I've had Billy Joel fever for about 6 months.
I can, will and have listened to the Glass Houses and The Stranger CDs about a billion times.
And his new song? Turn the Lights Back On. Absolutely glorious. His music has been my escape, sanctuary, and a block from negative shit.
So it only made sense that I was going to become a man for Halloween. I don't look good as a dude though. Yikes. I'm definitely giving girl's PE coach vibes.
"What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?"
I based my costume from his 'You May be Right' (absolutely love that song) video:
Here's a few very classic sullen Joel looks:
The head to toe:
White tie, white sneakers:
Went light on the props, but did have me a Piano Man Tips jar:
For my photo shot background I was able to get into the music hall at the University with their fancy Steinway grand piano!
"You may be right. I may be crazy. Ho! But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for."
I do love me some Billy Joel (big fan of "You May Be Right", "Anthony's Song", "My Life", and more)! You make a smashing Mr Joel!
ReplyDeleteBless you Jennilee! I'm a bit creeped out over myself!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I live in Billy Joel Country(Long Island) I know most of his early albums by heart. I did not keep up after Glass Houses but of course, I have a soft spot for him. You look great!!!!!!! I love the costume. I did not have to watch the video to know his look in it. I guess you wouldn't do the older bald Billy next time.......
ReplyDeleteHa! I don't think I'll ever do the Billy Joel bald look! Funny to think about though! ~mary~
