BABY, IT’S COOL OUTSIDE

It seems that the inevitable has occured (at least in New York anyway): Summer is OVER. Unlike my counterpart- who might just hate sweating more than she hates Anette Olzon- I’m a little sad that summer was so lame. Not only did the weather suck, but there weren’t as many good shows as usual. WTF.

HOWEVER, besides the colder weather, fall IS my favorite time of the year! I love the changing of the leaves, watchin’ football and drinkin’ beer, FALL FASHION aka BOOT season (GET IT), and my birthday is near! But there’s just one thing I’m missing, and I feel like lesser of a metalhead for this faux pas: My search is ON for a legit, badass LEATHER JACKET. Let’s observe:

EXHIBIT A:

EXHIBIT B:

EPIC FAIL:

Someone hook a girl up and let me know where to find the perfect leather jacket. What YOUR metal fashion staple?

I still exist!

Holy crap. Like Elise said, my life has become crazy in the last week and I haven’t been able to post hardly at all. But hey, I have time now, so let me update you with a couple of highlights from the week:

-I’m now working in the fashion district of NYC, and according I see a lot of interesting characters around 7th Ave. But the most interesting at all. A completely legit metal granny. All leather (skin and clothing) no lace, Lamb of God t-shirt, black eye makeup, and a badass attitude. I was a heartbeat away from stopping her and giving her a hug.

-Earlier in the week, Southern NY had a bout of bad weather. Thunder and lightning, very very frightening. I finally got to my car at the park and ride and decided to listen to Dio; some “Rainbow in the Dark”. As soon as that little man sang “When there’s LIGHTNING”, BAM!!! There was lightning, right on cue, perfectly lighting the drive home. I also passed a turkey this morning on the drive to the park and ride. I’ll let you decide on the better story there.

-One of my coworkers is from Europe, but I wasn’t sure where. The more I listen to her talk, the more she sounds like Anette Olzon. I have to listen to Top 40 bullshit all day long, so that’s the most metal I get at work. That, and using the clothing tag gun.

-Lastly, I was talking to another coworker of mine today and mentioned that I was going to a show this weekend. She asked me who, so naturally I told her, and her response was “You lost me at the first one. Sounds interesting though.”

Anyway, now that it’s the weekend, I’ve got some stuff up my sleeve. And we’ve got some goodies in the works. PLUS, soon both Elise AND me will be in New York, NY together together and you know what that means

-Julia

Tarja Turunen, the Finnish singer best known for getting the boot from her band, Nightwish, for acting too ‘big time,’ played a show last night here in New York with her new back-up band.  She is currently touring the states in support of the re-release of her solo album, My Winter Storm.  Based on the video above, it appears that she still performs Nightwish songs live.

Anyway, onto the real reason I wanted to post this…..Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sound like a hater or anything.  Tarja sings like an angel and her body is SLAMMIN’ but……doesn’t she kinda look like she fucking REEKS?  I mean….she doesn’t appear particularly dirty or anything, and the armpits are shaven, but I somehow doubt that she’s left room in the band budget for Lady Speed Stick.  I get a vibe.  Is it just me?  If you or anyone you know has ever caught a whiff of her, please pass along the information.  I need to know.

Post-Tarja Nightwish just so happens to be playing in New York this Saturday, just three days later.  What a coinkydink.  For the record, Anette doesn’t really strike me as fresh & clean kinda gal either.
