This is the blog that celebrates the fact that if you’re good at playing instruments then people throw clothes at you in the hope that you’ll wear it in NME and Topshop will buy the collection after seeing it.

Little Boots is kind of a big deal. Don’t know if you’ve heard about a little thing called blogs, but yeah, she’s pretty big on them. Personally I’ve been listening to the Fred Falke remix of “New In Town” all day. She’s got some pretty sweet togs as well, all wizards and puppy dogs.

Vice: I like your wizard top…
Little Boots: Yeah, I like wizard stuff and I wear that T-shirt a lot.

This dog T-shirt’s pretty cute, did you get it from your gran?
No. I have a pet dog basically, and there’s this shop in a prime central Blackpool, which is half gimp wear, fetish wear, PVC outfits and all that and the other half sells like dog stuff.

Er… either they’re into “puppy play”, or they’re trying to block out all that depravity with cuddly little doggies.
Yeah, I was trying to work that out, maybe being into both is some weird passing trend. I’m not sure if their customers have a secret dog fetish thing or if the fetish people actually have a cute side that loves Yorkshire Terriers. They’ve got books and books of different dog pics you can have printed on hoodies, T-shirts even cushions, some of the dogs look really noble, weird, evil or sad and I like how they’ve put the dog on this tee in a lagoon.

Apart from fetish kitsch what else are you into?
Anything like this disturbingly Egyptian T-shirt - it’s sort of Egyptian army or something. I like Egyptian or Aztec kind of stuff. I have various looks: School nativity play, wacky Wendy in the office does a print, arts add crafts, and northern wedding.

We know you’re vintage irony all the way, but have any fashion freebies broken that steely resolve?
Well I never used to be one of those people, buuut, my McQueen handbag, though the bag was heavily discounted not free. Last Fashion Week I went to some really twatty parties full of knobs, who were green with envy at my bag and I got all: “Fuck off bitches mine is the best bag.” I took the McQueen bag to SXSW, went to see Metallica and got it covered in dust, steak and beer -  but it’s still alive.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever been sent?
I get these amazing necklaces, which are like slices of crystal. The kind that you get in hippie shops. Anything that’s verging on Pagan is definitely the future.

A few crystal necklaces isn’t really that weird, what you currently rocking on stage?
This one’s really good. This outfit is amazing but it’s a bit tight for onstage. It’s just ridiculous. It has this split up the back and it’s got these lion heads on it. It’s like so insane, a bit sexy 90’s, a bit S&M and a bit Buffy the Vampire. My friends have these Buffy nights and we all go out in crushed velvet and chokers.

Imagine you were being interviewed by a douche who asked you this question: What defines the Little Boots style?
I like anything that looks a bit futuristic, I love weird shapes, big shoulders, and tiny waists The idea of retro space-age from the 70’s is a good vibe. I’m a magpie, I’m attracted to glitter, anything shiny and I’m in there. My style extends from my music; which is a mix of disco, a bit spacey, a bit pop and ridiculous so that’s what I wear.
