Red Right Hand

This week Eric is picking out songs to inspire my outfits and today's is Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's Red Right Hand. Besides the fact that I usually find Nick Cave kind creepy, this song is bad ass. The imagery is a.) perfect b.) inspired by a Paradise Lost quote. Also, it's in the Scream movies, which is cool. Here are some lines that I found particularly inspiring: On a gathering storm comes/ a tall handsome man/ in a dusty black coat with/ a red right hand & You're one microscopic cog/in his catastrophic plan/ designed and directed by/ his red right hand

I have to say this was way fun to do and I'm pretty proud of the effects, honestly. There is some cool Wild West Rodeo imagery in the lyrics, so I thought the skeleton earrings and the cowboy boots were appropriate. The top is not entirely appropriate (and yes I DID wear it to get dinner at Panera in the burbs, and I WAS sorta side-eyed at the Sev when I was getting my sugar free Sprite Slurpee) but I thought black and red and sexy also fit the song. And then, obvi, I went literal and painted my nails red and wore giant red cocktail rings on my right hand, along with some red bangles. It's not a subtle song. 

Seriously, y'all, this is really fun. Stay tuned for tomorrow when I'll be wearing Melanie's 

Brand New Key.
