Things have been going super well lately and I’ve been pretty glad about my life. I’m excited about this new post I’m putting together today, too, it’s called Yayo! It’s inspired by the song by Lana Del Rey, of which my gold necklace is from in the photoshoot. That’s my featured merchandise item of the blog post, that I got in like 2015 when she was on tour. I love this necklace, it’s so perfect, it’s a gold rosary heart with snakes on it. I love Lana Del Rey! She recently dropped a new album but I named it after the old song because it matched the necklace that I wore, which I’ll write more about here. The photoshoot has like 3 different parts to it, too, the first part at my mom’s, the second part in downtown Seattle with Kwame & a couple of his friends, and the third part at a KeyBank in a city nearby. I’m so glad Kwame and I finally did another photoshoot together! He’s my best friend these days and we hangout a lot, and we have been hanging out a bunch since August pretty much. It’s awesome, we go to the club most the time but I might do another post about that some other day, and yesterday we finally decided to do this photoshoot. The first shoot him and I ever did together was back in 2019 called Live Fast, which was pretty awesome. This one turned out pretty great also though, too, he even got some shots for his next music video while I was shooting too which should turn out pretty great! He’s made a music video or two of us before, I’ll mention one of those later in the post. We’ve also made music together before too which is pretty rad. I’m so glad we’re friends & finally did this photoshoot together! I’m also so glad about how this year is going so far of course too.

So the beginning to this year has been pretty awesome so far, and I’ve really loved the way everything has been going. I was surprised that everything is coming together as well as it has been, I’ve been actually pretty busy these days and everything too! That’s a cool improvement in the last couple months at least especially, I love being busy. I love getting out of the house, getting things done and doing things that make me happy all the time. I even have been really liking my blog lately, I’m totally proud of how I’ve been doing with these posts too & that I’m always keeping up with it & everything. Today’s photoshoot & blog post is featuring the first Billie Eilish shirt I ever got, a bright orange t-shirt that says ‘Too Young To Go To Jail‘ from like 2018 or so. I love this shirt, it’s a cute one, and I’m glad I finally got around to doing the photoshoot for it! I’m always trying to shoot my merch, I get around to it definitely often enough and I love to do it. It’s all on my collective merchandise blog as well, Celebrity Merch Base, so that’s pretty cool. Definitely also check out “Scary World!” from 2020 on this blog, too, the first Billie post I ever ended up doing on here. Anyway, my goal is to shoot as much of my collection (of merchandise) as I can really, I’ve been doing photoshoots like that for all of it since near beginning of my blog basically. I love merch tees & outfits so much and it’s always fun to go through them like this. The whole outfit came together really well too, with a few different things. First of all, on Sunday I changed all the jewelry in my face from silver to gold, which I thought was perfect with the orange shirt! That’s something I’m excited about, this is the first shoot I’m doing with the color change, & it’s all new jewelry. That’s something I’ve always wanted to get around to doing, and I love how it’s going so far. Second, I also got two new gold Gucci belts for Christmas so I was finally able to include another one of those in a photoshoot this time since I finally put in all the gold jewelry in! That I’m pretty excited about too. Third, I really wanted to keep doing shoots for my old Dolls Kill orders to do something cool with one of those eventually, so I finally got pictures with these cute gold flame stud earrings that I got so long ago too. And finally, from Billie Eilish’s 2021 album, Happier Than Ever, she had a song called GOLDWING on there and I thought that would be perfect with the photoshoot! I love how that worked out, that’s a cool name and song, which is also a song on my favorite concept playlist of all time Convenience Fee. That’s pretty cool since I have a category on here as well called Convenience Fee that I update all the time with a bunch of posts inspired by the songs & playlist! I love this shoot & how everything turned out, let’s get into the post.

As Crazy As It Is

This year is going really well so far, I’m really excited about everything that is happening in my life. I’m glad the first two months of this new year have been going so well, I’m really grateful for that! It’s finally the year that I’m 24 and I have some really cool things planned/coming up for the rest of the year, so we’ll see how everything goes. Today’s post is going to be really awesome, I have a pretty cool photoshoot to show you. This shoot could have a few different names, and it means something to me. First off, it’s Convenience Fee (Part Two) basically, because it relates as much to the first one I did, of course called Convenience Fee. That was the post I did the month I first ever started off my major concept playlist of the same name, and got that rolling. That’s significant to me because that’s my favorite playlist I’ve ever done of all time. I did that photoshoot & post the month before I turned 23, as well, and everything has been pretty awesome since then. A lot of why this is a spinoff of that photoshoot is because of the Part Two-like outfit similarities: the original post included a bulky silver 5-lock chain necklace that I love with all my heart, as well as a slightly oversized plain black t-shirt, compared to this sparkly pink lock necklace & long black graphic tee. That’s pretty awesome for the two looks, I love them both and I love how they go together. I was also wearing hot pink (lips) for both, including a really pretty hot pink lipstick in the last post and then a hot pink Super 8 Lip Oil by Yensa called Pink Shine for this look, which looked really good with my hot pink eyeshadow (from the Kesha Rose Beauty FTW eyeshadow palette that I got pictures of/with!) that I totally loved with the pink necklace. Hot pink & black looked really good in these two photoshoots. Definitely check out the original post if you haven’t seen that one yet, I linked it earlier in the paragraph! Anyway, I had to name this shoot As Crazy As It Is, to keep furthering my concept category/playlist photoshoot series also called Convenience Fee. There’s currently 232 songs on the playlist and it’s still such an awesome playlist, and I just loved As Crazy As It Is by Zhu as one of them. So that’s definitely a couple things about/that I could refer to this photoshoot as, I love how that turned out. Finally, one more of the things I thought of is that this could just simply be like the t-shirt, ‘The Mix’ – but it’s not. Lol, that’s what the shirt says, I totally love this shirt. It’s from a bar in Tacoma, but I’m pretty sure we found it at Goodwill and then my stepmom gave it to me. That’s all about this post so far though, I of course just named it after the song but wanted to hit upon all of the cool key points that otherwise went with this blog shoot. Let’s get into this otherwise named Convenience Fee Pt. 2 photoshoot blog post next!

