Emilie Autumn Rule No.3

[ThrashTheFash]

I know, it doesn't make sense but whenever I see Emilie Autumn my brain feels funny and my heart skips a beat.

[BritBritTheGreat]

"Uhm... What should I do with this ribbon?... I already tied it on so now I have to use it.... Oh fuck I'll just scrunch it up with the sock. Yes. Much better..." -.- Really people? I guess looking like a murdered Victorian brothel queen is cool... Some trends are just beyond my capabilities to comprehend

[xxxVampyressxxx]

@BritBritTheGreat I do believe she is demonstrating the numerous way in which a ribbon can be positioned when tied in with ones stockings.

[SuperHurra]

That looked like a chick awkwardly tying a ribbon around a K-mart sock.

[DeMiRoxmysox02]

I wish I could e pretty like her...

[oliviazski13]

Emilie is so pretty<3

[IMOMXJ]

There aren't any lessons to being a wayward victorian boy are there?

[rsgirl10]

@IMOMXJ

=P

[Jynx215]

@IMOMXJ dude, its such a tragedy. u an me should make up some :P

[XxNuthouseGirlxX]

@IMOMXJ I don't think so, but that would be awesome :D

[AStarSifter]

@IMOMXJ I wish there were

[immortalispia]

@IMOMXJ wish there was :O emilie should give some!

[TwiggyVengeance6661]

@IMOMXJ I'm a boy and I dress like this :33

[higurashirena777]

GENIOUS!

[petitanyell1]

A pair of socks shows human virtues?? I don't get the artistic concept of Emilie in this video. Can anyone explain me??

[RainOnMyParade9351]

@petitanyell1

Well I'm not an expert, but "My stockings prove my virtue" are lyrics from Opheliac. I think what she's getting at with the "wayward victorian girl" is a metaphor for goth girls in today's culture. The Victorian Era was a time of many restrictions for women. They weren't aloud to wear makeup and fashion was very painful. I think she's symbolizing a disobeying girl from that time, as in "her makeup is liberation" and "her stockings prove virtue" and no one can take away who she is.

[xxxdeadgirl587xxx]

Hah, my stockings have tons of tears. It's hard to keep them tear-free for long XD I actually have stockings quite like those on right now XD Using ribbon to hold them up is an interesting idea, mine always fall down. I'll try that ^-^

[MissDarknessie]

Like the pun. And looking so, she has sorta a kind of... allure, u know?

[blacksnowhitequeen]

Well I never was good with following rules... my stockings look like 5 cats had played with them. What can I say, I'm a sucker for the homeless look :P

[adiki12345654321]

Opheliac

[adiki12345654321]

Opheliac

[Diamonddusted68]

What's the name of the song where she says her stockings prove her virtue?

[0Goshikkurorita0]

@Diamonddusted68 You could be thinking of another one, but i know she says it in Opheliac. <3

[witchsaint]

I have stockings just like that! but I don't know where they are. haha, I need to find them now (:

♥♥♥emilie♥♥♥

[anuphi13]

its like stockings make her innocent

[Hukepi]

I believe it is.. tears you cry.

[BrooketChick]

I get it.

Yes, her sock has a tear in it and it says "Make sure they are clean and free of tears."

I think she used the ribbon to say that her virtue isn't perfect and she tried to make it better or something.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

[lollipoppergirl]

so.. she's only the hottest woman i've ever seen. i also read it as free of tears (the boo-hoo kind). XD i only realized that it was tears (like rrrip) because of Jemmarghh :P

-oggles- @.@

she's really hot.

:D

[babyjane85388]

Just so everyone knows, Emilie uses sock dreams.

I got mine from hot topic, but they're rather chintzy and only come in one size, but they're great for a quick fix. :D

[xXDaemynDisasterXx]

does anybody know where I can get stockings like that for tall girls?? I mean REAL tall? I cant find any that get past my knee :(

[WinterHalloweenRose]

isnt the line "my stockings prove my virtue" from Opheliac?

[MadDuckInc151]

@WinterHalloweenRose I do believe it is!

[XxBloodyblackcatxX]

anyone please answer : how do you stop the thigh high stockings from sliding down your thigh? I usually wear them but ive lost some weight latly and now when i walk i have to constantly pull them back up. Not fun plus i feel like im flashing people when i have to pull up my skirt or dress.

