I already got to ask Ash a whole bunch of my own questions when I interviewed her at Warped Tour in June, but I learned some new things from the twitterview like that she dyes her hair with Manic Panic’s “Raven” black and “Electric Lava” orange dyes and uses their “Vampyre’s Veil” compact. She’s also a fan of Urban Decay’s “Oil Slick” black eyeshadow.
Recently Ash has been talking about dying her hair a silvery white and posted inspiration photos on her tumblr, but she’s concerned about damaging her hair, which is naturally black. “It took me forever to grow it this long, I’d die if I wrecked it. We’ll see!,” she writes. Should she do it? I think it would look great on her with heavy black eyeshadow and red lips, but the damage is a legitimate concern, especially once she decides to change back to another color. Hair dye tends not to hold properly on hair once it’s been bleached, and I can tell you that from “why is this pink? It’s supposed to be red!” experience. I’m glad that mess is grown out!

Ash Costello managed to get her hands on another pair of amazing shoes from Gasoline Glamour – I’m jealous! Like her previous pair these shoes are covered in square Swarovski stones, but these peep toe pumps are accented with red rhinestones – the cause of the name “Bloodbath Pumps” – as well as strands of white crystals and giant spikes all along the heel. She pairs them with her Wolford bandage tights and a black and white striped long-sleeve mini dress.

Ash Costello is wearing Gasoline Glamour’s Pavement Shoes, which are covered in Swarovski stones. Gasoline Glamour shoes are all hand-made and cost in the thousands of dollars. They are mostly loaned out for photoshoots and music videos (Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne have both worn their shoes in magazines and DEV wears this same pair in her “Bass Down Low” video), so I don’t think Ash actually owns this pair, especially since she captioned the photo “give ME THIS HEELS AND NO ONE WILL GET HURT.” But a girl can dream…

me and Ash Costello at Warped Tour in San Antonio, TX on June 26, 2011
Last weekend I interviewed New Years Day lead singer Ash Costello at Warped Tour. She spills about her recent tattoos and plans for her next, why she see band’s outfits as an important part of the show, and ripping all her favorite tights.
New Years Day are playing Warped Tour through July 10th and are following it up with their own West Coast tour. It’s been a while since the band’s 2007 debut LP My Dear, but it’s safe to say that New Years Day are back. They just put out their new EP The Mechanical Heart on Hollywood Waste Records and released a music video for the lead single “Two in the Chest, One in the Head.”

Though this outfit is obviously a costume, Native American inspired looks are quite trendy right now, and Minnetonka‘s fringe boots have been worn by Sierra Kusterbeck, Cassadee Pope, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez.
