JANIS JOPLIN: "DON'T COMPROMISE YOURSELF. YOU ARE ALL YOU'VE GOT"











I'm dedicating this post to one of the greatest musicians who ever lived on this planet - I'm obviously referring to the one and only Janis Joplin. In her relatively short life she didn't "just" share her amazing, hoarse and very recognizable voice with us, she also left us with the perception of a completely, absolutely and undoubtingly cool person with a style to match.
Here I give you my absolute biggest source of inspiration ever. She reminds me that getting dressed is supposed to be fun, and if it's not - you're taking something way to fucking serious. A pure genius she is.

Click here to see Janis perform "Try" at the legendary Woodstock festival in 69. Go on, you won't regret it. 

And may I just say, that if I receive as much as ONE comment saying something in the direction of "cool style, follow my blog" I will personally make sure that you will regret it bitterly.

  3. Hey hey, cool blog! Follow me :P hahaha no, no, I'm joking!!!!!!
    I've just started reading your blog. So far I like it. I've been watching you for some time :P on lookbook and chicktopia. I'm not a stalker I just like the way you dress... :P Thanks to you I even ordered few colours of round sunglassses, what I've been planning to do for a while. I hope I will look in them as nice as you do and that I will skillfully incorporate them into my style :)
    I totally agree with your statement that getting dressed is suppose to be fun :D

    So, let's have fun... :D

  4. Haha! I soo know what you mean, I grew tired of these sorts of comments and nearly got rid of the comments tab. This post is just what I needed, I was feeling blue and came here for inspiration and found these pictures! Are you a mind-reader? I truly think you channel Ms Joplin so much that you really look like her (you know I am not just saying this because I told you this before) Have a great Day Ulrikke and thank you for cheering me up :D
