Jus' A Rascal

Today I had my hair cut and coloured as I said yesterday,I am so happy with the result,it is much shorter,but that's the way I've always liked my hair,never really been a long haired girl,ha,altough I do love long hair,haha.I spent three hours having it cut and coloured,as I had to have the old colour took out as much as possible and then highlighted to get rid and when I was there,I just thought,ah cut it all off,I don't care,it's only hair,haha,Agy D looks gorgeous with her scrubbing brush hairstyle anyway,ha,she has a beautiful face.
When I got home from the hairdressers,Lily was waiting at my house for me to return,haha,I am getting her a key soon and also SHE'S NOT MOVING FOR A WHILE as her house fell under or whatever,ha,but yeah,thankyou God (Alex)
We did some gardening,then listened and danced around to the best radio station ever! Arctic Monkeys,Florence,Oasis,The Beatles,The Rolling Stones,Stone Roses etc,it is so good!
Also,I really like Ellie Goudling,I don't care what anyone says,I am going to see her at Underage - can't wait!
Here's a few photos from today (me and lily)
I shall take some proper photographs tomorrow of my new hair..

the mothers take a shine to you,that's not the case with the dads

Had such a nice weekend! Been out to watch the football,all I am going to say is Get a grip England,come on,at least have a bit of passion about you.
Generally I have nothing to do now that all of my exams are over and I have offially left school,I have the longest holiday ever,which I am so so happy about,it's great doing nothing,although I do plan to order lots and lots of books and dvds and also apply for a job somewhere.
Tomorrow I am going to the hairdressers,to have my hair 'permanently' died,eek.
Wanting to go the same colour as Alexa,the hairdresser is going to advise me,haha,I may want blonde like Alexa also,unsure.
I have also been wanting to get my tragus pierced and longing for a tattoo,but I'm still deciding on the piercing and as for tattoo's,I can't get over how it will be there forever,so I decided against one,I did buy the 'Chanel inspired' temporary tattoos from Topshop though,ha
I have been listening to Darwin Deez and The Courteeners today in preparation for Underage,actually cannot wait to see The Courteeners again,I didn't enjoy them so much at Rock City as the sound was distorted and weird,however I hope they are good at underage,wouldn't mind meeting someone at Underage,maybe Liam Fray,ha,I don't know he's a bit up himself,maybe not.
Anyway here is what I wore today before going out for a meal for Fathers day,nothing special,but I couldn't actually be bothered to put anything together this morning.

Denim dress - H&M
Cardigan - H&M (alexa has this,haha)
Two purses I have bought recently,love the tan one,it was only 2.50,trying to save my money for some new shoes I NEED for Underage!
Love xx

Hey Ladies

Despite how backwards our laws are, President Obama has declared that June is now LGBT pride month! I’ll take it.

In celebration of this glorious month I thought I’d share some of my favorite lesbian/bisexual fashion icons. It drives me crazy that lesbian style is practically synonymous with frumpiness. Not all gay women look like the Indigo Girls or Janet Reno; some of us even wear heels and dresses! However, there is no denying that there is distinctive look that has been cultivated by lesbians (and bisexuals, thank you Marlene Dietrich!) over the years. Gay women have been appropriating men’s clothing long before Annie Hall and the current “borrowed from the boys” trend. Not that I’m resentful of the BFTB thing, I love that I can find great blazers (without bust darts!) and brogues at high street stores. But I was never fully committed to that look anyway, leopard print and dresses are far too appealing. Although after looking at these photos I may have to start channeling Garbo & co. on a regular basis.

Top to bottom: Gia Carangi's Armani ad, Lissy Trullie, Jodie Foster, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Jett, Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Greta Garbo, Edwige Belmore, Freja Beja, Gia again, Radclyffe Hall, Peaches, Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Alla Nazimova, Jodie Foster, Anita Berber, Marlene Dietrich.

NOTE: I forgot to include Patricia Field and Bettina Koster! They have great style. As does Jil Sander, although she is closeted for some bizarre reason. And I also love Rachel Maddow's Buddy Holly glasses.

Oh, and Guy Trebay wrote an interesting article about lesbian fashion a few years ago, check it out here.
