back... SORRY.

in celebration of my return (umm... where did i go??) i guess i should start out with some crappy pictures of the outfit i wore to lady gaga a couple weeks ago. not sure why this is relevant except for the fact i drew inspiration from 2 very opposite yet very 80's directions. (excuse the blurry pics -- will have to use my real camera next time.)



high top creepers, fishnet thigh highs, leather shorts, vtg silver lame` shirt, vtg hat.

first. this hat transforms me in to not andi but andie from pretty in pink. i'd like to feel like i relate to andie in more than just sharing a name. her diy sewing, her strong direction of style (though hers was very victorian) and her red hair! ha.

gorgeous! who doesn't want to be andie walsh?


and my other inspiration was derived from the depeche mode 101 dvd. unfortunately, i couldn't find the picture i was looking for. but i channeled a fan from the dvd, one who wore thigh highs and cut offs, boots and crimped hair. she had a boyfriend who wore one feather earring and looked like a mix between adam ant and peter murphy.



this image is a still from the 101 concert dvd where martin is wearing a similar hat and some lovely bondage.

lady gaga was a good show. everyone seemed all dressed up for the occasion though pants should have been required.
