Celibacy

I've been so happily obsessed with Winona's character Charlotte in Mermaids. I love every little detail about her, from the fact she used Joan Arc at the gynecologists office as her own name, her inability to understand her own urges, but most of all her determined and earnest dedication to a life of celibacy and purity. The very idea of a life of celibacy seems so funny yet warm, a little shy and even nostalgic. Turtle necks, maxi skirts, muted colors--a life of bliss! I love the gaudiness of the crosses, and St. Mary candles. Love the character Charlotte and her overall development through the story- maybe theres a Charlottes within all of us (but more likely there is a Samantha). Enjoy and thanks for reading.

Oh my gosh, love her.

Somehow this seems fitting-click to see actual sequence

Put in for good measure

I love the idea of no skin showing

Love Her, she wears crosses nicely

When is HIGH SCHOOl too much?

"I Didn't Went To Prom And i Feel Depressed HELP?

       i feel soooo sad whenever i see pictures of my classmates at prom :( do you think prom is a big deal or not?"

When is high school not too much? Whats worse is how it has been (or not been) depicted throughout the years. Shows like glee create a great frustration, the worst thing about high school is all the subtle things that ate away not the inherent and blatant drama they pretend is real life. There were few dramatics, and very little "real" drama but small things that built up and forced eventual confrontation. Beyond the obvious movies and cinema we see, there are whole companies created to profit from preconceived notions of high school years. Whatever you feel about high school you can't deny that it has some impact of many people's lives. How people view it is debatable--I hope the best memories I have won't be the ones spent eating lunches in the art room (yes...this happened). At moments you want to just go shake a babbling-taylor swift-fan into believing that high school isn't that important. It seems it has become this cultural phenomenon because it creates the basis of who we will become, not in any obvious ways, but it sets the foundation of where we can grow. We make decisions then, in those few short years, and are expected to decide who we want to be. This illusion, that once high school is over, you will form a concrete identity has perhaps created a tumultuous inner battle within many psyches. High school is hell. But hell doesn't last that long, and ol nostalgia creeps on in. No matter your experience in high school, its important to appreciate it, and leave it in the past. It'll be interesting (for myself) what this post will read as in 5 years time. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

This monster

Like this would really happen in the average high school without disciplinary actions.

 I never realized how Romy and Michele would be so relevant to me today.

Nostalgia

It seems as time passes, nostalgia develops. Through this evolving sense of time I often look back at time periods with a fondness that ignores the true realities of the time or at the very least accepts some and diminishes others. How does style change if we apply this nostalgia to current style. It seems tragic, to live in the past, as fashion is always about moving forward.  How we understand the past controls how we see the future. Having a sweet nostalgia makes certain memories sweeter. Its romantic, soft and yet beneath it there is a coldness. Hard to explain, nostalgia is a great unique way of changing perspectives on certain style. Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think!
