Goth Punk Catgirl

That's my cosplaying classmate up there. She calls herself Koru (that's what she put into my cellphone), but also goes under the alias akoru972077. The cat ears aren't a part of the outfit and also this is actually not really called cosplaying around these parts. I don't know the exact reason why but I think it has something to do with her dressing up like a real person in a japanese punk band (actually I think it's a metal band. After all punk is not a really appearing music genre anymore and the Taiwanese have a bad habit of mixing music genres up as with so many things.)

So this day I followed her around while she was hanging out with some of her friends. Some of them pierced in ways I wouldn't imagine and all wearing black goth/punk like clothes, most of them of which were probably acquired from the store in which the picture was taken and where we also hung out most of the time. It's called Kira Punk just by the way. Sells a lot of slightly expensive special wares.

Not much happened this day except that I saw a lot of interesting looking people which less open minded people would probably regard as dangerous looking rebels, emokids or even anarchists. They seemed almost more like normal people than everyone else to me, and I couldn't even understand a tenth of what they were saying. Well, almost that is.

But for reasons beyond my comprehension, this was the only picture I took during the time so you'll have to wait a bit more to see anything else on this. Is still interesting, eh?
