Pixie Lott on the July 2011 cover of Company Magazine

Lipsy – £45.00

River Island – sold out

Galibardy – £18.00

Pixie Lott appears on the cover of Company Magazine’s July 2011 issue wearing clothes from her own Pixie Lott Collection at Lipsy London. The 20-year-old singer reveals that she loves borrowing bodysuits that her mother used to wear when she was Pixie’s age. Regarding her celebrity inspirations, she states: “My style icons will always be Edie Sedwick and Brigitte Bardot but if I could raid anyone’s wardrobe it’d probably be Alexa Chung’s. I love the way she dresses, she always looks so cool.”

The British singer spent two months in Los Angeles recording her second album and says she loved shopping in America, but prefers the more unique styles of people in the UK: “British fashion is definitely the best because it can be so individual and quirky – it’s more forward. Americans are more glamourous, especially in LA, but you see so many more cool cats walking around London.”

She shows off that quirky look on the cover with clashing floral prints – a Pixie for Lipsy Bandeau Ruffle Playsuit and Cream Print Platform Wedge Sandals from River Island, toughened up with Galibardy’s Roaring Tiger Ring.

Christina Grimmie interviewed by MTV on June 13, 2011

17-year-old singer and pianist Christina Grimmie became known through her YouTube channel zeldaxlove64, where she posts covers of popular artists from Katy Perry to Justin Bieber. She released her debut album of original songs, Find Me, on June 14, 2011 on iTunes. She will be opening for Selena Gomez on tour this summer.

In a recent interview with MTV News, she wore this Shredded Varsity Sweater which is available at Nasty Gal for $58.00.

Christina tells MTV “My fashion is punk rock. I wear skinny jeans and t-shirts all the time. Even this shirt is a little different for me. I’m trying to get into other things, but the heart of me is t-shirt and jeans and my sneakers.”

Sierra Kusterbeck uses her wisdom teeth as plugs

When I had my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago, I was asked whether I wanted to keep the teeth. The choice was obvious – why would I want to throw away something as awesome as my own teeth! Of course the next question is, what do you do with a tooth? And it occurred to me that it would be really awesome to have them silver-plated and turned into jewelry. I still haven’t done that, mostly because I am lazy but I also because I have no idea how one even goes about finding someone to silver-plate a tooth.

Its seems I’m not alone in thinking that wisdom teeth would make great jewelry. Sierra Kusterbeck skipped the step of having them made into jewelry and just put her wisdom teeth into her stretched earlobes as plugs. Responding to criticism over her odd choice of jewelry, Sierra wrote: “If you’ve had your wisdom teeth taken out, you know how it’s the opposite of cheap. This is basically the most expensive jewelry I own!”

Sierra did of course sanitize the teeth before putting them in her ears, but they still aren’t the most practical choice of jewelry. I’m no expert on stretching, but I’ve heard that using plugs which are not round is bad for your ears since the pressure is not applied evenly. And there is nothing to hold the teeth in place. In fact, Sierra says “they fell out from rolling around on stage too much.” I hope she didn’t lose them, because they still could make really awesome plugs if she had them put into a setting.

Ke$ha is also a fan of wearing teeth, though she has an extra resource to tap – she’s asked her fans to send her their teeth. It started with one bizarre gift. She told Rolling Stone magazine “Somebody sent me their tooth, which I now wear as an earring. It’s a molar, I think. I love it when people send me body parts.” Ke$ha decided to take things further, posting on her Twitter a call for fans to send her their teeth along with a PO Box to send them to.

“I’ve received 1 tooth from a fan. I made it into a neclace. But now I really wanna make a fan tooth necklace to wear to an awards show.”

“So. What I’m getting at is please send me your teeth. I’m dead serious. I need your teeth.”

“Wisdom teeth?? Cmon. Yall got some of those laying around.”

It seems to have worked. Ke$ha now has a stockpile of teeth, but still needs to get them made into something wearable.

“THANK U!!My amazeballz fans haveSOfar sent in teeth coming to 164 teeth total. Oh…and one cut off dread.”

“i recycle bodyparts. im looking at all my crazybeautiful fans teeth right now!! i got a box of em and ive never been so excited !!!”

human tooth jewelry by Polly van der Glas - etsy.com/shop/vanderglas

Two Etsy sellers have taken to crafting human teeth into jewelry with very different aesthetics. Polly van der Glas sets her pieces in smooth silver bands that give a modern look and let the teeth speak for themselves. She says “Teeth are sentimental, recycled, beautiful and somehow unusual. We see teeth every day, but in this context they are incredible.” Loved to Death plays up the perceived creepiness of the teeth by adorning them with intricate filigree in a gothic Victorian style.

What do you think – is turning teeth into jewelry awesome or vile? Would you wear your own teeth? Or someone else’s?

How would you describe your personal style?
70s male rock star goes female.

Do you have any other inspirations or influences?
Yeah – Southwestern, Navajo, Indian, gypsy, some type of kinda witchy type thing, renaissance, 70s – bell bottoms, boots. I love cutting up my shirts and making them halters like this. Things that dangle, like this bathing suit top. Lots of scarves, you can tie them in places so that they drape. Hats, I’m really into hats.

What do you think that your clothes say about you?
Well if I have to talk about myself that way, I guess I would say that I’m an artist. I like to use what is my body is as like a…I don’t know, you’re putting yourself out there. This is what you’re selling, and this is who I am, and I like to show people with my tattoos and my clothing and all that the kind of person I am.

What are the best and worst trends that you’ve seen around Warped Tour?
Best trend is hair color – blues, greens, yellows, pinks – all of it. Fucking awesome. I have pink in mine, and orange.  I made these 90s Mexican vintage bags I’ve actually been seeing girls wear, so anything like that is pretty cool.  Boots.
Worst – I would say is a lot of makeup. I mean, I get it, you’re putting on a show, but doing that every day and then having to wear it in this heat?  I don’t know, kids are getting really stylish these days. I haven’t seen anything that I’m like “no, don’t do that” – except the banana guy,  “why are you wearing a banana?”
