A day or two of mild weather, so I reverted to my fifties bad girl JD look, fitted leather jacket, leopard print T and not quite visible Betsey Johnson skull earrings and necklace. I think I looked good swinging my high heeled black boots out of the lowered Lincoln Mark IV. http://www.betseyjohnson.com
Yes it has occurred to me that I sometimes cling to the rockabilly look as a crutch, leather armor that makes me feel like a tough girl when really I am feeling terribly vulnerable.
Trying my best Les-Lee impression
Les-Lee was a Canadian who performed at the Le Carrousel and a contemporary of the Coccinelle, April Ashley and Bambi. I believe Miss lee was also famous for this difficult to pull off open mouthed pose. http://zagria.blogspot.ca/2013/04/les-lee-1929-2010-performer.html
Since you're Canadian, do you all use licorice chains in street rumbles, lest you hurt anyone with the real deal? Actually, what *do* Canadians rumble about? Curling matches? Your public awaits your reply…
donuts...sprinkles pro or con. After a polite argument each gang went home to write a strongly worded letter to their member of parliament requesting a Royal Commission on the issue.
Back in the day, when some big shit happened in my life, I took the biker look to a new level of hardness. I wanted the Marlon Brando 'Wild One" look, complete with biker chains, boots, leather gloves etc. Looking back I'm not sure it worked, but it helped me to feel better.

ReplyDeleteWell when you look good in the rockabilly look why not use it.
ReplyDeleteAt some point I really must get myself a new leather jacket. Something in the flying jacket line methinks.
Oh and definitely sprinkles on ring donuts, apple filled with lemon icing for non-ring ones.
The real source of conflict is that they are supposed to be called jimmies. Everyone knows that! ;-)