Happy new year everyone, I’m finally getting around to writing this blog post! I was waiting for my two newest tattoos to heal, I got them done during the first week of January (for a Christmas present). They turned out awesome, they’re included in some of the pictures of this photoshoot. My year is going amazing so far! I’m so excited about everything and I’m happy I’m finally getting around to blogging again, after that short break. I’ll probably definitely still post twice this month though, because that would be awesome. This photoshoot I did with a sequin sparkly black dress that I have that I totally love. The photoshoot turned out pretty great! I chose bright pink lipstick to go with it, and I think this was the perfect look to finally start off my new year. Definitely check out the new tatts throughout the photoshoot! In the picture below you can see my star on the inside of my right wrist and it looks rad. I also got a heart on my left middle finger that I love with all my heart as well. They’re both pretty amazing and I loved how everything turned out for this look. Everything in my life is doing pretty good and I love where I’m at also, too. I think everything is finally getting back to a better start. I’m grateful for everything. Let’s get more into it, read more to see the rest of it too!

Hey guys, it’s finally time for this outfit I put together from one of my other birthday presents from last month. It’s totally my new gold Gucci belt that I got from my mom for my 24th birthday! I put together this cool gold outfit with it to finally do my post for it before the year is over. I included my signed Felly shirt that I got from meeting him at his concert in Seattle in February, which was so awesome! I only got two shirts from concerts this year since I have so many, but I’m glad I was finally able to get this one into this photoshoot before the year was over! This shirt is signed in (my) black Sharpie on the back of the shirt (in this white circle on the back). I also wore my big gold boots and these leather pants that I have from Nasty Gal from way back in the day, and some other merch hat as well. I loved this look, it was a pretty good one! I wear gold sometimes and it rocks, and I love how I put this look together, I think it’s perfect with all that there is there together. The makeup look was a pretty good one, too, I love how that’s turning out. I named this photoshoot after a song Felly did on his recent album, Young Fel 2, called ‘Pot of Gold’ which is on one of my playlists I haven’t mentioned much before, that I started mid last year, called Untitled. It’s a pretty good song! I of course named the blog post Gucci Gold though, which references to a Gucci post I did in 2016 that I’ll mention more later. I also wore my Gucci Guilty Eau perfume with the outfit as well as a Gucci lipstick from back in the day with this look. I love all that I have from the brand! I included 3 Gucci items total I think for this look. Definitely go ahead and read more of this under the picture. Thanks for checking me out!

It’s a new month and almost fall, and I’m doing so great! I’m always glad about the progress I make from time to time and how I go about everything as time goes on. I also really love how things turned out for this photoshoot – I decided to wear a short sleeve pink striped dress, which is this really comfy material. I love the way it looks on me, it’s a good material for how it fits me. I decided to also include a pair of really cute pink sunglasses that I got in like 2019 from Dolls Kill, they looked really good on top of my head with this dress as a hint that summer is nearly over. I love sunglasses but I haven’t really ever shot them that much before, just a different blue pair in a photoshoot in this blog post and a couple other photoshoots! I love these ones though, I always try to do shoots for as much as what I can from what I’ve gotten from Dolls Kill over the last 3 years or so. It’s, as you probably know, my favorite online store to shop at and always has been since I started ordering from there. You can check out different photoshoots I’ve done with the things I’ve bought there here, in my Dolls Kill category! I have a bunch of things from there, but only a bit of it left to get into photoshoots. I’ve made a lot of progress shooting as much of it as I could! Also, I’m really excited that this is another Convenience Fee blog post. I keep naming photoshoots after the different songs I have on the playlist, it being my favorite playlist I’ve ever had for almost a year now! This photoshoot is named after the 2015 song by Zeds Dead named You Know, which was the second ever song I put on the playlist last fall. I really love this song a lot, it’s a classic. I found it last fall as well. I might also end up seeing Zeds Dead next month with my friend in Seattle, but we’ll see if it ends up happening! That would definitely be amazing, & I think it would be perfect timing too. Let’s get into the photoshoot.

