Throwback Thursday: treasures from my geocities page

I've mentioned a few times that there are no pictures of me in high school and my early days because those were all on geocities. So, back in 2001, I made my first website on geocities. In 2009, geocities was deleted all the content gone. Maybe it was archived, but if it wasn't, tough luck. But I just found out that some people independently archived it. So if you want some old school magic, go to http://www.oocities.org/

I remember reading about goth fashion from geocities. I don't remember the exact sites, but here are some links I just found

Here's one on rivethead fashion, which seems to have disappeared as soon as we hit the year 2000...completely overtaken with the slick/high-maintenence cybergoth.: http://www.oocities.org/vix_en1981/industrialfashion.html
OW, my eyes: http://www.oocities.org/ulatanah/gothic.htm

As for my site, I coded it myself in notepad and made all the images. There was and old site and a new site. The old site was a little baby bat, black-on-black, a lot of swearing. the newer site, made in 2003, was a little more mature. I had a list of my hair services (I was finishing beauty school at the time). I wanted to see my hair portfolio, but alas, the archive didn't get that. That, and all my terrible creative writing, is lost to the ages.

Let me entertain you with some artwork, banners, buttons:

a mosh pit from a friend's band

my cosplay costume, paine from ffx2. We won best skit and ALMOST won crowd favorite. My sis is in the background

in true rivethead fashion, I used to head over to factories and take photos...here's crappy "photoshop" (not really photoshop because I didn't have it back then) with those pictures over one of my industrial outfits.
