Put on a Chic face

When I decided to do blogmas, I knew I was going to struggle with the random posts. I didn't want them to just be about books or music, because that could be boring. But the truth is that those are the two things that keep me sane, so it makes sense that I talk about them a lot. I also told myself: Ana, do not write 20 posts about A7X! Stop annoying everyone! And I only wrote 2 about them in a whole month, so don't bite me ;) It can't be denied that it is a band that has changed many things in my life, and one of those things is my favourite song. It used to be "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse, but now it isn't anymore.  The one that becomes your favourite isn't always the one that catches your attention immediately, and this example proves it. While I was listening to the entire A7X catalogue, "Afterlife" didn't speak to me that much the first couple of times that I listened to it.  However, since I'm a music freak, just listen...

Oh, to be a metalhead and a woman! What an experience! It isn't a problem when it comes to other metalheads (most of the time), but the rest of the world seems to have a problem with women (specially ones that look a certain way) that like metal and don't hide it. The "you don't look like someone who listens to that kind of music" is the biggest piece of bullshit ever invented. How am I supposed to look? Anyway, the whole wearing band t-shirts because "it's cool" hasn't been of much help. It's hard to know whether someone wears an Iron Maiden tee because they think that "Wasted Years" is a masterpiece or because "it's cool". I personally only wear t-shirts from bands I love. The rest of the world can do as they please. Not my problem. I currently have 5 tees, because I'm quite picky when it comes to buying them. I have to like the design on it. So I'm slowly but surely building my collection.  I...

Back in my early 20's, I was quite into punk rock and indie music. I was always more into metal, but I listened to bands like Good Charlotte or Arctic Monkeys often.  "The River" was always my favourite GC song, and now I know why!! A couple of weeks ago, youtube recommended me this song's video and as I was going to click on it I saw the full title and literally freaked out. I never knew it was Matt who sang in this song. And Syn being on it as well explains why I loved the guitars on this song so much. My favourite instrument has always been the drums, which explains why I love metal so much. But when it comes to A7X, I'm all about that guitar! As a matter of fact, Mr Gates has kind of ruined music for me, because now I hear other guitar solos and think: it's really good, but...it's not him! My brain has always been able to separate the drums from the rest of the song, and now it's doing that when I listen to The River. Though now it...

I was looking at the blog's schedule, and I realized there was nothing planned for today. And then I thought about writing about this editorial, or this cover, or this campaign...but I didn't really want to do that for some reason. That's when I thought that I never really tell you about the things that I like (that aren't fashion related). I only do that kind of post at the end of the year, but I can also tell you from time to time about those things that have me obsessed. Estaba mirando el calendario del blog y me di cuenta que no tenía nada planeado para hoy. Y pensé que podía hablar de ese editorial que me gustó, o de una portada o una campaña...pero no me apetece hacer eso.  Y ahí fue cuando me di cuenta que nunca os cuento nada sobre las cosas que me gustan (y que no tienen que ver con la moda). Solo lo hago una vez a final de año, pero también os puedo decir de vez en cuando que me obsesiona en ese momento.   -Music: Despite having quite an ecl...
