- Uber Extensions<\/a>: Go for the Hi-Tech look with neon green hair down to your ass! Usually adorned
\nwith ribbons and bows, left over from the extreme femininity of their Goth days.<\/li>\n- Knee High Boots<\/a>: Extremely oversized platform boots that strongly
\nresemble cement blocks. Extra points for buckles, chains, spikes, stompiness.<\/li>\n- A short skirt<\/a>. That’s right. Show off those legs.<\/li>\n
- Industrial Baby Doll T: Choose from the following: Wumpscut (Eevil Young Girlie), Funker Vogt, Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now, many of you gearwhores out there are thinking “WTF? All about BDU’s cut off below the knee, a grubby\u00c2\u00a0tank top, and hair strapped back and\/or shaved off”. Now, we aren’t talking about c0re gearwhores that would\u00c2\u00a0beat Rudy Ratzinger down in the street to get their hands on the Imminent Starvation Tupperware box set, but those “too pretty to be a rivethead” snots that stand around and annoy you when they rush out to dance\u00c2\u00a0to Icon of Crap (I mean, Coil). Anyways, those ridiculous platform shoes that the rivetbitches wear just makes them easier to push over and kick with our steel toed boots on the dance floor. AHAHAHAH<\/p>\n
Attitude:<\/span> Make sure you have a slight “I’m better AND prettier than you!” scowl\/sneer on your pointy, pale little face. Project a “Don’t approach me because I am more industrial than you” look. Also make sure that you have an elitist attitude towards your music. Your favorite bands are Wumpscut and Project Pitchfork. If someone asks you about a band you never heard of (which will probably be often), just crinkle up that cute little nose of yours and go “Their stuff is OK…I had a few of their albums, but I sold them.”<\/p>\n
Music:<\/span> Your favorite label is the Metropolis label. Thank god for cheap domestic releases of Evil’s Toy! When someone starts\u00c2\u00a0trying to ask you about your favorite ant-zen or Hymen band, just raise your eyebrows and say “Those noize bands all sound the same. Talentless hacks\u00c2\u00a0just stand there and fiddle knobs during a concert, and they expect me to pay money to listen to something that sounds\u00c2\u00a0like my air conditioner unit? I don’t \/think\/ so!”. Be careful, as some hard core noizheads might just figure that you are worth\u00c2\u00a0beating down right then and there. Dis Imminent Starvation near me and I will hurt you (or give you a dirty look. Have you figured out\u00c2\u00a0what one of my favorite bands are yet?? LOL)<\/p>\n
Dancing:<\/span> Rivetbitches do not stomp. Nor do they flail out their arms. Next time you are at the club, take the time to watch one of\u00c2\u00a0the local Uber Rivetbitches dancing. They can be found on the stage\/cage\/cube (depending on club) during a VNV Nation song, showing off tummy\u00c2\u00a0and doing some odd slinky sexy dance that is a result of their former days as a Goth. There was a rivetbitch on either side of me while I was dancing at DefCon\u00c2\u00a0a few weekends ago (which inspired this page), and it is just ridiculous. Rivetbitches have the ability to make a gearwhore feel\u00c2\u00a0all self conscious about themselves.<\/p>\n
Mintie sent in more detailed information on the Rivetbitch Skanky Dance:<\/p>\n
Rivetbitches dance to snare their prey. Navels most\u00c2\u00a0likely are showing and cleavage is at maximum\u00c2\u00a0exposure. Skirts are short but not trashy short\u00c2\u00a0[rivetbitches are not trash, they are sexy], and\u00c2\u00a0garters have as many straps as you can comfortably\u00c2\u00a0work with. The key [in all things] is to remind\u00c2\u00a0unsuspecting rivetboys of sex. Thus throwing them into\u00c2\u00a0the internal conflict of “if I try to kiss her, will\u00c2\u00a0she kick my ass?”<\/p>\n
