Lipstick Is Not Decoration. It’s a Decision.
Lipstick Is Not Decoration. It’s a Decision.
Lipstick has always been treated like something small—something pretty, something optional. But for many goth girls, it’s never been just makeup. It’s a signal. A boundary. A quiet way of saying, I know who I am. Lipstick Like a Weapon is about that kind of power—the kind that doesn’t shout, chase, or beg to be seen. It’s for anyone who has been underestimated because they were calm, soft-spoken, or silent.
This book is not about being mean, manipulative, or cruel. It’s about learning how to stand still when others try to push you. How to say no without explaining yourself into exhaustion. How to protect your energy without apologizing for it. It teaches that silence can be strength, that boundaries don’t need speeches, and that confidence doesn’t need volume.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to smile more, talk more, or give more just to be respected—this book is for you. If you’ve been told you’re “too quiet,” “too intense,” or “hard to read,” this book is for you. Goth femininity isn’t weakness. It’s precision. And precision is powerful.
Lipstick Like a Weapon is coming soon. It’s not here to change who you are. It’s here to remind you that you were never powerless to begin with.