August is a good month so far, I’m glad I’ve been back hanging out with friends and things like that after all that happened last month. I’m doing pretty good, I feel like things keep getting better! I was excited to get up and do a photoshoot for this outfit this weekend, I ended up doing it with this cute white star shirt that my mom got me earlier this summer from California which she went to. I think it’s super cute and fits me well, I love stars on everything and the rhinestones they used for this shirt sure are cute. White also sometimes looks pretty good on me so I love that. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of the same stuff as I usually do, but my mood is getting kind of better as I go because things have changed. I’m focusing more on myself and have been able to do better things for myself, and I kind of represent that sometimes too with the things around me. I can’t believe that most of the summer is almost over, I love the weather as usual and everything but I also can’t wait to see what comes next as I continue throughout my life. This photoshoot is a pretty good one as well, let’s get into this one!

I was pretty excited to see Peekaboo last year in November, with G-Rex as one of the opening acts. It was a totally good show! One of the best songs from Peekaboo is from 2018 called Work of the Devil, and he’s known for similar work as that. Although, other than the duo song from him and G-Rex, I hadn’t heard that much from G-Rex yet, but I ended up totally loving his music. He’s such a great electronic artist! So I also ended up loving the red graphic tee that he had for sale at the show and ended up getting that one there. Finally, now in August I ended up doing a photoshoot with the shirt and it turned out pretty good with my bright red hair again. This will be a good blog post I think! One of my most favorite songs from G-Rex is called ‘Pull Up’, which is what I called this photoshoot, it’s a song on my all-time best playlist Convenience Fee. I love that playlist and I sometimes write posts inspired by the playlist and everything, so I have a category you can look at here called Convenience Fee with all the posts that are coordinated with it on it. I loved G-Rex’s set, too, I think he’s a pretty good one too. He even recently, at the end of last month, did a second duet with Peekaboo on his new EP called ‘Deviant’ and that’s a pretty good one too. I’m so glad I have this shirt, it’s super cool looking too! Also check out my post on my other blog, Celebrity Merch Base, for the solo collection post for this t-shirt. I love how this year has been going, as well. Read more for the rest of the post!

Everything is usually pretty good in my life, I’m pretty good with how I see things. I’m grateful for all of what I have every day and there’s always something to look forward to. Also, here and there little things end up happening that I appreciate as well, once in a while. It’s pretty refreshing and I love getting to get out of the house and do things to. I am glad that I finally got around to doing a shoot for this dress, I got it in early 2020 and it’s one of my favorite dresses I have! It’s this cool red slip dress from Dolls Kill, my favorite place to shop for clothes. I thought this dress went perfect for this photoshoot over the weekend, the dress was called Know My Worth and I thought that was a good idea for how things are going. I can get into that more a bit later, but I love the whole attitude I had with this one. I’m excited to see what I’m going to do next in life, I usually have been finding things to do as often (or more often) than usual and I’m glad about that! I went and did something every single day last week, wearing a full face of makeup and everything, so I’m pretty proud about that. Today is one of those days where I just have to sit here writing this all day, but I think it’s going to be awesome. It’s good to finally have a break day anyway, but I am going to love getting ready and going out (to a meeting) tomorrow night for sure. I’m making a lot of good progress on what I’ve been photoshooting these days too, and also I’m still going through all my lipsticks and cycling through my makeup still! I really love doing that, I incorporate the cycling into what I use for my photoshoots all the time too and I’ll talk more about that later. Also I’ve been really loving Ipsy again lately, I finally got one of my bags from last month! So I ended up including a lot of those products in this shoot’s makeup look as well. I really love how everything is shaping itself together, I think it turns out great!

I’m so excited about how this photoshoot turned out, I finally put together something good like this with my extensions in and everything. I love my red hair with all my heart, it’s been red since 2018 and I’m still not done with it! Especially since I have these red extensions I want to utilize more and more as I go. I am totally good with my hair fading to blonde sometimes, but I do love getting to re-vamp and re-dye my hair back to red sometimes. This time, I ended up using Lime Crime’s red hair dye in the color Valentine. I have dyed my hair with this one before, too, like in my other blog post Solved the Problem which is from August 2019. The color ended up matching my extensions, too, but I didn’t use them as much back then. I love my red extensions, they are TestaRossa ones from Bellami in 22″ that I got that same year, bright red. I use all of them when I use them, and it turns out super rockstar I love it. The last time I ended up using my extensions in a photoshoot was this year, in January, in my photoshoot I called Stoke the Fire. I loved that outfit and everything a lot, and I love when I get to do merch, but it was even more fun putting this ‘Hackney’ outfit together and getting it to work really well in this shoot! I love getting to do more on the glam side types of photoshoots and outfits, that’s always super cool with my ‘urban glam’ style overall. I also ended up doing a slightly longer photoshoot than usual with this one, and ended up getting like 54 pictures! So that’s pretty cool this time, let’s get into the blog post! Read more to see more of the photoshoot and all as well.
