Ta-da! I’m so excited to share this photo of gorgeous singer\/songwriter Skylar Grey<\/a> wearing the crossed-ax necklace I custom-made for her.<\/p>\n

Click to enlarge. Warning: Everyone who has seen this picture has become hypnotized by Skylar’s perfect skin.<\/p><\/div>\n

The crossed axes are Skylar’s logo. You can see it on this sticker.<\/p>\n

I’ve been carrying this in my purse for a month, looking for a good place to stick it.<\/p><\/div>\n

I wrote at length about Skylar when I saw her perform at Le Poisson Rouge<\/a> during her tour to promote her new album Don’t Look Down<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Click the photo of me and Skylar below to read that post, which goes over her bio and includes some pretty awesome performance photos, if I do say so myself!<\/p>\n

If you look closely at the picture above, you’ll note that I’m wearing a crossed-ax necklace and Skylar is not. That’s because Skylar’s tour started before I could get her 18K gold necklace and matching earrings to her. Skylar’s right-hand man and I decided it would be too risky to send the pieces to her while she was on the road. So I wore the gold-plated silver samples to give her a preview.\u00a0 Here’s a closer look at the sample necklace …<\/p>\n

… and the matching stud earrings.<\/p>\n

Skylar’s personal versions of these pieces have little diamonds in them — one on each ax. After all, it’s her logo, so she should have something special.<\/p>\n

Don’t Look Down<\/em> debuted in Billboard’s Top 10<\/a>, so congrats to Skylar for that! You can buy the album on iTunes here<\/a>. I truly love the whole album but if you want to try on some songs for size, I highly recommend “Final Warning” (which I wrote about here<\/a>) and its spooky video<\/a>; “Wear Me Out,” which my friend Jen listens to so much that her young son hums it to himself even when it’s not on; and “Shit, Man!,” which features one of my new favorite rappers, Angel Haze. I also like “Invisible<\/a>,” which isn’t on this album but can be purchased on iTunes. (The first lines of “Invisible”: “I take these pills to make me thin\/I dye my hair, and cut my skin\/I try everything, to make them see me\/But all they see, is someone that’s not me.”) If you’re not an iTunes person and buy actual CDs (people still do that, I hear), you should get your copy from Target<\/a> because it has two great bonus songs: “Beautiful Nightmare” and “Weirdo.”<\/p>\n

As far as live performances go, if you’re in Los Angeles this week, Skylar is performing at the Grammy Museum on Thursday. Click here<\/a> to buy tickets. If you’re not going to be around for that, you can keep your eye on her Twitter feed<\/a> for news on other appearances. Also check out Skylar Grey News<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n

And if you love the idea of ax jewelry, I’ve got single ax studs in\u00a018K gold ($450)<\/a> and sterling silver ($70)<\/a>.\u00a0 Hmm … I already had gold sword earrings<\/a> named for Empress Matilda. My earlobes are getting quite deadly! <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
