Yes, the glitter queen of pop music and dollar $ign$ is making an appearance in the ATL this Wednesday! At 8 pm Ke$ha and her Get $leazy Tour will perform at the Tabernacle, later after-partying it up at Opera Nightclub. Opera tickets cost about $60 less than the actual concert tickets, so I know which venue I will be hitting up
 but that eternal question arises: what will I wear?
 
If you’re one of us then roll with us

 
When you think of Ke$ha, the first thing that comes to mind is glitter, animal prints, and crazy vibrant colors—so that’s exactly what you should wear! Anything that sparkles is totally appropriate, and anything that doesn’t, better have leopard spots or feathers.
 
‘Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
 
Two words: hair feathers. This hippie-ish trend has exploded and can be seen on celebs and Emory girls alike, and especially on Ke$ha, in colors ranging from natural-looking earth tones to vibrant striped neon. The feathers only take about 10 minutes to insert and last over a month. You can still straighten and curl your hair with them in too! If you missed the Hair Feather Bash on the sorority lawn last Wednesday, you can get them for around $45 at salons—or wait and see if another Hair Feather Bash is hosted!

And we’ve got our hot pants on and up

 
 Dear American Apparel: thank you for producing so many neon-colored leggings; sincerely, the millions of college girls sporting them (and the college guys admiring them). Ke$ha basically demands you wear a pair of these “hot pants,” or at the very least a skin-tight bandage skirt. These zippered leggings from American Apparel are a little pricey at $52, but they will definitely be a worthy investment for all neon parties in the future.
 
And yes, of course we does, we running this town just like a club
 
Speaking of running, what shoes do you wear to a Ke$ha concert? You could sport your go-to killer heels
 but you might have killer blisters after a night of
hard-core dancing to Tik Tok. Now is the time to think, What would Ke$ha wear? Here’s your answer: combat boots! Comfy and stylish, they will enhance your outfit and won’t destroy your heels! Check out Ke$ha rocking them to the right.
 
And no, you don’t wanna mess with us
 
Why not? Because your nails are so freaking fierce!! Now is the time for a shiny, sparkly, bright manicure with the most out-there colors available. I’m switching up my current periwinkle for either lime green or glittery red.
 
Got Jesus on my necklace
 
As far as jewelry go
es, the crazier the better. Chain necklaces, earrings, cuff bracelets, big rings and lots of them—this is your chance to literally pile all of your bling on at once… especially if you have a nose ring.
 
I’ve got that glitter on my eyes
 
You heard her—eye make-up to the max! Try that sparkly star-thing she’s got going on if you’re daring. If you want something exciting but less ridiculous, watch this two and a half minute Youtube tutorial for fierce glittery shadow that will stay on your lids and will not leave you blind:

Maybe skip out on the blue lipstick—you don’t want to look like you’ve been making out with Papa Smurf—but extra creative Ke$ha props if you do!
 
Stockings ripped all up the side
 
If you’re not wearing neon leggings, you should definitely rock some ripped up tights. However, it’s advised that you don’t wear them in place of leggings—Ke$ha’s pretty cray cray, but please wear a skirt or shorts over your destroyed stockings.
 
Looking sick and sexified
 
So let’s go-o-o! Now that you’ve piled on the glitz, sparkle, and bling, you are officially ready to rock it at Opera or the Tabernacle! I’ll see you there—if there’s not too much glitter in my eyes.
 
You know we’re superstars, we are who we are!
 
If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, you can get them starting at $85 for the Tabernacle and $25 for Opera at here and here!
