Tyler Fernengel's Silverdome Session

Mad props to Red Bull Detroit for doing what myself and I know others, have wanted to do since we were kids: To Ride the Silver Dome! For those who who don't know, the Silver Dome is the old Detroit Lions Stadium. Every time I came to the SD growing up, I couldn't help but size up every wall, stairs or rails in a Tony Hawk Pro Skater kind of way. Always imagining that I could actually land all of these tricks without totally killing myself. Now years after the dome has retired. Red Bull chose one special kid to fullfill my childhood dream. This lucky duck is a local Detroit BMX rider is named Tyler Fernengel! 

Again mad props to everyone involved. We are full of envy and we are definitely "Not" going to break in as soon as possible to ride it for ourselves! Check the video out here !

Gypsy Warrior

Meet Nicla DiCosmo and Michel Bezoza, the two New Jersey raised Co-Founders of the lifestyle, clothing and accessory company called Gypsy Warrior! First launching the first edition of Gypsy Warrior's website back in 2010, the brand is heavily inspired by tattoo culture, rock n roll, high fashion, NYC, and vintage! In no time at all, the brand exploded overnight and rocketed straight to the top of shops and brands similar in style! By 2011, they opened their doors to the first GW store in Ridgewood New Jersey! On my recent trip to New Jersey last week, I was able to visit the Ridgewood store! Gypsy Warrior carries everything from clothes, accessories, shoes, pillow cases, tarot cards, candles, flasks, tapestry, and tons more!

Now, you may be asking yourself, well Melanie, what the hell does Gypsy Warrior mean?

These girls have made a complete image and a character for their brand, and I think that is so brilliant! The girl I see in my head is the kind of girl you see at music festivals, running around barefoot, and dancing her nights away, lost in the music. She's bold, careless, and just wants to have fun! I feel we've all met girls like this, and Gypsy Warrior is the perfect brand for her! Not only does GW have their own designs, and styles, but they also carry a lot of other brands in store, and online as well, such as Disturbia, YRU, MINKPINK, REVERSE and so much more!

So admittedly I went to New Jersey for this store. I was born in New Jersey, but the town I'm from is gross now, so Gypsy Warrior is what I was looking forward to seeing the most! It was so great to finally get there, after wishing that one day I'd be able to! It was almost surreal. I'm a huge nerd I know. But when we went in, we were greeted by the girl who was working there, and she was very helpful the whole time, and it felt like I was being taken care of while I was shopping! Also, I'm almost positive that Michel was actually at the store when I was shopping, which was pretty cool! 

I didn't buy too much, because a lot everything I wanted, they didn't have in my size (What a relief.... My bank account would have hated me..) However, I did end up getting this cute "Girl Gang" ringer top, a Gypsy Warrior Jack Daniels inspired sleeveless top, a cleaver necklace, and an ADORABLE Ouji Board embroidered iron-on patch!

I was so in love with the general set up of the store, and the merchandising of it. I have this huge obsession with pink neon signs, and there were these two gorgeous ones that say, "Wanderland" and "She loves adventure" If you live close by Ridgewood New Jersey, and have time to stop by the store, you absolutely should!! Also, there's a delicious donut shop right next door, so double reason to go! 

Gypsy Warrior is the perfect representation of a Vile Girl, 100%!!

Green Flash - Silva Stout

Ever since trying my first Green Flash brew when I had met their marketing team, I knew these guys had a penchant for big flavors. Just one sip of that west coast IPA and they had a fan for life. Now, I've had their double stout, and while it is delicious, it is not what I expected out of the Silva. Silky and creamy, and this amazing butterscotch flavor I have never tasted from a barrel-aged stout. Even on the nose you get that burnt sugar smell, like a crème brûlée. As far as I've read this is a blended stout. They first age the double stout for 17 months(!) in bourbon barrels, then blend in fresh stout as to not overwhelm the palate with whatever happened in those barrels. Sure there's the usual roasty-chocolatey niceness that comes with stouts, but this one has that little something else that I've just never come across in an aged beer. Which makes for a very unique and desirable brew. Cheers!

