ROCK AND ROLL AND SHOCK AND AWE

My Style, Shopping / March 28, 2020

"IF YOU DON'T OWN THE STAGE,

YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN ROCK N' ROLL"

-GRACE SLICK

I don't fancy myself terribly rock n' roll, but let's stay on theme with this post about rocker tees, and obviously, a few tattoos.  I got my first one, a little teepee (it was Furbish's logo at the time) on my wrist, a year after my mom died.  She successfully maintained a fear in me for 33 years that if I got any tattoos, she'd 'tan my hide', plus a slew of other of Southern sayings threatening to beat me as only a mother who was raised, and reared her own on switches from the backyard can.  Ok, mom, heard.  I daren't not.

Up until about 4 years ago - that's when I traipsed over to Blue Flame Tattoo, just across from my apartment at the time, with a quote in hand that I directed the artist to tattoo on my wrist. With a side-glance shorter than a shiver , he told me nope, it's too big -- it would need to be at least 7" long.  Whelp, went to plan B - a small teepee, about 2" tall that looks more like an upside-down birthday hat on the inside of my wrist.

From there, the floodgates opened, and I two by two, I ended up with an ark-load of tattoos.  That metaphor did not work at all and is frankly ridiculous, but I committed, at least and saw it through.

I have collected several more over the years (including all 7" of the original quote)- they're mostly all on the insides of my arms, so it's likely most people will never even see them.  I'm pleased with every single one - no regrets here.  Sometimes I wish I had been more deliberate up front, like if I'd had a plan or a theme, but I wouldn't trade the hodgepodge that I have now.  Many of them come from Daredevil Tattoo in NYC - I would very much recommend their shop, specifically Soyoon - she does fine line tattoos, she's super-quick, it doesn't hurt, and although she's sometimes crabby, you always get a hug at the end.

Let's roll on from the rocking to my fave category of clothing - a band t-shirt.  I have hit a new low in the schleppiness of my wardrobe during this quarantine, but I generally know enough to pair a tee with a blazer, or a skirt to achieve the desired effect of not looking like I work at a bong store.  Here are some the faves I found cruising around the interwebatory.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCoolOn East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Design
ter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
