Glam*rock





When I was in high school I went through my "I need to be a rock star" stage. I thought about it all the time. I learned to play guitar and I added studs to my already hole-infested boy shorts that I purchased from Savers. I looked up to women like Shirley Manson and Courtney Love but Gwen Stefani has always been my go-to girl. Her bleached blonde hair, crimson lips and glam-rock style has been my biggest fashion inspiration. 

I used to learn how to play old-school No Doubt songs on my guitar like, Sailin' On and pretend that I was her by doing this weird quiver thing with my voice that in reality, only she can pull off. Her voice was so unique and everything about her just rocked. Anyways-- back to my point. Her original style has always been an inspiration to me. I love how she sticks to her signature look that combines rock-n-roll and Jamaican Rastas. Here is a little tribute to Gwen.
