DAUGHTERS MAKE BIG GIRLS CRY
Blood and Shutter recently brought these limited edition Daughters t-shirt designs to my attention, and they are creepy as hell. They all feature a different girl crying…tissues and all. You can purchase them on the Hydra Head online store. Their new self-titled album (which features similar art) is out today!
I often wonder how my mother would react if she saw merch items like this. I remember back a few years ago when I had this tote bag with a picture of a bloody Marilyn Monroe on it and my whole family thought it was the most gruesome thing they had ever laid eyes on. Since then, I’ve made sure to avoid wearing anything around them that might cause them to make annoying comments. Band t-shirts, shiny black leggings….I’ll even cut down on the black altogether. I don’t even own anything THAT bad…nothing all that bad at all, actually. (No unreadable logos for me, thank you). But that’s how we whiney “tribe” families tend to operate. My mom even thinks my Tom Jones tee is weird. Seriously.
Do any of you also tone down your “style” when you’re with your family?
