Runs Deep

I've been going back to my teen days lately, when it comes to music, anyway. Been listening to all the bands I used to listen to when I was 16. From First To Last, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Aiden, Senses Fail, Further Seems Forever, Dashboard Confessional, you know, when Emo was what the hipsters listened to before they became hipsters xD

Oh, and this is my Armory jacket. I'm trying to cover it in band patches from bands who play at my venue, The Armory. It's gonna look sick if I can pull it off ;)

And yeah, I know my tights have a horrible run in them...I wore them once before my nail went through the ankle and turned into a run all the way up to my thigh...ugh I'm so pissed about it. I've had these for a while but haven't wanted to wear them because they are practically ruined....xP

Anyway, Happy Easter, Rebels,

It Is Finished

Today is Holy Saturday. When Jesus was in Hell paying the price for our sins and kicking some serious Lucifer A.$.$. The Bible doesn't talk much about it, but I like to picture Lucifer's face when he goes from thinking he finally won, to the realization that Jesus has won all along. For us. Man, I can't wait to get to heaven. The first thing I do is going to be to run up to Jesus, sit at his feet next to a big lion friend, and say, "Jesus, tell me about that time you were in Hell kicking butt for me and the rest of your kids."

But that's me ;)

I'm Gonna Make You

Top: Thrifted | Shorts: DIY H&M | Shoes: Demonia Creepers | Suspenders: Claire's | Rosary: Vintage | Socks: Forever21

I may have gone a liiiiiittle camera crazy....but hey, that's what happens when you put on an outfit that makes you feel like a babe, right? ;) I've been doing a bit better lately, which probably has a little to do with the fact that I FINALLY settled on a new [used] car and I'm just waiting to get the financing and annoying details sorted out and I should have it before or by my birthday next week. Sweet timing, I know haha. God is good and has definitely orchestrated this entire thing, I have no doubt about it. ANYWHORE, I'm shamelessly obsessed with my leather shorts and suspenders. A few things that I will be on the lookout for though, are sandals, sunnies and denim shorts for the summer. I should probably look into some new creepers too. As you can kinda see, my left one has been duct taped together because my ex boyfriend's adorable dog decided they were just too perfect NOT to chew on....yeah I know.

It's Been Swell, But The Swelling's Gone Down

Top: DIY Tank Girl Tee | Shorts: DIY H&M | Leggings: Rue 21 | Boots: Dr. Martens | Coat: Thrifted

Tank Girl is my dream girl. What, straight girls can't have dream girls? I have two. Tank Girl and Allison Mosshart. I also have strong, thick, healthy thighs. Deal with it. It means I could kick your butt with them, got it memorized? ;)

Watch Out For Me, Baby, I'm Hell on Heels

They're crappy quality, ipod photos, but it still captured Dakoda and I in our pretty much natural state. Punks at heart, always. I made his jacket for Christmas last year and the vest I made myself too. I bought him his very own pair of two toned plaid bondage pants, straight from London, for his birthday. I've never seen him so happy and genuinely appreciative of anything before [in terms of gifts haha]. He's never owned his own pair before, he always wore his older brother's stuff for the longest time. I've wanted to get these for him for years but I was never able to until now, so it was a glorious day ;) [his birthday isn't until March 13th but who doesn't love early presents??]

Punk love never dies.

Back Down, Kid

Top: Forever21 | Shorts: H&M pants/DIY shorts | Jacket: Forever21/DIY | Earrings & Suspenders: Claire's | Boots: Dr. Martens

My boyfriend walked off a job site today because his mom's fiance [who is his boss] was talking all kinds of crap about me and after he was told to stop, he kept going. So instead of beating his face in like he said he wanted to, my boyfriend walked off, threw his gloves in the trash and kept walking. This dude doesn't know squat about me yet for some reason felt the need to agitate Dakoda about me being a b*th and a "blow mouth" whatever that is... Not sure where he got the information to make such judgements, but since he doesn't mean much at all to me, his opinions are invalid so they don't hurt me. But this outfit, I realise, is sort of my way of expressing my attitude towards the whole matter....so take what you want from it. I really don't give a d*mn.

I Know Me Better

This is what I wore Sunday but never got a chance to capture it on camera. [Boyfriends are so distracting.]

I need to read more. And write more.
