Movie Review: Dig!

On a Tumblr recommendation from Kaye, I watched the Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols documentary Dig!, detailing the friendship, rivalry and fallout of the two bands. I have been a massive Dandy Warhols fan since high school so I jumped at the chance to watch a film about them but ended up getting totally sucked into the dark world of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Anton Newcombe of the BJM is a totally fucked-up weirdo who writes really good music and also dresses like a prophet.

Joel Gion is a hilarious man whose collection of bizarre sunglasses I totally envy.

Jeff Davies wears rad barrettes and I'm totally jealous of his hair.

...and of course, I would never leave out the magnificent Dandy Warhols!!

 Zia McCabe is my spirit animal

 Kelley Deal from the Breeders makes a cameo appearance!!

Dude, can I have that shirt??

Damn good stuff. Off to listen to Give It Back and Thank God for Mental Illness, over and out.

I’ve been in a real style rut these days, not wanting to blog or anything. I can’t afford to buy new clothes, and not that money = style by any means, I just haven’t come up with NEW, FASCINATING outfit ideas in a while.

My feet got really torn up and blistered over the weekend, so all I can wear on my feet are Birkenstocks. I got my first and only pair of Birkenstocks four years ago and they're the only pair of sandals I own. But its not so bad because Birkenstocks are hip now! The proof is in the pudding. Just look at this goddess woman, giving you an icy staredown for ever having thought orthopedic sandals were uncool. Yeah, that's right.

If you are feeling financial strain at the moment, visit ellos where you can buy now and pay installments, ellos has a huge collection of women and mens fashion all at very good prices.

Pride Toronto 2011

 To all my LGBTTIQQ2SA readers;
1. I love, love you
2. Damn you know how to throw a party!

For those in the know, last week was Pride week and Sunday marked the Annual Pride Parade in Toronto which is a huge attraction to the city. The almost certainly homophobic Mayor of Toronto Rob Ford was not in attendance, but I most certainly was, marching in the parade and pumping up the crowds with the University of Waterloo contingent. It was a surreal people-watching experience, the crowds were massive and I haven't seen that many people gathered in one place since I saw an American college football game. Overall, there was such an atmosphere of acceptance, self-love and general positive vibes that it more than sucks to recognize that there are folks who still suffer as victims of hate crimes just because of their sexuality. One might criticize Pride for its mainstream co-optation of underground gay culture, but all in all I was just happy to be there.

 Massive crowds

Where is Rob Ford?

Courtney Love in The People vs Larry Flynt

My boyfriend gave me a copy of The People vs. Larry Flynt to watch about a month ago because he knows I'm a Courtney fan, and I took about a trillion screencaps of all her amazing stripper-esque outfits. It's awesome how Courtney's character Althea morphs from a stripper with a heart of gold to a bondage fetish dope junkie who looks like she belongs on VampireFreaks.com throughout the course of the movie.For your viewing pleasure:
