Music has always driven me. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a killer melody and a beat.

| Shirley Manson (of the band, Garbage) |
I've always had great respect for strong women in music and if there is one chick who truly encompasses that it's Shirley Manson, lead singer of the alterna-rock band Garbage. As the only female in an all guy band, Shirley blended feminine frocks with rough-and-tumble items, creating a perfect fashion contradiction as well as a look that not only complimented the solid edge and industrial musicality of the band but also let her own individuality shine through.

I think I was in 6th grade when I saw the music video for "Only Happy When It Rains"(off of their first self-titled album,
Garbage) and my jaw dropped in delight. The hot colored shift dresses. The combat boots. The fishnet stockings. The shaggy bob. She was putting items together that I had never even considered pairing together before, and it all looked so tough and effortless! Thus, my love affair with the trendy songstress began.

| Kohl-rimmed eyes are a must for Manson! |
 |
| Bold skintight sheath dresses can be a rock-in-roll Goddess' best friend! |
 |
| These boots were made for walking, rocking and kicking ass! |
Truly a vixen in her own right and a total rock Goddess! Shirley, you rock!
Last but not least - here is the video that started it all for me :) Enjoy!
"I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities. They don't go away just because they call you a sex symbol."- Shirley Manson
(Sigh, as if I couldn't heart this girl enough - she has to go on and prove that she's human! :)
