Because I live in England and don't go to a fictional American high school in the 1980s, I have never and will never go to a prom, so I viciously live through American 1970s-80s movies and Rookie's 'Strange Magic' installation. Above is my inspiration collected around the theme of proms and that glittery teenaged thing, u know... majorly inspired by the Virgin Suicides and Jawbreaker and you know what I'm talking about anyway (I hope).

I just haven't done a mood board sort of thing in a while and all these photos seemed to fit together- The title of this post is a lyric from a Bleached song. Forget Haim, Bleached are a super cool duo girl band from LA who make rad punkish music slightly similar to Hole and The Primitives. 
              

Best songs are: Dead in Your Head

Final Art Piece: Glitter Queen

   

These are a few of the photos I put in my sketchbook for my art final piece at the start of the month, inspired by 1970s glamour, Ziggy Stardust, Petra Collins' and Miles Aldridge's photography. My lovely friend Rachel modelled for me, and kindly let me completely improvise and do her face paint as a glittery alien queen. I used projections and coloured acetate over the lens to manipulate the colour and lighting. 

Praise the 99p store for all my sparkly props and tinsel <3 <3

Glitter and Gold

My gold streamers from my art GCSE mock came in very useful when I decorated my room this morning. The winter sunlight came in and made my blue bedroom all gold and sparkly and it felt like spring again.

I am wearing a Tracey Emin tshirt and my kilt. 

The plastic blue shrine has been mine since I was little and it contrasted prettily with the gold, as well as my nail polish. So colour co-ordinated yo x

Inspo: Rookie prom, glitter and Petra Collins
