From a Real Live Boy

My guy friend showed me this song...we were talking about how there is really no such thing as a booty call...because for someone it always means something on some level.

Love ♥

He put it on me, I put it on,
Like there was nothing wrong.
It didn't fit,
It wasn't right.
Wasn't just the size.
They say you know,
When you know.
I don't know.

I didn't feel
The fairytale feeling, no.
Am I a stupid girl
For even dreaming that I could.

If it's not like the movies,
Thats how it should be, yeah.
When he's the one,
I'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning, yeah.

Snow white said when I was young,
"One day my prince will come."
So I wait for that date.
They say its hard to meet your match,
Find my better half.
So we make perfect shapes.
If stars don't align,

If it doesn't stop time,
If you cant see the sign,
Wait for it.
One hundred percent,
With every penny spent.
He'll be the one that,
Finishes your sentences.

If it's not like the movies,
Thats how it should be.
When he's the one,
He'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning,
And thats just the beginning.

'Cause I know you're out there,
And your, your love came for me.
It's a crazy idea that you were made,
Perfectly for me you'll see.

Just like the movies.
That's how it will be.
Cinematic and dramatic with the perfect ending.
It's not like the movies,
But that's how it will be.
When he's the one,
You'll come undone,
And your world will stop spinning,
And it's just the beginning.

Today's Inspiration

Tim Walker

RIHANNA

Mary Kate and Ashley

Beauty: Skin Deep or a Huge Leap?

My roommate showed me this...
Food for thought.

Perfection Feels Too Ordinary a Goal

April's Vogue:)

Rihanna was featured and she killed it with this closing idea; "When something feels real, you don't make any apologies for it. When it feels good to you, nothing else matters. Everything else is just noise."

Love this dress.


Noted Photographer and Artist:
Grace Coddington




Some really cool fashion pieces...
The L'escalier D'argent Bow Ties


I'm digging the ties on women...


There was a feature on Mary-Kate and Ashley's new line The Row but what I really loved was this quote about their commitment to the business: "If Malcolm Gladwell is correct about the way children who put in 10,000 hours of specialist study become outliers in later life, then the knowledge she absorbed virtually qualified her for an MBA before the age of sixteen [(referring to Ashley Olsen)]."

I was already obsessed. I love nothing more than their chic, petite, drowning grunge look.

Angelina Tattoos

So when it comes down to the eternal rivalry of are you with Angelina or Jen I was always with Jen. I still am...but recently I learned a bit about Angelina's tats. It's pretty freakin rad...check these out:


It is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script, the language of Cambodia. It is there to protect her and her adopted Cambodian son Maddox from bad luck.

Here's the translation:

May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.


This tattoo on her left underarm is the Roman number 13. She had it done because she doesn't believe in superstitions.


This tattoo on Jolie's left arm are the words of Tennessee Williams:

"A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages."
My absolute fave.


This cross tattoo covers the little dragon with the blue tongue she had done in Amsterdam. Next to it is a phrase in Latin:

"Quod me nutrit me destruit", meaning "What nourishes me, destroys me."


These numbers are the geographical coordinates (longitudes and latitudes) from the locations where her children first entered her life.

1. N11° 33' 00" E104° 51' 00" : the place in Cambodia where Angelina Jolie's eldest son Maddox was born.
2. N09° 02' 00" E038° 45' 00" : the place in Ethiopia were her daughter Zahara was born.
3. S22° 40' 26" E014° 31' 40" : the place in Namibia (Swakopmund) where Angelina gave birth to her biological daughter with Brad Pitt, Shiloh (Hebrew for "the peaceful one"), was born.
4. N10° 46' 00" E106° 41' 40" : the place in Vietnam where Angelina's son Pax Thien was born.


And that's not even close to all of them. I can respect it.

Thanks for the rundown free tattoo designs.

There is something mesmerizing about balloons in stillness photographed...





I found this photographer in the newest issue of W. Love him. He has this tortured fairytale quality in all of his photography.

Witness



Who is your lighthouse?

Strip Me

Some artists have an ability to speak directly to your soul. It's strange because it's something that can't be defined or described. You hear it, see it, experience it, and you just know--IT, they've got it.

It's like trying to describe a good run, an amazing sexual experience, or trying a favorite food for the first time. It's innate connections inside of us, that we're unable to explain. These same small magnets also provide strength when we're at our weakest...

Sometimes I look back on an experience and wonder how in the hell I had the strength to maintain or overcome that specific blow. I often wonder if I literally was capable, if I had the strength all along, or if specific circumstances, conversations, and people in my life lead me to be different for that one very unique situation. The point of life, is to take these motivators, impending lessons, and with renewed hope, use them for the next time around...because the wind never stops. And while it is false that we cannot control where we're blown, you will always feel the chill or the impact from independent decay all around us.

Ravenous for the Romper



A Sucker for This Symbol




Love these...

A Work in Progress


I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row.


This morning I ran before the sun came up right down the center of the road ... all alone. It's been a while since I felt that energized...

Excited About This One

Best Comeback Ever


"No doubt your ego
is 10 times the size of your junk.
And if it weren't for steroids,
your unproportional muscles
would be as small as your brain."

Thoughts Not to Be Eschewed

Output is ALWAYS a reflection of input.

Change is possible.

Urgency and desire coupled with divine promptings preclude any shallow multiplication of words in prayer.

Moods and minds are affected deeply by light and color.

In relationships we ought not to be competing, but completing.

Be an active participant wherever you are, whatever you're doing.

Communication=human connection

Social connection: keeping the world aware and alive, bringing meaning from person to person in countries all over the globe.

Media is what creates the human connection. Truth in the media, is the proof of a society's conscience.

Human connection enables the purpose of the human experience.

When the sun's in the sky, it makes for happy endings.

Journalism should urge and inspire a society. It pushes integrity and progress.

If you gave it your best shot, you'll leave empty handed.

"Is it fair for me to wonder
if your affects are a waste of time?
it's uncertain now to me
when your support will surpass a mime

is your present in your future?
or will we run out of time?
I'm prepared to say it, scream it
are you really mine?

Your words have taken refuge
in my inconsistent head
and now no matter what I do
their on repeat while I'm alone in bed

I'm scared you'll take what pain I've had
and show it to me one octave higher
I'll never trust what truth is
and my faith won't let me call you a liar

Touch you, hear you, hold you
I'll squeeze too tight, talk too much, and disappear behind you..."

An Irresistable Position



Thomas Jefferson famously said that given a choice between a government without a newspaper, or a newspaper without a government, he would easily favor the second option.
