The skull and cross bones symbol is no longer simply reserved for pirates, poison, bikers, punks, or rockers. The design has made a splash onto the runways and all the hip department stores. Now, now, all you rocker girls who have been sporting the look since way back when, don’t get all miffed that your style has leaked out into the mainstream. You should feel flattered! And plus, now you have way more products to chose from! From belt buckles, to scarves, jackets, T-shirts, earring, necklaces, you name it! Even the most elite designers have thrown some skull and cross bone designs into their high fashion lines, along with their more casual collections. This design adds a little edge to any look. And, it can be very cutesy as well. Seriously! I have a skull and cross bones belt buckle completely covered in crystals, with little red gemstones for eyes. That coupled with a pair of form fitting jeans and a cool vintage baby-tee, equals funky yet feminine, the perfect combination to make all the boys’ heads turn.

uh... that is SO not grovy..
try the peace sign
ooh i have a shirt with cross bones it and im not punk

-shea
Thanks for the tip Ron!I'm usually very girly with my clothes and aceessories.It will be fun to try something new!
Well, i don't want to seem rude but I still want to keep away from skull bones and stuff...
It sounds cool Ronnie. I = might look for some of those things your talkin bout...lol...
megan
ron i never really liked this look but it's becoming very fashionable -b.f.n. p.s. i luv ur blog
but alot of times i dont like the look just because its like bad in some instances
YUCK! Skull and cross bones r DISGUSTING! they r so gothic.
I've been a bad girl since I was in garde 3 :) WHich has been more than 4 to 5 or maybe 6 years ago.
sounds like wonderful offiut , you better put somtething on to put ontop off it for when you finally get to beat up Reggie. Don't won't to waste good offuit by getting Reggie's blood all over it.
I HATE skull and crossbones. my sister wears them and she just looks like a preppy trying to be goth. that's how it always seems. Especially when they try to mesh it with pink and hearts. I can't imagine YOU in them either ronnie. just because it's trendy doesnt mean you NEED to wear it.
OH REALLY! TRY HEARTS
GO AVERY! i like u. u sound cool.
I'm not really into the whole, skull and cross bones thing. Not to sound rude or anything but I think it looks kinda cheap when people try to make it all preppy and glittery and pink and all that with skull and cross bones! It just doesn't go in my opinion!
I like the Pirate look. Itz cute when u've got a skull n crossbones sign with pink heart eyes cause itz like combining innocence and happiness with naughty and mischievous. Also, sea stuff is what all the stars r wearing, especially with anchors! Red and navy blue with white stripes r good colors 4 the ocean trend. The cap and the Gold [or somethin else]pendent and chain finish the outfit. Anyway, back 2 the Rocker Gal look, Avril Lavigne sports this style and it looks cool, like in her song GIRLFRIEND where she wears pink n skull n crossbones. And B.T.W, I don't think the rocker look is gothic, or wierd, itz ok. Goth is goth, and Rocker is Rocker. And the pirate look is neat, with the ruffly sleeves n all. When u start wearing dark eyeshadow n liner on 1 eye n not on the other, though, it looks weird. The belts r neat.:]- Amal*F
Stars r way cool, I draw them next 2 my name all the time!- Amal*F
P.s: C? lol
oh i love the sea look :)
you can find alot of anchors and stars and even preppy things (i am sort of preppy not really i guess lol) im more of a tomboy and girly girl lol
but anyways you can find alot of sea stuff and preppy at cliares, and icing's :)
love those places
ACTUALLY PPL IF UR A FASHIONISTA[LIKE ME!] THEN ITS GOOD 2 FOLLOW TRENDS. BUT I AGREE W/ SUM PPL WHO SAY SKULL & CROSSBONES R TOTAL NOT'S!!THEY R 4 GOTHS & WILL ALWAYS STAY THERE!PREPS[LIKE ME]HAVE NO NEED 4 THEM!UGH!RONNIE HOW COULD U??IM SURE SOME DESIGNERS DO USE THEM[AS WELL AS CELEBS]BUT MAYB THATS THERE STYLE.DEF NOT MINE THO!!!