[mudbloodandproud25]

@XxBloodyblackcatxX Try a garter, and if you're going for an Emilie-esque look, use a black lace one, very Victorian era/gothic chic.

[followingme93]

...Tears... hehe, a great true :)

[XxMissNoNamexX]

I love her bloomers. I hear she makes them herself. She's inspired me to fix my sewing machine and get to sewing!

[RedGhost0]

Emilie Autumn will turn you gay, unless you're a guy. Then you develop a fetish for goth women. You start to actually care what they look like. Imagine that?

[nuttytart01]

It's okay. You can correct up your 'torn' virtue with a ribbon. (Y)

[elle1317]

Next to being a great style guide, these videos are really nice fanservice <3

[HelpCatIsMee]

i am in love with sockdreams . com they are awesomest store evah i googled stockings and had fun with that for a while too :D

[nightwishwolf999]

so how do you rectify it with a ribbon if the tear isn't near the top? I have a small hole that exposes some of toes. I feel so violated because of it T.T

[TheStockingRat]

@nightwishwolf999 It's okay, I've got holes in mine too D:

[clariny90]

when your tp-ing someones house, wear makeup like hers, gaurenteed to freak that person out so that they wont come out and scream at you! HAHA xD

[CrazyNinjasOnTheRun]

I have one black and white striped sock, and one white and red striped sock that go up wayyy over my knee, just like her's. :D ....Bue my black and white one is full of tears.... D:

[HelpCatIsMee]

where do you get stockings like that?

[ShiiTsuu]

@HelpCatIsMee Let me know if you find out. >__< I know you can find knee-high socks at Target, but I've never found anything higher than that.

[HelpCatIsMee]

@ShiiTsuu go to target store online they have some green ones i just found :D

[ShiiTsuu]

@HelpCatIsMee Nice! =D I want to find a bunch of them though. =P

[VampiresLoverNr8]

@ShiiTsuu

try to google "sockdreams", I tried to post the link, but it doesn't seem to work... -.-

anyways, there are TONS of awesome socks...<3

[ShiiTsuu]

@VampiresLoverNr8 Thank you~!! =D

[nightwishwolf999]

@HelpCatIsMee hot topic is a good place to go. I don't know if they sell them online but they sell them in stores for like 7 or 9 bucks(forget exact price). They can also be found in halloween stores around halloween.

[RAVEN24VAMPIRE]

@HelpCatIsMee marshal lol thats were i got mines they were a dollar <3 =]

[DorothyFlame]

I so want those stockings. And those leg's. And that body...

[sexyvampiress23]

@afb4rth thanks :)

[sexyvampiress23]

I hate the sun and try to avoid it but my mother always wants me to go out in it grrs why are mums annoying?

[bribrimichaeljackson]

@sexyvampiress23 i no!!and im sensitive 2 the sun so if im out 4 30 min i get a tan...my face is kinda pigmented but my arms and stuff r tanned XD

[xxbetaneaxx]

she's so sexy i wanna eat her <3

[BlackRose2354]

i use lace and ribbons for everything, but i never thought of tying it around the stocking like that!! Your so original emilie!!!

[TheGothickDoll]

wow, nice leg, Emilie! xD

[Jemmarghh]

I just realised. I always read 'free of tears' as in the tears you cry, not as in tearing a hole. I'm so retarded. :)

[boiper]

Isn't Tares though.. Taring ?

So I believe she means tears.

[snickersthemouse]

same here lmfao

[patie9]

@Jemmarghh Me too! X.X I only got it when she put it on and there was a hole.

[AnimeKramkalas1996]

@Jemmarghh Oh... I just realized it was that way, by your comment... xD

[patie9]

@Jemmarghh You're not alone. It would fit with her persona, don't you agree? :)

[CurseOfDawn]

@Jemmarghh I think you can read it both as the wet drops called "tears", and teared holes. I see Em likes word playing...

[TheEmilieH]

@Jemmarghh in her book, she explains how it is about the stockings need to be free of the tears you cry, so your not retarded till now XD lol

[Assuraes]

@Jemmarghh don't worry, that makes us two :))))))))

[persephanie31]

@Jemmarghh I thought the same thing lol

[t105yjg24]

@Jemmarghh I thought the same thing! LOL

[blacksnowhitequeen]

@Jemmarghh A lot of us Plague Rats are wittily retarded. I thought the same

[LittleBluRidinHood]

@Jemmarghh omg i did the same thing!!! i just wasnt getting it lol

[flyingsmilodon]

@Jemmarghh So did I until I read your comment lol. :P

[iluvmeowmix1]

@Jemmarghh

i did the same thing ._.

