Rockabilly? - Beyond Tiki

I've yet to figure out what the Gothic appeal of Bettie is, or the whole 50's pin-up thing for Rivets, but damn if she's not the top model. It might be the influence of the BDSM-wannabe set who seem to uphold her as some kind of goddess. I dunno'. One thing though: the Rockabillies I've met have been really nice people. They're usually pretty shy, but that might just be because they're pretty outnumbered around here by Rivets and Britpoppers. The Britpoppers can be a little standoffish unless they want a cigarette from you. Us Goths aren't, I hope, too bad... We just have a very tight knit little group that is friendly but can seem closed off. Most people just try to stay away from the Rivets and Mansonites :P Cory
