tayxmusic: Halestorm The Awesome



Halestorm L-R: Arejay Hale, Josh Smith, Lizzy Hale, Joe Hottinger (or something like that)

Have you heard of Halestorm?

Loveliest question that could ever drop from anyone's lips in this dead country that doesn't give a hoot about good music.

It vexes me like, really...

Anywho, today's post focuses on Halestorm (the band of course. The front woman-Lzzy Hale- gets a post all of her own)

Their most recent album- The Strange Case Of... is super cool, super loud and super awesome. Nuff said.

Lzzy and Arejay (her brother) made the band sometime in the late '90s when Lzzy was 13 and her brother was 10. They played EVERYWHERE. If there was a gig, they took it. That tells us something people. It really does...

They've toured with some of THE hottest rock/metal acts EVER! Seether, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Evanescence, Shinedown (awesome right? Y'all probably don't even understand my lingo right now...it's cool, it's cool)

They recently won a Grammy (friggin cool!) and they still can't believe it. Click here to see what they had to say about it.

They are cool, undeniably. I hope to get the chance to interview them one day. Insane stuff...

Keep on rocking Halestorm.

Me, Myself and Fashion

As you all can see, I have changed the name of my blog to- thepurpleballet.

The inspiration came out of nowhere. I have all these ballet pictures in purple and it just struck me-like a stroke does. Only this kind was of sheer genius.

'Allo, 'Allo, readers, how're we all doin' this fine morn'? It's morn' for me over here. I'm eatin' delish toast with chocolate spread and not much dignity.

The songs that are in my head right now are:

Set Fire To The Rain- Adele

I Do Not Hook Up- Kelly Clarkson

What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)- Kelly Clarkson (I'm at a Kelly phase)

Safe and Sound- Taylor Swift

Wild Ones- Flo Rida ft. Sia

Pat of Me- Katy Perry

All these songs are my current anthems. Love 'em. I especially love Sia.

So, the talent show (in my school) just like New York Fashion Week has come and gone. The tension was high and all (you'll see the pictures soon) and the winners were well chosen. We had a fashion elite over to judge- Kiki Kamanu- lovely woman. Big fan, baby! Since I can't do much this morning, I'll just put on pics of my put-together outfits. But this is not a PERSONAL STYLE blog. It's fashion and art and music and dance. Speaking of which, I won the music comp! Yay!!!

Btw, has anyone checked out the lovely Burberry models in February Vogue and on elluk.com. They are so adorable with their freckles and stuff. In other new news, PRADA has a new phone. Cool hunh? (internally freaking out.) I'm sincerely not that big a fan (their pieces are for the older generation, not us, the cool (no offence, people!) youngsters who find a way to twist fashion into summat fun. I'm working on this scrapbook with images form my February VOGUE. So far, it's insane! I'll update y'all on the current styles in fashion later on my post in the afternoon after school (TMI?), although in my opinion, why anyone would want to spend an hour finding out trends when they can just street it a little in a few minutes confuses me...]

So, 'ere is a picture of me in my lufly attire... I'm a little on the weird side. People are always asking me why I put together weird stuff sometimes, so please have a look at what is weird in these and inform me. Thank you

This is moi, chic with skirt from Willi Smith and jacket snagged off my dear sweet auntie, a brown belt from an auntie, heels from maripe (what is that?) and orange top from H&M. The lighting's not ah-mazing, but it's chill... right?

Again, the *awesome* me! Lace shirt from ERENA collection, bought by my mother  and cutoff jeans, that I cut myself.  I got the jeans from  some girly punk store and they didn't fit properly, so...

This is all I had time for, sorry. Peace out and live right!
