I won't forget to put roses on your grave...

Despite the gloomy song lyrics (which are actually from one of my favourite Rolling Stones songs, 'Dead Flowers'), I thought I'd share these photos. I took them in a street close to my house where the jacaranda trees are flowering. So beautiful.



Tiger & the Rogues at the Square 15th October 2011

Well this was a special one indeed! The band was hand-picked to headline the opening night of a brand new venue in the middle of Sydney city called the Square. It's not often you play a gig in the city as there's just not that many venues unfortunately, so it was quite a thrill for us. It was a definite opportunity to dress up and dress up I did! One thing I was incredibly lucky for was the exceptional services of Culla Change. You drop your clothes off and they dye them for you! The corset and the jeans I wore that night were dyed perfectly thanks to Culla Change. Check them out!! Jacket: Mink Pink; corset: Pleasure State; jeans: vintage; heels: Aldo. Check out the band here.





Your flashbulbs snappin' my picture again...

So I was lucky enough to be interviewed by local newspaper the Mosman Daily and get my photo taken! Very exciting, my first interview with the press! The journalist, Emma Page, asked all the right questions and the photographer, Dave Swift, was fantastic (knew there was a reason I watched Top Model!). My dad was pretty chuffed that he was mentioned as my initial guitar teacher and I think I eloquently described the type of music Tiger & the Rogues play, and I quote (haha!) "Rock music is supposed to be fun...if people aren't tapping their feet to the beat, it's not worth playing". You can read the full article here. Jacket: MinkPink; polka-dot shirt: vintage; singlet: from Rippy's bar in Nashville; belt: vintage; jeans: Lee; heels: Wittner; rosary beads: made by me!



Tiger & the Rogues at the Lewisham Hotel 10th September 2011

Sorry it's been so long lovers! Very busy on this end, starting with a night of rock'n'roll at an all day festival at the Lewisham Hotel. It was an exceptionally fun night. I think what made it even better than a normal gig was the fact that the band had gone through a slight personnel change one week before the show and we still pulled it off! Very well done I think. Shirt: Lucky Brand; belt: Sportsgirl; pants: H&M (can't get enough!); cowboy boots: vintage from Route 66; necklace: vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery; nail polish: Butter London The Full Monty As always if you want to know more about the band you can check out our Facebook page right here. The last photograph is by Roy Barnes.
