Danger Days

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys was a story I never expected to hear, but after a much less emotionally destructive time than that spent on The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance have transformed. Reborn like a powerpunk butterfly from an overemotional though genius caterpillar, this album just makes me want to get out of bed in the mornings, put on some colourful leather and shoot some creepy villains with my raygun.

The jacket worn by Ray Toro, or rather his Killjoy alter ego Jet Star, is a beautiful piece of clothing, and a replica ca

n be bought from the MCR website, limited addition for $99 - hopefully by the time I save that much they'll still be in stock! and yes, I know, it's a guy's jacket.. maybe I'll share it with my boyfriend.. but LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!!!

Until such a wonder of the world finds its way onto my b

ack I will have to make do with my now relatively boring (though still awesome) leather jacket from TK MAX and a bandana that I bought with the Danger Days album. Though bright yellow, this bandana has grown on me, though i have no idea which Fabulous character the colour scheme corresponds to. Still, it goes brilliantly with my new top from Republic, with slashes all down the back and stars and stripes on the front.

Born This Way (The Country Road Version)

Produced by Gaga herself, this version of Born This Way is incredibly chilled... the same lyrics, same rhythm, same tempo, but harmonicas and guitars. A feat of musical engineering to turn something so upbeat into something chilled without a key change.

Enjoy ;)

Capital H I M

OH my god. Yesterday was the release of Lady Gaga's new single "Born This Way", and the hype was HUGE! My boyfriend was ranting and raving up until the 10 minute mark waiting for the release, and when I turned on the radio later on, there it was:

Don't be a drag, just be a queen.
Don't be a drag, just be a queen.
Don't be a drag, just be a queen.

I can't stop listening to it! This song is so upbeat that it could never be overplayed due to its Prozac-like effect on people. It's different to anything we know and love Gaga for, but the '90s vibe and Madonna-esque sound make me think that this song will go down in history, among the classics like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Livin' on a Prayer!

The unsubtle and often religious lyrics are arguably disagreeable, but even if you aren't religious, the message still counts. You are who you are, and don't try to change that or tell yourself there's something wrong with you. Gaga has made sure that NOBODY can misread this song, and although it isn't the insane chaos we were hoping for, you can never forget that tune.

Greyscale dressing

Just posted today's look to Lookbook.nu, it's a really great site for fashionistas everywhere! ^^

Give me some support please and check out my new looks: http://lookbook.nu/alicekk

So yes, I'm wearing an incredibly unflattering dress with a cropped jumper from topshop, but y'know, what's the problem? I can wear whatever I want at home.

Blue tights? Hell yes. Ladybird socks (complete with eyes andantennae made from string)? OF COURSE! Pyjamas? No. I'm sick of not getting dressed on days when I don't leave the house!

It's a new year, I've got a new bed, new duvet sets, new purse (thank you River Island sale) and a lot of new makeup.

Oh, and new hair.

So, with everything being all new and beautiful, I'm going to actually USE this blog.

En Route to becoming a fashion designer, I'm taking an active step and taking photos of my outfit every day, posting them here and on Lookbook.nu (which is awesome btw). That means I always have to be photo ready, taking a camera with me to parties and constantly cutting and sticking. My notebook's pages are BULGING with cuttings from magazines, my hands are covered in makeup from designing awesome looks, and my cat is enjoying my new bed.


Enough blabber, yesterday's look is what I'm here to show off, with my NEW leather jacket (January Sales ftw) and blue and white striped dress.

Sorry about the photo quality.. What about today? The belt is my favourite part, it used to be my mum's. The rest is Topshop!

My hair here is my typical lazy day hair, backcombed and pulled into a pony.

That's all for today, I'm going to bed.

Call me Nerdy

Call me nerdy, but this stuff is cool. I spend 10% my time surfing the net, and 10% my time being superstylish (that is, inside my head), and 80% working really hard at not very much.

I just stumpled upon (via StumbleUpon) this really cool site (and by cool I mean geeky) called

http://www.icanhasinternets.com

and discovered these really cute cartoons of pop icons outside of their respective games/films, like Pacman disguised as a ghost and Jedi Knights playing on Space Hoppers and Pogosticks. Oh how I miss the 90s!!
