The Bullet Screams To Me From Somewhere...

Is anyone else completely bored and feeling uninspired by fashion as of late? For the past couple of months fashion has left me feeling, well...a bit stale. I'd elaborate on the many reasons behind my boredom, but I don't have the time nor the energy to open this can of worms.

Anyway, while wading in the clusterfuck that is my brain, I thought I'd pop on the blog and really start to share things that consistently inspire or move me. Hence this Alice in Chains post (actually it's more like a Layne Staley tribute). After all, good music and gorgeous men never cease to inspire =)

Alice in Chains is by far my favorite group to come out of the 90s grunge scene. Yes, I like them more than Nirvana. Blasphemy? Who knows. Nirvana may have Alice beat in quantity of good songs, but no Nirvana song beats The Rooster..or Man in the Box.. or Would for that matter. Just my humble 2 cents.

Regardless of the preference, Alice In Chains has some really seductive and dark grunge tunes. There's nothing I've been enjoying more than drowning out the world and listening to "the Rooster' full blast. I've gone ahead and embedded my favorite Alice in Chains songs in this post for your auditory pleasure...

Oh and of course, I had to put up some eye candy aka the late Layne Staley.

This Thanksgiving....

Aside from the obvious family and friends, I, Robyn aka Sweet Sacrilege, am thankful for... Mickey Rourke: and to be clear, both the hot young Mickey AND old bat shit crazy Mickey. Because, really... I can't resist a chihuahua loving, champagne straight from the bottle guzzling, ex hottie like Mickey. If you haven't seen the movie Spun, then you must. If not for Mickey, then do it for the green dog named Taco.






Happy Thanksgiving all!

The Perfect Drug

Found out today, thanks to a most generous and wonderful friend, that there's a good chance I might be going to see NIN and Jane's Addiction tomorrow.

In light of such news, I wanted to share some information I gathered, from another wonderful blog, Wicked Halo.

Regardless, if you're into Nine Inch Nails or not, it is my opinion that the music video for Closer is relevant in fashion now. This video was definatley been an inspiration for me when I was in my teen years. Besides, Trent Reznor is HOT. That being said....

This video gives some great insight into the art that inspired the Closer music video. It's about a half hour long but worth the time (nothing like Making of the Video a la MTV).

Wicked Halo goes into more depth about the video, and includes a lot of visuals such as these. Please check out the blog. It's extremely good!

Fucking Ernte

Ernte has been a label I've been kinda-sorta following since 2003. And after finally seeing it in person for the first time, I'm going to go ahead and say its possibly the best brand to ever exist. It's look is always consistant. It's edgy, dark, loud and glamourous. It fucking kills (it even says so on it's label).
