Been doing a lot of introspection lately trying to figure out what I resonate with. Ive been having a bit of a gender + style crisis lately. I was very into dressing up and exploring all types of styles in high school, but something about college dialed that back for me. However, at college I was able to be a drag king and meet so many wonderful people. Among them was an amazing psychobilly who I always admired. We weren't close friends, but I always admired him and I think subtly emulated him at times with my drag and personal style. I got very close to a psychobilly adjacent look, and it's where I've felt the most comfortable. Coming back around after a particularly hard start to the year, I think I'm finally figuring out that this might be where I wanna be! I'm glad to have a name for it and a community! It combines so many of my loves. History, punk and goth music, classic country and blues, fashion, among other things. Without going into detail, where I'm from also greatly influences this. I've grown up seeing rockabillys around, and there used to be a great rockabilly store near where I lived when I was much younger that I loved going into. I think I'll be lucky to be getting into this where I am for the summer!

I'm excited to see where this takes me :) It feels like a good evolution of my pre-existing style, so I barely have to make a change! But the difference is knowing what I'm doing with the style, and my intentions. I'm having a great time exploring more rockabilly and psychobilly music, I'm happy! Just gotta wait for my hair to grow out so I can do a pompadour haha.
