Description

Lavoce: We Are People Too is the fashion freedom activist store, leader of the Fashion Resistance, bringer of true open-mindedness to the masses!

Lavoce: We Are People Too helps people discriminated against because of their fashion orientation, and those affected by them, understand how to open their mind first so that the world will open their arms and the doors of employment to neglected cultures. What distinguishes us from other companies is our philosophy and perspective. Through our vision, we believe that we can change lives around the globe. We are your peace peddler partner in fighting the ego.

This company will focus on products and services to niche markets, specifically for marginalized societies. The initial audience will include Goths, especially the Goth who doesn't go clubbing. Then the inventory will expand to serve gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender/transsexual (GLBT); animé (Japanese animation); and other societies that focus on fashion freedom. The company's goal is to create an environment where customers, clients, and employees feel comfortable in showcasing their inner, or previously hidden, personality and culture to promote high self-esteem. In this, we sell a lifestyle of open-mindedness and faith in humanity. Purchases of products support the lifestyle.

We want to revolutionize our country and world. Fashion and economic class have an almost symbiotic relationship. When we can eradicate fashion discrimination, we can make it easier to eradicate discrimination of race, gender, culture, etc. When we eradicate fashion discrimination, we can eradicate the need for money to separate people and the need for people to identify with and feel guilty or egotistical about their economic class. This is a tall order, but no one made their dreams come true by thinking small.

– Jim Rohn
This book is dedicated to Lavoce: We Are People Too, Inc. May it live on, bringing hope to Goths everywhere.

Acknowledgments
I wish to acknowledge all Goths everywhere. Without the demand for this book, there would not have been the motivation to get it published. May this book serve the purpose of encouraging, inspiring, and helping Goths everywhere in the workplace.
A Closed Mind is the Worst Prison
I envision a world where people see beyond what people wear. It is a world where customer service representatives ask, "How may we help you open your mind?" instead of saying, "How may we help you?" It is through this business that such a world can start to bloom.
I created this to engage potential customers and employees.

Before Reading This Book
“When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so the male will not be male and the female will not be female... then you will enter the Kingdom”
–The Gospel of Thomas 22
Before you read this book, please ask yourself why you are reading it. If it's to be liked, to get attention, or to put up any sort of façade, then that calls for a different kind of book. If, however, you are reading it to honor friends, culture, history, mortality, and the sacred, then read on. If you see how the external matches the internal and the conscious application of this knowledge provides such alignment that one feels true joy, then read on. If you see how humans were put on this earth to express themselves fully, then read on. If you too believe that every human deserves a chance at equal employment no matter what culture they were raised in or that they honor, then please read on.
Disclaimer
Beware of your beliefs. The idea that money buys freedom is a myth. I'm not joking. The higher up your salary gets, the less freedom you have for self-expression. You must decide now if this is what you want and how far you're willing to compromise. If that is the case, then why is it still worth it? For our children to not have to decide between who they are and how they will survive, our generation must make a few compromises for that ideal to be realized. To impact future generations, we will need numbers on our side. We can only do this together by combining the fortitude of survivors with those who have means.
About This Book
"I'm preparing them to keep a sense of self when they can't define themselves by their work because the likeliest scenario is that (unlike doctors and lawyers and bankers) they will not want to."
—From Hand to Mouth p122 of 196
The strangest irony about Goths, and the reason why I wrote this book, is as follows:
Goths need clothing to indicate to the world who they are, but clothing costs money, and if they wear that type of clothing it could cost them their jobs. But not anymore!
NCIS and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are examples of what Goths dream of when they dream—a world where people see as valuable contributors to their society, not ignored outcasts of the society, which contains their own family. I know of math teachers, administrative assistants, and government contractors that dream of being taken seriously as themselves by the people who make up much of their life, but they do not want to remove their sense of self to make that happen.
Section 1 of this book is about the why and Section 2 is about the how. I would recommend reading in order instead of skipping directly to the section that interests you.
This book has been five years in the making, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

The Audience for This Book
"Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is.
At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend."
—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Why I'm doing this is to give people a reason to live. I intend to write this book for people over the age of 30 who have experienced the type of fashion discrimination that has negatively affected them in their work life to a significant degree.
Peter B. Kyne wrote that “The go-getters of this world are under thirty years of age.” That means that those over thirty years of age tend toward cynicism because of the hand they believe life dealt them. It's too easy to figuratively die in your 30s, and that's why the mantra in the ‘60s and ‘70s used to be “Don't trust anyone over 30.”
I write to those Goths who have responsibilities: jobs, spouses, kids. I also write for those Goths who don't have jobs but also can’t continue living under their parents’ house. I am writing to the Goths who realize that they need to act like adults, but I am also writing to say that acting like an adult does not mean selling your soul.

Section 1: We Are #1 Body, But 1 Size Does Not Fit Every Body
Definition of Alterity
Alterity means “otherness.” The state of being fashion-oriented as a Goth brings with it a feeling of being alien to the “normie” mainstream cultural orientation. Alterity can occur within a homogenous society. For example, even if the entire society were homogenized, Goths would still be on the fringe. This is like how a disabled person would feel alienated from an ableist society despite the ableist society’s ability to provide tools for the disabled person that he or she could not provide for him- or herself.

My Story
“Look through the outer crust of personal adornment, clothes, so-called culture and the like, and down deep into the heart of all about him. [...] An old farmer up in Vermont always used to wind up his prayers with this plea: ‘Oh, God, give me an open mind!’ If more people followed his example they might escape being hamstrung by prejudices. And what a pleasant place to live in the world would be.”
— Napoleon Hill
If you happen to be a non-Goth, you may think that people who dress outrageously just want to get attention or are in a phase, but you would be wrong. Let me tell you my story.
Ever since my adoptive mom sat me down for a haircut with my surrogate Korean mom, I have been a fan of hairstyles. I started playing with my hairstyles seriously since 7th grade and changed it up every few months, so when my mother made a judgment on my pink hair, I felt like she made it on me. As Lady Gaga says, “I am my hair.” Or at least hair is an important extension of how I see myself.
As with most teenage girls, I loved (and still love) fashion. Unlike most, I had a dark aesthetic, thanks to my Scorpio in Saturn. When I was a freshman in high school, I dreamed of being a fashion designer. My Goth friends couldn’t wait to go to school just to see what I was wearing, but I still had to sneak out of the house wearing “normie” clothes and change in the restroom every morning.
When I left my previous life of schooling, everything changed. I have struggled for years to make my exterior match my interior because I felt forced to give off a false impression of who I am to pay my bills. Sometimes this would even translate into looking happy when I felt an opposite emotion. Is this not ridiculous? How could anyone have communicated with me properly if they didn’t know my emotions or the style of person I am?
When I was a closet Goth, I longed for a diff
