OMG, I love having cherry blossom pink hair! 

I washed my hair with an old purple color shampoo I had lying around from when I had dark purple hair.... Old. LOL But it worked its magic and I now have [very temporary] cherry blossom pink hair. 

I love it so much! It's so fun, and I think I'm going to keep doing it for a little while. It's a VERY temporary look too- the color will wash out the next time I wash my hair, unless I use the color shampoo again. It's cleaner, and easier- not a pain in the ass like actually dying your hair. For pastel colors though, you [obviously] have to have very light hair like mine, and it's not going to make much of a difference on darker hair. It's actually made for sprucing up your [already dyed] hair. 

My grandma hates it,.... IT'S SO COOL.

Today I mailed my first letter in... several years now. I do everything online, usually, so this was a rare occasion in which Gary and I walked to the nearest mailbox [and took photos]. Feels weeeeird!

What a long weekend! While I had a lot of fun with family, and supporting my little sister at her high school graduation, and saying goodbye to my dying kitty [so heartbreaking - farewell, old friend], I'm utterly exhausted and glad to be back home. After all that, I don't give a shit what I look like today, and am rocking the grunge look with a pair of old ripped jeans and a DIY t-shirt.

Although I don't wear them very often, I really love long witchy/bohemian skirts. <3 

This outfit was just thrown together on the fly, before going with Gary, his mom, and grandmother [and her two dogs] on a hike yesterday. It's a far cry from hiking gear, but I didn't know I was going until the last minute. LOL Spontaneity is the spice of life, right?

I called the hospital this morning and made an appointment for Wednesday to get my back checked out further. I don't know what to expect, really, but I'm hoping to get a diagnosis within the first few visits.. I have a feeling this won't be the case though.

Positive thoughts!

I'm so happy to see warmer weather again (even if it isn't very sunny out today). I have a LOT more spring/summer clothing than I do for the colder months. 

I'm in the process of reorganizing my wardrobe, and I get so excited when I rediscover an older piece I've missed. This tank top is one of those pieces- I've had it for many years now, and altered it for a festival a few years back, with just a pair of scissors and shoelaces. 

I'm a regular MacGyver. LOL

I've had this t-shirt for 6-8 years now, I think. When old band tees (I have a LOT of them) start getting ragged, I usually deconstruct them in a way that fixes the problem areas, or create something entirely new. 

The easiest and most used t-shirt mod I do is simply trimming the hems off. 

The details: 

I like to cut a wide neckline (but not too wide, you'll stretch it later) so the t-shirt hangs off one shoulder. Then I trim off the hems on the sleeves, and sometimes the bottom. Don't obsess over your cutting too much- it'll even out later. 

Then you'll want to stretch the material around the edges you just cut. 

Do it a few times so it rolls up a bit. Easy!

Did you know...
My first stage experience was when I was 4 years old, and it was at the Clemens Center (named after Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain) in Elmira, NY, featured in these photos. It's changed quite a bit in the last 24 years- I love the colors! I've always loved this place- it's beautiful.

T-Shirt DIY #2 - Off Shoulder Tee

I have a lot of old, slightly too large t-shirts in my closet I've collected over the years. Some of them I've worn to rags. Others, I wore a few times but never quite knew what to do with them.

Now I know. And it's super easy.

Cut the neckline and sleeve hems off your t-shirt, stretch the edges, and let them roll and even out on their own. (A lot of necklines can be rather small, so you may need to cut off a couple more inches. Try it on and adjust as you go.) If the shirt is longer than you'd like, you can cut off the bottom hem as well.

No sewing necessary. And it should take, at most, 15 minutes of your time.

This is especially great for thrifty shoppers and those who want to DIY but aren't sure where to begin.

Outfit: Slave To Machine

Summer isn't dead yet- I was a little warm with this hat today, especially in the sun. But it is a beautiful day and this weather should be enjoyed while we still have it.

Today I grabbed a few random items from my closet and threw them on without much thought. I wore this outfit to Subway, Walgreens, and to the two spots in these photos. (Now I'm in my home studio, preparing to get back to work on the Breaking Pandora EP.) This is a casual, comfy, everyday outfit that could be worn for a number of occasions.

I love layering clothes- it creates depth, adds character, and encourages you to experiment. How many different ways can you wear the clothes you already have in your closet?

Outfit: Black On Black

I really like this outfit- I just wish I had a clear shot from the front. But this will do. 

This is actually the first time I've posted a photo with my Coffin Case, which was given to me by a good friend about 3 years ago. (I miss you, buddy!) The retail value of this model is about $70.

Men's Style: Mohawks and Tattoos

Today I figured I'd do something a little different from the usual outfit posts- instead of styling myself, I styled Gary and took some photos with my camera.

What he's wearing:
shirt - Eighty Eight
jeans - DIY

He describes his style:
"My style is 'wake up and throw something on'. It reflects my weird personality. If I'm feeling goofy, I might wear something a little more strange. I try not to care too much what others think; I wear what makes me, me."

T-shirt DIY #1

This one took me a while to make (about an hour) due to the amount of measuring, marking and cutting involved. But it's fairly easy overall.