Niki Urban Artwork

Meet miss Dominique (Niki) Urban, a Detroit College for Creative Studies 2012 graduate who went on to create some of the most breathtaking, shocking and creepy art, and to create Niki Urban Artwork! HEAVILY Influenced by the Polish Gothic architecture of her youth, THIS VILE GIRL ISN'T HERE TO PLEASE THE PRETTY, FRILLY, AND CUTE PARTS OF YOUR DREAMS.

"Urban's body of work for Red Bull House of Art takes the audience through the back alleys of a dark dream steeped in fantasy; a part of your imagination you don't normally explore."

Her work has been called obsessive for the attention to detail. With her art being displayed at the Red Bull House of Art in April 2015, it was Urban's largest gallery showing to date.

Urban says she enjoys the tedious nature of some of the mediums she enjoys using in her art. What those are you may ask? Well.. The question is what doesn't she use.. Niki uses mediums such as paint, charcoal, digital art, and even ink pen on goat and sheep skulls! She's done many skateboard designs, portraits of others, and of herself as well!

Urban says her works usually have a very "gloomy" or dark theme to them, and it comes from a special relationship with fear and anxiety, the same reason I believe why people like watching horror films, and getting on horrifying amusement park rides, just for the thrill. With the creepier sides of things, you can go to the deepest parts of your mind, and pull out the most illogical scenarios, and characters. So why not go with it, and keep it a little creepy, right?

The Moto Lady

In May, we celebrate women who ride, and if there is anyone who deserves the spot light for advocating women riders, it's Alicia Mariah Elfving. Her website, aptly named after her own moniker "The Moto Lady", is a collection of all things motorcycle. She promotes a sense of community for female riders, giving gear and industry reviews, and gives a venue for aspiring riders to talk and discuss the best ways to break into this lifestyle. 

When you peruse her website, you will find it hard to escape pics of her and her beloved Ducati Monster 750, which she overhauled from one end to the other. It was this build that actually caught my eye and caused me to start following her on Instagram (@motolady). Her dedication and determination with this build was inspiring and gave hope to someone like me who gets frustrated at the simplest mechanical set backs. Whether you're into cruisers or sport bikes, it's hard not to appreciate this bike from head light to tailpipe.

Alicia recently released shots from a collaboration she did with the motorcycle documentary team at Stories of Bike, so make sure to swing by her website for updates, and check out what she's doing to elevate women's motorcycle culture.

Ride safe

Flying Monkeys Brewery: The Matador version 2.0 - El Toro Bravo

Have you ever been inside of a humidor? It's a very distinct smell. Ever wonder what it would be like to burn one down and then use the ashes to make a beer that tasted just like it? Wonder no more. This version of Flying Monkeys The Matador dark rye ale is aged on a bed of Spanish Cedar. This process marries the beer with the flavors of the wood and, with the spiciness of the rye malt, leaves this beer with an amazing flavor and mouth-feel. A little on the beefier side in the mouth, along with a huge 10.10% abv Flying Monkeys is no stranger to gigantic flavors and huge beers. This beer is no exception. I can only imagine chewing the perfect medium-rare steak and sipping this in unison. The flavors were almost meant to be. Drink it now or cellar this beast for up to 2 years and see where it goes. Cheers!

"I'm having a no hair day" // Bold Bald Babes

I think most of us can remember where we were when we heard/ saw all over social media that Miley Cyrus cut off all of her hair, and went platinum blonde back in August of 2012.... Oh that's just me? Awkward.

I remember being confused at first as to why she would do that, because I remember I loved her shoulder length hair/ top knot bun she always sported and it suited her so well! As more pictures surfaced of her new hair, the more in LOVE I fell with her new look. At the time, I was on a several year streak without a haircut, and clutched onto my hair at the thought of even cutting a couple of inches off! And now that I look back at the dates of the pictures I posted, almost exactly two years later, I ended up cutting a good chunk of my hair off, and got an undercut shaved off of the bottom of my hair! Here's a picture of my hair evolution in just under a year!

