HEAVY METAL GIFT GUIDE: IDEA #5
BOOK, VINYL, RECORD PLAYER (IF YOU WANT TO GO ALL OUT)…

BOOK: amazon: http://tinyurl.com/chyly49
maybeparade shop: http://tinyurl.com/c88yn9x
or Skylight Books in LA: skylightbooks.com 

VINYL RECORDS…i get mine from amazon, and usually for a good price…there were too many to list…but the ones i esp love are: METALLICA’S MASTER OF PUPPETS (duh), SCORPIONS’ LOVE AT FIRST STING (amazing) and RATT’S OUT OF THE CELLAR (an oldie but goodie)…but i’d say any Sabbath would kick ass, the Crue (of course), Maiden…your favorite. Just try to get one with amazing cover art because…it’s vinyl after all.

RECORD PLAYER: you can find them on amazon, cool shops that sell cool stuff, Urban Outfitters online has a bunch. i don’t think they make it anymore…but my brother bought me this one a few years ago…

♥ WHAM! LAST CHRISTMAS ♥ WHAM! RAP ♥ YOUNG GUNS ♥

Just thought I'd do a full-on WHAM! post instead of just keeping it to the Christmas song...talk about 80s fashion and HAIR!!! "WHAM! RAP" and "Young Guns" are pretty awesome songs. I was a wee little thing, and I used to stand in front of the TV and try to sing all the words.:P I still know them all....pretty much! I had such a crush on Andrew (the other part of Wham!...and I loved Shirley and Pepsi (the girls). And I still heart George Michael. I'm so glad he didn't die. If you only want to watch one, I'd watch Young Guns if you want to know what it felt like to be alive in the 80s. Just the beginning of the songs reminds me of my tiny little body dancing in front of the TV. :) Happy Sunday!♡

more sunday matinee ♥ friends with you

THE TEASE FOR YUMMY DRESS NEW BLOG POST...WHAT COULD THIS BE???

A QUICK NOTE: I don't know how much I'll be blogging in the next few days. So please forgive. If I have something to blog about, I will. But I have been feeling pretty tired and just wanting to be outside and wrapping books and presents or writing...(I am writing a new novel). I'll definitely wish you a Merry Christmas soon. But just don't be upset if you don't see tons of fashion on here in the next few days. Thx for reading. Love you. Have a lovely next few days with eggshnog (which I love...esp the boozy kind :) and Xmas lights and all. xxx Mandana ♡
