Yep, you got it. Same Topshop Jeans again. And the new Sweater I bought for fall, with the matching lipstick. Currently I only tried it of for the picture, Iā€™m not sure about wearing it outside yet. It shows a little bit to much in my opinion.

Cool guitars, and I also compliment your taste in horror movies. Of all horror villains, Michael Meyers is still the best. Why? Because he never runs after his victims. He walks. Iā€™d bet heā€™s thinking ā€œYeahā€¦run if youā€™d like. You will only die tired.ā€

As the saying goes ā€œhunger is the best sauceā€.

Funny how being deprived of what we once considered commonplace can make things special, once again.

Glad you enjoyed this.

Thanks Yoda.
The acoustic gets the most playtime, since most of what I do is just playing/singing covers, and I donā€™t have to set up the amp etc. Just put it on and play.

The telecaster (right) is my ā€œgoodā€ guitar. First time I went out and really splurged on one. Sheā€™s a beauty and so versatile.

The one on the left is my weirdo. Itā€™s Danelectro, who were more known for their guitars in the 60s. They got purchased sometime in the 90s and new ones started coming out, including this one, which I believe is from 2000. I found it tucked away in the basement at my friendsā€™ house about 10 years ago, offered to sell it to me for $50 (needed some work, but really barely any) which I jumped all over. I love the shape, the acrylic coat actually has silver glitter specs in it which you canā€™t see in the photo. Super tacky and I love it. It also has 4 effects BUILT IN to the guitar, which is pretty wild. Overall it has itā€™s limits, but I love using it. Biggest drawback is that itā€™s HEAVY. Probably the heaviest guitar Iā€™ve ever come across, so itā€™s good for a few songs before it starts to really dig into the shoulder.

As far as Michael Meyers is concerned ā€“ I agree! Jason Vorhees has the same kinda feel ā€“ the slow, ā€œlooming figureā€ thing going onā€¦but Jason also regularly shows that heā€™s not terribly bright. Michael was evil incarnate.

Speaking of MM ā€“

Iā€™m a huge fan of that ā€œsurf soundā€ from that era. Dick Dale, the Ventures, the Tornadosā€¦

It wouldnā€™t surprise me if they, or similar artists, used Danelectro at one point or another. Their guitars are very much that style, especially from an aesthetic perspective and the tone is well-suited for that genre. If you google image Danelectro, thereā€™s tons in that 1950s/1960s mid-century style. Theyā€™re really cool guitars, certainly unique. They even had an electric guitar/sitar combo that they were producing at one point.

To you both, Iā€™m an absolutely HUGE horror film fan (my brother use to film home made horror movies with a 8 mm camera back in the 70ā€™s and 80ā€™s mostly, then ā€œgraduatedā€ to Super 8 in the 90ā€™s, was in some and helped out a ton and he collected Fangoria magazines, Dawn of the Dead being a huge stapleā€¦ I saw it in the theatre when I was 4ā€¦) and I wholeheartedly agree Michael Myers is by far and hands down the BEST horror villain out there.

Sunday morning vibes. The husband is out getting oil changes in the vehicles. He is officially ONE WEEK sober today. One year ago I started this journey during quarantine because I was afraid of my mental health taking a major hit. I love that I made the change when I did. BUT watching my husband take such a hard hit through all of this has been heart breaking. I continued to lead by example and so glad I did. Life is starting to feel the way it should feel.
