Get Some Colours On

Even though the "colours" I wear most are black, white, and grey, I still love (and agree with) this song. Also, Calvin Harris just might be the cutest boy in the world.

We are the beginning and ending of everything.

Fantasy Makers black lipstick. Vintage necklace. Shirt from PacSun. Rue 21 jacket.

These are pictures from the night I saw Franz Nicolay, The Wild, Ninja Gun, Fake Problems, and Against Me! at the Masquerade in Atlanta with my friend Kristin on New Year's Eve. We stopped by Little Five Points before the show; Little Five Points is always an adventure. Someone tried to sell me jewelry by yelling, "Hey, goth girl! I got some goth jewelry! Made from real coffins!" I couldn't help but laugh. If I had cash on me, I probably would have bought some "goth jewelry", too.

The show was incredible. I enjoyed every band, but Franz Nicolay stole my heart. He played accordion, guitar, and electric banjo. ELECTRIC BANJO. He made self-deprecating jokes and wore this great suit and hat. Later, he came back onstage to play keyboard with Against Me!. He is multi-talented and charming and I would just carry him around in my pocket with me if I could.

Against Me! started playing around 11:50 or so. Tom was performing a new song when the clock struck twelve and 2011 was over. When he finished, the band went straight into "Sink, Florida, Sink," which is my favorite Against Me! song. I sang along, cried joyfully, and gave Kristin a noogie because that is how I show affection. I can't imagine any better way to spend the first minutes of this year.

They also played some of my other favorites, like "Re-inventing Axl Rose," "Baby, I'm an Anarchist," "Pints of Guinness Make You Strong," and dozens more. 

I love Against Me! If you haven't seen them live, do it. Right now.

And since this is a "fashion" blog, I just want to point out that there are some great outfits in the third and fourth pictures.

Pictures taken with disposable 35mm camera. From top: a liquor store in Little Five Points; gold, glittery Doc Martens at the Masquerade; Franz Nicolay; got drugs?; Fake Problems; a Brazilian named Carlos (pronounced CARRRRRRlos); Against Me!; Against Me! again; one more Against Me!; Kristin at the corner store; me in Little Five Points.

Oops

This is just a quick little update to let you know I haven't forgotten about this blog. My complete lack of posting lately is due to the fact that I am clumsy and somehow managed to shut my digital camera in a car door. I swear, I'm so accident-prone -- it's a miracle I have lived this long.

I am saving up funds for a replacement camera now, and posting will resume some time soon.

Happy new year to you all! Tonight I am seeing Against Me! at the Masquerade in Atlanta for the third time in three years. I cannot wait.

Ragnarok

This silly outfit was all based on the fact that I really wanted to wear these furry boots. Say what you will about furry boots, but these are warm and comfy and I love them. The fact that I stole them from an ex-boyfriend who wore them to a Viking-themed party only makes me love them even more. (Jesse, if you ever see this blog, I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist. I really like these boots, OK?)

Eddie Bauer sweater was a gift from Addison's mom. Addison's plaid shirt. Thrifted animal-print cardigan. Miley Cyrus/Max Azria dress was a gift from my mom. Rue 21 tights. Stolen boots.

Courtney recently sent me a wonderful package, which included this Log Lady pin! Thank you, Courtney! The package was a nice surprise, and I'm glad this adorable little Log Lady is part of my Twin Peaks collection now.

Eat Your Cancer

I feel like you could turn this blog into a game where you have to spot the pets in the background of my photos. Samus is the fluffy cat on the porch. We look a lot alike, don't we? We have the same hair and black lips.

Old American Eagle hat. Walmart sunglasses. Rue 21 jacket and jeans. Addison's plaid shirt. Thrifted cardigan. Pixies tshirt. Found belt. Converse shoes.

I felt like being warm and channeling Kurt Cobain in this outfit. He will always be a source of fashion inspiration to me. I like how he usually looked like he just grabbed whatever was on the floor of his bedroom and put in on, yet the end results were always so cool. Nobody else could just throw on a bunch of layers with different patterns, some ratty sneakers, and some worn-out jeans and look as amazing as he did.

Tunnel Snakes Rule

It's too damn cold outside for chainsmokers like me. And Addison says when I wear boots with cuffed jeans like this, I look like a tunnel snake. I consider that a compliment, though. Tunnel snakes rule.

Rue 21 jacket, jeans, and socks. Thrifted black shirt and boots. Wal-mart plaid dress. Pixies t-shirt. Ancient hat from American Eagle. Scarf was made by my mom.

Burn the Witches

Rue 21 hairbow; Fantasy Makers black lipstick; Dollar Tree skeleton necklace; vintage USMC shirt; thrifted black shirt and boots; Heritage 1981 dress.

I wore this outfit a few days ago, when I went to Chattanooga with Addison and Brett. We stopped by McKay, which is this amazing store that sells used books, movies, video games, CD's, and records; the store also has bins outside for rejected books, and people are allowed to take as many of those books as they want, for FREE. So, the three of us stocked up on free books, which came in handy when we had a bonfire in our backyard Saturday night.

I've never told you guys about my roommates before, but they are some of my favorite people ever, so I'll tell you a little about them now. I live in a four-bedroom house (where Addison and Brett's parents used to live, before they bought another house and moved out of this one) with four guys: Addison, Brett, Willie, and Steve. They are all a lot of fun to have around. We might even do a Secret Santa kind of thing for Christmas!
