"I was trying to write then and I found the greatest difficulty, aside from knowing truly what you really felt, rather than what you were supposed to feel, and had been taught to feel, was to put down what really happened in action; what the actual things were which produced the emotion that you experienced." - E. H.

Disguised Drivers.

Lars Botten's photography is not only mysterious to me but also has a slight touch of silliness and sexiness; my favorite combination.

I want a creepy rabbit mask now.

Taxidermy Love.

My lovely friend Jenna and I found this little boutique called "Neda's" on upper Haight Street yesterday. It was full of quirky/vintage decor, clothing, and accessories. Picture the store "Anthropologie" mixed with Tim Burton's style. I was instantly attracted to the glass displays of jewelry made with dead rat feet, pigeon heads, and skunk teeth. I have no idea why I am completely obsessed with dead animals; I just find them so amusing.I blame it on my mother's side of the family who were all hunters and had stuffed deer heads, bears, and rabbits in their living rooms.

Powdered Magic.

Whimsical Melodies.

I just bought tickets to go see "Bat For Lashes" for June! Their latest album just came out this month as well. Natasha Khan is absolutely wonderful. Her songs and style make me want to sprinkle fairy dust on myself and wear fur coats and sequinced headbands while running around in an enchanted forest with deers and rabbits.

I AM SOOOOOOO STOKED. 

Salmonella Rolls

Seriously..I really want to know who the hell eats the sushi at 7Eleven? I mean.. you might as well go straight to the E.R. immediately after consuming it.

JACKET CRAZED!

Looks like Balmain was totally inspired by "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

but with a little bit of a rebel twist! 

Fuck yes.

MY DREAM COME TRUE!

"Taxi Driver Wisdom"

This book is very thought-provoking and amusing. I've always had a fascination with taxi drivers. Oh, the people they meet and the stories they must hear! Add this to your collection of coffee table books!

Flapper necklaces!

Miss "Norweigan Wood" sure know how to make a bad ass accessory.

(Thanks Jennifer for sharing this discovery!)

 

Ceramics gone bad!

Thank you to Miss Allen for writing music that sums up my life. You are wonderful.

Inland empire

Sometimes, I just want to run away to an open field

 with a boom box and dance around barefoot, 

wearing a flowy skirt or dress...

enjoying the sunshine, the crisp air, 

feeling the blades of grass graze my skin, 

the breeze coming and going, 

tangling and twisting my hair...

and after I make myself completely exhausted, 

I want to just plop down and pick a ton of dandy lions 

and make stupid, naive wishes on them.

I went to the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park today with my close friends Evgenia, Jordan,  and his darling mother, to see an Andy Warhol exhibit. 

Yes...I know, it sounds soooooooo "cliche" to be an art student and be ALL ABOUT Warhol, but there's something about that man that I find so insane and intriguing and brilliant. He took the simplest items and "glamourized" them as something of a higher value... and by doing so, people began to notice his work. Yes, I know artists have been doing this for years, but the fact that he not only glamourized these items, but also used repetition was extremely unique. Basically, he erased distinctions between fine art and popular culture. Warhol also dabbled in pretty much everything from painting, photography, short films, designing album covers, publishing books, fashion, theater, television, performance           art, and sculpture. He also had strange obsessions with tragic Hollywood beauties such as Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe. He seemed to appreciate beauty in simple things or people that                                                                        were overlooked or perhaps perceived differently 

                                     and made sure to just show them as 

          they were which to him was

                                                                                  something real and raw. 

The more I discover about this artist who made 

Campbell's soup cans famous, the more I am inspired

 to continue pursuing a career that depends on creativity....

for the possibilities seem endless and absolutely exciting.

Welcome to nerdsville.

Hah! So, I finally caved in to the nerdy, creepy world of blogging. I had a hard time coming up with a title for it since I really have no idea what I'm going to be writing/posting on this. Ah well, I promise I'll try to make it as interesting as possible!
