Ebay Love #2

This vest was love at first sight.

.

Perfection in studs, patches and denim.

.

Thanks random Brit geezer for being silly enough to sell it......

Ebay Love #1

I'm a sucker for a vintage tee.

.

Its a tad religious (unlike me) but it's general crustiness and somewhat-metal vibe won me over.

.

A few neck and sleeve alterations and it'll be good to go.

.

My catholic nana would be proud......

Today's Top Tune - Mariachi El Bronx 'Cellmates'

It's 35 degrees today in Sydney and hot weather demands appropriate hot weather tunes.
.
My fave for a sunny day is Mariachi El Bronx.
.
For those of you who don't know, The Bronx are a hardcore band from L.A.
.
The band's alter-ego is Mariachi El Bronx - Its full blown Mexican mariachi at its best.
.
Check out 'Cell Mates' - Even if only for their adorable light-up Mexican garb.
.
A personal fave is their cover of Prince's 'I Would Die 4 U'
.
I defy you to be down listening to this.......

Bandits and Thieves...

The Summer Tee - American Apparel . Vintage Mens Flannelette Shirt - Bowl-a-rama Vintage at Harajuku Markets

Blank Leather Skinny Moto Pants - Nasty Gal Vintage . Lace -Up Chunky Heels - Shakuhachi

Vintage Suede Studded Bandana - Zoo Emporium, Surry Hills

What I wore the other day.
.
Loving the suede bandanna - it does up with press studs and feels more "Billy the Kid" than my other bandannas.
.
These Shakuhachi heels are a few seasons old but they have a slight "Ann Demeulemeester" vibe and don't kill to wear all day.
.
The leather skinnies are all kinds of awesome.
.
Some say they're too full on for everyday wear.
.
I say nuts to that really.
.
Nuts to that.

Today's Top Tune - Mammal 'Smash the Pinata'

So here's a new thing I'm doing.
.
Seeing I work in music I thought I should get a bit more of it onto the blog.
.
No better band to start with than my favourite - Mammal.
.
'Smash the Pinata' is the first single from their most recent album 'The Majority'
.
Words do not describe how good this band are live - front man Ezekiel Ox (pictured) is a juggernaut

Skeleton Dance....

Leopard Biker Jacket - Harajuku Market

Vintage Punk Tee (stretched to a dress) - Wastelands L.A

T.U.K Creepers - eBay

Black Drape Vest with Studded Straps - Jodes' from Hong Kong Market

My iphone is back from the hopsital and I'm back from Japan.

.

Back with a few new goodies too.

.

I snapped these at the pole studio before a vigorous practice session.

.

Don't really know what happened in the first shot but I like what the lights doing.

.

Leopard and biker....you can't really go wrong can you?

You're Fucking Killing Me....

Seriously Pixiemarket.

.

Fucking killing me.....

Tempted Tempted....

images: stolen from NOIR XXX

I've been toying with the notion of going back to the red side for some time now.

.

These two hot bitches put up a good argument.

.

To be continued....

I Can't Resist....

image: google

...A good pair of skinny pants.

When Jodes was last in N.Y she finally hunted down these Lip Service PVC 'Leggings' for me.

They're actually cut like jeans, have a fly and everything, but they're so tight they call them leggings.

I'm serious, so tight I have to leave the ankle zippers half open or I cut off blood flow to my feet.

Circulation issues aside I am pretty much obsessed with them and their neo-gothic tendancies....

In other pant-related news, I FINALLY found my dream leather skinnys.

.

These baby's are by Blank and they have awesome moto seams at the knees.

.

Super supple and not crazy expensive, I can't wait for Nasty Gal to ship these suckers to me.

Fall to Pieces....

Apologies for the absence - I dropped my beloved iphone and it shattered...i'm shattered.

.

Now I'm sans camera.

.

Sans ipod

.

Sans mobile ebay.

.

Sans sanity.

.

Come the fuck on Optus, fix my phone already.

Off the Cuff....

Self Customised Vintage Leather Roc Boots - Ebay

So these are the self-studded boots I alluded to in my last post.

.

