What I Wore Wednesday: Drag Super Star

So here's the thing. I love drag queens. LOVE drag queens. I actually wish I could be a drag queen (anyone out there want to be drag mama to a faux queen?) ala the movie Connie and Carla minus the whole running away from murders bit and a bit more fierce. That being said I've never been to a drag show in Glasgow; I'm not sure how I saw that Raja, the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, was coming to Glasgow but oh honey the second I found out I KNEW I was going and somehow I luckily convinced Steph to go with me.

We decided to go ALL out and splashed out on the VIP tickets so we would also get to meet Raja and get our photo taken with her plus a champagne reception. I say splash out but seriously y'all it was less than a single concert ticket costs these days so it was actually a bargain!

I'd never been to the club the show was in before but friends told me it was an anything goes, OTT type place so in my mind that meant glitter and sequins needed to be on the agenda. I also took it as an excuse to break out all my make-up and hair styling tools that I don't normally have occasion to use.

You know I had to break out the cat ears Liz got me again; I honestly need more events in my life where I can wear headpieces! I didn't realize until afterwards but I wore the same outfit I wore when I went out for Julie's 30th earlier this year!

I bought hair chalk last year in Ohio and this is the fist time I've gone out with it. I'm kinda in love with my candy-coloured my little pony hair. As much as I love skulls and spikes I also love pink and purple so it was such fun to have a trial with dip-dye hair. Now I have to decide if I could take the plunge to have it full time.

Raja's performance was just amazing and it was so great to see her and get the chance to briefly meet her. It was also just fun to get out and do something I've not done in a long time, too. Could I come home at 4am every weekend? Oh hell no but once in a while for a special event I think I can handle it.

What's your favourite OTT fashion trend?

What I Wore Wednesday: Outfit Remix

What a difference a week makes! The bug has been banished from our house (fingers crossed) and things are headed back to normal. Most importantly my hair is less horrible as I got my hair did on Valentine's Day! My hairdresser gave me a hard time as it's been over 4 months since I last saw her and my hair was unintentionally ombre or if you want to be mean about it my roots were wicked awful. I just got more highlights, a few inches off and some long layers but I think it's made a big difference and my hair looks a lot thicker and healthier.

NotBlondeHusband had to work Valentine's Day night so I didn't get to flick my new locks about then but we did have a belated Valentine's Day dinner out on Saturday. While I'm feeling much better about my hair I'm still feeling a bit meh about my body if I'm honest. I had one of those "I have nothing to wear" moments even though I have two dressers, a closet and several suitcases full of clothes---we've all been there right?

We were short on time so I didn't get to hum and haw about what to wear so I went with the first thing I tried on which was a re-mix of a few outfits I've worn recently:

Old Navy The Flirt Skinny Jeans
Black Folded Chain Trimmed Ankle Boots-New Look

Spike Cluster Earrings-New Look

So you can see my hair is still long but not too scraggly! I also got a gel manicure almost two weeks ago with a black polish and silver glitter overlay. I am loving it and it hasn't chipped at all yet which for me is great value for money.

I've been in a bit of funk lately--I don't know if it is everyone planning summer holidays (we still don't have our passports back from the UKBA so we can't travel abroad) or that I've put back on the weight I lost last fall but I'm just meh. I normally find that getting my nails and hair done help me feel a bit more like me again but I still haven't quite shaken it. What do you do when you are feeling a bit blah about yourself?

What I Wore Wednesday: Asymmetric Studs, Spikes & Leopard

This Friday was my friend Julie's 30th birthday! Julie, who I went to see Guns N Roses with this summer, and I met when we were both waitresses at a now defunct restaurant and bar called Frankenstein's in Glasgow. It was a bit of a random place and we seriously had a GIANT Frankie monster that came out of the ceiling and sat up when we hit a button---I shit you not. Despite being random it was a fun place to work. I'm so glad Julie and I reconnected through Facebook and was super excited to help her celebrate her 30th!

We ended up at McPhabb's for £10 Prosecco (who could say no?) and some birthday shots! I honestly could not tell you the last time I had a shot so I stuck to one; I used to be the shot queen but not so much! We had a really lovely time chatting and Julie got a wee birthday cupcake from the staff, too!

I met up with NotBlondeHusband when he finished work instead of moving on to the next club so we could pick up Blondie Boy from my friend Jef's and head home. Even though it was a low key it was a great night and a psychic has told Julie she has to go to Amsterdam this year so we'll be looking for cheap flights to celebrate again!

I randomly went into River Island to shop for something to wear; it isn't somewhere I'd shopped before but they had a massive sale sign up and I figured what the heck. I ended up with this asymmetric black studded top with a external zipper back; it is actually meant to be quite baggy, but it is a size UK 8 which is a size I never even wore at my skinniest. I think it looks way cute fitted though so works for me AND it was only £10!

That is literally the best picture I have of my outfit. Yikes. You can't even tell I'm wearing my Booty Up HYH Pants (which I forgot how much I love) or anything else for that matter! So I've made a Polyvore again to hopefully show in a smidge more detail what I wore since somehow there is a halo in my photo. Is it a halo or a ghost or an aura? I have no idea but it's annoying. I was once told I had a yellow-white aura (so I could be a natural witch if I wanted to be) so maybe it is the latter. Anyway as always I digress!

Have you been shopping the sales? 

Have you ever bought clothes that weren't actually your size but made them work anyway?
