The Finnish Rude Boy

Oh behold! I´ve been ranting about the amazing Finnish boylesque scene before, you know with the testicle festival- all male happening last February and our own Godfather of Manlesque Frank Doggenstein and so on... Now we have another reason to hoot! My boy Rudie Ruthless is performing this Wednesday @ the Slipper Room in NYC! And he will be the stage kitten (or pick-up, as we say here) at the Friday event for the NY Boylesque Festival! If you´re still wondering about what boylesque is about you can read some quotes from the performers here!
SO, if you are New York this week, be sure to see our Rudie on stage and get an insight in the wonderful world of boylesque at the NYC Boylesque Festival!!!

Sleaze II

For Friday, here´s an icon of sleaze rock. Hanoi Rocks blew my mind back in the day and still does, and Michael is still a force of nature! Have a good one, peeps <3

Sleaze!

I grew up on rock music. Pop never really got a hold of me... there was a slight fling with Wham! for sure, Duran Duran yes... But what really kicked me in the stomach in my early teens was hard rock. Sleaze rock, as I have heard it be called as well. Oh yes. Later there came punk, funk and hard core but the first love is, well, -you know. Always there. So for your Thursday entertainment, in my post-hot-yoga-happiness I present to you two awesome sleaze bands, one from the past and the other my new found love. See, I do listen to other than just 40´s jazz :) Guns ´n ´ Roses and Harcore Superstar!!!

 

When Axl still was hot. 

                                                                Thank you, Sweden!

Bad Hair, part 2

Happy Wednesday,peeps! I found a few more old photos of things that might save a bad hair day, as well as a couple from last weekend when I tried that scarf/know thing I posted a pic of on Friday.

The kitchen clock broke but I saved the part that had been the "numbers", in this case forks and spoons. To be used in a number, I´m sure :)

A blurry picture of me and my vintage hat found at Helsinki Vintage a few years ago. Very "Little house on the prairie", right?

The look I had last Saturday, from the side. The fringe turned out pretty nice, three rolls.

This hat can be seen on stage in Tampere this Saturday. Amazing work by Pepper Sparkles!
