I feel emancipated. I’ve had my stained glass project from high school in my basement for the past 6 years. I was very excited to finish this in high school. I was the first person in my class to choose my pieces of glass, cut/saw them and copper foil them. It was like the rabbit…

End of ze world?
I’ve been getting frustrated with the media. I use the term loosely of course, the “media” is every venue which preaches any “world is coming to an end” horror story. I have become incredibly optimistic about the future. Reasons for this: 1. Non financial companies are doing quite well. Just as any person would, they…
Selina Kyle? Catwoman? Anne Hathaway? Christopher Nolan?
I have concerns for the new batman movie. Mostly my concern is that it will be awful and that Anne Hathaway is a terrible choice for Catwoman. Does anyone even REMEMBER Michelle Pfeiffer? How can Hathaway ever fill those shoes? She may have been a great, vapid White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, but considering…
Dream Board and the Universe, Part 2
A little while ago I made a post about dream boards. I’m almost done with them! My life has sort of come to a standstill during the course of the past month. I’ve needed to find the time to do various paperwork, logistical errand running, assisting, craigslist furniture scouting and delivering, used car buying, apartment…
Paillettes Prada Fall 2011 and Time’s Cruel Nature
I just got the September issue of Vogue late since my subscription ran out and it’s already September 5th! I exclaim not because I am reading my magazine later than usual, this I’m okay with, it’s the uncharacteristic, surreal speed of time passing which has left me confused and unsettled. How fleeting time is, how…
Moving on with your life!
Everyone I know is moving. Which is fine! I’m not jealous. I don’t even want to move, I don’t even like it. I couldn’t be bothered to have a blank new canvas for which to decorate. Or want that ghastly uncomfortable period where everything seems new and feels different and even the things you’ve had…
Hurricane Irene
There’s nothing like being heartbroken and mad that someone you really didn’t want to leave does and goes to New York. Forever. And then having a hurricane named after you. A highly publicized hurricane that’s all over the radio, news and internet. So glorious it is to know that my name was constantly repeated for…
Elie Saab Couture Fall 2011
Ah to be rich and adorned in gorgeous things. Sometimes I think of all those people who’ve got lots and lots of money and bad taste to go with it. Paris Hiltons and lesser Paris Hiltons of the world. You all make me so sad. I’ve never seen Paris Hilton in Elie Saab. Actually my…
Reasons why I don’t go to the dentist and other scare tactics
When I was six I used to go to the dentist. Pretty regularly. But things were different then. Then, I used to get a hot pink toothbrush and bring it home with a tiny tube of cotton candy flavored toothpaste that fit expertly in my hands. Sometimes I got stickers too, it was a good…
