Wear Your Clothes Better

You got the punk attitude and you got the punk clothes. Now you have to accessorize. Accessorizing is not only for women; guys need to add some spice to their punk presence as well. Whether you are wearing a belt, suspenders, or toting a bag around, more is good.

Start out simple. Choose your favorite pair of jeans and a rockin’ shirt you feel comfortable wearing. Think of them as your canvas.

Let’s take it from the top. Is there anything that can be added to your shirt to make it more appealing? Try rips, buttons, or blood smears (a bit dramatic, but effective). You could try layering a couple of shirts on top of one another; wear a long sleeved shirt under a short sleeve shirt.

Now let’s move on to the jeans or pants. Same question- is there anything you can do to make them unique? You could put some slits in them, use patches, or French-roll them at the end (just kidding- please don’t do that).

Jewelry is always a good accessory. Try a necklace, bracelet, or watch. Get funky and try some big beads out.

I cannot say enough about socks. Socks are an integral piece of accessorizing. Striped, argyle, knee-high, etc. are all great (let’s not do white socks guys- that’s pretty boring).

Shoes are important. They let the world know what you like sinking your feet into. Whatever you like- high heels, boots, sneakers, etc. will help you display your style.

Sometimes a punk gets cold and you need an outside layer. Hoodies and jackets will keep you warm with an edge. Select a favorite or get an assortment to keep the outside world guessing.

The great thing about clothes (especially punk clothes) is that a person’s sense of style is subjective. No two people are alike. Some people may disagree with your style, but that is not your problem. Always feel confident in what you wear and rock it proudly.

Never underestimate the power of the Web or second-hand shops in attaining some cool accessories. There are always discounts going on and the thrift stores are usually mostly cheap anyway.

COME ONE! COME ALL, TO THE ROCKABILLY REVIVAL THIS WEEKEND ON LATINATION TV!
- The Sick Psychobilly Subculture Screams, “Check It Out!!!”-

NEW YORK, October 15th, 2007 – The AIM Tell-A-Vision Group announced that, in a television first, the Latino involvement in the Rockabilly revival nationwide will be celebrated on the nationally syndicated TV shows, LatiNation and American Latino TV!

LatiNation, which is seen weekly in over 90 cities nationwide, is dedicating an entire episode to the Rockabilly lifestyle, along with a dose of Psychobilly in the mix. Rockabilly revelers will get their kicks this weekend (10/20-10/21) as LatiNation goes on set with vintage and modern pin-up photographer Jorge Martín Vargas, then twists and shouts to the sounds of legendary rockabilly musician, Big Sandy. Next, LatiNation gives viewers a retro wardrobe and home makeover with the designs & decor of My Baby Jo and Spitfire Interiors. Viewers are invited to discover Los Angeles, Calif.’s oldest underground music scene with the documentary, “Rebel Beat: the Story of L.A. Rockabilly,” and lastly a dose of psychobilly sickness with Mexican punk mainstay, Calavera!

This special episode of LatiNation also features interviews and footage from the top heavyweights of the Rockabilly and Psychobilly scenes, including L.A.’s Black Cat Entertainment and Austin, Texas’s “Rockabilly Magazine,” and many more! For a short teaser of the segment on Latino Psychobilly band, Calavera go to:

LatiNation’s “companion” program American Latino TV gets into the retro-subculture theme with coverage of the sexy art of Burlesque, with noteworthy Latina performers La Cholita and Dakota (10/20-10/21). The following weekend (10/27-10/28), American Latino TV features a segment on the return of Rollerderby, a sport that is gaining popularity in cities big and small all over the U.S. thanks to fearless Latina athletes.
