She is part of the reason why I started this blog. The intersection of music and fashion, most importantly rocker style, was what I saw in her. Her torn jeans, perfect worn tees, and leather jackets were down to earth, yet performance ready. Those were the days when I shunned make up and only wore pants, much like Miss Mosshart. Like Alison, I later came to embrace make up and wear something besides pants, though I had declared that I never would.
Even through the changes, she is still an icon who I admire. I still scour thirft shops for perfectly worn in tees, or wear my own until their just right. Though I've replaced jeans with leggings, I can't help but covet her green leather motorcycle pants.
To my young ears and eyes, the music of The Kills, like her on-stage presence, was shocking . So, Alison Mosshart making a statement is really no big. It's just her. For that, she is inspirational.
