Earlier in the week we trundeled ourselves to Murdoch's Ranch Supply in search of some Rosie-the-Riveter-type coveralls.We had been wanting to dress up like a Rosie for a long time and decided now was that time.
We paraded around the feed store trying on accessories and checking ourselves out before we knew we had the right ones.
We decided on these blue jumpsuits as they are lightweight, comforable and most importantly they were ripe for the pimping.
We each took our coveralls home with the promise that we'd adequately bedazzle them for our Saturday night show.
It took some doing, but we all tricked them out superstar style.
We all added patches with our new rockstar monikers. Kelley is, of course, KP (for Kelly Pants) as her fan club so aptly named her. Laurena became La La or Professor La La as one of the students in her department began calling her. Bridget (whose jumpsuit we didn't get a good picture of unfortunately) is now the Machine due to her drumming prowess. And I've adopted the stage name that I've been wanting Margaret to use, Midge.
We learned that these things are pretty much impervious to a nuclear war. Laurena bleached hers and even sanded the legs in an attempt to distress her outfit and give it more street cred. It just wasn't happening. The fabric on these things is so durable that hers looked just as it did when she pulled it off the rack ... except that it's been cut and adorned to fit our active rockstar lifestyle.
The amazing thing is that not only are they imprevious to bleach and sanding but they don't absorb smells either. So instead of smelling like a barroom floor at the end of the night, these things still smelled like new.
Needless to say, we were suitably cute and got lots of great feedback on their general hotness. The question now remains, do we wear them to our Sept. 9 show at the Larimer Lounge in Denver?
