Technicolor Dream Coat

Juicy, Juicy, Juice
My post today is inspired by Royal Trux not only because they are an underrated band who are the epitome of real legendary "Rock n' Roll" and "Soul Vamp" to me but because my friend, Sergio told me that I had a Jennifer Herrema look going on, three Saturday nights ago hahaha. There I was in my black bellbottoms, white cowboy boots, vintage distressed Jimi Hendrix shirt and exaggerated long black circle scarf enjoying the beautiful weather with my pals in the courtyard at a grand opening of a new place to grace our little city. So in much anticipation of Ms. Herrema's new band, Black Bananas, instead of posting my outfit, I post this amazingness...

Oh Canada!
After having what was referred to as a "Birthday Festivus" encompassing a 3 day birthday celebration this past weekend for me, we ended it all on Tuesday, the day of my official birth, by attending a gallery exhibition of a well-liked photographer in Miami. I figured it befitting if I ended it in the era where my heart belongs, the 60's, even if I was born in the late 70's much to my dismay. Thus I was dandified or rather primped in a somewhat fitting Vintage, slight Mandarin collared green paisley, knee-length dress from the 60's with long sleeves held together by purple buttons. Which was lovingly purchased for me as a pressie by one of my best friends Willow, whilst on a vacation in Canada. No adornment needed other than my silver and Marcazite ring with an onyx stone as there was no need to cloud the purple button detail in the front. Onyx is said to symbolize thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition, instincts. Also thought to decrease sexual desire and helps to change bad habits. Isn't that an interesting artifact? hahaha Tying it all together with black opaque stockings and my favorite black 3 tiered fringe Minnetonka BOOTS. I paired it with a black scrunchy bag with silver fringes. I have a slight tendency to somehow always incorporate some kinda fringe whether it be jewelery, boots or items of clothing in my ensemblage due to my undying love of the "Azteca" and "masala" let's just say all kinds of Indian hahaha...
Hope you enjoy a little vintage as much as I do...

Kill the Hate

Perfect weather, dearest of friends, in a room full of goths and non-goth lovers, who could ask for more? WHY CAN'T EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT BE LIKE THIS?!! Of course, it cannot always be idealistic as this is Miami but we commend you for making this most joyous occasion a happenin'! To be lucky enough to have seen them last night not only from our view alone but seeing them at all, was hands down one of the best shows we have seen in a long time. In all honesty, this was a gathering where being draped in black from head-to-toe as is my uniform 90% of the time was not questioned and where pretentiousness never showed it's ugly face. The air was that of kindred spirits coming together to see and hear something rare and unusual as music reigned supreme as it should be. In the words of one of my most eloquent friends, Arielle, "all my goth dreams come true," we collaboratively bring to you, us, backstage/side-stage viewing...NITZER EBB. Here's Douglas McCarthy, frolicking and gyrating so stylishly on stage in a black American cut two-button suit jacket, fitted black pants, white shirt, skinny black tie, aviator sunglasses hiding his eyes, and black pointy shoes - a pure mesmerizing delight to say the least. While the crowd gushed in awe, people traveled from far and wide to see and hear their chanting sounds. For those who don't know, we shall oblige and say, that they are a British goth/industrial/electronic band from the mid-80's, whose inspirations include BAUHAUS and DAF, so it's safe to say that they are old school and still killing it. Please enjoy our novice attempt at photographs and we apologize for a somewhat peekaboo video taken at the show last night...
and much clearer...

"Wonderwall" - The Fool - Jane Birkin - 60's psychedelia in London
This video is meant to set the mood and feeling of the time and nothing other than that. There is no pun intended with any junk or paraphenalia depicted in the clip. It is what my idea of a time, when caftans and fabrics were beautiful like human beings. What is a caftan? It is a long flowing garment that has long sleeves, and is ankle length. The caftan in it's original form was made of either silk or cotton and usually worn with a belt or sash around the waist or however you choose. There are no hard or fast rules to caftans or any piece of clothing in my book, the more creative, the better, bringing your own individual style and character take on them. The caftan does not have an open front, and is slipped over the head. The reason for this? I am currently working on a "caftan line" with my mum. The word "line" for the like of a much better word, I feel is too big of a phrase and it leads to high expectations, what it will be, is merely our take on a caftan that works in today's time. Pics to follow thus no pic posted as emphasis is on "our take" in the meantime I leave you with this...
