till i lose my sense of gravity

hi!

here's another one of my africa looks, named after an absolutely awesome song by one of my favourite artists/musicians

i adore patti smith's music, her style and her amazing lyrics and poems. she's such a beautiful woman and a great rolemodel!
let alone her autobiography just kids which i have read 4 times and will never get tired of!

when i found this shirt in h&m i was happy and kinda annoyed at the same time. it think it's really cool but i've told you about my attitude towards h&m band shirts before.. soon half of your school will be wearing them without even knowing/listening to the band. but still i thought if ANYONE at my school should be wearing this it's me, haha. i have two other patti smith shirts (both bought at her show in berlin in 2010) and i hate admitting it but i think i like the h&m one the best!

h&m band shirts... cool or not!?

today I saw a pretty awesome michael jackson tee at h&m, and I've really wanted a michael jackson tee for years since I'm a big fan.. I didn't buy it though because soon probably half of the school will be wearing the same shirt and that isn't cool, is it!?

the same thing happens all the time: nirvana, the stones, the doors, the clash, jimi hendrix ... I would rate all those among my favourite bands, and I did buy some of the shirts but only in the men's section because not a lot of girls at my school wear men's shirts and the boys don't shop at h&m a lot.

but the girls' shirts - which are awesome, really! - are always worn by half of the girls at my school, often even by like 6 graders who don't even know the mouth with the toung sticking out on their shirts is the logo of a band. this really makes me wish h&m wouldn't even sell these shirts.

that's a luxury problem, I know! but still... what do you think? do you wear the h&m band shirts? I'd love to hear (read!) your opinion on this topic!
