dreamin about debbie

One of my personal music idols is Debbie Harry, also known as Blondie.  She was (is) an super sexy rock star with an extremely unique voice and style.  I've always been a huge fan of her work and vocal quality.  I used to be embarrassed by my breathy voice (one of my vocal chords works a little funny) but after discovering Debbie I realized that a breathy voice can't stop you as long as you have confidence in it.

Another thing that I'll always love about Ms. Harry is her fantastic style; highly feminine and yet rock and roll all the way.  She knew how to keep up with the boys without compromising.










 I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all.

Honestly...WTF

Some more wonderful d.i.y. tutorials from the good folks at Honestly...WTF.  I stumbled upon their website and have been dreaming of doing some crafting ever since.

Here are my three favorite projects and links to the tutorials!

warhol time

I recently found a bunch of pictures from a workshop on an Andy Warhol piece that never happened.  The whole evenings work was a culmination of each individual performers character studies thus far.  Blah, blah, blah.  Anyway, that's not really the point.  The point is that these long lost pictures are effing beautiful so I thought I would share!

In my eyes and head and ears

 

The weather has been giving us a break for a few days here in Seattle.  The sun is shining, and it's actually in the 70s!  I almost don't know what to do, I feel guilty whenever I'm inside at all.  ::sigh::  Such is the plight of living in the Pacific Northwest.

Today the band is getting photos taken.  Apparently when you start doing shows regularly you also have to be able to promote yourself with images, ect.  I'm really not great at getting my picture taken.  At least, not in a "photo shoot" type setting.  Funnily enough between playing live, recording and album, and having my picture taken, the picture taken is probably the most challenging for me.

Oh well, no more whining.  What a thing to whine about, eh?

I think I'll be fine.  I know I'll have this song stuck in my head the whole time.  I've never been a big Teegan and Sarah fan, but this song has really caught me.  I think it's the piano part that I like.  Have a listen!
