Musical interest.

This evening I'm feeling very musically motivated. As I'm typing my Husband is sitting here playing "Duelling Banjos" after we've just had a sing off to some tunes on YouTube. I'm in no way musically talented but he sure is, you can check out his talents over on the Ten Bob Millionaires Facebook page.

Music is where everything starts for me, if I wasn't into 1950's Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly and DooWop I would never have started Pin-Up Modelling and dare say would never have modelled at all.

I feel very proud to be part of a scene that is truly passionate about what they love although I would not label myself as a Rockabilly as DooWop is my first love and music is much more than a fashion statement. I used to be what is known as a purist, even the thought of listening to Psychobilly would have made my toes curl, I can remembering telling my friends Garon and Brett repetitively that "I don't like that, it's shit!" let alone diversifying into Ska, Punk and Surf. In fact, I would never have met my Husband if it wasn't for sneaking out to a Psychobilly gig in Leicester! My Husband loves a wide genre of music and thanks to him he broadened my mind to other genres but still along the same style.

I have been brought up on 1950's music and lifestyle and I couldn't imagine living my life any other way. I don't dress vintage 24/7, far from it, I adore my onesies and slouching in my jersey and leggings and it really isn't practical for myself as I travel far too often and don't want to risk damage to certain items but I do keep the music in my heart and soul always, something that will never change. Music has made me what I am today.

Talking about DooWop have a giggle at this video from last years Rhythm Riot. I was only just saying a few hours prior how embarrassing it is to see girls up on stage, then I got picked up and put on stage with The Cleftones. I'm rather glad I did even if my face did go a brighter shade of red than my lipstick.
