Melody

This is Melody. She is wonderfully wild sometimes. Here we were listening to old records.

Here is my dear cousin Jenny again. I have put all my Holga pictures and a few other film pictures in an album so that I can remember everything when I am old. In the album I am also keeping track of what i am reading, listening to, wand watching at the moment. We shall see how long that lasts.

Got a lookbook. Pretty exciting. Don't have much up yet but check it out sometimes.

Yesterday I started Electronic music class. I am psyched about it, but also a bit worried, seeing as I cant even play the keyboard. We shall see, they  may make of me a musician-type person yet. 

Poladroid is fun. I wish I Had a real polaroid camera.... but then again, seeing how expensive the film is, maybe not.

This sight makes me die laughing every time I go on it. The worst part is I think it is for real.

Orlando..... a park before sunset with my dear cousin and a friend

Uggg... came down with the worst bug saturday. I feel so unproductive.... really need to finish the crazy cardboard chair that is taking up half my room. I am quite happy with it, but it needs it's skeleton and all the unattractive seams covered. 

I cant find the CDs with my portfolio on it.

Here are some pictures I took with my holga in orlando. It is such a wonderful little pice of junk I am just in love with it. 

Coconut Records is wonderful.

I also happened to run into a local street fashion blogger... of course I would be wearing my version of sweat pants. 

Oh and also, celebration because this is my 111 post!

Here are some older pictures. I have loads of new ones but I have to scan them and the scanner is acting up, so as soon as I get that fixed I can update more recent things (pictures taken with my holga, and pictures of last week in orlando). I have put all the pictures in a very pretty book, so that when I am old I will be able to look back to when the world was very colorful and life was full of adventures. 
Today I got a hair cut, it is very nice to have short hair.

Orlando is very nice. the weather is cool and the sky is blue. Here is a picture of my room that I took a few weeks ago. I miss it slightly, but not very much.
Today I got a roll of holga film developed. It turned out quite nice. I am very excited.
I am taking a lot of pictures, hope I don't run out of film...

Balloons

I like balloons, but they do not like me very much, because they all flew away!

Tomorrow is quite exciting, I am leaving to go to florida, a nice warm place, and spend time with one of my dear cousins. We will have wonderful adventures. 

the shirt and belt are thrifted, the tights + socks are my mom, the skirt belongs to a dear friends, and the shoes are UO.

I received for my birthday some wonderful combat boots. They make me feel badass. Maybe one day I will take a picture of them for you.

Today I was yearning for Sweet salsa and chips. I went to the whole foods store and spent too much money. The salsa has peaches and mangoes, but is spicy ... I wished I liked spicy things.

Yesterday was very nice. the sun came out and the sky was blue, and I went downtown and celebrated my birthday with some friends. We ate Pizza. And drank steamers. Withy yummy hazelnut.

My my mind seems to be on food a lot.

Tonight I am going to watch Jane Eyre again. The library cant find the other versions. I need to go to blockbuster. Next up - Mr. Lonely

The version of Sugar, We're Goin' Down by Goat actually makes for a very good song. 

On repeat also is Imogen Heap, the knives.

Found this picture on lookbook. I am not sure what it is about it -  maybe the sky and the way their hands are interlocked  and there dancing, but it is the most stunning image. 

I am going to start a new sculpture tomorrow. I am very board of the one I have been working on for a long time. 

Holga

I finally have some results form my holga. not much, at all, but I am excited about all the adventures we will have together. 

Well, 2008 is over now. It was a very nice year.

Emily

This is a person is quite dear to me. She is encouraging, inspiring and wonderfully musical.

HaHa Merry Christmas!

Today my adorable little brother is turning 6.

Anatomy

School is out.
Finals are over.
Friends are back in town.
life is still complex
but it is also beautiful.
The human back is also complex.

That was a bad segway.
Whatever.

I have been experimenting with overlaying my drawings with tracing paper so that I can label all the muscles and identify the main masses. It has helped a lot.


"I'm darthvader
I know what I'm made of
'cause I was warmed by the sun, the sun....
your looking for me
but it's not what you see
cause I've got a twisted personality."

"I was looking for you
and I'm glad I found me a special kind of personality
you are Darth vader
I know what your made of
you are like a lunge, a lung...
you were warmed by the sun, the sun...."
The Knife

Oh I am so excited. One of my dearest friends is coming back from living in canada tomorrow, and school is almost over for a month, WHOOOOO, and I went thifting today and found tons of amazing things, and I went to a wonderfully colorful music store and found a CD with loads of Beatles recordings. Amazing. And I get to sleep in a ton. And my physics exam is off my shoulders. My friends, the world is a beautiful, colorful, and sweet sounding globe. I hope tons of you share this feeling, and if you are down, I hope you feel better about life soon.

Haha today I feel like a preppy wood nymph who wants to go punk but is too girly to pull it off because her bigest inspiration is Audrey Hepburn.
Tomorrow I am going to wear skinny jeans and flowers in my hair.
When I was little I looked at Cicely Mary Barker’s book of flower fairies for hours.
I got hippy combat boots in the mail, but I am not going to open the package till by birthday, because that is what they are for, and there has to be some element of surprise.
Anyways, I hope all you dears had a wonderful thanksgiving and a wonderful week.
Real time photos will resume when I get a camera, promise.

Crazy

Sorry for the lack of posts. Things have been crazy. Research papers, physics test, portfolio review day (Lyme Academy accepted my portfolio!) and now cleaning and cooking for thanksgiving, not to mention looming collage applications, finals, and friends coming home form collage for a few days. Anyways, a few weeks ago my dad asked to take a portrait of me so here is the only one that turned out nicely. Oh and guess what? I got this awesome unitard /cat lady suit that I am psyched about.
I am working on a post about punks (I have been feeling punk/grunge lately, but I don't have pictures sorry), as well as a post with lots of pictures of my portfolio, so hold in there.

Well.... my dad was getting pictures of all the pieces in my portfolio and I asked him to take a picture for my blog because my fodder was rather stale, and here are the results. He has really good ideas for pictures, no? Here I am flying on the wings of my art.
The top and sweater are thrifted, and everything else is UO.
And how lame is it that I have only finished one decent painting in my life?