WARNING: IF YOU SHAVE PART OF YOUR HAIR, YOU MAY END UP GETTING CLIPPER HAPPY, AND SHAVING MORE AND MORE AND MORE. You've been warned!!!

It all started with a small undercut....... And here I am almost an entire year later with the shortest hair I've ever had in my life, since I was a little baby child. The first time I had my head shaved, I remembered loving the way it felt getting my hair buzzed. Eventually I asked my friend to bring the shaved part a little higher. By then, I knew eventually my hair would end up short, or even bald (Which isn't not an option at this point...) because I was so addicted to how it felt to get my head shaved! On a bored, curious snowed in day at my friend's mom's house, we got the idea to shave my hair even further up, and cut the length shorter to leave what would be just a top knot, then I eventually got layers cut, made it pink, and here I am today!

I remember reading how liberated and happy Miley said she was after she cut her hair off, and thought I'd be nothing without my hair. I can say the complete opposite now that my hair is this short! I've never felt more myself! I don't have hair to hide behind. I have nothing to hide and it truly does feel amazing. 

Have really thick, heavy hair, and migraines from ponytails? UNDERCUT!
Summer time, and the heat sucks on the back of your neck? UNDERCUT!
Hair takes lots of time/product to wash/style? UNDERCUT!
Wanna look like a bad ass babe?!! UNDERCUTORSHAVEMOST/ALLOFITOFF!!!

DISCLAIMER: By no means am I saying, just go for it and do it on a whim, and shave your head! You're literally shaving a chunk of your hair off. You should probably think about it quite a bit before you just chop it all off! But if you're considering it, my advice would be to find a reputable hair stylist in your area, and bring lots of pictures for reference! 

So, this Wednesday is dedicated to all the bald babes of the world who were fearless, and said fuck it to the societal norm of long hair! CHEERS TO YOU ALL. YOU'RE ALL QUEENS IN MY EYES.

RUMOURS BLACKLISTED TEASER

THIS WEEK WE ARE STOKED FOR THE RELEASE OF OUR BOYS IN RUMOURS FIRST MUSIC VIDEO FOR THEIR NEW SINGLE BLACKLISTED!  CHECK OUT THE TEASER HERE! 

Stillwater Artisanal_Contemporary Works - Surround

When first seeing Stillwater come into the state it seemed as if they were sort of a one trick pony. Everything I saw was a saison, or a take on a saison. I'm not a huge saison fan but they seemed to have an allure to them that made me try every single beer of theirs. Then some other stuff started to trickle in with an eye-catching packing and style descriptions that begged to be sampled. Specifically the new Contemporary Works series that has just been released. The Surround is... wait for it, an oak-smoked imperial wheat stout. Oh yeah. Unfortunately this is a one-off brew so you may never see it again but for now it's in abundance. Taken from Stillwater's site: "Like a sound system that fills the room with audibles swarming in every direction. This massive stout overtakes your senses with aromas & flavor of dark chocolate, caramel, roast, smoke, earth & wood, It's heavy I know, but you have to drop that bass every once in a while if you really wanna get down." Fuckin' A Stillwater. I'm always tryin' to get down. Pair with all of the bbq. Especially a fat Delmonico steak. Cheers!

Valfre Clothing and Accessories!

If you've ever felt anything in life ever, as a girl, you'll be able to relate to something from Valfre! Felt really good in lingerie? Felt like stuffing your face? Felt a little sassy? Femme Fatale? Yep, Valfre has something for all of that! 

Valfre the brand all started with Miss Ilse Valfre herself! It started with her artwork, and sharing it through a blog! As the following for the blog began to grow, Ilse decided to to create a brand based off of the artwork! Grabbing inspiration from everyday life, powerful badass women, and "peppered with touches of humor and satire," it's safe to say, Valfre is perfect for any Vile girl! Her characters are the perfect representation of a Vile girl, because her girls don't care what you think about their hair, makeup, tattoos, and she's not afraid to be herself! Valfre embodies that ideal perfectly, which is why I love Valfre so much!