All of the components are used in conjunction with\u00c2\u00a0each other. It is noted in the descriptions which\u00c2\u00a0combinations are acceptable.<\/p>\n
**disclaimer. this dance combo cannot be used by any
\ngear whore who thinks she can be a rivet bitch. it is
\na highly potent prescription and should only be used
\nby a professional**
\n<\/em><\/p>\nBody I<\/strong><\/p>\n
Mostly used during the melodic sections of songs or\u00c2\u00a0the quiet breaks in songs. Also can be used to lend a\u00c2\u00a0“breather” in the middle of songs. Comes in very handy\u00c2\u00a0for position changes.<\/p>\n
Feet firmly planted, no more than shoulder width\u00c2\u00a0apart, hips swaying dramatically but smoothly, side to\u00c2\u00a0side in time with one of the musical properties [i.e.\u00c2\u00a0drums, synth, words]. Occasionally, lean back, throw\u00c2\u00a0hips and one foot forward. pivot to change dancefloor\u00c2\u00a0perspective.<\/p>\n
Combine with Arms I or II.<\/p>\n
Body II<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is the aerobic component of the combo. Feet\u00c2\u00a0firmly planted. Arm combo as desired. Shoulders\u00c2\u00a0squared and facing the ground. Upper body moves with\u00c2\u00a0the music as feet stay in the same position. Every\u00c2\u00a0once in a while bend at the waist, and sneer at the\u00c2\u00a0ground. Additionally, occasionally kick one leg up.<\/p>\n
[apparently this is a Chicago thing]<\/p>\n
Combine with Arms II or III.<\/p>\n
Arms I<\/strong><\/p>\n
This move vaguely mimics taking your shirt off. Wrap\u00c2\u00a0arms around your waist [hands should not extend\u00c2\u00a0further than the sides of your waist] arms crossed in\u00c2\u00a0front of you. Slowly bring arms up, uncrossing them\u00c2\u00a0until your fingers are entwined over your head. [this\u00c2\u00a0is a good time for a pivot]<\/p>\n
Arms II<\/strong><\/p>\n
Bring wrists together behind your back. very effective\u00c2\u00a0when wearing bondage cuffs.<\/p>\n
Arms III<\/strong><\/p>\n
From shoulder to fingertips, fling one or more arm as\u00c2\u00a0if you are trying to fling something off the end your\u00c2\u00a0hand. Should most definitely be in time with the\u00c2\u00a0predominant beat of the song. [Best when done from\u00c2\u00a0back to front of the body and one arm is preferable.]<\/p>\n
Another user submitted this observation:<\/p>\n
“The (faux) Lesbian for a Reaction Dance: Do the standard\u00c2\u00a0Rivetbitch dances, of cource including Arms III\u00c2\u00a0(flicking a booger off your hand). Move to the other\u00c2\u00a0side of the stage and dance with the other girl(s),\u00c2\u00a0dancing as close as possible rubbing each others hands\u00c2\u00a0up and down one another’s legs, grab each other boobs,\u00c2\u00a0and if one is wearing a shirt lift it up and\u00c2\u00a0grab&squeeze. And don’t forget to act as if you may\u00c2\u00a0at any time break down and make out with eachother,
\nfor the “anticipation” of the crowd(being the guys),\u00c2\u00a0but of course you never do it because your not a\u00c2\u00a0lesbo…your only a lesbian for reaction.”<\/p>\nElitism:<\/span> Hang out with THE hottest rivetboi in the clubs, but don’t ever do anything to let anyone know whether or not you are dating.\u00c2\u00a0That way, more girls will be envious of you, because you get his attention, but they can’t determine if you are together or not, thereby making\u00c2\u00a0you and the rivetboi even MORE unapproachable! Let them throw envious looks in your direction, and perhaps pettily gossip, but nothing more. Oh , the power, the power!\u00c2\u00a0God, I hate the club scene.<\/p>\n
What else should be included in the rivetbitch section? With the rise of girls in the industrial scene, there\u00c2\u00a0are bound to be more stereotypes popping up.<\/p>\n
