~ braided ~

 

since most of 2014 was blog-free for me, ive got an interesting amount of pics and experiences

just sitting on (in?) the laptop waiting to be posted

like this braidy hair inspiration from a couple of months ago

xmas day party

the holidays just wouldn't be the same without our friend's big bash

its become a christmas day tradition

its always an interesting mix of people

exotic dancing video playlist

you know me: always documenting the drinks

terrible blurry photos but i like them

husband present

just bought the husband a surprise

he may or may not see this post -not really sure anybody knows im blogging again-

so im not going to say much more at this time..

y'all will see it when its in my greedy hands! his hands

pin ups & hot rods

came across some photography by david perry

basically badass chicks with equally cool cars

 

here's some wikipedia to start:

-A pin up pin-up girl is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture-

 -Hot rods are typically old classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed-
-A rat rod is a style of hot rod or classic car that, in most cases, imitates or exaggerates 

the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s-

-Most rat rods appear "unfinished", as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven-

the first print i saw was Pink Tattoo above, possibly slutty but also charming

she led me to others:

 Rock-a-Billy Queen Rat Rod

Bluegrass Rat Rod

Hot Rod Pin Up Girl

Chinatown

Chop Top Street Rod

West House Deuce

Pink Tattoo is still my favourite, im considering buying a print for one of my walls

catgirl

everybody knows im a t-shirt kind of girl

i got this catgirl over at ivory jar, cut off the sleeves and voila

 

am also currently into lots of gold bling, hence the ghetto hoops

 

the full look as posted on instagram

couple of months ago the husband and i went for more tattoos

he's already been for more since these pictures, he's filling up way fast

 

i got one, he got three

 

the long nails theme is repeating!
