50ft queenie














There'll be scarce posting this week as we narrow down the magazine submissions (thank you to those who submitted for your impressive patience! Just wanna give each entry an appropriate amount of attention and whatnot) so let's enjoy the flawless style of miss Polly Jean Harvey. Celebrity iconography! Sequins! Leopard print! American flags! These all require exclamation points. Perfect Americana trashy hotel room vibes, man. Please note the red top in the 7th picture that says "I heart Jesus" all over it and her Marilyn Monroe top in the video for Man-Size, where she also sings about leather boots. I haven't wanted a Spice Girls t-shirt this badly since I was 5. (I had older sisters.)

    I actually had that black Spice Girls tshirt, NO LIES.
    Really wish I'd kept it but at least I still have my Spice Girls necklace. OH YEAH.
    Keep the goodness coming, Tavi :)

  15. "...the flawless style of miss Polly Jean Harvey" = Absolutely! :-)

    When PJ combines her great guitar playing, powerful lyrics, sense of humour, amazing style, and a good measure of the slightly unhinged (said with respect and big admiration!), there's nothing better! Huge inspiration for when I'm trying to be creative :-)

    Awesome selection of images and songs, Tavi!

  31. Polly Jean is amazing! I love her style and her music. She's not ashamed of being a woman. I think she lives in the English countryside, and imagine that in her off-stage time she just wears jeans, jumpers and padded jackets.

  35. hi tavi,
    great choice including A PERFECT DAY ELISE in your videos selection
    (out of all the videos you could have chosen)
    the song blows me away ... the marriage of beats, distorted basslines and strings.

    that whole period is definitely her most underrated work to date

    PJ said this about the album:

    "I do think Is This Desire? is the best record I ever made—maybe ever will make—and I feel that that was probably the highlight of my career. I gave 100 per cent of myself to that record. Maybe that was detrimental to my health at the same time."

  44. PJ Harvey is the reason I bought an acoustic guitar a few weeks ago. How peculiar, I was actually going to email you urging you to check her out. I love how she changes along with her different styles of her albums. I submitted something to you about your magazine, but only mentioned Natalie Merchant and not the wonderfulness that IS PJ Harvey. I'm so glad this post is devoted to her. Thank you.

    The song, "The Dancer" feels like she is scraping my soul when she sings it. I absolutely love it.

    Very, very good.

  50. you know what? it's the first time i see a picture of Polly Jean Harvey. shame on me! anyway, ur right, all you said require exclamation points. but what my disappointment when i wanted to look at the videos: i'm in germany for my studies until the 25th february and germany doesn't really like youtube... it means that the all videos said "your video is not available in your country". well... i hope i can find an other link!

  61. The trashy hotel vibes are exactly the kinds of vibes i was getting. A seedy motel on the edge of town that announced itself with pink and green neon lights where everyone smokes cheap cigarettes and more than a few corner workers live there.

  66. @Maud Cassie its more like the other way around: youtube blocks certain content for certain country IPs. i'm in Germany too. simplest solution: use a proxy. this site is pretty ok.

  67. I had been wondering if you ever changed things on your blog, like from the past or whatever. It's good to know you do, because I do it a lot (even though I just started). Are you a perfectionist? How do you deal with stuff from your blogging past that you can't really relate to anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Wow, that sounded very journalisty. I'm just curious about how to deal with the clash between perfectionism and art, especially on a public blog. :)

  76. I'm afraid I've never heard of PJ Harvey until now, or perhaps I had but not enough to recognise it, either way she takes the sexual side of fashion and plays with it, which is cool; sometimes fashion is about looking attractive, sometimes it's about looking like a castmember of 'The Mighty Boosh' (which I am addicted to.)

    This woman seems flawlessly uninterrupted in her personal style which, I feel, is very impressive.
    Sexual fashion isn't necessarily the spawn of the devil, looking and feeling like walking sex is just as cool as looking and feeling like a comme des garcons muse; so long as the sexuality of your personal style doesn't taint your personality with bitchy-ness.

    I'm not so sure why this became a rant... It's been a long day.

    Love your blog Tavi, always inspiring :)

  77. what a lovely bunch of photos; nice job highlighting pj's many looks. interesting how they are all unique but similar at once, and interesting that unless grouping them as you have it would probably go unnoticed. well done.

  85. Great pic post. I'm not a huge fan of PJ Harvey's music BUT I absolutely love the natural glamour she radiates. Seriously she'd somehow appear fashion forward if she were in her sweats. And she also knows how to rock the curly hair.

    Off topic, good luck with your zine. I'm sure the work just going through submissions is ridiculous.
