SUCH AN 80’S BABY
Hey all you moon cat’s and night owls,
It’s 3:12 am pacific-northwest time(Portland has it’s own time-zone), and I’ve had a night full of ruckus bringin’, hair shakin’, love makin’(naaaht, but it rhymes!)body rakin’, good ol’ college fun(so scrabble and antique roadshow, duh-sies.). But I’ve been dreaming of big hair and big style always lately,so I feel I have to write out my visions to you punkin’s, regardless of the effects of sleep deprivation I’ll be forced to reckon with tomorrow.
So lets talk about the glam god’s of the past and the icons of today:See if we can scrounge up some inspiration for the future.
POISON
Okay so I will be the first to admit that Bret Michaels is a total tool-head(tool-head?Who the eff says tool-head?). Rock Of Love makes me want to blow my brains out, and shake those plastic-tittie’d slores back into reality.BRET MICHAELS IS NOTHING WITHOUT HIS COHORTS.BUT.The hair, the make up, the mash-up of plaid, floral and denim, has me swooning. These girly men put it best, every rose has it’s thorn.(But seriously, nothing gets me goin’ like a man in make-up and platforms).
CHER
Oh hay baby!Look at you all dripping in black velvet, diamonds, and barely-there netting!Cher, not a big fan of your melo-dramatic vocals, big fan of your melo-dramatic attire. Win.
JOAN EFFING JETT
JOAN JETT I WORSHIP YOU.Red tank-jumpsuit+black fingerless gloves+badass eye makeup+UNHOLY GUITAR SKILLS=GLAMOVERLOAD.
PAT BENETAR
Benetar, my mom loved you, I love you, the world loves you. You rock that gold glitter onesie till the end. Long live the queen.
DAVID BOWIE
The best, the last, the beautiful.
I really don’t feel like this needs further explaining.
But let’s take a little blasties back to present day, and look at some of my favies of our generation, shall we?:
JOHNNY WEIR
Johnny baby, on and off the ice your fabulous. Round of applause for Mr. Weir everyone. Only you could rock the fur(better be fake bitch),the military-chic,and the glittery body suits and still be taken seriously.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Tres Chic mama Beckham, tres chic.I’d like to play up my office trousers with leopard print kicks and leather corset belts too.
JOHN GALLIANO
John Galliano is one of my favorite designers of all time, he’s truly brilliant. And he wears daisies on his noggin. (And oh the horrifying things I’d to to rock his locks).
LADY GAGA
Gaga, your my girl. For real, I have such a deep love for all of your art, and your reckless abandon of barriers. Your fucking fabulous, inspirational, sexy, genius, and so so much more. Daddy I’m so sorry I’m so suh suh sorry yeah, we just like to party like to puh puh party yeah.
OH AND GUESS WHO!
(I hope you all get the black glove/rose references.)
Ahhhh relief, holding in all of those sugarplum dreams of blown-out locks and tranny make-up is like trying not to break the seal after three rounds of pabst-pong.(At least that’s what I hear from my bad-habited friends).Thanks for bearing with me babies.
Sweet dreams my lovelies, may you find yourself’s in wonderlands of rockstars, red lipsticks, and rebellious youngsters.
xoxo

OH AND P.S!
New layout! Which equals commenting abilities now. Comment comment away! Thinkin’ i’ve lost my marbles and/or I look horrible in baby blue nineties eye-shadow?? DO SHARE baby loves!The good! The Bad! But please, not the ugly. Save that for some other diva’s blog.
P.P.S, The shoe at the top is an Alexander Mcqueen design, featured in the same line as the one I posted in my very first episode(episode?).I thought it’d be funsies to feature whatever shoe i’m dyin over every week or so.
