Maila Nurmi A.K.A. Vampira A.K.A. The First Punk

Maila Nurmi, who also went by Vampira, shall always be remembered and celebrated as a beautiful and daring women, but I think she was so much more. Maila has been noted most for her extremely small waist, which I believe was 17", and her remarkably morbid attire. 

I believe Maila to be so much more than a tiny wasted women with long dark locks and skin tight dresses. Maila was truly the first punk rocker. 

All these photos were taken in 1950s, the 1950s I tell you! She is so punk rock it hurts. All I can do is marvel at this women who was so wildly ahead of her time. I am literally speechless so I will leave you now with more exquisite pictures of one of the most amazing women to grace this planet we call earth with her existence.

A Tasty Morsel Of Music

Justin Townes Earle

If you have not heard the name of this highly talented musician than I feel that I must urge you to listen to his work. Justin Townes Earle’s latest album is entitled Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, this record is bursting with astounding emotion that combines an old school style of blues and country. Justin Townes Earle has recaptured a time and place that the modern world seems to have left behind. In an interview with Weld for Birmingham he was asked “What is there about Southern music that needs to be preserved?” to which he gave the most suitable answer, he said “Well, I think, if you really want to get down to it, it’s all Southern music.”. Justin Townes Earle is a true artist and his, already extensive, body of work proves this. Even if your taste in music is narrow I urge you to listen to gifted musician and the beautifully fluent sounds that he creates.

Vintage Hats Are Where Its At!

I have long been bewitched by any sort of head wear and with summer approaching at a rapid speed summer hats will now once again be broken free from the top the closet and sported around with pride. With this in mind we shall now embark on a picture show of simply awe inspiring vintage hats!

Now that you have seen some fantastic hats I encourage you to begin the hunt and begin building your own collection of unique vintage head wear. With that said I myself have been shopping around and recently found two very fun hats that I will be, without a doubt, sporting this summer.

I was actually very excited about this hounds tooth floppy hat because of this picture I found from the 1960s!

 This hat was a fun find, it is a Parkhurst hat but it captures a time that past us long ago.
