Hello!

What kind of outfits/clothing pieces were a staple in Demri Parrott's everyday wear?

Thanks so much!

Barbara Dearaujo: “Demri was a fashion nut. She loved everything vintage. Victorian style dresses, 70’s stuff, overalls and combat boots. She wore things no one else could even try to pull off without looking like a weirdo but she always seemed to make the weirdest things look cute and cool. I’m pretty sure Demri was one of the girls who started the so-called ‘Seattle Grunge Look’, for girls at least. Demri was not a rocker chick, she totally had her very own style going on that we all secretly wanted to emulate.

In the early 90’s she dressed in all kinds of crazy yet cute clothes, anything retro or vintage. She loved long dresses, skirts, tutus, overalls and Doc Martins, hand-made clothes, she never really wore jeans and t-shirts, it was always something you’d never think of wearing but looked great on her and made you wish you would thought of this type of thing but even if you had it probably wouldn’t of looked as cool on you. She had that tiny little body that looks great in clothes.

She always wore her hair really long like to her butt or longer and she had thick wavy auburn hair. It was usually knotted and dred locked here and there but knotted or not it always looked cool. She wore black nail polish and when she wore make up she used maybe some black mascara and red lips but she didn’t usually wear a lot of make up, maybe except for lipstick when she went out. She was also the first girl I met who used her lipstick to add blush to her cheeks.” [5]

[Spring 1990 - by Krista Kay]

Ryan Kalsbeck: “Layne and Dem had that full on vintage clothing styles mixed with a hippie, new grunge rock twist. Homemade glass beaded long necklaces and bracelets, funky hats, hair sticks. Dem had pink lace and satin knickers that were real and from the 1900s.”

[1992 - By Alison Dyer]

Sherri: “She would always wear the rolled up overalls with black tights. She was so cute and original. Biggest smile, she always lit up the room. Heart of gold!”

[1991 - By Ed Chalfa]

Jacque: “As to her clothing style, it was kind of hippy chick but distinctively Demri.”

[1988 - By Krista Kay]

Kathleen Austin: “Someone once told me she would show up at a club in an outfit and the next night there would be several girls copying it.

She could pull articles of clothing that no one would think to combine and she would look adorable. She once designed a skirt from boxer shorts. I saw it on paper. As far as I know, it never came to fruition.” [6]

[Ca. 1990s - ByJack Plasky]

Shawna Murphy: “I had one of her necklaces ‘Forever’. It was like black cut glass stones, three strands with a gold clasp. She wore a lot of old-timey costume jewelry.” [6]

[Ca. 1990s - By Jack Plasky]

Tracy Johnson: “She did not want to be known as the girlfriend of a rock star and did whatever the hell she pleased but was friendly and personable to everyone she met. She wanted to be a model that’s why there are so many pictures of her posing. One thing that was funny. We were in Canada (canvouver, as we called it) and Dem couldn’t find Layne and was drunk and pissed off. But she has to pee, so we stopped and she walked in this alley, many people were around, and she just squatted and peed, then pulled up her long johns with her tutu tucked in the back of it and started to walk away. She was gonna find him come hell or high water, even with the whole backside of her tutu tucked into her long johns and wearing converse, of course.

A lot of things she wore didn’t go together, like long johns with big baggy overall shorts and a frilly blouse with cowboy boots. It doesn’t make a lot of sense but you would have to know Demri to understand.” [6]

Late 80s

[modelartist-demri]

I know this blog is for Demri's career, but I'd like to know something about her personal life. What was her relatioship with the other AIC members? And their girlfriends? Do you know? Thank you very much, you have a lovely blog here, very underrated, I hope more people find it and share it, as sadly today Demri is more remembered bc her Layne/AIC connexion or drugs than for her own careers.

I actually don't know, there's very few photos of Demri with AIC members or their girlfriends.

This is the only photo of her with the band (plus girlfriends that no one seems to recognize, from the 1991 MTV Awards). They look all in friendly terms:

She was touring with the band when they were opening for Van Halen. She stopped doing that when it became "an issue" (so I've read, I suppose it means drugs).

There's some photos of Demri with Sean Kinney (aka the funny drummer), from 1990 and 1991:

And one with Mike Starr, from 1991 as well... shared by fan Mike Anderchek @anderchekmike:

She was also close to his sister Melinda (in 1988 by Randy Houser):

No photos with Jerry, aka "The Riff Lord" (who was the closest to Layne, like matching tattoos, lived together before AIC signed in, etc), but with one of his girlfriends at a time (he dated multiple women, saying he doesn't believe in monogamy), Krisha Augerot. They actually worked together, so maybe Krisha met Jerry through Demri?

Krisha (and Jerry, but not in this photo) would join Demri and Layne with Fabiola and other friends for drumming circles at Magnuson Park. This is from 1989 (all the info here...):

Demri also joined AIC in 1992 when took regufee at theJoshua Tree park flying over the LA riots after the murder of Rodney King by the police. I've just seen pics of Demri and Layne,no other band members or their couples.

I don't know anything about Mike Inez, he replaced Mike Starr in 1993, but I don't think she was close to him...

It would be interesting to know more about her friendship with the band and the other girlfriends. I'm pretty sure when they were touring together the women had so fun visiting all these cool places and cheering backstage or, in Demri's case, front row!

