Video Transcript

"Hey this is Jet at Vampire Freaks in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about do it yourself Gothic fashion. So you might have some things at home that you can use to make yourself look more goth. Here we have a pair of fishnet thigh highs and we're going to show you how to cut them up and use them on your arms to use them as an accessory for part of your goth wardrobe. So here we'll open these up and cut them up. Now these thigh highs are usually pretty cheap, they're like 3 or 4 bucks so it's a pretty cheap way to do some do it yourself stuff for you. Open it up. Now here is one of them, these traditionally are worn on your legs but if you wear them on your arms they look super cool and gothy. So here I'll grab some scissors. What you do here is you kind of put it over your arm and stretch out your hand like that and you are going to cut a hole with the scissors everywhere your finger is. So right here you cut a hole, just a small hole, here you cut another hole for each of your fingers. And you just got to make a small hole for each one since it's fishnet and this fingers just slide right through, there you go. And you can wear this pretty much under any shirt and now you're all super cool and goth ready out to go clubbing or to a show or something. Now you just got to do the other one and you're all set. So check it out. Here we got the other one right here. Take out the insert. Now again you just slide your arm right through all the way till your hand's at the end, stretch out your hand like this and you just cut a hole right where each finger is, very small hole with the scissors, takes a little snip and then you slide each finger through. Last one right here and tada, now you've got cool fishnet arm warmers. So thanks a lot, bye, this is Jet with Vampire Freaks in New York."
