would you create, if given enough time, money, and resources?

There's plenty of items I could think of worth marketing, but goth-specific items? I have to put some thought to this...

Ok....i'll bite. anyone know where we can find a source of material that when exposed to an electrical current, absorbs photons in a broad spectrum? That would truly be the discovery of the century.....

Honestly no idea, but I think if I developed it, I'd make an absolute fortune from a franchising deal with hot topic and alchemy gothic

I've wanted a documentary about goth for a long time, but upon consideration, fitting it all into one film doesn't seem appropriate. I think I'd like to produce and sell (to a TV channel) a series of 1-hour docs breaking everything down. I'm currently writing up a longer synopsis, but here's a teaser with the names of the first 6 hours, which focus on music-

Hour 1: Preludes & Nocturnes
Hour 2: Go!
Hour 3: Haunted House
Hour 4: American Gothic
Hour 5: She's in Parties
Hour 6: Play for Today

oh wow! great idea Gil, I'd watch the show when it airs.

who are you pitching it to? MTV, VH1, TLC, Discovery, ect.  

[Rellik San]

Ohhh I got one, what about the ability to surgically graft on black angel wings, they'd sell as a small fortune to gothic lolita types, then you get a monopoly on removing them so you can make even more money out of it.

I would so get that! ^^ It sounds simply adorable.

How about lace that was soft, cuttable, but would not ravel or snag? (alas, an issue I have had with many a skirts and blouses...)  

[Angel of the End]

No, wait.... I would make a line of dollar goth stores across america ninja disguised secretly as...... mushroom shrines....

How about black cotton candy? <3

How about black cotton candy? <3

I thought I already have seen something like that already....
they mixed the blue, red, and green base colored sugars into one machine...the result was not true black, more like a very very dark purple that got a little bit sick....it looked slightly disturbing to eat, like any minute it would reach out and strangle you off the stick, and crawl somewhere under a table to die....

all in all, it was a fun bit of research with the machine...we even figured out how to make hollow cotton candy balls with the help of balloons. The absolute fun was taking the huge lollopops and giving em a mega coat of fluff.....death by sugar lol.
