MY RUIN Singer Launches Online Boutique Store

March 17, 2009

Lead screamer Tairrie B of the Los Angeles-based hard rock band MY RUIN has launched a new web site/blog and online boutique store for Blasphemous Girl Designs. Tairrie's first new collection of 2009 is an eclectic range of one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted jewelry designs and conversational pieces that she refers to as wearable art created for the individual at heart.

Tairrie, who has always been heavily inspired by religious iconography within her lyrics and art surrounding MY RUIN, began Blasphemous Girl Designs as a cathartic accident a few years back when she was designing merch for her band, making custom-themed items for shows and tours. Soon she went from customizing rock t-shirts with her subversive slogans to leaving her trademark on everything from motorcycle jackets to denim vests. This being her first collection since her car accident in 2006, Tairrie is re-introducing BGD by creating over 100 pieces of jewelry for her launch based solely on mixing vintage metal chains, antique liquor tags, keyhole plates, patron saint medals, milagros, cameos and various antique religious keepsakes into unique religiously rock and roll-inspired covet-worthy adornments such as pendants, oversized cocktail rings, relics, wristbands and ex-votos. It is her limited-edition stained and cut stamped leather hearts which she has hand painted in honor of the original she created for the cover of MY RUIN's latest album and fifth full-length offering, "Throat Full of Heart", that are her true statement pieces. Tairrie also enlisted the editing skills/voiceover talents of good friend and fellow metal vocalist Rhiis Lopez of the band ANA KEFR to help her create a short commercial for BGD after lending her voice to the cover of "Step Back" by ROLLINS BAND, which she recorded (along with MY RUIN's Mick Murphy on guest solo duties) for AK's upcoming album "Volume 1".
