bad ass ladies of country, pt 2

MISS LORETTA LYNN aka the coolest lady around.

This really should have been the first post, because without her all the other ladies might not even exist. She's known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and is amazing, plus she writes all her songs which is amazing (and kind of a rarity for lady country singers).  And man what a life, everyone should watch the movie Coal Miner's Daughter (spoiler: she had 3 kids by age 19).

This song is called Fist City that's all you need to know-

One of my favorites, love how she smiles while singing all these songs-

Loretta laying down the law-

A song about birth control! This got banned by a bunch of radio stations when it came out-

(This slideshow is pretty lol but I couldn't find a live version)

PS When I was in Alabama 3 years ago I "hated country music" (my words) but for some reason I liked this song...think it was the first country song I ever downloaded-

pitch perfect

Just watched it, to quote youtube user Helen Sitko: "This was a great movie. It is
one of the best. If they make a pitch perfect 2, it will probably be just as good."

Couldn't have said it better myself Helen!

This is one of the clips from the movie, it really made me want to join a cool
collegiate a capella group...

And that scene of course made me rewatch this gem--

MATCHING WHITE OVERALLS

magical

Doesn't this place just look like the absolute best?

how to be alone

This video is spot on, being comfortable alone is so crucial.

After a solid week of never being alone for more than 5 minutes, I'm really 

enjoying my current state of solitude and having me entirely to myself. 

wake owl

On repeat.

top of the lake

Eerie and beautiful and so good.

oh wait

Never mind back in it.

PS I fully realize that this blog is basically just my diary at this point...I'm cool with that.

Seems that only JT could pull me out of my Taylor black hole...love this song 

but holy shit his outfits get worse in each scene in this video. 

Speaking of N Sync, my cool LA sighting from this trip: Lance Bass! 

Saw him at a bar in Los Feliz. It was pretttty cool.
