Death Comes Ripping

Today is the anniversary of the Queen Mums death 2 years ago. Yup, fireworks night - she went out with a bang!

I decided to honour her in a way she would have appreciated - cheekily. The Queen Mum had a wicked sense of humour and she swore like a sailor! Demure she wasn't. She also loved me in all my heavy metal splendour as a teenager, so it seems a fitting tribute to her to don my newly altered, ie hacked, 'Even Death Can Die' Obesity & Speed t-shirt.

If the Queen Mum had encountered the Grim Reaper that's exactly the sort of thing she would have said to him, "Even death can die, smart arse!".

The t-shirt is super cheesy. I'm not entirely sure it's actually meant to be cheesy but it makes me laugh anyway so I hope O&S mean it to be a playful poke at heavy metal.

I admire your way of expressing the feelings that are not easy to bring out.
the first and second photos are extremely beautiful!

I bet she's looking down on this cheeky tribute and giggling.

Very odd - my mother passed away on the 4th of July, the "fireworks" day here in the US. And she was a cheeky lady as well.

I knew there was a reason I liked this blog!

That's an awesome way to celebrate your mothers life...I bet she's proud!
And your hair is glorious!

Whatta nice idea...My mother left us on 11.11. many years ago, so now you why is that date important, but in a good way.
Nice pictures!
There are some interesting effects that occur when hacking of the oversize 80's sweaters. The effect is....surprising....worth trying

The Queen Mum would definitely be having a wee chuckle to herself if she saw the t-shirt.
