White Ghost Shivers, “Mama Said” at the Parish, Austin, Texas, 2006

Last night I went to see the White Ghost Shivers at the Continental Club. I hadn’t been to a show of theirs since Halloween due to WGS being on tour in Germany and other wonderful places, but I think they play on their home turf the best! It was an excellent show with lots of dancing, confetti, Pixi Sticks flung to the crowd, Chinese fans, false moustaches, and New Orleans style gutter punk accordian band opening.
Black netting, thick gold glitter for eyeshadow and painted on lashes! It all came together when I put in the peacock feathers – before this it all looked a little too goth. I couldn’t find any Ben Nye black lipstick, so I settled for a dark dark plum from MAC called “Cyber.” I like it alright, but it’s not matte which means I end up eating it instead of wearing it. I read somewhere that a woman eats 6 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime. If this is true than my lymph nodes are colored Russian Red and Ruby Woo.
