PSYCHO...in more ways than one

So today I finished reading Go Ask Alice. Incredible book, in more ways than one. Incredibly insightful, incredibly depressing and incredibly good. If you have not read it you need too. It is a diary of a girl in the seventies, she goes through everything. Its all true, you are reading a real journal of a girl. READ IT!


Next type of psycho:
    Psychobilly!!
  lately I have been feeling the urge to fall back into my high school punk phase, which was really a psychobilly phase, which was an obsession with the Horrorpops

Another sweet band

the creepshow

these women are the perfect example of how to be feminine without being "girly". I super hate when girls think they have to dress like a man to not be girly. You CAN be FEMININE with out being GIRLY, that my dear friends is a very important concept!!!!!

Anyway I have been falling in love with this music all over again, and of course along with that comes the inspiration to dress like them. So I dug out my creeper boots with disney villain laces, black eyeshadow,and dark painted lips. Zombies, ghouls, and bad ass women, thats Psychobilly to me! 

Another high school punk love 

The Horrors!!!!

the last few are from the video to their song, she is the new thing. Its my favorite by them, no wait scratch that, jack the ripper is my favorite but this I love the video, it is a mixture of video and drawn stop motion. WATCH IT

so there is my rant for today

adieu 

Tramps and Theives

   So i went to the thrift store saturday and found the most amazing incredible beautiful gown ever! It is a 1950's or 60's homemade evening gown, it is the color of belle's dress in beauty and the beast. A high neck tank dress with a full skirt and a cute little bow! Also... IT WAS 99 CENTS!! I do not currently have a picture but I will have one up as soon as possible!!
    Its so rainy here!! I am on campus all day, I come in at 8 am and leave by 930 pm... I have 12 hours of class in one day! The rain is not helping at all, and I am lacking a major amount of caffeine.
    Ok inspiration time!!!

GYPSIES!!!!!!! 

    First picture unknown,  gypsy woman from the 10th kingdom, Dinner scene from stardust, Michelle Pheiffer (sp?) in stardust, And of course CHER. I love the gypsy look and feel, lots of layers, tons of jewelry. I just made it through the 6 or so hours of the 10th kingdom and have had gypsies, fantasy and wolves on my mind. That movie is so cheesy but incredible! I love the wolf, the idea of wolf men, and no I am not "team Jacob". I am team Sexy wolf! like sooooooo

Yeah thats the guy from 'call me when you are sober' by evanesces (sp?) He is seriously gorgeous, and I love the period look of the costume he has on!

This is the Wolf from the 10th kingdom, He acts cheesy in the movie but the wolf in him is sexy all the same!

So there is my rant on gypsies and farietales. I love the idea of retold story tales, or their continuation of them into the future! Scify and hallmark have the best movies of things like that. Alice, and Tin Man are from scify and are both incredible! Voyage of the Unicorn, Dinotopia and the 10th Kingdom are great halmark movies! Watch them!!

Wanna be o top?

Ok so im sitting here in a room full of windows, drinking iced coffee and watching americas next top model.  The aftermath of the Brittany breakdown is intense. I was incredibly upset that Alexandria won the warriors in pink challenge. The Fight against breast cancer is something that is near and dear to me and that fakey fake won...I was so mad I e-mail the tyra show to complain. I have disliked girls like crazy, but never so much to actually do something (or try to do something) about it.

Ok enough about them. New obsession? NAILS. Illamasqua has the craziest coolest fake nails. how can you resist these beauties?!?! They are called nail quills, which makes them even hotter!

these are the toxic nature, toxic claws...again HOT! Too bad they are way way expensive and I am way too broke.

These nails made me die!!! they have a tutorial on the website on how to make your own out of fake nails, needless to say I did this asap. with dark maroon nails and gold hearts on my ring fingers. I do not have a picture unfortunately. But I promise they were magnificent! -RJ
