STORY OF MY LIFE

Oh, Useless Wednesday...

OMG PONIEEESSS!!

Urban dictionary definition of "OMG PONIES": an involuntary exclamation when confronted by extreme awesomeness or cuteness

And now for something completely different:

How can I control my life when I can't control my hair?!

The argument that probably is a large reason to why all men think we women are balls to the wall cray-cray: I HATE MY HAIR. I WANT WHAT YOU HAVE!

Myself, I am tortured by having stick straight hair. STICK STRAIGHT PEOPLE. No straighteners, no blow dryers. I can sit with wet hair for an hour or so and what I turn up with when its dry is the STUFF THAT WOMEN WOULD KILL FOR. And yet, I'm mad.

And it took me until today to realize why....

Thanks a lot, you Disney whores.

This would be my dream design-school hair. Right color, right mix of spunk and polish. And up and out of my way. However, my attempts at this are nothing short of hilarious.

Braids? I can only dream! My poor little weakling arms want to give up halfway through and I am such a sucker I let them.

This looks so simple! And so pretty! So why whenever I try something like this does it look like I've been mauled by a pack of rabid raccoons? WHY LORD?

Pfft now youre just showing off. Everyone knows that things look better in black and white. I'm on to you hair-photographer.

Ahhh hello perfect red. Well.... a little too hyper for my taste now but I'm always jealous of girls that have the time for this type of color upkeep.

Big gorgeous curls? HA! You tease! Trying to curl stick straight hair is fighting a losing battle my friend. Save your time, your money, and your tears and just quit now. This will never be you [me].

Don't even think about beach hair lady. You dont want to end up hurting yourself.

I may or may not have had a bad hair day that spurred this. Thats what I get for sleeping with my hair in two japanese top knots. Whooooops. ANGRY HAIR

Flying Away

So as many of you know, and if you dont SHAME ON YOU, but Alexander McQueen committed suicide recently. And although I don't follow fashion AT ALL, its a damn shame because, well, boy was cray-cray. Beyond creative. Huge design-creative boner for his stuff. So in my regular strolls around the interwebs, I ran across these glorious pieces of his. Now normally, none of his stuff could be worn by mere mortals, only those along the likes of ms gaga, but as we all know, that one isn't exactly sane either. But these- I would wear these. I know they're yellow- which I normally stay far far far away from, but I SO Get Down in the feathered hotness of them.

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

Then, since I felt guilty for only planning on posting two images, I poked around some more in my personal files (oooh!) and found that I have a penchant for feathers. Peacock feathers more specifically. So FEAST YOUR EYES ON THESE BOLD BEAUTIES:

HOLY SHABLAM!

Wish this was moi

Currently my background image. No lie.

I'd wear this. No, seriously, I would. Maybe with a top though....

I WOULD wear this, because I happen to own it, except it fell apart :-( Thanks for letting me steal the graduation gift I got you though, Kel, it seems I was just saving you from some cheap glue.

Oh heck yes.

Dra. Ma.

I think this is very sweet.

Looks like I've got tattoos on the brain. And feathers.

Well, so sad to see Mr McQueen go. But I'm sure that if there is such a thing as the afterlife, hes busy as hell BLOWIN EVERYBODY'S MINDS

Strange & Beautiful

I'm not sure what it is about swirls that I love... perhaps the fact that they're asymmetrical and unpredictable and still very pretty without being overtly girly. Its always been a type of pattern that I am strongly attracted to, sometimes I love them more than a bold geometric.

Upgrade for my mac? If I remember the piece on these, thats actually engraved. Brilliant

Pretty swirls on a tattoo with a fairly pretty font in FRENCH. This could be me. Right now.

Purple umbrella with swirls? This could be me too!

Love this (just get rid of the flowers please)..... thats a pattern carved in a concrete floor. So pret-tay.

This. I'm dying. I want to go out THIS INSTANT and get this done. This is a tattoo done with white ink- it gives you this very faint sometimes hardly noticeable line (my one big problem with other tattoos is that theyre just so damn visible). This I could live with. And I do... I really really really want to.
