hard to get

today i'm listening to: jenny and johnny - scissor runner



and this video is worth watching too. breakout - baby i'm yours.


watch the psychedelic video
and dance, baby, dance.







deliver me into
psychedelic skies


who is this girl
[her dirty toes]
she stares out the window
[at stars she can't reach]
and
smokes
[forgotten cigarettes]
on patios [she can't remember].
[she says she's death without the music.]



i had a long talk with a good friend last night
brilliant

and i heard this joke:
why did the hipster burn his mouth on pizza?
he ate it before it was cool.
(pffff.)



speaking of hipster....
(or not)
i have lived in NY for 3 months
and i'm just starting to get my room in order
my bed is no longer my sole piece of furniture!

i have a little, mini desk now!
in fact, i'm sitting at it as i.. blog.
and it's glorious.

my lack of windows
(which may or may not be illegal)
makes me want summer all the time in my room.
i think my room has a new sense of importance
because it's the only thing in the city i can call my own.
so i've made some little commandments of how to accomplish a great space.


1 - thou shalt keep a clean space.
there's nothing more depressing than a grey gardens grunge fest.
so.... i'll clean.

2 - thou shalt not forget the funsters of yore.
what's more summery than stocking up on more booze than i could ever think i'd need?
and i don't even really drink... i'm like a grandma,
downing cups of herbal tea lately.
but what's better than watching.taking part getting absolutely toasted off copious amounts of hooch with your friends?! so, thou shalt always be prepared.

how fun is this bottle o'booze?


3 - thou shalt not be afraid of color.
thou shalt not be overly formal, because if thou art, thou will be sad. thou shalt embrace a mix of fancy with frisky.
[meow]

4 - thou shalt not commit murder.
...mmmunless though art murdering for a thrift accessory i absolutely need. in this case of emergency, thou shalt feel free to use whatever means necessary to obtain that special something
[cause honey, i'm on a budget.]

5 - thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.
because mine will be better...

----
mostly i think i'm going to paint the walls
and change the angle of my desk every few weeks.
who are we kidding here....


oh how this whole world
can shine so bright
if we let it.



don't play hard to get.
be hard to get.

if most of us
are ashamed of shabby clothes
and shoddy furniture,
let us be more ashamed of
shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies...
it would be a sad situation
if the wrapper
were better than the meat
wrapped inside it.

wanna feel fabulous?
check these out:






christian dior paper dolls. oh my.


i'm going to cut along the dotted line
and dive into some dior myself.
(pa-ha!)
until then,
i hope you'll remind yourself
of how fantastic you are.
(i think you forget every now and again)


i'd rather teach one bird
how to sing than teach a thousand
stars how not to dance
