hair inspo: long ombre a-line

I won't take the plunge until I see my stylist friend Kathleen sometime later this year or next. She lives in NYC and is the only one I trust to do something this dramatic.

I have always dreamt of long mermaid hair, so some clip in extensions may do until then. I think I'm coming to terms with my hair never growing longer then mah boobs or staying thick at the ends. I know those are reasons for clip ins!

The Book of Eli

Saw this movie last night. Pretty well done. All the movies about the end of the world always seem to be about the earth and it's natural disasters, but this movie talked about human struggle. It made me think a lot. I also loved Mila's style. I guess I've always had a thing for grunge. I'm pretty sick of that proper english, scarves, blouses, jeans, and flats, with that indie twist. puke.

Natalie Wood (Natalia Zacharenko)

Thanksgiving is around the corner and Miracle on 34th Street is about to be on repeat on tbs. Got my Christmas Joe-Joes from Trader Joe's already, besides the fact that Larson's is blowing up with the holiday sales and gift wrapping. Schools almost over. I'm gettin in the mood early this year. Natalie is a classic Christmasy brunette.

Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder where you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky.

sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast

Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.






cats, poetry, lewis carroll, pretty. It's so hard living in reality sometimes, I want to wish everyone's lack of integrity away with dreams and sparkles and pastries. I want to live in another world like Alice. I need an escape. Shall we just put everything under a rug? What am I going to do after this year? If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. I build everything up to just throw it away. Should we really be living based on principle? Sometimes what is wrong, is right. right?
Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love that makes the world go round.

The Velveteen Rabbit

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a
thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

This has always been one of my all time favorite quotes. There is so much superficiality out there; it's often hard for me to seperate it from genuine, sincere, REALness. Our focus on appearance is overwhelming. One of my biggest things is to never be stagnant. The smell of stagnant water stinks. It is not enough to be merely treading water all the time. I want to be a doer and a go getter. I want to make change, I want to affect people in a positive way. I don't want to be "getting by"or "going through the motions". I also never want to be caught in a situation where I "settle" and take something that's easy, comfortable, or convenient. I want to always stay true to who I am, but I want to let others in. I want to learn from others, and not be afraid to really feel. I will accomplish this with heart, not vanity.
