How to Be Gozi

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you ever felt like the world was just going downhill? Like there isn't enough love to go around? Does this make you angry? Are you passionate about preserving life, and take no nonsense when it comes to caring for the planet? If the asnwer to these questions is yes you have the same feelings as those who are gozi.
Gozi originates from southern africa. In xhosa ingozi means danger or evil spirit. Similar to punk styles but more basic and with rnb elements.

Steps

Know what you stand for. Being gozi is all about knowing what you care about and defending it. Learn to love all races, religions, sexual orrientations, and treat everyone with respect. Care about the environment and all creatures in it. Become a vegatarian, and if you're hxcore a vegan -check out PETA-. Learn how to reduce your carbon footprint, recycle, save. Get involved with your local community, and try to make a difference.
Get the attitude. Be confident in who you are and what you stand for. Do not be discouraged if you come across people who do not agree with you, stand your ground but remember everyone has the right to an opinion
Get the look. Gozi means evil or danger, and thats the basis of the style. (Now don't go out and buy an evil t-shirt and a pocket knife.) Girls usually wear black jeans or red/grey/green plaid skirts, studed belts, an interesting print t-shirt bought from the dude section, patterned converse or bright red heels to match with red lips, and a green wristband. Guys wear black jeans, studded belts print shirts, patterned converse, and the green wristband.
Get the make up. Gozi make up is really basic and easy to do. Start with a good concealer for skin to cover any blemishes if you have them, healthy skin is important as it represents a pure insides, improve it by using a good moisturiser, taking off makeup every night, and drinking alot of water and eating more than 5 fruit or veg a day. Skin is usually naturally tanned or dark as this is southern africa and the sun has it's ways. You might need to get a fake tan "Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion" works great. For the eyes do a smokey eye using black eyeliner, mascara and grey or brown make up. On the lips you have to have a red lipstick or gloss. Invest in a good make up remover and moisuriser.
Get the hair. Get a fullet. This is short for a fashion mullet. Do not get it confused with a mullet, totally different styes, get a hair cut with short sides and a long back, with some bangs. Check images for example.
Get the personality.Be good listener, and not to hyper or easily excitable. Try to be calm and down to earth. Don't be emo about everything sure the world is going downhill, but by doing just a little bit, you can make a difference.

Tips

Do not try to hard.
Do not hate or judge others who do not share your beliefs.
Do not become obsessed with saving the planet.

Warnings

People have opinions, they also like thinking that only theirs matter. Be prepared for earfulls from the literbugs and the ignorant.

How to Be an Ethnic Scene Girl

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Okay, so you've stumbled upon this article because you have admired the scene fashion. But most of the scene girls you've seen are Caucasian, aren't they. Well anybody can be scene, even if you ARE of a different race.

Steps

For some ethnicities, it's tough being scene, especially African Americans, because they usually have permed hair and you don't want to damage your hair.
Work on your hair - Hair is a big part of the scene look. There are many different scene hair styles you can do, a popular one, is side-swept bang and teased hair. But try to be a little more original. Don't be afraid to try new things, dye your hair a crazy color, experiment with streaks and things like that. A more family suitable hair idea are long bangs with pin straight hair. If you have curly/wavy hair don't try any of these hair styles without straightening it first. Also you can pull your hair into a low ponytail with your bang and chunks of hair falling by your sideburns. Headbands are good too, you can put them over your bang to train it to stay forward, its good if you have the kind of hair that flys everywhere in the wind. Bows and clips are good too.
Wear the makeup - Wear concealer if you have any unsightly blemishes, scene girls are supposed to be an image of perfection. Wear dark makeup, avoid neon unless your glam scene, but I seriously wouldn't recommend light eye makeup if you had a darker complexion. You don't necessarily need to wear lipstick/gloss but unless your more glamorous, red/pink is fine, but if your darker, go for a darker tinted lipstick. Stay neutral.
Learn the clothes
- Tops & Bottoms- A general scene outfit is graphic tees and skinny jeans. But not limited to that, you can also wear tutus and leggings but don't always try to wear a graphic tee with that, try to be more classy when wearing skirts. Another big thing is printed skinny jeans, animal prints, plaid, stars, etc. Oversized tee shirts and leggings are cute too. But don't get tees too big or it will look like a plain old dress, not too small, or it'll look like a regular tee and you'll look trashy. Keep it above the knee but below the waist. In the winter stick to your skinny jeans, for coats bomber jackets and puffer coats are good. Never wear actual hats if you've teased your hair or it WILL mess it up, earmuffs are more suitable.
- Shoes- Ballet flats printed or solid work. Vans, Converse, DCs, Punk Rose, and other skater shoes work with skinny jeans. But if you decide to wear the leggings, heels and flats look better. Sneakers and a skirt look ghetto.
Know that scene is all about accessories - Cheap bracelets are not in, wear bangles and gold/silver bracelets. Unless theyre actual rubber bands/scrunchies, save the cheap ones for the 5 year olds. Pearl necklaces are cute, if they're extra long, wear it wrapped once or twice around your neck. You can also wear multiple gold/ silver necklaces, but think small for those. Also to go with your jeans, you can wear studded/printed belts. Plain white or black is acceptable.

