Rebel Girl & Kathleen Hanna



Kathleen Hanna is one of my heroes. Not only is she a fearless musician with the best high-pony in the neighborhood, but she's also an outspoken feminist who helped get the 3rd (?) wave of the feminism movement going in the 90's with her brand of riot grrrl music. Kathleen is most well known for Bikini Kill, but is also famous for her bands Le Tigre and The Julia Ruin.

I have been a fan girl for awhile and almost named Olivia Cat-leen Hanna! I also performed in a cover band show with some friends a few year ago. When putting together this outfit I was thrilled when I realized who it reminded me of. Obviously I had to copy her signature ponytail to complete the look. All of the pieces in this outfit are thrifted. However, the back patch came from a shirt that belonged to one of my cousins when we were younger. It's Brandon and Dylan from 90210!
