Bat's Day Survival

Every year, the Goth kids of the world (or...Southern California) meet up at the happiest place on earth. Sound unlikely? It actually makes a super fun pair. Bat's Day in the Park is a gathering of spookies from around the country held at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. The weekend includes concerts, vendors, and so much more! This year, I will be vending with Pink Addict, VersAtelier will have a booth, and Forgetmelots and 3ssica will be slingin' cards. Saturday will be a whirlwind day of products...and hopefully some cash along the way.
Sunday is the actual day...I have NO idea what I'm wearing, but I've put together a list of must haves for the long day at the park.

1. SUNSCREEN. You're goth, right? Who wants a tan, burn, or freckle?
Barbie Sunscreen

2. PARASOL. Goes hand in hand with #1. Keep you head cool and look adorable whilst acting responsible.

3. COMFY FOOTWEAR. Don't sacrifice style! Plan you outfit around your footwear and you won't have to feel like a putz in a corset with cross trainers. I'm a big fan of flat maryjanes, comfy combat boots and ballet flats for this occasion. Cyber kids? Throw up some worn in platform sneakers and you should be good to go.

4. BACKPACK. Handbags and box purses may look cute, but you'll be ready to throw it into the Pirates of the Carribean before the night is over. A medium size backpack is the ONLY way to go. Messenger bags are good too...anything that's easily comfy and hands free.

5. CAMERA. This event is really a site. Hundreds of goth kids smooshed with middle class families...who doesn't want to capture that? Bring a small, lower-end camera...or your cellphone could do!

6. SUNGLASSES. This is a no-brainer. It's So-Cal, kiddies.
Polka Dot Sunnies!

7. POCKET MIRROR. Chances are, you've got some form of make up on. What better time to touch up than in line for Space Mountain??

MOST IMPORTANT: Please don't be boring. This is a time to dress up and be RIDICULOUS! Here are some sample outfits for inspiration:
