Prince of Rags








In my mind, there is no one greater than Keith Richards.
I think that is self evident in the preceding posts.
But in my mind he is also one of the greatest style icons for rock and roll.
There is something about his disheveled appearance that
draws you in.
I'm a fan of his scarves, hats and hair accessories in older age.
I especially enjoy that Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow was based off Keith's looks and attitude.
I also severely enjoy his flamboyant side in his early years
like the giant afghan coat and purple velvet pants.
But nothing is more iconic than the Keith and Anita couple
who would wear each others clothes interchangeably.
Long Live Keith

Blonde Bombshell










I am so attracted to the blonde bombshell.

The femme fatale

First Kate Moss, then Anita Pallenberg.

Now it's Bridget Bardot.

The ultimate blonde beauty.

Femme Fetale




"You're written in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true
Cause everybody knows
She's a femme fatale"


Beauty and the Beast








Beautiful Brian Jones.
The most beautiful Stone.
The most talented Stone,
until his fatal flaw took him over.
The first to have Anita Pallenberg
on his arm.
A true Rock God and dandy.

Style and Inspiration








When I think about Style Icons only a few ladies come to mind:
Kate Moss-her coked out eyes and leopard print coats.
Mary Kate Olson- the bag lady look.
Krystal Simpson- rock and roll 70's inspiration. We are soul mates.
Edie Sedgwick- Again the factory girl look, twiggy eyes, silver and gold, stripes and
leopard print, damaged goods.
Anita Pallenberg- I don't know a lot about her yet but
she is fab. in her fur coats and in Performance.
Penny Lane in Almost Famous- Everything about her.
Pamela Debarres- the flowers in her hair, eternal flower child in lace
Suzanna from Spanish Moss- gothic type of vintage with a Californian charm.
and maybe a little of Lindsay Lohan. Again, I love the trashy coke head look.

But most of the style and inspiration comes from men.
A big part of what I like could be described as Keith Richards meets the Cobra Snake.
Steven Hyde from that 70's Show meets Oscar Wilde.
Gram Parsons meets Julian Casablancas.
Robert Plant meet Steve Aoki.
David Bowie and Iggy Pop.

I love the look of the dandy. The suave man in velvet with long brown hair and pouty big lips- like Mick Jagger or Julian Casablancas.
I love the glam and mystery of Bowie. All the colours and costumes.
I love the country times of Gram Parsons. Nudie suits and navaho patterns. The Southern Californian dream.
I love the pure pleasure of Robert Plant. Flowing shirt busting open to a bare chest.
Oh my, so much inspiration.
