1 Listen to the band Black Veil Brides.
Listen to the band Black Veil Brides. If 你 like them, and really dig their lyrics and message, 移动 on to step two. If not, this is not the 文章 for you.
2 Purchase their album(s)
Purchase their album(s). Real members of the BVB army buy the music, and merch, so as to support the band and further the cause. But if 你 can't afford it, don't worry. Also, strongly consider purchasing a couple BVB shirts, and for a real hardcore fan, either a Pentacharm 项链 (For atheists, Satanists, and anyone who doesn't care about the meaning behind the Pentagram)(The 项链 is really just the BVB symbol made into a star) 或者 项链 of Prayer beads/a rosary (For Christians, catholics, 或者 anyone uncomfortable with pentagrams)
3 Come up with your BVB warpaint.
Come up with your BVB warpaint. Most people only wear it to BVB concerts and gatherings, but some BVB 粉丝 wear it all the time, to turn heads, 或者 just because they feel RIGHT in their paint. BVB warpaint all has it's own little twists and add ons that make each person's paint unique. Try to paint your arms and neck/face/legs/whatever in an image that reflects your inner self. The one detail that almost all warpaint has in common is a stitch on the right side of the face (with makeup of course) from the lip all the way to where your face ends and jawbones begin. This is another brilliant piece of symbolism used to express that although nobody is perfect, and everyone is wounded and scarred in some way, everyone is beautiful. This is the meaning behind their debut album's 标题 "We Stitch These Wounds". Here is an example on the face of lead vocalist Andrew Biersack.
4 Believe strongly in the ideals and Recruit others for the army.
Believe strongly in the ideals and Recruit others for the army. Take a strong stance against bullying and be prepared to stand up for ALL people being bullied (especially but) not just other Bridesmaids and Ushers. Though we are generally a nonviolent group, do know how to defend yourself in a physical confrontation, but do everything 你 can to avoid one first. Defense, not offense!!
5 Have fun
Do have fun and treat all Ushers and Bridesmaids as family, as that is what we are. Whether male 或者 female, gay 或者 straight, white 或者 black, rich 或者 poor, we are all united under the stitch, and we are all equal.
6 更多 fun
Start 亚瑟小子 and Bridesmaid gatherings, and local groups. Have fun, and stay safe. Protect each other, and always remember, that we are young and we are strong. Through strength in self we become something 更多 than they can be. This is our Sweet Blasphemy
