give me one good reason

The other day, my friend and I went to one of the LGBT Pride concerts, RuPaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons. 
It. Was. Awesome. 
RuPaul's Drag Race is basically the drag queen version of America's Next Top Model. The drag queens that performed were gorgeous, talented, hilarious and super sassy. They danced, sang & lip-synched. Bianca did some stand-up and then even got people from the crowd to dance on stage. It was a pretty hilarious night.
Bianca Del Rio is the sassiest person to ever exist. Ever.

Thank you to Madison and my mom for taking these pictures for me!

i care but i don't care

Hola chicas!

The festivals have been ah may zing!
So far, I've seen:
Snarky Puppy - Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers - Earth, Wind, & Fire - Aretha Franklin - Bobby McFerrin - Danny Brown - RL Grime - Adventure Club - Journey - Zedd - Lady Gaga - Brothers Dubé - Mac DeMarco - St Vincent

St Vincent was incredible. 
She's so strange/crazy/cool/talented, I was kinda awe-struck. 
Her voice is beautiful, her guitar playing is mind-blowing and she's just such a performer, it was a great show. 
Her whole show was actually really minimalist but also very staged and yet she still had the whole audience hooked, which was definitely impressive. She had this whole persona and dance moves down including this foot shuffle that, if you couldn't see her feet, you'd think she was on a moving catwalk. 

She had a bunch of mind blowing guitar solos and, during one of them she and her band member smiled at each other because they could hear us cheering and it just warmed my heart that they were happy and adorable and awww band members <3 

During another guitar solo, security carried her back and forth along the gate so fans could touch her and then when she got back on stage she did that crazy turning on the floor while playing guitar and hitting the pedal with her heel even though she can't see it and even playing with the guitar behind her head thing. It was sick and I was impressed times infinity because wowowowow she is amazing. 

I didn't take any pictures because I just wanted to enjoy the show and soak in everything.
Check her out if you haven't already and if you have the opportunity to go see her, you reeeeeally should because it was quite a show!

These were taken at my new favourite spot; I call it the Dr Seuss place because the fake giant door, fake TV, fake windows and two chairs and the colours remind me of his stories and this place just makes me happy.

Also, yes, the purple is sadly already almost completely faded and back to blonde.

Big thank you to Madison who took these for me and encouraged me to buy the glasses.

How are your summers going? Have you been to any festivals or concerts lately?

my memento bursts in flames

Friday night, I went to a $5 benefit concert with my friends. It was in a quaint little pizza place and there were, at most, 100 people so it basically felt like a party with live music. All the money went to AIDS research so confetti was replaced by free condoms. Plus, it was hosted by Lost Dog, a label/collective/community that showcases underground artists. You can (and should!!) read more about them here. DEBT, Bobby T & The Slackers, ATM and IMD, and So Many Wizards performed and you should definitely check them out!
By the second set the crowd started really getting into it, dancing, mosh pitting and even crowd surfing(!!!). I took part in the mosh pit twice but I kind of got pushed out and walked on by all the taller sweaty people *shiver*. The concert was really loud but sososososo fun and the music was really good! Plus, the lead singer/guitarist in DEBT looked like an older version of Randall from Recess; he was even slightly dressed like him! 
The title is a lyric from BT&TS's song Enough Is Enough.
The pictures were taken by my friend Christina.
