COACHELLA 2013: Makeup, mohawks, beer and camping

Camping makes getting your fashion on a little tougher, but it’s totally worth it, according to Jen Marlowe.

She’s at her 11th Coachella festival, and her first in the campgrounds. Being able to bring in your own beer instead of paying for it inside the festival grounds was especially nice, she said.

She would highly recommend camping, even though it meant she couldn’t do the kind of makeup and fashion she usually does.

“It’s super hard to look cute when you’re camping,” said Marlowe, of Ventura County.

She could have fooled me. The sunglasses with little daisies around the rims that she made herself were especially awesome.

She is here with Evan Funnell, who had an easier time getting his mohawk on from the campgrounds.

Marlowe loves Coachella so much, she came four and a half months pregnant one year. Her daughter isn’t getting to come see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs this year, but at least she was once here in utero.

A highlight this year for Marlowe is going to be Wild Belle at noon on Sunday. Funnell couldn’t name just one band he was most wanting to see. I know the feeling.
