Daikaiju ATTACKS Howlers in Pittsburgh PA. - GO!

My boyfriend is a huge Daikaiju fan so we had an experience!. ♥       


....Masks, flames, crowd surfs, at one point Secret-man
Guitar was ripping with his head on my lap.

Daikaiju puts out some serious surf-rock-metal jams && they give you an unbelievable show while they’re doing it.

They keep their identities secret with their kabuki masks and their lack of verbal communication. They’re also really into setting things on fire and ending each show by always lighting up their van and instruments.

My boyfriend’s a big fan of these guys so when I saw that they were coming to Pittsburgh I grabbed us some tickets. I’m pretty sure I was the only person who actually ordered physical tickets. 
(I save the stubs.)

We showed up to Howler’s in Pittsburgh ready for a show, but I seriously had no idea what I was going to see.

There were flames right in front of my face. There was crowd surfing…which completely gave me a panic attack, but I was a small part of it before it did. There was even a point where we were sitting on the floor and the lead guitarist had his head on my lab while he was playing. 

It was something straight out of a nightmare or maybe The Purge... It was impressive!. Even if it's not your scene, you have to appreciate their theatrics and undeniable musical talent. I have no musical abilities but my boyfriend is very skilled on the bass, so he knew these guys were worth it from the start. When you see Daikaiju live it's pretty obvious to everyone that they can rip.

I’d highly recommend seeing these guys if they ever attack your city.

Daikaiju ATTACKS!

The Loveliest


I had the opportunity to be a part of a lovely holiday photoshoot! ♥

Last week I was one of five women who responded to an Instagram post put up by The Loveliest Co. They were looking for volunteers to model their new Holiday items for their boutique. I guess I was one of the first to respond because they gave me the go ahead to join them!

Can we just talk about how HUGE of a deal it is to me that I even responded to their post in the first place?! Me. Sophia. Sophia who has always been full of anxiety and whose self-esteem truly couldn’t sink any lower most days… I responded to a modeling call for the cutest boutique/coffee shop in the Pittsburgh area…& They said okay!

Last week I showed up to The Loveliest with my nerves through the roof and with a weird anxious quiver in my jaw that was very noticeable every time I tried to smile for a photo. I did my absolute best to put up a strong front though, and to tell my fears to kick rocks.

The other women I met were wonderful. Some were mothers just like me, and all of them were kind and admirable. It’s a unique thing to take such intimate shots with people you’ve only just met. I had a delightful time trying on the most beautiful outfits and posing with the cutest holiday props.

The Loveliest

How cute are these outfits though?! The braided sleeve sweater with the chunky scarf was so cozy. & The oversized cream sweater with the pink satin hair bow was so sweet! I fell completely in love with that outfit.

The Loveliest is a spot that really delivers in every way. It’s a business ran by women who want to empower other women. I’m so glad that I was able to take part in this Holiday shoot, and I hope to be more involved in future events they’ll be hosting.

I’m extremely proud of myself for taking a little leap out of my comfort zone this month. Witnessing all of these women creating their own paths in life has sparked a fire in me to figure out how I want my story to unfold from this point on.

♥ Thank you to The Loveliest for including and inspiring me.
