Keishii Roo first came into Second Life on 2005, February 5th, having heard of this virtual world through an old friend. "He kept insisting how great SL was and that he was building amazing things, like the Tokyo Tower, cus this place allowed him a lot of freedom and creativity, after a lot of chats and some snapshots of what he was building, i had to come check it" says Kei.
When Keishii rezzed in world, his friend tped him out of orientation island and took him shopping, to one of the best shops in SL and gave him enough lindens to buy three outfits and then took him to buy prim hair. The store sold only one prim hair style for men, but several for girls, Keishii picked one long hair style and a pair of pigtails for girls, this and from then he got a lot of great comments about his appereance. He was using the SL base skin with some nipple tattoo's he found and won several contests as best skin or best male appereance in some clubs, this was the first income he ever had in SL and the way he found to support his shopping habit.
He started to twist and build with prims the second day of his Second Life, the first thing he built was a modern minimalist home with some free textures, including furnitures and decoration. But after a bit he started to build accesories and clothes to get the emo/goth/punk look he liked and for which he didnt have enough money to get. He collected all the prims boots that were available at that time and his collection was up to 10 pairs. That big was SL in that moment.
Running around Second Life he met several designers and them and his friends encouraged him to start selling his stuffs. This is how Goth1c0 born in May the 28th of 2005, just 3 months after Keishii's rez birthday. He bought land and took pictures of his 5 items he had made until then and started his journey through the fashion world of Second Life.
Soon Goth1c0 became his main income and his full time RL job, he has lived several downcomes with SL problems and his crappy computer, a MacBook Pro that gets hot as hell when playing SL and crashes constantly, a router that became not compatible with SL with the new update of 2008 and made uploading textures a living hell. He uses this and photoshop to create nd bring to live all his ideas. His main goal and dream is to desing affordable fashion items for others, in the style he likes the most. The apreciation words and support of all his customers, made up for all this problems he has to face.
His inspiration comes from japanese goth scene mostly, dark animes and mangas, punk street fashion or classic fantasy period gowns and anything that crosses his path, even weird dreams. He is always creating and designing, not meaning that he puts everything up for sale, he has countless outfits and items built in his inventory that will probably never look the light of a photo studio or a vendor in any form, being too picky with what he sells and all this makes his collection of goth gowns and outfits not as big as he would want it to be, but special in every sense.
