This is a brand spanking new blog about fashion in the alternative subculture. In other words, gothic, punk, rockabilly, emo, scene, synth, industrial, steampunk, and so on and so on. Everything that can be called alternative (not in the sense of alternative medisin and the like, tho). Hope to see you around!

Kohl is a mixture of soot and other ingredients used predominantly by Middle Eastern, African and South Asian women, and to a lesser extent men, to darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes.

Kohl is also today used as a word for pencil eyeliner. And I don’t think there is a subculture in the world that is more obsessed with eyeliner that the alternative, no? ;)
