Autumn the Strange: My Beauty Inspiration

So I was sitting here thinking about what my next post should be about and I started thinking to myself 'what inspires me?'. Well, I pull inspiration from a ton of places; music, magazines, people I know, etc. I've always been really consistent with what catches my attention. Music is a HUGE source of inspiration for me, it has the power to change my moods and I tend to let my imagination run wild when I've got something good playing in the background. But enough about that, I figured to better show a little bit about my personal style, I would share some of the lovely ladies that have had an influence on my style over the last few years....

First up, Bettie Page

That smile! That body! Them bangs! I shamelessly rocked myself a serious set of Bettie bangs for many years and I still contemplate going back to them. She's simply gorgeous.

Next up, Zooey Deschanel

So cute it hurts, and a funny gal at that. We have things in common, haha. She doesn't need much elaborating, look how cute she is!

(don't you just wanna pinch her?!)

Moving on to Amy Lee, of Evanescence

She's a force, such unique style and talent. I adore her!

Dita Von Teese!

What else is there to say about Dita except, DAMN! She's like some porcelain pinup that's engineered to perfection. Her body is out of control, and yet she always seems to carry herself with a grace that's not of this century. Bravo Ms. Von Teese *clap*

Now, Katy Perry

Whether you love her or hate her, Katy's a pretty bitch. Her hair and makeup is almost always amazing, hence how she made this list

Who loves Lucy? This girl! I love me some hilarious ladies, especially when they're redheads.

I'm sensing a pattern here...I seem to have chosen women that remind me a lot of myself. Inspiration is good, just as long as you always remain true to who you are. No matter how loud, inappropriate, neurotic, foul mouthed, drag queen stuck in a woman's body you may be. Just for fun, this is what I've done with this inspiration...
