❣️🖤❤️ #MCRLA3 | 11 Years ago, I saw @mychemicalromance live for the 1st time with my B.F.F. @michelleee_413 at @redrockcasino. Little did I know it would also be the last time I would see them perform together before they would disband 2 years later. For the next 6 years I would see @frankieromustdie live 3 times, @gerardway’s comic book series @umbrellaacad would be adapted into a successful TV show running for 3 seasons & all 4 members would release a total of 7 separate music projects (Gerard & @raytoro’s solo projects, @mikeyway’s band & Frank’s 4 -that’s right FOUR- solos/bands). The band would announce their reunion at the end of 2019 along with a world tour. I would purchase my tickets at the very beginning of 2020 & a couple months later due to covid the entire tour would be postponed 3 times within the next 3 years… Finally, on October 14th, 2022 - along with my other half @pointblakevideos at @thekiaforum, I would see them all together again for the 2nd time. (I would also leave with a little souvenir… ☠️🔥 It was a rough next couple of weeks of recovery, but thank goodness I was fully vaccinated - definitely worth it..! 👻) Since 2006, this has been my all-time favorite band. Their music has been a driving force of artistic inspiration for me since the beginning of junior high into adulthood. I have never given up on them. I never could. Whether their next projects are together or separate, I look forward to whatever comes next. Thank you #MyChemicalRomance!!! Besides God & my B.F.F. you have been one of the those rare constants in my life & just like them I pray you will be #Always~ ❤️🖤❣️ [All photos & videos/songs in order- I. #MCRLA night 3 of 5?! 🤘🏽💀🔥 II.

✨💙💜 #HappyHalloween from #Sadness & #Fear~! 🫶🏽🥺💫 #Blue & #Purple were our wedding colors so it was inevitable that we would dress up as these two, not only to be able to wear each others colors but also to represent our true main #emotions… Literally. This is us at our cores. The #cautions & the #emo~ 😱😭 My entire outfit (pullover sweater, pants & boots + the button up & vest) are all thrifted from @thredup! @pointblakevideos modeled (using #Blender) & #3DPrinted my glasses, his bow tie & those amazing eyes!! 👏🏽👀 Also no, that is not a blue wig but my actual hair in temporary color spray!!! 🌀 Especially after staying up ‘til 4AM to finish & photograph these costumes + another year of #Inktober out of the way, you could say I am ready for a break… (Except I’m already in the middle of planning our costumes for next year~ 👻) 🏷 #halloween #insideout #pixar #animation #costume #cosplay #art #painting #building #3dprinting #thrifting #thriftloudly #MMXXII (at La Crescenta-Montrose) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZz6mFrrC5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
