DOS & DON'TS

The only bad part of capturing a sleepy-eyed supertigress like this in the wild is trying to think up some bullshit to write about her shirt. Comments/Enlarge | See all

COURTNEY SHANKS is the lead singer and bassist for Blood on the Wall, a totally fun rock band that makes us very nostalgic for something but we’re not sure what. She also has a vintage clothing store in Williamsburg called Rejoice. Blood on the Wall’s second album, Awesomer, is out on Social Registry, and they’re currently touring the East Coast with the Psychic Ills.

Missouri Tigers team jacket: My dad went to University of Missouri. I’m from Kansas City. I like to rock this shit. State pride. / Vintage sweatshirt / Wrangler jeans / Turquoise bracelet and vintage belt buckle (gifts from boyfriend)

Courtney tells us about some of her favorite stuff:

THE CURE T-SHIRT
This is a good hangover shirt. I’ve had it for years.

FENDER MUSICMASTER SHORT-SCALE BASS GUITAR
When I was 13, my dad bought me a 1967 Fender Musicmaster. They had it in “fiesta red” and “daphne blue.” I remember thinking red was the cooler color, but then when I grew up I thought, damn, I should’ve gotten the blue one. I looked for it for years because it’s really rare and then last Christmas, TK Webb, my boyfriend, found this one for me.

AMANDA RAY CLEGG EARRINGS
She made these for my birthday. I wear them every day.

GUCCI BAG
I carried this all the time for a while. It’s so hot. It came into my store and I claimed it for myself.

ROLAND COMPURHYTHM DRUM MACHINE
This is so old and rad-looking. We used this for our first seven-inch.
VINTAGE DRESS
I wear this dress all the time. It’s pretty sweet. I got it from my store.

POLO SHIRT
I love this shirt. I guess I dress sort of masculine.

BUILT BY WENDY REISSUED WRANGLER JEAN SKIRT
Wendy did such a badass job with all the Wrangler stuff. I just wear her jeans over and over until they die and then I get another pair. Same with this skirt. I basically wear the same exact thing all the time.
