Sleater-Flaglandia

I got distracted by a pretty girl.

I think that it is certainly open to interpretation, but in my opinion there weren’t any hints about it. Personally, I could see them getting together way down the line but after forming a solid friendship and figuring themselves out. But who knows—-the story was left the way it was so that we could speculate about these kinds of things!

Thanks! xo

Many signs over the past 1-2 years have pointed to a Sleater-Kinney reunion happening soon (possibly this year), not to mention with the success of Portlandia/Wild Flag at the moment there has been great revival and growth in the S-K fanbase. So, she may be talking about Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss. Just speculation, but she definitely was choosing her words VERY carefully during this part of the interview. 

I don’t know if anybody knows for certain, but I think that Carrie was 27 when she got it and I have heard that it’s a reference to some of the people she’s looked up to in rock music who were part of the ‘27 club,’ a group of musicians who died at the age of 27 (Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, etc.).

Carrie has a total of 3 tattoos that we as a fanbase know about, though I think she may have gotten one removed. She has a left lower stomach tattoo of her cat Hector who has passed, a “Dig Me Out” tattoo on her right ribcage, and a (possibly removed) number “27” on the back of her right upper arm. It’s visible in some 1st season episodes of Portlandia but in some 2nd season episodes and later Wild Flag appearances, it’s been either removed or covered up.
