More Cartoon Dolls

Cartoon Dolls go to the club.....

These little things are rather fun to make on the makers. So I made myself a hoard of them and have found that their personalities really do vary depending on what they are wearing. That said, I have attempted to use these little creatures to illustrate the classic examples of people in goth clubs and their consequent behavior. Instead of kidnapping real goths and putting them in a hermetically sealed environment to study them like guinea pigs, or impaling them on spikes and labeling them like dead butterflies, (why do i get the feeling some of them would appreciate that) I came up with the following method. Enjoy! Remember, this is for entertainment value only, and that no real egos were bruised during this reinactment of club life!

Entering experimental goth testing lab....

B, B1, B2, B3

C, C1, C2, C3

A. The Misfit. - She's a very nice girl, a little awkward, hasn't gotten the hang of dancing yet. Tries too hard to dress the part.
B. The Nitpicker. - She's one of the core members of the popular cliques. It's her job to notice anyone's and everyone flaws, and promptly point them out.
B1. Ms. Us and Them - Another core clique member, who thinks everyone outside of the clique makes no difference anyway (although she's the first one to listen to the Nitpicker) and knows that universal gothness rests with her exclusive group.
B2. The Tormentor. - She can act nice, but it's only an act. She has other agendas such as causing embarrassment to those the clique opposes.
B3. The Pretty Girl. - She doesn't have much substance outside her looks. She's always the prettiest of the bunch, and prides herself on her wardrobe.

Here we have a rival clique of popular people. There's always more than one, and they usually have factions associated with specific clubs, bars, coffee shops, or dance nights.

C. The Judge. - She dresses impeccably, never seen in the same outfit twice. She's the princess of the group, and is usually involved in making biting comments about others and how pathetic they are, often to their faces or at least loud enough for them to hear.
C1. The Model. - She's a fixture, much like a chandelier, and a walking ad for some up and coming designer goth clothing that no one but her can afford because she's boinking the designer. It's all about her.
C2. Mystress Moderator - She runs the local chat group or mailing list, and complains about all the poseurs, people who aren't on topic, can't spell GOTH or MAGICK correctly, and she reems anyone whose opinion differs from hers. She starts up list after list to make an "exclusive" one, but it's all the same trite arguments anyway.
C3. The Music Mage - She loves old school Goth music no matter how much it's been beaten to death and overplayed. The DJ plays her requests because he loves her wide span of cleavage. She dances more than the others, and whenever she goes out on the floor, the rest follow like chickens.
D. The Dom - She's a bitch to everyone, and wants to control whoever she can. She harbors a healthy dislike for the cliques though, and this is not a girl to mess with. She attracts all kinds of BDSM drama.
E. Sexy? Dum-ass - This is the preppy guy who either doesn't have a clue that he's in the wrong bar, or doesn't care. All he knows is that there are freaky chicks everywhere, and they all want a piece of him. He's brash, slimy, and is the one who will grind with just about anyone with a pulse on the dancefloor...only later to find himself face to face with an angry guy in a skirt.
F. The Glitter Fairy - She's one of the most colorful, and frequently most blinding. She's always encrusted with glitter, and/or wearing fairy wings, talking about fairies, catching fairies. She's a disco ball with legs.
G. Sir Clueless - He doesn't approach people, never talks, dances rarely and badly, and mostly just kinda hovers watching the dance floor. he makes some attempt to match the "dress code" but he still seems to not quite get what's going on. And yet he comes back, every week for years on end.

