I'm back!

I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and getting a tumblr.......  since I use this blog mainly to post pictures and rarely write things. Plus, tumblrs have a better look. It feels slightly treacherous to leave blogspot behind though, seeing as we go waaay back. I'll look into it. Regardless if I do switch over, I'll be blogging the exact same kind of thing, so make sure to 'follow' the new me! X

Hell on Leather

The silver studs I ordered online finally arrived today, so I was able to start work customising one of my leather jackets. The lapels are covered now, and I added some up the back of the sleeves and round the back of the collar too. Next thing to make is a back piece! I like the way it's going so far, though.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

The other evening, Monorail film club showed Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (Lou Adler, 1981) at the GFT. Starring Diane Lane (The Outsiders, Rumble Fish), Laura Dern (Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart), Ray Winstone (Scum, Sexy Beast) - as well as Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols and The Clash's Paul Simonon - it tells the story of 3 teenage girls who, dissatisfied with their lives, start a punk band called The Stains who carry the motto "We Don't Put Out!".
Lead character Corrine Burn's costumes and hairstyle, which quickly become slavishly imitated by the band's legion of female fans calling themselves 'Skunks', are but a few of the things that helped make the film acquire a cult following of its own, with fans such as Courtney Love and the underground filmmaker Sarah Jacobson. If you haven't seen The Fabulous Stains, I urge you to hunt down a copy NOW.



New Boots

...since I ruined my old pair of witchy boots by getting them all caked in plaster....

Rebel Youth

Wish somebody'd buy me this book of photos by the late great Karlheinz Weinberger...

It looks insanely good - so much clothespiration/hairspo/eye candy.





Oh Chloe...

That hat is on my hitlist.
