I do see that it can be done. However, I think people can detect it. The gothic look is both varied and pervasive. The personal creativity that many goths, especially the ones you'd want to look at, put into their look is obvious. Plus, there are some things you can't do with make-up... not many models will shave parts of their head, their eyebrows, get facial piercings, and some of the other things that genuine goths put into their own looks.

I see your point, and agree. Maybe there should be an international network setup for Gothic Adult models or something, where they can post their portfolios, and hook-up with local photographers.
