Born in Miami and raised here in this god-forsaken Goth unfriendly environment! I had a normal (puke!!) upbringing until I discovered my darkside at around 13 years of age. I'm what you consider a purist in the sense that I'm Goth and nothing more (if you wanna call it being closed-minded so be it) and I only bend for my daughters and only ONE OTHER PERSON. PERIOD!
