Psychobilly Essentials

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

We have a great thread dedicated to the rockabilly look here:
http://www.pinuplifestyle.com/forum/topics/rockabilly-pin-up-girl and so I was thinking, why not talk about the other looks in this scene, they deserve some attention too!

So this thread is dedicated to our Psychobilly sisters. What would you say are the psychobilly wardrobe essentials? Lists, pictures, videos, post it all up!

How do you get the Psychobilly Look?

Ok I'll have to describe it since I have no pictures it seems of me dressed psychobilly. Usually my bangs flipped backwards as high as i can get, some funky bow or flower i've made for my hair, dark eyeshadow (or a purple or green or red), with dark lipstick, some matching nail color, heavy mascara, and some form of animal print.

[Raquella Rigormortis]

Beautiful makeup girlie!

Don't forget to add to the list of psychobilly must-haves: attitude and cheap beer. (Both being the cause of, and solution to, most of life's problems...haha...)

To me, it's all about the eye makeup. =0]

We can't really talk about psychobilly without talking about zombies!!

[Anita Fixx]

Awesome pics!!! and the second last pic reminds me..I got a skeleton hand and a flower with a skull in it hair barettes at Fan Expo last year for a good price. Keep your eyes peeled 'cause you never know where you'll find a good deal on that stuff. Oh and a sense of humour is a must for psychobilly..it's basically Goth with sarcasm and a sense of fun. : P

[Ida Baker]

They run a tad big, if you're a .5 size buy the size down, at least that's been my experience with Iron Fist shoes.

I am SOOOO STOKED on this thread!
I have been trying for such a long time to find a semi cohesive grouping of Psychobilly stuff! While I am mostly rockabilly, my Burlesque Character is VERY Psychobilly; as a matter of Fact, she's a Zombie.
Tabby von Terror, born into the world of horror movies and haunted houses, became UNDEAD by accident and now dances with the Caburlesque Kittens in search of food- I mean adventure!
I am not so talented in the makeup department, but i would LOVE to learn how to do my eyes like that! I do have my lime green eye though!

I think for me, the essentials are Lime green or vibrant wild colors, zombie-related items (for me i have green hair bows with severed hands on them), green and black hair extensions (since i cant dye my hair wild colors for work :[ ), My gore makeup (when at acceptable venues lol), clothes and attitude! I find that my style for Psychobilly comes across just as much in my attitude and not just defined by what i'm wearing.

Here is a pic of me from Friday. I call it my "doing nothing special, dang it's hot out" psychobilly look.