[NSixtyFour]

i wish i was that stocking x.X;

[electronikita]

you wish you could be on someones possible dirty or yet worse smelly feet?

[NSixtyFour]

i saw her perform at mr. smalls funhouse a month ago, her feet aren't dirty or smelly...

[MarilynManson6890]

she has amazing legs, my god im jelouse!

[Opheliac666]

You have no idea how skinny and TINY she is, unless you've met her of course...Very petite woman.

[TheGothickDoll]

I tell people my stockings prove my virtue whenever they ask. it's funny, the looks i get from them.

[justgoaway111]

I have about three pairs of those. Thank you Halloween stores! ;)

[cupcakes869]

wow im a girl and damn shes hot!

[AnimeKramkalas1996]

@cupcakes869 Everybody's lesbian for Emilie :)

[FeawenSelena]

@cupcakes869

It's funny, it's sounds like you just discovered that you're a girl ;) And damn right, she's hot!

[RoseandButterflies]

I want her stockings and no matter where I go... I can't seem to find them... or anything that she wears.....

[HowIQuittheForest]

You can find regular black-and-white-striped stockings anywhere. Try Hot Topic, or eBay. Any store that sells Leg Avenue stockings, like even for clothes for clubbing, should have something like it.

[slytherpuff101]

Well, she either makes her own clothes or get them from Vecona (try googling it. The clothes are gorgeous).

[LetsPlayAuthor]

Halloween stores and goth stores tend to carry them in large quantities. Same with corsets and dresses that look rather similar to what Miss. Emilie wears. eBay is another good place to look.

[KELLYxSAN]

what does she mean with 'Your stocking prove your virtue.'?

[ProfessorLaFey]

in Victorian times, to check to see if a girl was being "Virtueious" her parents would check there Stockings and underthings at night, or after they got home.

You can beat there would be alot of explaining to do if they where... dirty.

[RoseandButterflies]

Not just dirty but torn. Even if it wasn't the fault of a male counterpart, a girl could go for a while with little food and plenty of birch-branch beatings. Not very pretty.

I love how she has the very big tear in her stockings. :]

[Duchovicius666]

Ohhhh MY GOD! I think I'll blow:D She's so fantastic:D:D:D:D

[IsabellaIrony]

Striped stockings are beautiful things.

[GemmaGaleno]

your sucks

search a life

[VermilionLace]

I love stockings. Stockings are awesome. Specially when you mix and match - that gets interesting when you start swapping with friends.. xD

[kawaiikiramori]

hehe i'm wearing those stockings right now

[ultimateMK97]

Don't you just LOVE her feet?.

[zombieluna69]

horray for pale-ness!!>:3 woot!!

[w98]

it's easy to be pale as her with tan skin

Stay Out Of The Sun!

[NinaQueenofSpades]

Not if you have naturally olive-toned skin.

[w98]

well, i normally have a deep caramel skin tone, but because i stay out of the sun everyone calls me a "ghost girl" because i'm so pale. Sometimes i'm mistaken for being white even though i'm a latina.(that does get annoying though)If you look at my sisters and then look at me, you would think i was adopted.

I don't make myself pale on purpose though, i just hate the sun.(jealous bitches accuse me of that because they hate their own nasty blotchy skin)

[PrincessAmayari]

lol. Same here. I stay out of the sun most of the time cause I don't wanna get sun burn, so I'm paler than my sisters. Although I'm Latina, I get mistaken for other races because of that. XD

I gotta admit, some girls (like Emilie) look absolutely gorgeous with pale complexions.

[w98]

i'm not so pale anymore though. I went to Florida and Puerto Rico(to visit family) this summer and i didn't bring my parasol.(the sun was torture. i got burned T_T) but i'm sure after fall and winter i'll be pale again.

*i hate the weather all year round though. to damn sunny in the spring & summer and too cold in the fall & winter :(*

[PrincessAmayari]

lol. That's what happened to me when I came back from Cancun two summers ago, so I can sympathize with the sun burn.

