Hello! I absolutely adore this blog! I have two questions related to Demri Parrott.

1) Are there any clothing/jewelry pieces that Demri liked a lot and wore in numerous photos?

2) Are there any Demri Parrott blogs on Tumblr (or elsewhere) that are active?

Thanks so much!

Aw! thank you so very much!

Demri loved to wear vintage clothes and many pieces that she altered or designed herself. She wore tuts with combat boots, victorian jewellery... I'll post some photos and memories from some friends that knew her:

[1988 by Krista Kay]

Barbara Dearaujo: 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 Martens, 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.

Cindy Reframe: “I remember seeing her at house parties and also would see her fully headbanging good and proper in the front row at Alice In Chains gigs, like gigs at the Off Ramp where she would be wearing the Levi’s cutoffs with tights, flannel shirt, combat boots and black leather jacket, long-long light brown kind of loose curls in her hair and dark plum lipstick. Other than that I think she would sometimes wear kind of like babydoll dresses with combat boots or something like that.”

[Spring 1990, by Krista Kay]

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!”

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

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.”

Amber Ferrano: “Demri left her stuff everywhere. She’d come in, get naked and go through your closet and get dressed again making it cooler than you ever thought.

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.”

Tracy Johnson: “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.”

[Demri and Layne around one of the many Christmas they spent together.]

Lea Nichols: “She always wore my bracelet I had made in high school out of some silverware and scribed my name in it. She has it on in most photos [We don't know which one does she mean tho]. It curves and wraps around in abnormal shape. She told me every time I saw her how much she loved it.”

Demri loved stopping at thrift stores. Tapestries, hats and hippie dresses were her favorite finds. She was also so tiny she had to alter her clothes. According to her mother, Demri was barely five feet tall and never weighed more than a hundred pounds.

In all the following photos she's wearing her mum Kathleen's choker from the 1960s that had purple beads (thanks A for the compilation!):

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]

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.”

[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]

do you have any photos of demri wearing her engagement ring?

do you know any of her favorite artists or art styles? as in visual art

Hi there!

So we don't know if actually Demri is wearing her engagement ring or not in these fall 1993 photos (it's not clear when she and Layne cancelled their engagement but presumably in 1994). It was a claddagh ring (you cannot see it well in these photos, sadly):

Maybe here too? We don't know the exact date of these photos. She was always wearing big earrings, lots of necklaces and bracelets but not rings, looks like.

Sometimes the heart can be a stone, we don't now if that was the came or was the classing claddagh, but it had a stone, maybe is this one? (photo from 1992)

As for her artists or art styles, she loved Victorian decor, angels and so,and her favourite artist was Brian Froud, a British illustrator, you may find more information under the tag used on our site, and particulary this post.

Hope that helps!
