Me and My Guitar! (by sarah)
Ok here are some pics of me and the purple sparkly electric guitar 🙂 It is a Vintage and if it had been bought new it would have been hundreds of pounds! And I would have had to hit Al on the head for buying it! As it is repairing the damage it got in transit would cost more than three times the sort of money he paid!
Only thing is please bare in mind that I am like ready to drop the sprog in these photos so am a little on the erm... large size! Also these are posed photos from before we got the string for it so I'm not actually playing.
Dad got a string for it today and I have tied ribbon onto it as a strap until I extract my existing strap from my brother - I then played it until my fingers got sore - making about with the nobs and what not - I got an OH YEAH! sound out of it - unfortunatly the only things I can play really well at the more are nursery rhymes so we had a rock version of Goosey Goosey Gander 😉
I tried out some Guns and Roses and Nivana on it too - just to check you know 😉 I haven't a clue what I am doing with it and thin Come As You Are actually sounds better on my old battered acoustic!
I think I am in love.... droool - I think I may make up my own musical genre too. When I have the Purple Vin in my hands I magically transform into Bubble Gum Goth!!!! a.k.a. the Happy Mosher who has not been seen for a few years but is still lurking around 😉

Thanks for the awesome pics! That is an astonishing guitar! So pretty! My other half's green with envy :p
Looking forward to seeing Bubble Gum Goth becoming the big musical craze of the 2010s. Be sure to educate Jean and Mary that it's a real genre. What's the point in having kids if you can't mould their minds for your own insidious ends?
And don't apologise- you look lovely ^_^

Helen 🙂 The acoustic I've been using is the one you gave me! Though it did get decorated with nail vanish when I was like 18 :/
