Pffffffssh. I wear them, I just get asked if I'm depressed all the time. Or the people who state the obvious: "You look goth / like a village witch". Well, yeah. Duh.
And getting away with black lipstick at a retail student-job is difficult if you work in a Macy's-like store, haha. If I could without getting fired or giving one of the elderly customers a heart-attack, I would. I'm still surprised I got away with my blurple-looking one.

Eep, sorry for missing this comment earlier! That could actually be a neat idea, tbh, to dress up your character for Halloween. If it's the one in your avatar, I can definitely see Gene Simmons working, what with the big head of hair and all.
And more broadly: it could be a neat community art-thread where we all post art of our characters in their "trick-or-treating"-gear? Maybe an art exchange, even? People get paired up anonymously, all you need to do is link a refsheet and some costume-ideas or something and presto: Halloween funtimes!