H. The Weekender - She dresses in black only on weekends, and only at the club. Dancing is a release, and as she doesn't really live the "lifestyle" the way many others do, she is exempt from most of the ridicule and drama. She's smart and doesn't even bother getting involved beyond the music.
I. The Diva - Never to be outdone, she is the multi-talented musician/artist/designer who events get planned around. She also is boinking the exclusive goth clothing designer who makes her fantastic outfits that take up way too much useful bar space.
J. The Promoter. - She has connections with anyone and everyone who is anyone in the scene and sets up events for the diva. She is also a fixture, and is never seen without full gear on, even in a gas station quickie mart.
J. The Badass - A more masculine girl, who chain smokes and makes wry comments about everything and how everything sucks. Guys like her because she's a badass. She hates guys because they are morons. If you suck, she'll let you know.
J1. The Gamer - An accoutrement of the badass, she too is more rough around the edges, but is placated by online gaming, role playing, and beating up pixels on her X box, ps2 and game cube. (yes, she has all 3) She is also a caffeine hound, but remains sedate for no apparent reason.
K. The Stripper/Mirror Dancer - She just doesn't know when to stop working. She's the one who dances like a snake and humps herself in the mirror...perhaps it's the only chance she's got to practice outside of work. She usually attracts some witless baseballhat guy.
L. Witless Baseball Hat Guy. - He's there to gawk at all the freaky chicks, cuz they turn him on, but once the stripper comes out he's really no threat to anyone else. Once he's with her, he's on more comfortable territory.
M, M1. The Beast with 2 backs - This is the preppy couple that enjoys grinding each other to music like KMFDM, or Skinny Puppy, or Controlled Bleeding. You want then to get a room, but they don't. Nor do they get a clue. you, however, get a barf bag.
N. Princess - She's cute and can be nice, usually very shy. But she always looks like what you THINK a goth should look like. No one says much bad about her.
O. The Social Butterfly - She's a pretty girl, knows everyone, likes just about everyone, and no one seems to dislike her. You have no clue how she does it. She can hook you up with a date, or give you the latest info on upcoming shows that even the promoter has no knowledge of. She'll invite you over to her table and talk to you on the dancefloor. What's wrong with this girl???? She has a personality!!! ARGH!!!! (head explodes)
P, P1. The SiameseTwins. - You never see one without the other. They don't dress exactly the same, but you can tell they are friends. They can't seem to make a decision without the others input, and don't even try to get a guy to come between them. It won't work. They are nice, but hard to plan outings with.

Q. Electro Girl - She knows more names of obscure electro and synthpop bands than are legally allowed to exist. She is more than willing to rattle them off at any given moment to appear formidable, and she when she hears any industrial or electro with guitars she looks constipated and leaves the room.
O. SCENE Slave - She's an accessory to Electro girl, and is always following her complaints by inserting the word SCENE and how the SCENE is suffering like some kind of decapitated bunny wounded by an SUV.

Then there's that group of preppy girls that wanders in out of sheer curiousity...

R. Tag Along - She's just going along with her friends like always, although she doesn't necessarily like what they are doing.
R1. The Switch - She's open minded enough to have suggested going into the "goth looking club" anyway, and actually thinks the whole idea is kinda cool. it is possible in the future, to the disdain of her friends, that she may get involved.
R2. Homegirl - She's got a vendetta against anything freaky, and feels the need the show what she's got...as if her bad booty dancing is going to convert any goths.
R3. Gigglehead - She goes along with everything and doesn't care cuz she's drunk. She usually the dum blonde of the group, even if she's a brunette. She dances the worst, and wears hoochy clothes like she was born in them.

And the gossips...

S. The Weaver - She's got a rumor for any and every situation, and she loves to conjure them up. She and her sisters function much like the greek fates, deciding who gets to perish a horrible social death or dismemberment.
S1. Vinyl Chick - She got her her ears into the kinkiness of the bondage crowd, and can always make sure that the most vile innuendos are made public. She's also great as using people as fetish toys, and then making up fictional accounts about it later.
S. The Queen Bee - She is Atropos, the one who decides that you are a defunct chunk of goth meat ready for the tearing. Vicious, biased, and pretty, she recycles men like popcans and is the executioner of reputations.
T. Punk Girl - Don't mess with her. She may be half your size, but that just means her boot can kick you twice as fast. Anyone who looks at her the wrong way has another thing coming - usually her fist.
U. Band Chick 1 - She's the one with the great hair, that like snowflakes, is never the same twice. You have no idea what she plays, have never heard her play, and aren't even sure what band she's in, but she is a band chick and that why guys like her.
U1. Band Chick 2 - She's usually the singer, the prettier of the two, and has her own following. She's very obviously a pagan, often wearing pentacles the size of manhole covers. She can smell if you've ever been a christian.
S. Hot Topic Badass - She's into metal and music that doesn't really get played at goth/industrial clubs, but she goes anyway and requests it. She's usually pretty young and rebellious, doing deviant things like hanging out at the mall and sneering. She however, has the potential to become a rivethead if properly cared for and watered twice a day.
S. Hot Topic Girl- She is kinda clueless as is trying on the label of goth, although it really isn't her. She's not likely to stay in the scene, but since her kind is often being cloned like so many genetically altered sheep, there will be a replacement soon enough.
S. Psycho Crazy Dance Bitch - This girl is like a whirling dervish and when dancing will take off limbs of surrounding dancers. She's like a blender stuck in frappe mode. She goes to dance, and really could give a shit whether or not any of the outside scene crap is going on. Everyone suspects she might be on drugs, but it's really just a result of breathing. Dangerous, and often perky, but gets grumpy quickly if the music sucks, which it often does.