What has evolved from art prints, to shirts, sweaters, jackets, purses, and phone cases! I recently purchased the "100% BOY TEARS 3D Phone Case" for my iPhone 6, and it's seriously the cutest little thing ever. I've seen all of my favorite bloggers sporting it on their phones on snapchat, and Instagram, and I just had to have one myself! I was also lucky enough to be gifted a Valfre "Grow A Pair Jacket" recently, as an early birthday present! 

Here are just some of my favorite Valfre designs, pieces, and prints! I've been very inspired by Valfre recently, and I know for sure when I put that Grow a Pair jacket on, I felt so cute, but oh so powerful and like a bad ass babe! I know there need to be more companies like Valfre, who can empower girls and women and make them feel like they can run the world, BECAUSE THEY CAN!! Valfre is growing everyday, and it never siezes to impress me what she comes up with!

The Women's Moto Exhibit

Possibly one of my favorite photographers to follow is Portland's Lanakila Macnaughton. One look at her Instagram @fevvvvaa and you will see why. At first look, it's hard not to scroll through pic after pic of women tearin it up on bikes. But it's actually so much more than that. 

Armed with her Hassleblad, she takes to the road to document female riders for The Women's Moto Exhibit. She captures absolutely amazing shots of women living life on the road and riding free of everything. She has helped develop a culture where women are not afraid to embrace the "born to be free" motorcycle culture. 

With International Female Riders Day come and gone this month, I would like to invite you to take a look and celebrate someone who helps to elevate this lifestyle, and brings the beauty and freedom of these riders to light. You can check for updates right here

BLACKROCKS BREWERY 51K IPA

This one is for my Michigan beer geeks who read this, however few there may be. Yes, another IPA. I had the pleasure a few months back of trying a delicious canned brew from Blackrocks brewery out of the great north... the Upper Peninsula! Blackrocks brewery has now acquired distribution into the lower half of the state, which means elsewhere soon enough. As of this week you can start finding their great canned line wherever finer beers are sold. The first one I'd recommend and the first I've tried was the 51K IPA. It has all the wonderful floral and citrus notes you'd expect from a midwestern IPA. Nice alcohol at 7%. Some might be reminded of a certain beer with a couple hearts, but this beer stands on its own. A great balance of malt and hops, I sure can't wait to try the rest of their beers. I can tell Blackrocks is going to be around for quite a while with flavors like this. Cheers!

Eye Liner Talk: Finding What Works Best for You!

I had my first experimentation with makeup the Summer before 9th Grade when I was finally given permission to start wearing it from my parents. It's definitely safe to say that it was not cute, and thank goodness I don't have any pictures to go with this awful story. That was about 7 years ago now, and since then, I've been able to try tons of products from all over the makeup spectrum, and I think I've finally found what I think works for me! By no means am I a professional, or think I am. Lots of trial and error, and I still end up with wonky eyeliner wings, and just deal with it because I can't be bothered to fix them for the 50th time. Who has the time?

The makeup I like most, would have to be eyeliner, and that might be very obvious... I've tried lots of eyeliners over the years, drug store and high end, and I have a few favorites! My personal favorite kind of eyeliners are the spongy, felt tip pointed liners! I feel like I have a lot more control over them when I apply it to my eyes! Brushes can get messy! Gels aren't bad, I just hate cleaning makeup brushes.

Here are some of my most used drug store eyeliners! I didn't put any coal/pencil/ crayon liners on here, because I don't use those for anything but tight-lining my eyes. All of these are ones I've bought once, and bought again! 

Wet n Wild Mega Liner:  $2.99 at any drug store! For such a cheap price I was so skeptical about this one, but after doing a little internet searching reviews on this guy, I gave it a chance, because I found it had generally good reviews. Also Kreayshawn uses this eyeliner, and I used to be all about her eyeliner wings! It stays on all day, it goes on very dark, and dries pretty fast! I never found that it smudged horribly either! It also comes in waterproof, but I'm terrified of waterproof eyeliner/mascara because it NEVER COMES OFF. I stay clear. Final verdict: 4/5

Maybelline Master Precise: ~$4.79 at Target! I've used this one more recently, and I recommend it to anyone who asks what eyeliner to use! I've only started using sponge felt tip liquid liners this year, and this eyeliner is great for getting a perfect wing, because of the sharp point it comes to, and the length of the applicator! So you can keep it small and sweet, or big and bold! It goes on very black, and dries very fast as well! I've never had any smudging or transferring onto my eyelids! 5/5 WOULD recommend!

Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Liner: ~$6.99 at Wallgreens! This is the liner that I'm CURRENTLY using! It's still pretty new to me, but I've been using it every time I put my makeup on! The found this eyeliner on Pinterest with the caption saying "BEST EYELINER IN THE WORLD FOR ONLY $6.99!!!!" So the easy to please consumer in me went out on the hunt to find it. Not all drugs stores carry Milani, so you may have to hit up a few stores! The search is very worth it! It goes on black, the sponge felt tip applicator is the perfect length, and it also dries very fast! It's my new go to, and I will recommend this one to anyone who asks me here on out! 5/5 WOULD recommend!! 

E.L.F. Cream Eyeliner: ~ $3.00 at Target! This was the first gel liner I ever used, and it was what I needed at that point, and it worked for me at the time. I still use it to tight-line my eyes, or to smudge my bottom lashes, but I wouldn't use it for eye-lid liner wings! 2/5 

Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Liner: ~$9.00 at Target! I really like this liner a lot, and if I still used Gel Liners for doing my wings, I would go to this one if I was in a pinch, and couldn't get to a makeup store! It's great for tight-lining as well! My mom bought this, which is how I first tried it! 4/5

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner/ Ink Liner: BOTH $19.00 // I'm just going to give my two cents about these together, because I feel like they're very similar. I didn't notice much difference between the two, to be 100% honest. They both worked pretty well, but I feel like they smudged by the end of a long day. Which is unfortunate because they're basically $20.. Also, in my experience, I couldn't get a line out of it at the very tip of the applicator! I like to get right into the inner corners of my eyes, and it was very difficult to do with these. They're lovely liners, very pigmented, I just didn't get what I thought I'd be getting when I paid almost $20 for them! Everyone else I ask about these liners, they love them. So maybe I'm just not advanced for these babies just yet. Try looking up some review on them yourself, and you may find different opinions! This is just my two cents~ 3/5

Sephora Brand Fine Line: $14.00 // I find that I had the same problems with this eyeliner, that I had with the two Kat Von D ones! They went on very dark, but the applicator wasn't all the way to the tip, and these one smudged over the course of my day as well! 2/5

Sephora Brand Dramatic Line: $14.00 // Was not a fan of this one... The little flat tip seemed practival, until I tried to use it, aaaaaaaand boom, a square on my eyelids. Returned instantly. 0/5 

MAC Liquid Last Liner: $20.00 // I enjoyed this eye liner when I first purchased it! I'm not very great with brush liners, I feel like I have very little control with them, and the wrong FLICKOFTHEWRIST could mess up your fleekness~ So I try to avoid brush liners. Anyway, after using it and when I started to get to the bottom of it, the applicator started to get little clumpies on it, that were built up and was pretty gross. It also took a minute to dry after being applied. But it stayed on very well, and was very pigmented! 

 My biggest advice with eyeliner is THEY ARE SISTERS NOT TWINS! DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH, OR YOU'LL JUST GET FRUSTRATED AND IT WILL NEVER COME OUT GOOD THAT WAY! 

Watch this video of Mykie of GLAM&GORE on Youtube of "How to 'WING' Your Eyeliner" She's really hilarious, and this is my favorite eyeliner video out of the HUNDREDS of winging your liner on YouTube!

First introduced in 1997, this perfect example of the west coast IPA is bursting with citrus and floral hop flavors and aromas. Notes of pine explode from the glass. Fitted with Magnum, Chinook & Centennial hops Stone IPA is a dry biting beast. Nice body and nice carbonation, nothing about this beer is offensive and honestly it's a very refreshing IPA. Pair with cheese, salads... fuck, it's bbq season. Grill some chicken and fish and keep these as handy as the lighter fluid. Cheers!
