POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Since I'm heading back to IGA Park in Rostock this week, I realised I never actually posted the hand painted Sido jacket I made anywhere even though it's been over a year now... Soooo.. better late than never? 💀🥰

This took somewhere between 30-40 hours over 1.5 weeks, made for the @shawnstein show in Rostock back in 2025. It's still a work in progress that I hope to add to when the whim takes me, but I'm quite proud of it and it deserves to be posted despite it being a bit late 🤪🤍

Hyped for new music 🙏

All photos of me wearing it are 📸 @beautyatmatrix

Mel's typical just-been-in-Berlin-Fernsehturm-posting 🤍 And one photo of a yellow ladder that I just really liked. 😌

Thanks @beautyatmatrix for the behind the scenes of photo 4 😂

Colour hunt. Berlin. March 2026.

Randomly* assigned ourselves a colour to search for during our trip. We made such pretty art at the end.

*Colour assignments may not have been entirely random.

If I don't come back with 500 photos of the Fernsehturm, was I really even in Berlin? 😏

(I liked these photos and didn't know what else to do with them so here they are 🫶)

30.01.25 • CZ 🇨🇿 → Manchester, UK 🇬🇧
Because that's the only problem with booking concert tickets so far in advance these days, sometimes you might just emigrate before the gig happens 🙂‍↕️ Not that it stopped me! Started traveling at 7:30 in the Czech Republic, made it to the show in Manc for 18:00, reunited with my besties, sung my heart out, had an absolute blast, can't wait for next time 😍 Thank you @bfmvofficial & @triviumband 🖤 #poisonedacendancytour #bfmv #bulletformyvalentine #trivium taken in Co-op Live by @melglendinning

💚 Ich bin Marsimoto, du hast nichts anderes verdient 💚

Marsi in Prague with my Not-Cult @beautyatmatrix & @emmx.l.w was an absolute blast. Wish I'd found him earlier and had chance to see more shows, but this one was really special and we get one more time in Berlin to see him off. Can't wait 🥹💚

The American Dragon jacket I painted for All In 🐉⛓️🔥

The show was SO fun, filled with killer matches and a tonne of stuff I didn't expect to see - and Bryan winning the championship was the top of that list. He's been my guy since I started watching wrestling, the only thing I wanted was just to SEE him wrestle, and I honestly thought I might be seeing his retirement match... To see him win the big one, in England, where I now get to say "I was there"?? Unreal. And I definitely didn't have dry eyes 🫣

One gripe I do have with wrestling is that I rarely like the merchandise - so of course I was going to paint my own thing to wear. I've had this design in my head for years, the fire and chains are referenced from Bryan's past gear, and the dragon skull is mostly from my imagination. I really love how it turned out and I'm super proud of it!! 🥹 There's actually a tonne of stuff I wanted to add, if I'd planned my time a bit better.. but I'm still content with it as it is 🥰 I think it looks pretty cool😍

And special thanks to @beautyatmatrix for taking some cool pics/videos of me wearing it during the show ❤️
