Babydoll goth

Some strange mixture of Wednesday Addams, Ruby Gloom, and Emily the strange; the babydoll goth is, simply put, a 'creepy goth child', or at least they try to be.

Usual fashion consists of striped or spidersweb tights, babydoll dresses, either boots or mary janes, old fashioned school uniforms a la TBM, gothic hairclips, and a lot of ruffles. Male babydoll goths dress as sinister victorian boys, with similar dark motifs. There is usually a strong gothic lolita influence, minus the lolita-ness. Make up usually involves pale skin, not much lip/eye make-up (so they look childlike), and celtic/mystical designs drawn in eyeliner.

Common themes in babydoll goth include spiders, ribbons, skulls, black cats, dead butterflies/birds, crosses, ankhs, and a general impression of corruption/the undead.

Musically, they listen to synthrock, alternative, some classical, and synphonic metal, and probably have an ironic nursery rhyme as their unofficial 'theme tune'.

They probably carry a doll or parasol of some description; A creepy child who refused to grow up.
