For jamethiel-bane - bendy Lyn-Z is bendy!
jamethiel-bane wanted squee sent, and this was my response to her picspam promt of "bendy." Sorry sweetie - this was going to be finished last night, but then I got kind of distracted. (Which, seriously - if you guys haven't read The Lines You Amend yet, GO! Do it! I really don't see how it could ever disappoint you!)
This is Lyn-Z (Her stage name. Her real name is Lyndsey - or possibly Lindsey, I've seen it both ways - Bellato and I will never cease to love this woman with all of my heart and soul for how much she throws herself into her stage persona.)
She is married to Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, but she'd really appriciate it if people would stop paying attention to her only because of who she is married to. I will be the first to admit that I only ever heard of her because of Gerard, but that is SO not why I kept paying attention!
She is SO awesome on her own terms despite the fact that her music isn't really my cup of tea. I just have an insane amount of respect for her as a person (and the fact that she is one of the single hottest people I've ever seen in my life doesn't hurt things either. The combination of brains, looks and talents is DEADLY to me)
She plays bass for a band called Mindless Self Indulgence. (Their music ... not really so much to my taste, although I do have a few songs of theirs that I enjoy. Here! Have a zip! You can still love them as performers and dislike most of their music, at least that is what I keep telling myself. :-D)
I will start us off easy with Lyn-Z riding the mechanical bull. (Seriously, the look of glee on her face! I think that my 5 year old cousin had that same expression on her face when she rode one last week for her birthday)
Perhaps just a simple picture of her playing bass. But allow me to draw your attention her ankles - she is totally sitting on the ground in this shot. Flexible!
I really love the lighting on this shot - it makes her look like she is caught in some kind of a trance.
Another lovely shot of her awesome twisty, turny act while playing. I kind of really wish that I could see them live, just to see that in person!
Part one of her signature move. Impressive enough for anyone I think.
BUT THEN! Then she bends almost entirely in half! BACKWARDS! And still nails her bass lines!
Which is tiring yo. But never fear - she can STILL nail her parts while playing lying flat on the floor!
She just looks so awesomely mischievous in this picture! But I'd also like to call your attention to her leg placement. Now, I know that I am pretty much the least flexible person on the planet, but that is pretty impressive to me!
I know that crowd surfing isn't technically bendy. But it is so hardcore!
Um, this is maybe in here because I am SHALLOW. But seriously, is she not just the most attractive person in the history of EVER?!
Gah - I can't seem to find a link to the interview where she talks about intentionally choosing to wear school girl outfits while on stage to fuck with the scene's virgin/whore dichotomy, but that is her reasoning. Talk about a simultaneous reclaiming and fuck you!
More of her awesome playing bent over backwards. IT JUST NEVER GETS LESS AWESOME! ♥
Look! She flies through the air with the greatest of ease!
More on the floor playing. She once said in one of her interviews that she didn't even know how to play the bass when she joined the band and she still doesn't think that she plays it very well. I am still impressed by her willingness to play in all of these contorted positions!
This is the first picture of her that I ever saw. I was skimming through someone's random picspam and it just caught my eye. I couldn't stop staring at it, because damn is that a visually arresting image!
And a karate chop! Take that crowd! *g*
*admires* GOD I love her!
Holding the bass like a trophy! Her legs being all flexible!
And, you know, her ability to almost do the splits. That is pretty bendy too. *g*
And I leave you with this one - quite possibly my favorite picture of her EVER! *beams* She is hot, she is bendy, and she is one of the most intelligent, well spoken, AWESOME women I've ever crushed on from afar. You should all love her too! :-D
