Momma Told Me: Self expression is art.
As far back as I can remember, well, as long as I've owned my unique sense of style, I have been enamored with fashion and style that turns heads. Whether it's a beautifully done replica of a retro styling, or a riot of color beautifully blended with the macabre. Locally we have a punk rock bowling group (that's actually a rather large subculture), which features a few teams that seamlessly blend their Latina heritage. Every tournament these gorgeous women will full or half paint their faces in stunning Sugar Skull (Dia de los Muertos) makeup. It is unsettling and captivating at the same time to see such a transformation melding sex appeal and the grim juxtaposition of death. To some this rockabilly chic, retro kitsch styling is jarring; to me, it is thrilling. I long to be the women in that face paint, I want to turn heads, cause second looks. And that is precisely what Laughing Vixen Lounge did for me with their undeniably one-of-a-kind take on accessories.