I gotta admit, I'm hating our weather right now. It was cooling down for fall when out of nowhere it got really, really hot. Hotter than the summer, actually. >.> Sucks.

[PenguinEmpire]

I blame global warming.

[PaulinaH727]

i have pale skin! :D heehee im happy i do

:3 not as pale as emilie of course. but im the palest of all my frends. i use makeup to cover my freckles tho cuz well, they dunt look good wiff lolita :l so yea :D

[CorianderBrooks]

My friend made me bleach her skin because I was stupid enough to tell her I knew how (Which is not a lie but it did mean I had to spend an afternoon with her in her underwear while I rubbed this flippin cream all over her). It worked really well but she smelled like lemon for a week

[Darkmausi]

bleach her skin?

well, my skin is so light that i just have to think about the sun to make it look like a crab everybody wants to get what they don't have :P

[scamoo]

How did you do that?

[wotanzorz]

Lucky!

I'm hideously tan. I'm absolutely appalling....

[lexybelle1994]

Yeah, me too. Eugh, I use white foundation.

[coradensha670]

My parents would kill me if I did that. They don't get me. I asked my dad what I could do because my arms are tanne than the rest of me and suggested TANNING! UGH!!!!! SERIUOSLY!!!!

[zombieluna69]

wat product did you use!? i mean im pretty pale but i want to be more pale lol

i dont mind smelling like a lemon haha

[TheCameraJunkie]

Ok, It's cocoa butter, a lighter moisturiser and a tiny amount of bleach. You rub it on to your skin and there should be a sticky kind of residue. Leave that for 30-60 minutes then scrape it off with a body scraper (You'll find them in hair removal or bikini wax kits). You will probably then need a good wash because the dye from the bleach can colour your skin. Then by the next day you should be super pale!

WARNING! THIS METHOD IS NOT FOR THOSE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN

[zombieluna69]

hmmmm....wat kind of moisterizer!?and like bleach for your clothes!?how many times can you do it!?

sorry for all the q's....

[VampiresLoverNr8]

@TheCameraJunkie

ooh...what kind of bleach did you use? and how much? sorry for eing so late -.-

[zombieluna69]

is thecamerajunkie's meothed the one you use!?

[Tsanalretentive]

When the foot is right in front of the camera it makes me think of a striped giraffe sniffing something...

[NikiNovacaine]

wow! she's so pale.....i wish my skin was like that!

[Zirc0nium69]

theres special body lotions available for that :P

[LeahDarkAngel]

You are gorgeous, Emilie Autumn!!

[nightwishwolf999]

i really should do that with my teared thigh-highs....

[mizzmickymouse]

haha, she has no ass, just like me XD

no i dont feel like a loser

[5600981]

its because she's hunching over, if she stands straight you can see a nice speed bump

[mizzmickymouse]

haha that's fucking great. i wanna go over her speed bump XD

[mizzmickymouse]

yayyy :)lol

[iluvLsomuch]

lmao

[ellzababoon]

Ah, there appears to be a rather large hole in the top of her stocking :S I assume she made it to tie them up. Does she not merely use a suspender belt? Or were they not around in the Victorian era? And to join in the topic of conversation; I'm English and have rather pale skin and dark brown hair, but gosh I do get freckles in the Summer months... I don't tan very easily, but I tend to keep out of the Sun's way.

[0livia0live]

She didn't tie them to her bloomers, so I guess she didn't want the ribbon to be like a suspender belt. I guess she cut it so she could put a ribbon around it and make them look cooler ;)

[Cockleduster]

I think the stockings are supposed to hold up by themselfs, and the ribbons are just for show.

[kcssnotbubble]

the hole adds to the look

[arottentomato]

The hole is for the ribbon, and the both of them are for the look. It also adds irony as in the beginning it said that your stockings should be free of tears. ;)

[Lunatasma]

You shoulod've seen my face today. My boyfriend and I were walking home from school and it was so hot my face was boiling red and I was about to pass out. D:

[Morgana115]

Gosh, that's awesome!! But can someone give me a clue where can I buy a corset like this??

Please...:))

[FranzGrrl]

I have only two pairs of stockings that don't have holes in them. My doc marten's tore them up.

[StillxDoll]

i love wearing my doc martins with over-the-knee highs and a lovely skirt. i need stockings to prove MY virtue tho! lol, sometimes my skirts are teeny, but i'm as virgin as virgin can be.

