In continuation of my FNM-inspired post below, later that night I decided to keep my alter ego alive and take her to my boyfriend's band's concert. I added a kicky beret to match my beloved Chloe boots and felt very avante garde, dangereux and French. No one really recognized me, which I got a kick out of, and I totally felt bitchier than normal. Which was a suprisingly good thing - I sneered at most men I saw, and this time it fit the character!
What was really fun to see was some people giving my bf the stink eye when I started hanging off of him. They were mighty relieved to see it was actually me, and not some random. Most of my friends didn't even make eye contact with me, they thought I was some stranger...I guess the last time most people saw me was when I looked like this:
And that night, I looked like this:
Skirt: ASOS
Hat: Forever 21
Top: Zara
Jacket: Forever 21
Cardigan: ASOS
Boots: See by Chloe

The Saint's Collapse
Rythm Guitarist aka bf
Drummer Extraordinaire aka Captain Party
Lead Guitarist aka General Pattullo
Bassist aka David Usher
Singer aka Gold Teef for Erbody
For those that were asking about the band (The Saints Collapse) last post, you can listen/buy their tunes from iTunes, CDbaby, Amazon, etc.
Stream them here first on their Myspace page.
If you're at a show, you can pick up their CD or amazing poster drawn by the talented Jesse Castillo (nee Barber). He can sing, write music and is one bad ass artist (just wait for there first video - totally animated in Flash, it will blow you away).
Or just watch them on Youtube!
Last year they did a rad cover of Dick in the Box, where the singer's brother joined him on stage for that special song. Hilarious.
Anyway, if you like them or know someone who would, show me a little love and lets spread the band around. The Vancouver music scene is notoriously difficult for live shows, especially if you are in rock, so it's hard to get the word out, unless you are totally mainstream (and suck balls, imo) like Theory of a Deadman and Nickleback (sorry Amanda, I know your cousin is in Theory of a Deadman...:P).
PS - I should mention that I went to this show instead of my TEN YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! Can't believe I have been out of high school since 1999!!!!!!!!

How hilarious that people were giving you eveils but loyal of your friends, love the beret as well, looked a great night and a great altar ego.
You look so great as a brunette! It's so funny that no-one knew who you were, but how nice to know that everyone is watching your back with your boyfriend when you aren't around!
How stylish are you girls!
Ah, the wig so suits you - I particularly like the "manning the merch table" shot, so pretty! So funny to hear about your friends' reactions too, but hey, at least you know they've got your back!
You kill me - I love the alter ego look!!! :)
I'm surprised that you look so good as a brunette -- are you a natural blond? If I'd tried to imagine it before I saw the pics I would not have thought it would suit you, but it did.
love the beret on you! you look like a little rockstar!
i'll have to check his band out, for sure.

I am now convinced you need to bob your hair and dye it black for real!
WOW you look totally different!! No wonder nobody recognized you! Lucky you for being able to pull off both extremes.

Love the dark hair wig! How fun! That's funny that ppl didn't know it was you at first.
Love the edgy feel of your new look! When I cut 10 inches off a couple years back, my friends didn't recognize me either and I didn't even dye it!

I added you to the tag list! :*
So awesome that your friends have your back, and that you got to see it first hand!! :)
Love the outfit, especially those boots!
WOW, You look AMAZING as a dark haired lady...sexy Raven!!! Love it, what a fun, great change. That's so funny about everyone giving you "the eye" hey at least you know your friends firm loyalty to you =)
It was probably only shocking cuz my bf was/is the least likely person to ever cheat, to be honest. That probably produced the stink eye, rather than loyalty to me!
Let me just say that your alter ego is pretty hot!!!
That video is pretty hilarious. :)
Wowser, I just LOVE your look with the wig and beret--perfecto! I so admire that French chic look, and you pull it off famously..and how hilarious that peeps didn't recognize you :D I really need to get me a wig now, haha.
