I'd sell my soul for money to burn with you.

It's a little late to mention this since the season is long over, but I greatly enjoy the E! show "Married to Rock." I actually enjoy all of those shows -- "Rock of Love," "Charm School," etc.

My favorite "Married to Rock" couple is hands-down Josie and Steve Stevens. They are really adorable. Case in point: she surprised him backstage with a Hello Kitty guitar, which he proceeded to thank her for and play onstage, even though his entire band was horrified.

Anyway. I think Josie is exceptionally awesome, and she has totally had an influence on my style. Never before in my life have I considered enjoying Hello Kitty anything. Now I'm finding myself drawn to pink, bows and assorted cutesy clothing items.

I love her big hair, pink accessories, stripper shoes, ruffles, cutesy jewelry and weird decoupage nails. She has an Etsy shop in which she sells goofy bows and decorated jewelry, but I feel like it's too expensive and would be more fun to make these things myself.

I also didn't mean to bring up "Rock of Love," but since I did, I'm going to give a shout-out to Ashley Klarich, who is also awesome and stylish.


In conclusion, "Rock of Love" chic is on my radar this season.

And the sky was made of amethyst.

Today was the debut of my animal-print heels.

The Grateful Dead t-shirt is from new year's 1990-1991, which was the first new year I ever celebrated! And by "celebrated," I mean that I probably slept through it.

Kiss me, you animal.

As you (should) know, My Chemical Romance's new album just came out! I went down to the mall to pick it up today at Hot Topic. No shame. Well, okay, a little bit of shame.

While I was there, I was coerced into buying a pair of ankle boots at Charlotte Russe. Actually, it didn't take much coercion. They're fabulous.

I would also highly recommend the album. Excellent purchases today.

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

It's that time again-- time to check out another of my fashion icons. This time around, I give you Janis Joplin!


Here she is with Big Brother and the Holding Company (wearing a really fantastic outfit):


And here she is with Grace Slick (both of whom look fabulous):

The beading, the texture, the accessories! The little glasses! I want it all.

I'd rather go to Hell than be in purgatory.

Well, a couple of people told me to take pictures of the outfit that I was wearing today, and that was reason enough for me.

You've seen all these pieces already: Satan is Waitin' tank top, the faux leather jacket and the (not pictured) black boots that were featured back in February.

By the way, this is what I ended up looking like prior to the Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie/Murderdolls show (which was awesome):

I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'.

Tomorrow I'm heading out to see the Murderdolls, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper in Universal City! And, as if the fates are conspiring to make this really awesome for me, the delightfully Satanic shirt I ordered came in the mail today.

I couldn't be more excited! I am going to have to put a shawl on while going through airport security, though.

Couldn't be more excited!

We're gonna stay away forever until we're dancing on my grave.

I wanted to introduce you to another one of my fashion icons: Michael Monroe, the lead singer of Hanoi Rocks.

I cannot put into words how unbelievably stylish I find this guy. All of his clothes are absolutely perfect. He knows how to rock bright colors, contrasting colors and neon-- be still, my heart. He also knows how to accessorize and combine excessive fringe with red cowboy boots. What more can I say? I wish I could dress like this all the time.

But, while we're on the subject, the other members of Hanoi Rocks were also quite fashionable and deserve mention.

I would go into more detail, but these outfits speak for themselves. Where do you even find clothes this amazing? This band is also excellent, so everyone should thoroughly be in awe.

Tomorrow's cancelled.

A couple of updates today! Here is an outfit that I wore a while ago:

My mum recently gave me this Who t-shirt, which I wore with my American Apparel pocket skirt, red-and-black flats and my heart-shaped glasses.

I also got some new shoes from Forever 21 that I love!

And I changed my hair, too. How exciting!

When the heart guides the hand.

My heart-shaped glasses arrived Saturday afternoon (all the way from Hong Kong, apparently)!


These pictures are not the highest quality, but the sunglasses are exceptionally cool. I was slightly concerned that these would look too Marilyn Manson on me, but if I had been worried about that, I probably should have stopped a long time ago.


Yeah! And, I miss spring break already. I hardly knew ye.

She obliterated everything she kissed.

Alright! This post is all about excellent rock 'n' roll women with fantastic style and fantastic music. Here are some that I find most inspirational:


Babes in Toyland



Jack Off Jill


Hole



Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs



The Runaways


Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane

This has been the first of a few Excellent Rock 'n' Roll Women inspirational posts, probably, as I could most likely go on for quite some time on this topic. Until then!

It just suits us well.

Welcome to February, everyone. Since I had plenty of time to spend watching Marilyn Manson videos over and over, I figured that I should take some goofy pictures of the Manson-inspired outfits I've been traipsing around town in.

Yesterday, I wore this lovely ensemble to work because I was able to see the sun, finally.



I told you these pictures were goofy. This is because I start work around noon and do not get home until one or two a.m., which is when this photoshoot took place. Also, I am naturally goofy-looking at times.

This outfit is composed of a Target dress that my grandmother bought me when my luggage was lost at the airport and my orange Doc Martens. Basically, I was trying to recreate the vibe of classic Twiggy Ramirez.


And that's what I'm up to these days. I also bought some new heels that I'll excitedly post about soon!
