Randi Russo

If there’s one person to make us trudge over to Avenue A in the cold weather, it’s Randi Russo, who will be playing on January 30th at Sidewalk Cafe. And as if you didn’t enjoy Randi’s awesomeness enough already, here’s more with this enigmatic songstress…

I LOVE my shirt:
Randi: I can’t go wrong with a black tank top. It’s almost pretty standard for me, especially when I play shows.

I LOVE my jeans:
Randi: I wear jeans about 98% of the time. I try branching out and putting on corduroys, but I never find them as comfortable as jeans. Summertime is when I wear skirts and dresses, but once the cooler weather hits, I’m in jeans.

I LOVE my boots:
Randi: Boots give a little height, which is nice… something about feeling temporarily taller gives a little lift in confidence as well. I feel much more commanding in boots than in sneakers (makes perfect sense, right?). Like black tank tops, boots are my shoes of choice when I perform.

I LOVE my tattoo:
Randi: Hmm, sometimes I love my tattoo and sometimes I don’t. It’s based on a drawing I made. I had such an obsession with gargoyles at the time so I guess I wanted one on my shoulder. I like the symbolism of gargoyles — they’re meant to scare the evil spirits away. Not quite sure how good of a job it’s doing!

I LOVE my necklace:
Randi: This necklace was a recent birthday gift. I love the silver (I’m not into gold) and I love how it’s got this ‘tribal’ thing going on. It really makes a statement. …which is good when you’re a girl in just a black tank top and some jeans.

I LOVE my watch:
Randi: I do I love my watch because my parents gave it to me and I like the sleekness and simplicity of the black leather band and a silver face (matches my necklace perfectly!). I don’t like wearing a watch all the time but I guess I’m just addicted to wearing one because my day job requires me to be on time and to keep a tight schedule going to several locations throughout the day.

But after saying all this, ultimately, I’m not much of a jewelry person. I do wear my watch pretty much daily, but it’s rare that you’ll see me wearing anything else. I occasionally like to wear a necklace but I never really wear any rings, earrings or bracelets. It’s a little too much for me. I like to keep things on the low-down and simple.
