You've got it, I am channeling Janis Joplin, minus the excessive drug and alcohol abuse.
A white girl out of Texas that sang as soulful as a black woman, arriving in the San Francisco circa via the 1960's. She made her fans overjoyed, excited for the times, wanting a change, and just enjoying rocking out to the tunes.
Now, saying that, the 1960's led to change in politics, stereotypes, prejudices, music, fashion, and must industry in general. So, here's a tribute to you Janis.
Although she doesn't come across as a fashionable nor classically beautiful woman, I look to her for inspiration. Her free spirit and soul make me want to open myself up to be free from trends, and the typical.
So, although I have nothing specific to offer with fashion in relation to her, I would like to leave you to think about why things inspire you in the ways they do.
She inspires me to want to be free and fun, wear my hair crazy and wavy, not match, throw things on. And to not give a crap. I love it. It brings out my best fashion days.
What makes you do that? Inspiration does not solely lie in the pictures we wish to mimic. It does not lie in a 'look' we wish to portray. It carries on with us everyday, in the back of our minds.
However, the tee below wouldn't be so bad...! (not to ruin the moment)

Very interesting, although I dont agree with what you say.
I also do not like Janis Joplins voice, its too rough for me.
hmmmm i remember Fashion Rocks,a supplement that came with my teenvogue did an editorial featuring Raquel Zimmerman with janis joplin inspired looks.
I agree with some of what you said. On days when I put something on not caring what other people will think or say can be my best outfit days. Nice post.
Oh, I love Janis's psychedelic outfits -- boas! beads! velvet! Lov her music too.
She looks like the volunteer cordinator at the library I volunteer at. Haha. I hella started listening to the song after I read this blog. Dude I love the 60's.
Fashion is all about the attitude anyway.
