Born in the conservative Texas town of Port Arthur, Janis Joplin's talent landed her in the halls of the rock and roll greats of the 1960s.

| Look at this picture. Look at the people in the background. She is a riot of color in this drab setting.... |
A vastly complex woman who reeled between music styles and clothing style Janis was a whirlwind of color. A true tour de force she carved out her own niche in the rock industry with her heart felt blues style vocals....Janis became a member of the famous 27 club when she overdosed and unfortunately died from heroin usage.
I look to Janis whenever I feel like an outfit that I have put together is too "loud" or "odd" or "off the wall". I think to myself that maybe I have gone over board when Janis' gravely voice pops into my head telling me "hey fuck em girl if they can't love you". Janis had a flare for the colorful and dramatic, she embodied the late 60's counter culture style while keeping something that was purely her. Here's to you Janis....you and Bobby McGee.
