    In about a week, Paramore will play playing for some of the troops for VH1’s Diva’s Salute The Troops!!! We are so stoked for the opportunity. I got so psyched that I called up my friend/designer Jen (@bunnyjenny) and said “WE GOTTA MAKE SOMETHIN FOR DIS!” and so we brainstormed… Clearly, the obvious 1st choice was to make some type of army inspired uniform for the stage. Too obvious. So I got to thinking about my favorite women in the world. What would they do!? I searched around online and found this picture of Marilyn Monroe visiting the troops. Do you see how those men are looking at her like she is Jesus in heels?! This is it! So, Jen and I have remade this lovely look… with our own twist, for reasons that should already be perfectly clear. I mean, who actually wants to see me headbang in an evening dress? NOT ME!

    Can’t wait to rock it. Most people will probably hate it and say that I look insane… as usual… but hey, didn’t Gwen look nuts with blue hair and the fuzzy blue bra? And little Kim with her nipple tassles? Yeah, but you remember that shit don’t you!?

Paramore, Thanks for a great show and thank you to Josh and Jeremy for speaking with Pfc. Kayla White. Her Q&A along with some cool photos are posted to our unit's facebook site, "Granite Thunder," under "HIGH 5: Paramore Rocks Arifjan." It's the official site of the 197th Fires Brigade, a New Hampshire Army Guard unit that just began a deployment in Kuwait. Some funky pics of you, Hayley. You were moving too fast for our photographer to get a nice clear shot :)

Just wanted to say thank you from myself and all the troops stationed here in Kuwait. The show you all performed at Camp Arifjan was the best I've ever seen. I was 3 feet from the stage and had the best time. You all rock. Hope to catch you back in the States. Thanks again!!!!
