I must go on standing

Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

Birds & Boats

If you'll be my boat,

i'll be your sea.

A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity.

Ebbing and flowing,

and pushed by a breeze.

I live to make you free.

I live to make you free.

But you can set sail to the west,

if you want to.

And past the horizon,

`till I can't even see you.

Far from here,

where the beaches are wide.

Just leave me your wake

to remember you by.

All I want for Christmas is you.

Love stories?

I think books can ruin lives- to an extent anyway.

A perfect example of this is Madame Bourvay (exellent book!).

The book (as far as I've read) is about a young beautiful woman married to a dull suitor who she doesn't love. The book talks of her obsession with love poems, love books and fine things. I think it is her need for passion and class that leads her into an affair with Rodolphe.

"She remembered the heroines of novels she had read, and the lyrical legion of those adulterous women began to sing in her memory with sisterly voices that enchanted her. Now she saw herself as one of those amoureuses whom she had so envied: she was becoming, in reality, one of that gallery of fictional figures; the long dream of her youth was coming true. She was full of a delicious sense of vengeance. How she had suffered! But now her hour of triumph had come; and love, so long repressed was gushing forth in joyful effervescence. She savored it without remorse, without anxiety, without distress."- Madame Bourvary

Because of her love for romance, because of her need for pretty words she was susceptible to being manipulated by a man who only wanted sex. When he breaks her heart by not running away with her, she is left alone again with her sorrows and gets seriously ill. All she really wanted was to become a heroine from her favourite novel.

It's the same with all romance novels. There's this little book you might have heard about. It's called Twilight. ...

Young girls, Young women and strange mothers trying to be cool have become obsessed with this series

What do they like about it? The action?

HECK NO!

They like the fact a plain Bella Swan can score a wonderfully rich, hansome, chivalrous, strong and devoted (edging on stalkerish) man.

Well I think that must be why because honestly there is nothing good about Stephanie Myers writing style...

Anyway my point is, when girl or boys fill their heads with passionate romances that you 'just know straight away are the one'.They will expect it from the person they date or marry. And they will fall madly in 'love' with the first guy/ girl who looks their way and calls them gross pet names like: my love, smexy, babe, gawjuss ect.

Not only gross people fall into the trap of liking/loving the idea of someone. I have and I completely regret dating a certain male (*shoots self*) because I thought he was everything I wanted.

he made me blush

he made me smile

he made me giggle

he probably would have wrote me a poem if I asked.

But when I finally spent time with him again I realised that he didn't measure up to the image I created in my head. The person I liked, wasn't him, it was just a figment of my imagination.

I know ALOT of girls who have done the same, and are still doing the same.

"He says sweet things to me, like from movies and books therefore we are in love". But the minute she gets bored of him or he runs out of corny things to say they are over within minutes.

There is nothing wrong with romantic gestures or words but there is something wrong if they aren't real. If you have gotten you idea of love from one of the following you are not living in reality:

1. Books

2. Movies

3. Peers

4. those cheesy fwd emails

5. Poems

6. Only Emotions

Love isn't the way he looks at you. Love can't be faked but words, cute gestures and kisses can be. You can be even lying to yourself this very minute, you think you love someone but deep down

you are merely in love with love.

this rant is aimed directly at a certain person who will probably never read this or will agree with it because they think they are in love and are different.

Faery Songs

Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! oh, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Dry your eyes! oh, dry your eyes!
For I was taught in Paradise
To ease my breast of melodies,--
Shed no tear.

Overhead! look overhead!

'Mong the blossoms white and red--
Look up, look up! I flutter now
On this fresh pomegranate bough.
See me! 'tis this silvery bill
Ever cures the good man's ill.
Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Adieu, adieu -- I fly -- adieu!
I vanish in the heaven’s blue,--
Adieu, adieu!

Ah! woe is me! poor silver-wing!
That I must chant thy lady's dirge,
And death to this fair haunt of spring,
Of melody, and streams of flowery verge,--
Poor silver-wing! ah! woe is me!
That I must see
These blossoms snow upon thy lady's pall!
Go, pretty page! and in her ear
Whisper that the hour is near!
Softly tell her not to fear
Such calm favonian burial!
Go, pretty page! and soothly tell,--
The blossoms hang by a melting spell,
And fall they must, ere a star wink thrice
Upon her closed eyes,
That now in vain are weeping their last tears,
At sweet life leaving, and these arbours green,--
Rich dowry from the Spirit of the Spheres,
Alas! poor Queen!

-John Keats

I find all poems are best when read aloud in a British accent. It also works for plays such as A Man For All Seasons, Crucible and Shakespeare .

Chanel

I recently watched Coco avant Chanel. And it got me thinking about what would practical, boyish, revolutionary, amazingly stylish Chanel think of the clothes being designed for the band she created.
Here is a fashion show from 1959 I managed to find on youtube.




And here are some shots from the the resort 2011 show.






I really wonder what she would think. Would she have moved forward with fashion just as Lagerfeld has done? Or would she be stubborn to change? I mean if I established such a classic way of dressing. Which I had put all my time and energy in creating, I doubt I would be willing to put everything on the line to try new looks. Maybe Chanel would hate the new clothes or maybe she would love them.

One thing is for sure Coco Chanel advanced fashion. So is there anything thing wrong with Lagerfeld advancing Chanel?

let me know what you think

I'm in massive shock after today in Australian Parliament.Poor Krudd you can see the sadness in his eyes. Bad enough losing your job without the whole country watching. Oh it is sad sad sad. I personally don't think Kevin was doing a bad job, it's not his fault America sent the rest of the world into recession.

Anyway at the risk of seeming really shallow. Heres some clothes I'm loving.

here is some pictures that describe my mood today-

There's no real theme to these pictures but they just depict different aspects of my mood.
I guess they are so different because I'm a teenage girl and have 23847128947128375873245327 billion different emotions at once.

2 more exams until can actually have a decent life, blog, and normal sleeping habits.

I cannot wait until holidays.

dodgey little outfit post

I've been desperate to post something but I haven't had the time or the camera doesn't have the battery :(

I just love straw hats, knee high socks and play suits.

sorry for the extremly lame photos & post. It's holidays soon so maybe i will be able to post some lovely things.

Mad hatter

Oh how I pine for a cloche hat! But alas, I have a fat cranium.

No seriously, I'm not even kidding! I haven't been able to find any nice vintage hats that fit me.

So I guess I'll have to stick to berets which are still pretty fantastic.

Here is a picture from like December of a beautiful plum beret once I owned, but my mother put it is the wash?? for no apparent reason and it shrunk :(

The quality of the picture is horrid but enjoy.

I really hate this picture. But I love the little hat.

"And maybe if I talk long enough, it'll make sense."

~ Ray Bardbruy, Fahrenheit 451.

So. This is kinda awkward. "do you, ah come here often?"

I'm my head I am hoping that blogging is just like dating. The first date/ post is incredibly uncomfortable. Filled with sweaty palms, uncertainty of what to say and what to do. But as the relationship continues it grows into a deep love or at in most cases (often teens relationships) infatuation. Either way I don't mind. I am already rather infatuated by fashion and Blogs.

It's a real shame a Blog could never love me in the way I would love it.

Anyway, actual fashion pictures of me and stuff will be posted shortly. Here are a few stunning pictures from the 2008 (oh i know it's old) Chanel Fall-Winter.

The carousel will never be old <3

I really really really want a two story carousel runway, the clothes from this show would be gratefully accepted as well. Especially the two toned tights which I probably wouldn't be able to pull off...
