desperately seeking cute hair

my hair is grown out now. and i can't decide about it. its making me impatient, because it's begun to curl and be a poufy wave again. i forgot how thick and wavy it really is. having boy short hair that you have to cut constantly like a gentleman will do that to you. i don't know if i even like long hair anymore. i have loved short short hair. but i feel its time to drift back.
i want style. i want to be able to style my hair. thus i need hair to create.
bubble cut?
bob again....
or shall i be very patient and grow it at least shoulder length....
hmmm
only time and the distance i can keep from a hair salon will tell.
finger crossed
i want something cute and new.
a change is in order.

you're so editorial

some days you just feel like a model.
that day i tried.

after a lovely ladies day out
just wanted to post a favourite pic from the sartorialist
beautiful and simple
a moment between friends
switching shoes
makes me smile everytime
[and i love that little run in her stockings, so real.]

The Parselmouth

the one and only Alexander McQueen

Lee Alexander McQueen
i will miss you
on this blog i was always a fan of your fashion aesthetic
dark and stormy
impeccable textures
challenged and confronted
drama and intrigue
sensitive and creative
you pushed the envelope
never hesitated for anyone
sexual revolution
robotic spray paint
fetish and harness
leather and lace
reptiles, insects and aviary
your last collection brought a tear to my eye
you reinvented fashion
dictated style to the masses
your innovation and craftsmanship were infinite
and irreplaceable


in a tweet a few month ago, Mr. McQueen said:
'From heaven to hell and back again, life is a funny thing. Beauty can come from the most strangest of places even the most disgusting places'

arm outstretched

all week i have been trying to grasp at something
feel something substantial
however time has a mind of its own
it sifted through my fingers like sand
all the little thoughts
revelations
were those grains
impossible to capture individually
nothing solid even when cupped together
but i created each of these precious grains
so as the wind blew them away
i felt loss
i mourned all of those epiphanies that have passed
all i could hope for was for a few to stick to the sweat of my laborious hands
i was accused of not going with change
not learning from the growing pains
i was told to go to a workshop to handle my frustrations
but they didn't get it
and the tears uncontrollable escape from my eyes
i cried for the time that has passed
for my little thoughts that get taken away by the wind of each passing day
for all they have taken from me
for all that they have given me along the way
i love change
i love it so much that the change that surrounds me
isn't enough
i am not in the driver's seat
i haven't been for awhile
i was just enjoying the ride
sitting in the backseat
too relaxed
complacent
but now i think its time to get my head out of the window
stop enjoying the scenery
swiggling my hand out the window as my life passes me by
i need to take the wheel
i am an active participant in my life
i am open
and i am ready

leopard-skin pill box hat

[this has been my computer desktop go-to picture for sometime now]
the one and only factory girl
superstar
full of exuberance
joy
giddiness
along with a drink and a cigarette

'You care enough, that you want your life to be fulfilled in a living way, not in a painting way, not in a writing way'

umbrella hats are all the rage

especially when its snowing outside

divine imagery
taken somewhere in soho
chanel girls give great goth makeup face
with lady-like all black curves
and spotted, subtle animal prints scattered in
sky high heels complete these top-knotted hair fashions.
now back to the question at hand:
do you think i could pull off the hat?