I kicked ass lining the studs up on the first one, but the second one (sinister left boot) proved to be more of a problem child.

.

I tried to fix it at first, but then decided the wonkiness is quite reflective of me and just let it be.

.

Nothing ground breaking, but I do so adore how practical/comfortable/coordinatable (not a word but I'm going there anyway) they are.

.

So much so that I bought a similar pair (but with a heel) and added some spiky studs down the front seam.

.

Sound familiar? Maybe because Jodes stole them and used them in her latest EVIL TWIN look book shoot.

.

Thats what sisters are for right?

Grave Robber....

This is one of the coolest fucking things I've ever seen.
.
So obsessed right now....

Me In Three....

Vintage Suicidal Tendancies Punk Tee - Wastelands, L.A . Vintage Short Sleeve Black & White Stripe Blazer - Hong Kong . Silence and Noise Pleatherette Pull-On Pants - Urban Outfitters, U.S . Necklace - Random ball chain and two rings too big for my fingers bought from eBay

A couple of lavatory snaps from a few weeks back I never got around to posting.

.
I've been off sick with a bitchin' flu so haven't rocked much other than flannelette pyjamas as of late.

.

Did spend my down time studding some chunky-ass cuffs onto some chunky-ass flat black leather boots.

.

Surely I'll get around to posting them soon....

Two Timer....

Why is it when you see other people wearing things you own they look so much better/cooler/whatever in it than you?

Zig A Zig Ahhhh....

A friend bought platform sneakers just like these a few weeks back.
.
She decided they made her look too Harajuku Girl (she's Asian by the way).
.
Me being the nice person I am, offered to buy them off her.
.
Despite my punk tendancies I was, am and (viva) forever will be a Spice Girls tragic.
.
Scary was my fave.
.
These are a little more Baby Spice, but I still love them.
.
I've changed the white laces to black.
.
Will try and be a halfway decent blogger and get a shot of them on here soon......minus the nude bodysuit.

Re: Booting....

Creeper BOOTS - Have you ever seen such a thing?
.
Why oh why aren't you my size?
.
Ebay, why are you so cruel?
.

Misfit Me....

Vintage Misfits Tee - Ebay

Cobalt Blazer - Half price from Salvo's Op Shop, D.I.Y Stud Job

Fingerless Leather Gloves - Ebay

Black on Black Cons High Tops - General Pants Co . Bowler Hat - Gift from Jodes

I love this Misfits tee.

.

It used to be a bit of a mis-fit itself, so to speak.

.

To alter I just unpicked the side seams, cut a bit off each side and safety pinned it back together.

.

Seeing as its winter, I've just chucked it over a body con and stockings.

.

But it's in its element in summer with high waist cut offs - perfect ventilation.

Porcelain Pirate....

This jacket's on Pixie Market now for $120...feeling pretty good about my $20 eBay purchase right about now

Acid Wash Denim Cropped Biker Jacket - eBay . Striped L/S Tee - Salvos Op Shop . Jersey Fringe Necklace - Jodes/Platinum Evil DIY that I stole

Vintage Biker Boots - Stolen from Jodes/Platinum Evil

MINKPINK Body Con Dress - Gift from Jodes/Platinum Evil

Ahoy there from the work bathroom again.

.

I feel like a pirate for two reasons.

.

One - red and white stripes with blue always give me that visual.

.

Two - I've stolen a lot of this outfit from my sister (boots, dress, necklace and even stockings).

.

But that's what sisters are for right?

.

Shame she didn't have a Rhianna-esque studded eye patch.....

Bathroom Creeper....

Mens Chambray Denim Shirt - Jay Jays . Vintage Punk Tee - Wastelands, U.S . Stud Belt with Chains - Dangerfield


"Slasher" White Jeans - MINKPINK . Tuk Two Tone Creepers - Ebay

Another day, another bathroom photoshoot.

.

I think I'm going to start making these a regular event.

.

Got these Creepers off ebay about a month ago for the bargain price of $25.

.

They are the comfiest way to add centimetres.

.

I'm having a full blown love affair with them at the moment.