[cross666fade]

I wish i was pale.

[Lunatasma]

I am. :D

My mother and I are both pale and are the polar opposite of 'tanorexics' (people who live for tanning). We call ourselves 'tanophobics' But I actually went so far as to buying chalk and crushing it into a powder for make-up.

[Lunatasma]

(I meant this comment to reply to cross666fade but it somehow messed up.)

[xUndeadKittyx]

Chalk, eh?

How well did it work? XD

[Lunatasma]

Not well.

Now I just use my natural skin, or Halloween compact white powder.

[WynneL]

Tanophobic! That's me as well. I think naturally dark complexions are gorgeous, but nothing is more hideous to me than a fake orange tan. Cancer is even more unattractive. I'm happy with my pale skin the way it is.

[alchemyroxmysox]

I wish I could be paler. It's difficult for me in the summer because I tan very easily and never burn. I usually have to wear a lot of hoodies and jean in the summer, since Im out with my friends. My skin looks orange when Im tan, I hate it :P

[Lunatasma]

I'm sorry. :(

Isn't it usually people who tan easily are envied versus people who are too pale? Odd world.

[singreadswimlove]

i tan so easily during the summer, but it sort of annoys me because my face ends up really white while my arms are still tan, and im half asian and asians consider being paler better, so im not toaophobic, but it does annoy me

[Lunatasma]

I heard it's very popular in Japan to be pale, and I'm pale, plus 5'6" and a natural redhead so there I'd be pretty damn popular.

[singreadswimlove]

yeah, asians think that pale skin is more beautiful, and i do too, i mean unless you are naturally dark-skinned, but i tan realy easily (because in half chinese) so yeah and i swim so them i end up with those goggle tans during the summer. ive never been to japan, but my friends have been there and the pictures, everyone has such cool styles and hair, and yeah they are pretty pale, and theyre all so beautiful

[Yazzieblue]

I'm sorry to hear that. =[

I guess I'm pretty lucky then, because I've very pale and don't tan.

[NeliisaNymphii]

Achhkk.

that's exactly me.

I tan sooo easily. But then come the winter months, and I start to pale out but my faces pales the most. -_-

[singreadswimlove]

it bugs the crap out of me,and my hands get paler too, im a huge germaphobe, so i wash my hands all the time

[MurderedByTelevision]

I'm African-American and never really have had a tanning problem .-., but where I'm from darker is better and I'm more of a light brown tone.

I also dress Gothic Lolitaish which makes me the main target for ridicule. -.-"

[singreadswimlove]

ridicule makes me laugh, just the idea of people trying to make up for the patheticness of their own life by making fun of others is hilariously pathetic

[MurderedByTelevision]

Haha. Yes, it is truely pathetic for a being to go out of their way to make someone feel bad about themselves. I actually have tried explaining that to them and I tried I could careless about what a moron has to say about my appearance...

But of course, idiots like them couldn't comprehend.

[singreadswimlove]

haha i feel bad for those people, but eventually they'll learn, or not, either way i dont give a fuck about them

[BrokenWings94]

i know how you feel but i kinda like it when people ask if im gothic sometimes u get to freak them out!!

[NeliisaNymphii]

No one can ever be satisfied with who they are.

[PsychedelicDespair]

same with me. every summer i get darker and it sucks T_T

[LttlDutchGirl]

Like goths you can buy some...whats it called? Euhm...well that foundation that makes your skin more pale...

[GlaciatedHeart]

haha

[Opheliac666]

I have a dilema...What if you like having your stockings ripped..And how the hell does tht ribbon keep up her stocking!!!! It never works for me, the damn thing always ends up around my ankels!

[Cockleduster]

Your stockings should fit tight enough to hold up by themselves....You can have your stockings ripped, if you want them to be!!! Try getting some tighter fitting stockings...

[Lunatasma]

I'm a hourglass shape and have a more shapely figure, and my dan thighs refuse to let any stockings stay up, so I usually use a ribbon and saftey pin and secure it to my panties.

[PinkKatfur]

Me too-- shapewise. I'd suggest a garter belt though, much neater than ribbons-- no tail ends flailing about and such.

[LosaOka]

Personally, I love having ribbons falling around, I don't know what it is about them, I just adore it.

It's all personal preference. Garter belts are also fun, though. =]
