///While we were taking these pics, I kept thinking of the first self titled Violent Femmes album cover for some reason...this album was the soundtrack to my early teens..."Gone Daddy Gone" being one of my favorite songs on it... "Beautiful dress, Lovely girl"...

My ever changing pendulum of a mood has been a bit dark lately and I am really feeling this witchy look...long dresses like this one are all I want to wear right now, but who knows, my mood changes like the wind and what I am wearing usually follows suit...sometimes I feel like I have multiple personalities (I do mean that in a good way!)...that is how I keep myself entertained! hee hee...

I hope you all have a great day and embrace whatever mood you are in...///

GIMME DANGER

There are many times that I will hold on to something in my closet that I don't wear at all but like something about it. I won't get rid of it because I know that someday I will figure out someway to rework it and make it exactly what I want...here is a perfect example...

I've had this Urban Outfitters drop arm tank for a while now but it was just plain black, don't get me wrong, I love black but somehow it just didn't feel right to me so therefore I never wore it although I love the side detail...so finally, influenced by all this tie dye shit happening right now...I decided to give it a go...

And I love it!!! Black materials will turn this reddish-orange so I literally only emerged the shirt in bleach for a short time...and got this result which is total Rock and Roll NOT rainbows and happiness at all! Oh and maybe you were wondering about that cuff I am wearing..ohhh yes the CUFF!!!!

This is a vintage Kuchi Tribal Cuff from my absolute favorite store here in Albuquerque, Old World Imports. This is actually one of many pieces I own from them. They carry amazing rugs and tribal jewelry from around the world...and luckily they are online, so all of you can check out their wares...if you like BIG jewelry you are going to die!!! Check them here...TRIBAL SOUK

(oh and the lovely Leather Leaf necklace is of my own design)
