Inspiration \\\ La Roux's Elly Jackson


La Roux is a British electropop synth duo band made up of singer Eleanor "Elly" Jackson, and synth player, co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid.
Their music is influenced by 1980s synthpop including Yazoo, The Human League, Heaven 17 and Blancmange.
article.
The origin or meaning of the band's name is unclear – roux is the French male form of "redhead" or "red stuff", while la is the French female.
Elly Jackson cites David Bowie, Annie Lennox and the 80s film star Molly Ringwald as her influences. She wears vintage tailored jackets and winklepickers, topped off by a chopped bob of red hair.


In some interview they asked: How much hair product do you think you use a month to get hair as awesome as yours? Oh, wow, I don’t know. In a month, usually one can of mousse, intense mousse. You don’t need much wax but there’s that, and also very strong hairspray.

Inspiration \\\ Karen O




Orzolek (born November 22, 1978), better known by her stage name Karen O, is the vocalist for the New York band Yeah Yeah Yeahs.


She has been noted for her sense of fashion, wearing ostentatious outfits made by her friend, fashion designer Christian Joy.



She won Spin Magazine's Sex Goddess Award in both 2004 and 2005. In 2006 she was named one of rock's hottest women by Blender. In 2007 Karen placed #3 on Spinner.com's Women Who Rock Right Now and shes still does haha ;)



I saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs recently, it was absolutely pissing rain and she was looking so cute wearing a poncho and a handkerchief in her head. After ten minutes wearing that she thew it away and started dancing all over the stage. I was soaked in water...but i really enjoyed that.



I love her voice and her style




Lets get started

October, sunny day in Dublin (not very common to be fair). I was thinkin of someting interesting to write but i forgot...
