I was one of about 20 goth extras in self-proclaimed alien Soko’s new 80’s-cheesed music video today for a song she collaborated on with Ariel Pink called “Lovetrap.” She asked us to dress in all black and look “goth” so I wore my vintage black lace dress from Ragg Mopp and black combat boots from Urban Outfitters.