Tips

HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!! that is the most important tip out of all. You have to have some faith in yourself, because if you are scene, when you go out people WILL stare. So you have to get used to it.
Gradually become scene, if you've been preppy all your life, don't tease your hair and wear brass knuckle necklaces tomorrow. You'll be called a poser
Get a myspace, stickam, buzznet, vampire freaks, and facebook profile. They help you stay popular and up to date.
Try to get facial piercings if your old enough/allowed. Mainly becuase your ears will be corvered by your hair. Some you can get are snakebites, septums, eyebrow piercings, monroes, medusas and many more.
GO OUT! To be scene you need to be "seen" don't sit around the house all day looking beautiful and sending out friend requests.
Take great pictures of yourself, store a lot in your camera but don't put them all on myspace. That means less picture comments because people are not going to sit there looking through your 500 albums. Take pictures with friends to prove you have a life. But don't set it as your default, unless your sharing a profile or something stupid. Never post more than 12 pictures in one album and don't have more than 5 albums.

Warnings

Never admit your scene or you will be called a poser.
When people call you emo, scene, or goth say NO to all!
If you get scene friends, don't annoy them, they don't need you. They can drop you just as fast as they befriended you.
Know that since you are a scene girl of a different nationality, you may be made fun of at times. Lets face it, people are cruel. Remember these 3 words, STAND YOUR GROUND. Dont let anybody make you change your style,its who you are. And by all means, if you think your sexy than damn it hun, you are!
Be careful of where you are, because people on the punk scene HATE scene people.

How To Do Emo Make-Up When You're Dark Skinned?
(Source: http://www.littleblackcherry.co.uk/Info-and-Links-4-w.asp)

Most of the time you don't see dark skinned emo/scene kids. So, if your skin is dark, and you are emo/scene, you might like to know how to do your makeup correctly!

Put on a light foundation close to or the same color as your skin, although most scene kids prefer paler looking skin. The foundation color would be your preference.

Apply a grey, black, or a neon colored eyeshadow to your eyelid below the crease.

Know that every scene kid uses black eyeliner. It could be pencil eyeliner or liquid eyeliner. Apply eyeliner to your top and bottom lash lines. You can also put on a thin or heavy line of eyeliner on your eyelid right above where your eyelashes start. (This is not something you have to do! But if you do this step connect your lines to create cat eyes!)

Apply mascara to your to top and bottom lashes.

Put on chap stick or whatever lip product you want to use. Most scene kids have bright lips in vibrant shades of color, but emo kids have nude,pale lips. But you could choose which one you want.

Touch up if needed!

Go show yourself off!

Do not put on so much makeup that you look like a raccoon since while it is supposed to heavy, do not over do it.

Make sure you have cute accessories that match your makeup and your emo-tastic or scene-eriffic outfit.

Liquid eyeliner is the best because it is darker and wont blend in.

If you like the thick line of eyeliner try it before going out and realizing you look like a clown

Don't have preppy makeup one day and then emo/scene makeup the next day. You'll seem like a poser.

Don't put too much make-up
