Charlotte Free (returns) + Random curiosity

Dear Miss Free, you are amazing (LOL). While I was 'Checking out' spring runaways, I fortunately met another Charlotte Free's campaign, again, wich came available to the media (YouTube #YOLO)  one week ago. The campaign is from spring season of the brand Forever 21, wich is just on the distinctive tone of Miss Free, half -bubblegumpopstarteenager, half - teenrebelrocklolita, just lovely, and it's really one of the most inspiring girls for me, is like kind of punk-rocker without leaving appart her "Lolita side". 

About the brand, I must say that I like it (and it's weird that I like something on "massive quantity" ), they always have several styles availables, I mean, they don't sell something just because it's a trend, they always have two styles, or how I call it they have a "downtown style" and an "uptown" one. It's also a brand that is ahead of the trends; I'm not a trend-fan, (view trends as 70's style, color block, baseball jackets, and the well-known style in my enviroment that I call "the tumblr style" wel: short-shorts, oversized tops,etc.) but I really like this one, because 'grunge is back'... well, maybe I'm not happy for that fact, it kinda annoys me although I'm still quite happy by two basic reasons, 1- They think (and thought) I'm crazy because I wear broken tights (and fishnets), long wavy hair, floral dresses, total-black converse, denim jackets, old sweaters, original 90's graphic tees, and the fact that I like(d) punk and grunge music, and after, all of them they'll wear it and will be obliged to say they like it ( Well, who laughs the last?); 2- At least, after all these years, I could buy dresses that I like in every store I go (well, we'll see that) and I could buy them with MY OWN money. 



Español: Querida Srta. Free, es usted alucinante. (LOL). Mientras hacía un 'Check Out' a las pasarelas de esta primavera, volví a  encontrarme fortuitamente con Charlotte Free y otra de las campañas que salió a los medios (YouTube #YOLO) hace una semana para la bien conocida marca de ropa Forever 21. La campaña de primavera de Forever 21 bueno, que decir, simplemente, está en el tono distintivo de la Srta Free, medio - bubblegumpopstarteenager, y otro medio - teenrebelrocklolita, simplemente adorable, y realmente es una de las chicas que más me inspiran, es una especie de punk-rocker sin dejar alejado su "Lolita - side".

Sobre la marca, he de decir que me gusta (y eso que es díficil que algo en masa me guste), siempre tienen varios estilos disponibles, es decir, no sólo porque se lleve algo es lo único que venden, siempre disponen cómo lo llamo yo un estilo "uptown" y otro "downtown". También es una marca que se adelanta a las tendencias; no soy muy fan de las tendencias, (véase la tendecia años 70, color block, las beísboleras y el ya bien conocido en mi entorno y cómo yo lo llamo "tumblr style", bueno, los shorts-shorts, y las camisas oversize, etc.) pero en esta que viene realmente me gustará porque vuelve el grunge, no estoy muy contenta por lo de que se convierta en tendencia, eso me molesta aunque por otra parte estoy contenta por dos razones básicas 1- piensan (y pensaban) que estoy loca cuando me ven con vestidos floreados, medias de rejilla, pelo largo y ondulado al natural, y zapatillas converse totalmente negras, camisetas con gráficos originales de los 90, viejas sudaderas y que me gusta(ba) la música punk y grunge, y después todas lo llevarán y se sentirán obligadas a decir que les gusta (¿quién rie el último?); y 2- Al fin, trás años de no comprarme vestidos, voy a poder disfrutando haciéndolo, porque al fin me gustarán los que venden (bueno eso ya se verá) y me los puedo comprar con MI dinero.

God bless the mess you made. (The day music died)

We all know who Kurt Cobain was, and If you don't, I'm sorry but I'm not going to copy the Wikipedia article, so Google it!, anyway most of Nirvana fans miss Kurt, (me included) I just wanted to make was just  a reminder of him, wich is one of my idols, he gave me hope on music, wich is already gone,... well anyone who has turned on the radio on this days, knows what I'm talking about (that sh*t).

 

I don't have any favourite song from Nirvana, but this ones are pretty close of  how I feel about this. 

Bad news don't finish here, also, Layne Staley, the lead singer from Alice In Chains. The died the same as Kurt Cobain, but in 2002. 


Another grunge idol was gone; yes, today is a sad day for grunge music fans.

Girl Crushes - Katie Jane Garside

After the already mentioned wave of "strawberry cake" in my brain, here comes the flowers and mug one, coooooool! wich I think, is the one I love the most, duh, the point : since I discovered  Katie Jane Garside's video singing Pink Flower with her first band Daisy Chainsaw, I wished I had born twenty years before just to watch her live on stage. And If you like grunge groups/bands with/of reckless, siniester and wild girls (ha.ha.haw) such as Hole, The Dogbones, L7, Bikini Kill, etc. her current band QueenAdreena won't disappoint you.
Well, this is not the official videoclip of the complete song, but it's a good introduction: (video below)

Español: Después de la oleada de la ya mencionada "tarta de fresa" de mi cerebro, aquí viene la oleada de fango y flores, biiiiieeeeen! es lo que creo que más me gusta, buéh, al grano: desde que descubrí el vídeo de Katie Jane Garside interpretando Pink Flower con su primera banda Daisy Chainsaw, deseé haber nacido veinte años antes sólo para poder haber ido a sus conciertos. Y si te gustan grupos grunge de/con chicas desmadradas, siniestras y temerarias (ha.ha.haw) como Hole, The Dogbones, L7, Bikini Kill, etc. su banda actual QueenAdreena no te decepcionará.
Bueno, este no es el videoclip oficial de la canción completa pero es una buena introducción:


And how it gave me a "mono" of Katie, I kept scratching into the recommended videos and I found a great song, well, my (currently) favourite one from this band Pretty Like Drugs : (video below)


Y como me entró la "mono" de Katie, seguí rascando entre los videos recomendados, y encontré una gran canción bueno, mi (por ahora) favorita de esta banda Pretty Like Drugs :

   


She has such a lovely style looked like Courtney's... but  more deathly, and  siniester (hahaw). I haven't explored Katie too much yet, but I'd guaranteed my interest by her and more girls' hardcore bands wich make music for "crazy wannabe  hardcore bitches" as me.

Tiene un encantador estilo parecido al de Courtney ... pero más mortal, y siniestra (hahaw) Aún no he explorado muy profundamente a Katie Jane Garside, pero garantizado está mi interés por ella y demás bandas de chicas explosivas y hardcore que hacen música para "crazy wannabe hardcore bitches" como yo.

Settled in Seattle

Yesterday night I was falling assleep when suddendly my music player, changed  the song, and started to sound one of my - between mood changing- favourite songs, Post Acid of the group Wavves, It's for me a great source of inspirantion (lately). I'm in an underground vibe,dressing like SKY FERREIRA, watching DARIA, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and SICK, SAD, WORLD, reading and buying BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD's comics, watching films like GHOST WORLD and standing at the telephone gossiping with my friend. Underground vibes that's how I represented it in my tumblr and on my desings. for visiting : http://yes-iamthebitchyouhate.tumblr.com/, and here's some "inspirational pics"
