Blue Steel


This past weekend we were out of town for a traveling baseball tournament, minivan packed to the roof with gear. Also staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Onalaska, WI was the band known as Starship and .38 Special. There may or may not have been some pictures taken of the entire team with the lead singers (whom they had no idea about) and some 40-somethings reminiscing about their younger days as groupies. Seems everyone has a concert story or two. I have backstage passes signed by rock legends and a few pictures of my own exploits (Tommy Shaw of Styx has the softest cheeks ever. I know. I kissed them. ;-) and more than my share of guitar picks and even a drumstick given to me in a flirtatious backstage moment. A far cry from the minivan driving-baseball toting mom that I am today.

Blue Steel


But back in the day I would have had no problem rocking these earrings Blue Steel with this chic ensemble at Summerfest on the lakefront in Milwaukee. Now I can just dream of wearing this (but those shoes are still calling my name!). Wearing these make me feel like I'm 19 again even if the calendar disagrees.

And I still have a thing for drummers. ;-)

    Those are just lovely. I love the peanut beads on the earwires. And those shoes are awesome. :)

    The earrings are awesome! The ceramic adds a touch of artistic sweetness to them. And you could rock the earrings and the entire outfit any day, regardless of age!

    Those are fantastic!!! Love all the metal! Those silver peanut beads make those the best earwires ever! Love those curved pieces, they look like galvanized steel, love how they're echoed by the shape of the earwires. Great mix of different metal finishes. Those charms are fab! Love how the top is dipped in a different glaze. (Get the shoes.)

    You definitely could rock those out and the shoes are fab. The whole style ensemble is awesome. I too have a thing for drummers my first love was a drummer! He was the cutest guy and he could rock like nobodies business.

    Gorgeous earrings Erin and the shoes.....oh how I wish I could wear shoes like that. My poor old feet are so used to "sensible" shoes now I know I'd having trouble staying upright in them.

    Beautiful earrings! I was just in La Crosse last weekend. (But I didn't even get close to a rock star.)

    very cool earrings! Who knew you were such a groupie?! I was in a garage band for while in my mid-20s, and yup, had a thing with the drummer. ;-)

    These earrings totally ROCK! Love 'em! And drummers,...oh yes! Wow, .38 Special,...now I've got the tune "hold on loosely' running through my brain - thanks Erin!! I'd wear those shoes, too - probably couldn't actually get up and walk in them, but my feet would look awesome while I sat backstage!! LOL!! Great post!
