Dance Hall Drug

27 July 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

parties

Besides the fact that I would love to have this sign lighting up in my basement (I am quite the sucker for beautiful typography and pretty lights), I am in dire need of a party. One complete with a darkened room, strobe lights, and a sick DJ with an amazing hip-hop playlist. It feels incredibly weird to have not danced since the end of June when dance team’s season ended and the last semester of classes were finished – every time I hear something good on the radio I have this insuppressible urge to simply dance. And it doesn’t help that  my favorite heels are begging to be worn and danced in until my feet can barely move. They are feeling rather neglected at the moment.

I just need to dance my heart out.

And nothing fills a party void better than select photography from le Cobrasnake that are sans the drunken stupor and trashiness. My favorites over the past year:

Cobra Snake No Sleep Only Party

Cobrasnake 2

Cobrasnake - Don't Cry

cobrasnake - stockholm

Cobrasnake; Moschino

Cobrasnake 2.1

L o v i n g : the 1st girl’s hair colour ♥ bright red lips ♥ cropped leather jackets ♥ boyfriend blazers ♥ bodycon dresses ♥ the blonde’s outfit: the color the dress, the print, and those utility boots! ♥ sequined minis ♥ semi-sheer feminine blouses ♥ long, wavy, mermaid-like hair ♥ fringed 1920s minis ♥ that Moschino belt

bisous,

La C.

    I do love the photo of the first girl you’ve included – her haircut is fabulous, and I love how the red lights in the background match her lips!

    Ohh I love this post darlin! I often find myself at the cobrasnake when I need a little party to live vicariously through myself! I absolutely adore the first picture…the bangs plus the red lip! HOT. Oh and I would so hang that sign in my house in a heartbeat! I hope you are having a great Sunday and an even better week ahead! XOXO Liz

    This is the kind of idiot I am: at first I thought the sign said “We Love Panties”. Yup, that’s just how I roll.
    I like the first girl the best; her hair, her eyes, and that lip color.

    I know the feeling… but I suggest downloading Welcome To The Dollhouse: The Mixtape by DJ Lissa Monet. I’ve never danced so much in my life! She’s an incredible DJ (Female at that so POW!)

    Here’s the link: http://lissamonet.com/blog/2008/12/download-now-welcome-to-the-dollhouse-mixtape/

    Shimmy and shake it responsibly 😉

    P.S. check out her other mixtapes too, xxo

    I love the photos from Cobrasnake! They always put me in a good mood! Here’s my entry:

    It was a crazy day at work! I’ve had a long day and I couldn’t wait to go home and relax. So I walked back slowly, looking down at my sore feet and wondering what I’ll eat for dinner. Before I went up to my apartment, I checked my mail and screamed! Oh yes! Merci! My Current/Elliot black leggings I won from La Couturier! I did a little dance and then looked around to make sure nobody saw it but couldn’t care less if anyone did!

    This is perfect! This is amazing! This is exactly what I want! I talked to myself while I paced back back and forth around my living room like a mad woman clutching the leggings. So now! What should I wear with it? The possibilities! But for tonight, I will pair it with my new white pocket tee from NastyGal Vintage and my printed Chanelesque jacket and my beautiful dimaond bracelet from my dear aunt. Then I’ll put on a pair of gladiator heels and mess up my hair a little bit for that casual coolness. Finally I’ll grab my black leather bag and headed out the door feeling as fabulous as a Manhanttan socialite! Au Voire! xxoxoxoxoxoxo