OOOOOOOOOOH! Claire's is soooooo awesome, I love it! They had these cute rainbow earrings and their shoes rock, like the sandals n jelly shoes! - Amal*F
K, so I like preppy stuff 2, but I repeat, skulln crossbones does not neccesseraly mean goth. N about trends, u should not waste all ur money buying things that will be soon outdated n a timeless look is gr8.- Amal*F
I like rainbowy things alot, but black n pink 1nce in a while when I feel like it is fine 4 me;]- Amal*F
THE SKULL AND CROSSBONES IS UGLY TO ME!!!! I am a fashionista, but I think we should all follow our own style! We should wear what WE like. My style of clothes is either elegant, classic, fancy casual (leggings, long shirt and kapri pants, etc.), sweet or summer dresses.
amal *F,
i love those to and i also love the rainbow sandals :)))
and everyone...
you dont have to be goth to like the pirate look!
and if it itsnt pure black with skulls that are weird with not alittle touch of girly stuff then yes, thats probuley goth but when its got hearts and everything its cute!
well thats my opion but i wouldnt take it overboard or pretend to be something im not!
your girly girly/tom boy/ fashion girl.
-shea
these are the looks i like personal and it is me!
preppy look,
sporty look,
pirate look,
rainbow look,
girly girly look,
sweet look,
not goth or emo look but like i do like black clothes sometimes as long as you dont overdo it!
oh and i also like the black and pink look also :)
Thanks Jayanna! My sister almost bought a long sleeved top with skull and crossbones under a pollo shirt with the collar popped. Again, if you are goth or emo or just trying to look like everyone else, I don't care if you wear them. However, do NOT try to mix them with the preppy look or you will just end up looking dumb. But it's not really my business what you guys wear, just let it be known that you will NEVER see me in skulls and crossbones!!
Avery
Ps
Don't worry, I talked the sis out of buying the shirt!
OKAY I WILL REPEAT::SKULL AND CROSS BONES ARE FOR GOTHS!OMG WHO WOULD WANT 2 DRESS LIKE A GOTH IF THEYRE NOT GOTHS[NO OFFENSE,GOTHS]!!BUT NONETHELESS I SUPPOSE IT IS HAUTE COUTURE IF THE RUNWAYS ARE PRESENTING THEM & WELL ITS JUST NOT MY STYLE!MY STYLE IS MORE OF THE GLAMOUR-PREP-RUNWAY LOOK!
XOXO,K!
And yet again, I repeat, the skull n crossbones look is not neccesseraliy goth! 4 instance, Avril Lavigne wears skull n crossbones with pink n black clothes, and would u call her a goth? I don't think so. Goth is about pretty dark colors and mixes. So any way, the pirate look with ruffled sleeves and white/ivory/off white/whatever blouses is totally diff from the skull n crossbones stuff usually. Plus, it depends on how u wear it and with what that makes an outfit look cool or creepy or nice or whatever. But still, ur never fully dressed without a smile!:]]]]]]]]]!- Amal*F
Hey Ronnie,
I always love your fashion blog and i love the girly looks but i have to say that i do top of a cute outfit with a scull sometimes.
Kulsoom, The Skull and Cross bones are not just for Goths. Not all goths wear that. And not all goths like the color black. And maybe people do like dressing up in the "Goth" style even though they're not goth. I hope you understand. :) Because, we all got our own opinions, correct? Well, I just wanted to inform you on that. Bye.
-Pureheart the Powerful
(And P.S to everyone, I do not follow these fashion trends. I just commented here because I check and read post. Plus, I just wanted to inform Kulsoom about that "Goth Issue." Bye.)
Im glad I don't follow the really really haute couture[?did i spell that right?] trends cause they're wayyy out n wacky! Scary n Creepy! Like y'know, on the Paris runways n NYC runways n so.... 2 me, it makes no sense. Do ppl actually wear wat they buy from those places? I'd prefer sticking 2 the
Greecian heels n sandals, skull n crossbones, and 80s style jelly shoes etc! Plus rainbows rock! - Amal*F
Hi Veronica!
ps i couldnt think of wat else i could say lol- Amal*F
Gee, like only 36 or something ppl posted stories 4 poor pops!- Amal*F
Thirty-six is a lot. :) I forgot to write a story for that one... I was too busy. :( But---- I'm sure that Betty will choose the best story. :)

i'm not crazy about the skull and cross bones look either, even though it's getting so popular and all the celeb's are wearing it (like the black and white skull and cross bones handkerchief). Ron's right though, it is very trendy, but i don't think i'll try it. also, wearing skull and crossbones doesn't necessarily mean your goth
No wait...actually, 32 ppl posted stories- Amal*F
p.s yep, itz no record, but itz ok:]
Doesn't a skull and crossbones signify DEATH? Umm, i'm not too sure I want to go with it if it means that i wear death on my shirt...
The skull and crossbones isn't really me, because I'm total diva/girly girl but I do know some people who look rockin in it.The only thing with skulls that I have is a necklace, and it's sorta cute because it bhas diamonds on it! Luv ya Ron!
totaly kool!!!!! i dont haf skull and crossbones stuf but it totaly rox on people who wear it. and fyi, practicly the whole meaning of goth is wearing the color black. thats what goth means. there are no other colors for goth.
Personally,I think that you should wear the goth look depending on your personality.It's not like if you have oh, for example a tee that has a skull on it means your all goth,you might looking for something that makes you stand out.Just wear whatever you want to. luv ya ron!
iluvshoes, i luv ur name! arent wedges adorable? oh and also um what about that neon green? a lot of goth ppl wear neon green. but not as much as black.
c ya!
i love the skull and cross bone look it cute with bright colers so it dosnt look goth!! :)
omg!Thanks jayanna!and neon green looks good depending on what clothes u r wearing.if you have black on it looks ok (but it doesn't really look good on me lol),but I like wearing neon green shoes with white.Although, neon green shorts would look good with pink!oh and by the way,I think wedges are like the cutest!(BESIDES BALLET FLATS.THEY'RE AWESOME!)
Skulls r hot!
Ron, you r so much cuter than Betty
I LOVE SCULLS there awsome
omi! iluvshoes, u r SO right about the neon green. btw, r u like popular at ur school? im the smart popular girl (not to brag) and my friend Myah is the ditzy popular girl.

Jaya! (my nickname)

The Rugby brand had skulls and crossbones and Johnny cupcakes had a cupcake and crossbones for their logo ever scince those brands were made.