Wake up

Summary: A sleepover at Melinda's house, ends up with feelings silently being shown:)

Wordcount: 284 words

Warnings: None, just fluff:)

A/N: He's been on my mind since forever, and there's very little Mike Starr imagines, so here you go<3 (Also just look at him, he's so cute<33)

Like, comment, share and reblog are always appreciated!:)

,,Wake up, it's time to rise and shine! Plus, breakfast's ready, and I don't think you would wanna miss that!''

,,Oh, shut up, Mike!''

You and Melinda said in unison, but that wouldn't hold Mr. Starr back from trying to pry you two out of your comfortable warm beds.

,,Mom's making pancakes, the chocolate ones, so it would be a little bit sad, if I'd have to eat them alone.''

Melinda looked at you, who didn't even hear half the conversation, trying her best to figure out, how to get her brother out of her room, but ultimately deciding to just get up and go into the kitchen, waiting for you (little forgetful Melinda xD).

,,Getting your beauty sleep, huh?''

,,Mhm, I guess...''

,,Come on, Y/N, you really don't wanna miss out on those pancakes!''

,,Alright, alright, give me a second...''

The second was a second too long, and Mike decided to just scoop you out of bed, but now carrying you out.

,,Are you gonna carry me downstairs or what?''

,,If you're awake, then yes.''

,,Well, then...''

If you weren't awake before, you surely were now. Mike let you back onto the floor, stepping to the side to let you through the door.

,,Thank you.''

,,Of course.''

Walking down together, Melinda already had a curious smile on her face, the whole breakfast through. At the end (when you and Mike were not supervised for a second), he decided to be brave, just like you, which ended in a kiss, turning him red as ever.

,,If this happens every time I wake you up, I-''

,,I'd love to do that again.''

,,Yeah...''

Another kiss, another hug, and a whole lotta questions from Melinda;)

This past month has been an incredibly difficult time for me, my family and close friends. October was the anniversary of my husband’s passing and my dad’s, they passed 3 days apart from one another (same month, year). Demri’s brother Devin died on the same day as my husband. Demri passed October 29, 1996, her brother Derek, passed February 2002 and now her youngest sibling and friend, not only to me, but to so many others; Dave, Nov. 7th. • I started making the memory boxes as a way to keep myself motivated and my mind positive. I started with a box I made for my closest friend Paul Hernandez, using all of his photos, then Melinda & Gayle Starr, one for Demri’s mom Kathleen & most recently, I made one for photographer, Krista Kay. • I refurbished 3 of my jewelry boxes, I using all her photos. I’m in the middle of making 2 that are pictured (pics 2-4). I would like to mention that I also make these for my own mental health. It helps me stay in a positive mind set. Photographer and friend Alison Dyer has given me her blessing in making these boxes. • Some info: I use cigar boxes & some other wooden boxes. I’m very picky about the boxes and they are not cheap. All of the products I work with; paint, brushes, mediums, decor, it’s all chosen just for the boxes. Nothing else. • I’ve been working with @demri_lara_parrott and she’s been fielding inquiries for me. Please contact her if you have any inquiries. • —————————————————— #nehistripesseattle #demrinlayne #demriparrott #laynestaley #demriparrottmurphy #demrilara #loved #justlikeheaven #laynendemri #forevertogether #memoryboxes❤️ (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsQvunr1U_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Watching Star Wars as an Avenger must be funny because you've got:

Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight and Poe Dameron

Natalie Portman as Jane Foster and Padme Amidala

Paul Bettany as Dryden Vos and Vision/Jarvis

Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia and Maz Kanata

Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and Mace Windu

Mads Mikkelsen as Galen Erso and Kaecillus

Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, Keller, and Orson Krennic

Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May and Fennec Shand

Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian and Aaron Davis

Andy Serkis as Snoke and Ulysses Klaue

Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera and Zuri

Hannah John-Kamen as a minor role in Force Awakens and as Ava Starr

Benicio del Toro as DJ and the Collector

Richard Armitage as a Naboo pilot and Hydra assassin

Jon Favreau as Rio Durant, Pre Vizsla, Paz Vizsla, and Happy Hogan

Stellan Skarsgard as a future character and Erik Selvig

Richard E Grant in the First Order and Classic Loki

Cailey Fleming as young Rey and young Sylvie

Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Claire Temple

Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra and a future character

Not all of them are obvious, but sometimes just hearing a voice or seeing a background character makes me wonder where I once saw someone, so I included minor characters and voice acting. But do they ever just turn on a movie and are like, "Hey, she kind of looks like the Cavalry, right?"

[alexeishostakoff]

maria hill has seen a lot of things during her time with shield.

she's held her tongue while fury made monsters, stood by as hundreds were killed.

but the ghost initiative?

there, she draws the line.

she marches into fury's office, all rage and determination in a way he hasn't seen before, three of his best agents at her side.

he didn't think that hill would tell romanoff, carter, and may.

didn't think that she would do a lot of things, actually, but he knows now that he should've remembered that she was always full of surprises.

she issues an ultimatum: they actually help ava, or the four of them tear the agency to the ground.

it's a little much for may's taste, but it's a matter of principle, and so she stays by hill's side.

the next thing that the four agents know, they have a new little sister and helen cho has flown in to help find a cure.

they should've thought this through more.
