We Met Peter Murphy!

In the dressed for Peter Murphy blog I talked about what we wore to the Peter Murphy Mr. Moonlight tour : Celebrating 35 years of Bauhaus, but now I need to talk about getting to meet Peter Murphy.

First I just have to talk about the show. I love Bauhaus, not because they are a quintessential "goth band", because of what their music portrays and their raw energy and sound that influenced so many others. I never got the chance to see Bauhaus together on their reunion tours, but I have seen Peter Murphy perform several times and this last time did not disappoint me at all.

I stood with goosebumps as he appeared on stage to "King Volcano" that went right into "Kingdom's Coming", which very much surprised and delighted myself, Derek and the whole audience! Though the whole set was amazing, the highlights for me were, "God is in the Alcove", "Silent Hedges", "Kick In the Eye", "She's In Parties", "Severance" (Dead Can Dance cover!). Then the first encore was finished with "Hollow Hills" and the second encore was a surprise, "Transmission"! (Joy Division cover) and "Ziggy Stardust" (Bowie cover). Here is the whole setlist. It was all amazing, truly.

Then there was the meet and greet after the show.....

I would like to point out my eyes in this photo, little hearts should be forming and popping

over my head. Le sigh.

We lined up to the short line of guests to get to chat with Peter, get an autograph and photo, Derek and I were so incredibly nervous! I usually don't put people in bands and/or singers on "rock star" status, but I was about to meet an icon of mine! 

As we stepped up Peter greeted us both warmly and shook our hands, he has a lovely voice and smile. As he was shaking my hand he told me I was "lovely", which of course made my millennium, he then complimented Derek on his outfit. I finally got to tell him what I always say about Peter's singing. I said, "I always say no one can 'woo woo' like Peter can". Peter said, "Woo woo? Oh I got it like this....." Then he looked into my eyes and woo woo'ed at me. UNLOCK FAN GIRL DREAM. I know some other things were said, but I floated away on the cloud. By the way, he has beautiful blue/grey eyes.

Name spelled wrong, but he can call me whatever he'd like.

So, I met Peter Murphy. Now if I only met Robert Smith, I wouldn't be as cool, calm and collected, I would probably just die on the floor right there. I know....that would be so goth. (hehe!)

Have you ever met one on your icons?

Outfit of the Day : Layering Lace and Bats

What I wore:

-Grey Bat Attack Dress by Sourpuss (also seen here)

-Black lace top layered over dress-Forever 21

-Cross Belt-Forever 21

-Doc Martens-ebay

I've been inspired by dressing the mannequins at work, so I decided to give it a try on me! Layering tops over dresses to give a totally different look, I dig it. I've already started thinking about what else I can layer, muahahahaaa!

How do you like to layer?

Shoes! OMG! : Dr. Martens Battersea Sneaker Boot

The idea of a Dr. Martens 14-eye sneaker boot intrigues me. I have to say I love the look of these canvas shoes as it gives the look of wearing combat boots, but they seem to be lighter and more flexible to wear for the warmer months. I enjoy wearing my summer dresses with my Docs, but they can get hot and heavy, perhaps the Battersea's are a nice alternative!

Thank you for reading!

Until next Shoes! OMG!

New Cameo Sweater For Grey Days

Cameo sweater by Cartel Ink

When I got this sweater from work last week, I didn't think I was going to be able to wear it so soon! Our weather turned very rainy and cold, so I was able to happily wear my new sweater on Sunday. 

Hey wrinkles, where did you come from?

Since it was such a grey day, my attire seemed to match the mood, so this is what I threw on; grey dress from Target paired with grey textured leggings from Charlotte Russe, pointy buckle boots, and a spider web bandana. 

In some non-fashion related life stuff, I tried to shut our bathroom window the other day and ripped down part of the window sill. Meagan smash! Our apartment building was built in the 1920s, so things falling apart are prone to happen, especially when they are the original parts. Next thing, under our sink sprang a leak from the wall (can't use the sink) AND part of our kitchen floor is coming up-all of this not related to each other. Luckily the property maintenance is amazing around here, so we'll be getting all fixed up today. I need to find a place to hide as our our apartment is not that big, hehehe! 

I hope everyone has had a non-destructive beginning of their week!
