THANKU MAGGIE FOR LOVING MY LIL BLOG.

long overdue.

since i am super bored at work and i have not taken the time (and i have been meaning to) to blog about the movie "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains." This movie was originally made in 1981, but was re released recently again. The premise of the movie is basic, but the fashion is amazing! The movie stars miss Diane Lane (who is cuter than cute) and Laura Dern who play teenage girls who start a punk band. The film was originally titled, "All Washed Up," and was never given wide release. It has a loyal cult following and I only wish i had found out about it sooner, as i would have definitely joined the cult. The Stains were also frequently referenced by the riot girl movement of the 90s.
mmmm, i wonder if they were the influence behind jena malone's band name????

last night i took my papa to see Paradise Redux at Real Art Ways. i was pleasantly surprised and amazed at how truly talented this John Kelly was at playing as miss Joni Mitchell. i went, not really knowing what to expect, but from beginning to end i was completely enamored with his performance and ability to capture her true identity. we were sitting in the second row, with the rest of the die hard fans in the front. i think, to be perfectly honest, you need to be a true true Joni fan to really appreciate a show like this. it was absolutely amazing how well he played her songs and the instruments and still managed to capture her essence and mannerisms to a tee. my papa was impressed that he even got the Canadian accent right. I was in love with this man as Joni, and would have been flattered if i were Joni herself, but i was even more in love with him when he took off his wig and dress and sang Joni as himself.
my one and only complaint was that he was wearing leopard print shoes which i felt were something that Joni would never wear.....but still it was worth every penny!
Here are some pictures:

i know.

i realize that i have already blogged about jena malone, but i just came across some really fucking cute photos of her including some from her layout in Dirty Glam magazine from last month. I just think she is the cutest.

a few tings.

FIRST....saturday i will be bringing my papa kenney to Paved Paradise at Real Art Ways. My papa is by far the biggest Joni fan i know. When i was a kid he owned all her albums, listened to them incessantly, played her songs on his guitar, talked about how beautiful she is, and now he is even considering buying a piece of her art.

Also, another thing on my mind lately is the idea of wearing brown and black leather accessories together. I am a person who always avoided doing this. It is a slight OCD thing for me, if i wear black boots, i do not also wear a brown bag or belt. I think this fashion fopaw is beginning to grow on me slightly the more that I see people doing it. What do others think about this???

I also want to turn your attention to a wonderful blog that has had me drooling everytime i have time to look at it. there are no words

WAKE ME UP WHEN WINTER IS OVER.

my hair

for quite sometime now, i have been trying to grow my hair out...with the hopes, to create drastic roots. so far, so good. i have been amazed that no one has questioned my "laziness" (or so it may appear to those women who think that roots are just atrocious). i was amazed to come across a couple other ladies dawning the same locks. i was pleased to know that i wasnt the only one with the hopes of ultimately looking like a california surfer girl from the 70s who's beach blonde has now grown out with the chill of new england.

I wear my garment so it shows

thankyou matthew....my kindred spirit.

i love this girl.

a good god damn

i was in a record store the other day trying to pawn some records when i came across an old parliament record. i immediately got all giddy looking at the cover of the record and noticing the vast array of pure fashion freakouts! i hope this blog entry reaches you well....i mean, parliament is a band i have not really listened to, ive heard a few songs here and there. but the fashion that these kids were throwin at me on this dusty record cover was pure perfection. when i googled them i came up with better images from funkadelic which was george clinton's sister band to parliament. still. no failure in the fashion department. sorry i dont have more pictures, but please look over the ones i could find with care...danke

MILK

sean penn has been in my top five favorite actors list for quite some time now....his performance as harvey milk in the movie "milk" only solidified this for me. the movie was above and beyond my favorite of 2008. it illicit ed a variety of emotions for me from laughing to crying to pure inspiration (aaaaah the sweet fashion of the 1970s). i also was able to gawk admirably at james franco, who, in this movie was beyond beautiful. sean penn must have been honored to make out with him.....in any regard, please go see the movie,,my selfish review does not give it justice!

there are some people in this life that i would be content with never running into again.
