teen bitch

my friend jenn and i are starting a band with the rule "no boys with guitars."  we're calling it teen bitch.  it's going to be largely performance and image-based, which made my brain go nuts.

 the grunge-revival-riot-grrrl-90's-obsessed fashion trends are pretty interesting to me, since i was born in 1990 and remember a lot of the things that "the kids" are into now.  generally, my style is a super femme-y version of "classic" goth style (think siouxsie sioux and lydia lunch, not raver crow goes to burning man in the matrix).  but i find myself enticed by this particular trend...  i don't know if it's because i'm feeling nostalgic, i wanna wear more colors, or i'm just listening to way too much hole, but i'm liking the idea of adding just a few articles of clothing and/or accessories that are just a bit sweet and look a bit off or wrong to the rest of my outfit.  the other day i added a mint green cardigan under my leather jacket with the rest of my all-black ensemble and raven skull necklace and i was kinda into it.  i made an upside-down cross pin out of rhinestones.  i'm into subverting the good girl/bad girl dichotomy, super feminine feminism, i don't know.  i haven't really gotten to have much fun with my style in a long time, i've felt creatively stifled, and, yeah, i guess i'm bored.  also, my interest in the occult is resurfacing with a vengeance.  here's some recent inspiration.

i don't know, i'm not usually drawn to tumblr-induced hipster crazes, but for some reason this one appeals to me.  maybe because it's because i still like unicorns and glitter and lace and growing flowers and shit but i also like deathrock, black lipstick, witchcraft, punk, etc....  i just wanna dye my hair and be some badass, girly, witchy, magical creature that you really don't want to fuck with.
