The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger was formed in 2008 by John Lennon's son Sean Lennon and his girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Their latest album "La Carotte Bleue" (the blue carrot :P) is not only on CD, but on vinyl as well.Their genre is officially "folk rock" and they do their genre justice.The new album and previous songs are as whimsical as The Beatles' (especially with their Sargent Peppers album) music but do add a strong guitar riff in now and then. 

Interestingly enough, the real star in this duo is not Sean Lennon but Muhl. Muhl has such a sweet "echoey" voice that sounds like a soft whisper amplified. Muhl is also model and has posed for different brands such as Maybelline. Her model look therefore makes even the most ridiculous of outfits look amazing! 

But with their unique style and music combined, they are incredibly interesting to hear and watch making perfectly interesting performers. And while they both have an un-orthodox sense of fashion, one thing I noticed about the both of them is that they love hats.

Rodarte Likes Art

Starry Night, 1889 by Vincent Van Gogh

If I had to choose a designer brand that I love and admire the most it would hands down be Rodarte. Those Mulleavy sisters never disappoint. Their just released Spring 2011 collection was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and was both refreshing and fun. It consists of sunflower patterns in petal-like cut dresses and various kinetic textures .

When Ke$ha Comes to Town

 

Ke$ha along with LMFAO played at the UC Davis campus today on their "Get Sleazy" tour. As I walked around Davis this afternoon I was reminded of her presence when I saw many girls wearing outfits and makeup inspired by the artist. It was then I realized in order to "be like Kesha" all you have to do is wear:
1. glitter
2. short jean shorts
3. something animal print or something Native American inspired
4. have at least one of your items looked ripped/dirty
....and Presto! You are a bona fide Ke$ha look a-like.

Hello World, I'm Your Wide Eyed Girl

Hello! My name is Bridgett Rex. This is my new blog titled The Sun Queen. The title is inspired by the famous French ruler King Louis XIV (a.k.a The Sun King) was known for being a spectacle. He is particularly known for his patronage of the arts and I find him such a funny, interesting character.

This blog will cover anything that I find particularly inspiring that crosses my path on the internet or on foot. I will remain the forever tourist wandering with eyes wide open and imagination running wild. No matter how long you have been in a place, there is always a new way of looking at it.

P.S. Everything can be viewed as a form of ever changing art.
 most dearly and sincerely,
