                                         no.......im falling apart

no introduction necessary

sonic youth = one of my fuck off favourites



Butthole Surfers

The Butthole Surfers were one of Kurt Cobains favourite bands. i like there name... kinda screams youth rebellion doesnt it? This 1980's alternative rock band had a reputation for their appetite for recreational drugs, particularly psychedelics, an evident influence on their sound. this video isnt the best quality but have a look anyway.

punk rock means freedom.

blurred vision.

i have too much that I want to talk about, complain about. Whatever. You know when you were in high school and your English teacher wanted to make you think outside the box… so they give you this subject which has the ability to stem off onto different subjects, which can stem off onto different subjects and make you completely go over your word limit? Well that’s exactly how my brain works. That’s the easiest way I can describe my thinking patterns. so i am sorry if i haven’t blogged in ages but without some sort of straight line direction i find myself writing on tangents and filling pages with the end result being the overuse of the delete button because i know that i will bore you all shitless. dont stress though, my brains still working and as usual has too much to say.

im trying, So bare with me.

rockabilly.

has anyone ever heard of a bolo tie?


well you probably dont know that they are called that but you would have seen them wraped around the necks of the all those babe cowboys in the classic Western movies. these neck ties define the rockabilly scene of the 1980's which is one of the earliest forms of rock and roll music - probably why i wanted a bolo tie so effing badly. they became popular in the 1950's and they are legally the official neckwear of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas (how cool is that!) Bolo ties are my current obsession!!! in fact i spent hours on ebay scrolling through hundreds of them and drooling over each beautifully crafted tie. they are pretty much just braided leather with decorative metal tips which are secured with an ornament. But the look SO cool!! 


well guess what! I GOT ONE!!! and it only cost me $4!!! Thanks to my op shopping addiction, i managed to find one in a Vinnies store in Bundaberg when i was there for a work trip on the weekend. i am soooooo obsessed with it! i think im a cowgirl. (i shall post a photo of my new bolo as soon as i find my phone)

ps im not stopping at just one...

wannabe.

bikini kill.

many of you probably have never heard of bikini kill... so this is me educating you.

bikini kill was formed in Olympia, Washington in the 90’s. The band consisted of four members vocalist Kathleen Hanna, guitarist Billy Karren , bassist Kathi Wilcox, and drummer Tobi Vail. Tobi Vail (the drummer in bikini kill) actually dated Kurt Cobain (and broke his heart!). In fact on the Nevermind album Kurt based most of his song lyrics on the raging grief he felt after she dumped him! On another note Tobi actually wore the deodorant ‘Teen Spirit’ and after Kurt and Tobi slept together one of Tobi’s friends spray painted “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit” on his bedroom walls. [Little bit of Kurt history for you there rock stars]. Anyway im sidetracked…

Now the reason I am blogging about this punk rock girl band is because they were the pioneers of the riot grrrl movement (I am in the process of writing a blog about riot grrrl so you all understand what the fuck im talking about), and were infamous for their radical feminist lyrics and intense live shows. They were famous rebels who rejected mainstream music labels and rock press and their music was characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced.

These girls are inspiring! They would come on stage wearing whatever the fuck they felt like! Rocking out in their underwear, writing the word SLUT across every spare bit of skin they had. They had true freedom of expression through their lyrics, their opinions and their style. True grunge punk rock chicks!



Now your assignment is to go on youtube and look up one of their live performances and i know you probably wont like their music but you WILL appreciate what these girls did for women in rock and roll. Bikini kill are the female stand outs of the grunge scene of the 90's <3

deer me.

ok so i recently got another tattoo and am already thinking of my next... am i addicted? fuck probably... like i said i have an addictive personality.

so anyway - i have been obsessed with elk or deer antlers for forever and always wondered how i could position a tattoo of an antler on me that doesnt get mistaken for a stick...but i couldnt so instead i decided that i want to buy a set of real ones.

they are ridiculously hard to come buy and when you do they are so expensive and probably dont ship to Australia which is upsetting. but im determined! oh and just so you all are aware i would never ever purchase animal products which caused harmed to an animal - you can actually buy antlers that come off naturally (THANK GOD) Cause i want some soooooooo bad!

i like words that dont make sense


i wish mum would let me carve words into my walls. i want to be surrounded by the english.
