I saw an old goth the other day.
I saw her from behind at first and I thought she was a teenager. She was in good shape and had frizzy, vampire red hair that was cut short and hung just above her shoulders. She was wearing a gothic lolita dress with purple and black striped arm warmers and New Rock boots.
And then she turned around, and I realised her hair was frizzy because it had long ago gone grey. It was white at the roots. She'd aged well but her crows' feet were so deep that she was clearly over 60. I thought it was pretty cool that she was from a totally different generation but was dressed just like me!
So, GGG, where do you see yourself when you become a retiree? Will you have an illustrious past career to look back on? Will you still be a goth? Will you be some crazy old bat who lives with 27 cats?
Personally, I think I'll have a whole bunch of parrots by the time I'm old. My housemate and I have got into the habit of adopting birds that go begging, whether they're tame or wild. She's brought home doves, mynahs and blackbirds in need of care, and she's just adopted a cockatiel. I can just see the two of us together as spinsters, living in a cottage so old it has no right angles left in it, filled with all manner of plants and birds. And I'll still be wearing black lace and velvet. People will look at me and think I'm crazy.
