Twilight blows



Awwwwww. Look at them go; Tom Felton gets a check plus.
Glenn Beck (just accidentally wrote "Glenn Bleck" at first, hahahah), Twilight blows, BOO-YAH!, and Olive Garden lingo are apparently all that America is. Splendid.

I don't care how much anyone tries to make fun of Canada, they're the cutest. And have sublime mountains. On which I can ski.
And lots of French.
And crepes.
And cuties.
I can haz move there now, mahbe?

Guess who?












I love the crap outta him.
MFA from Columbia, doctorate from Yale (creat. writing), this, and sooo much more.




I also respect the crap out of him--get it, girl.


Plus, a recent article about him in GQ hit very close to a final paper I wrote on Whitman in Eng 290 with Dr. Davis. No wonder Davis dug it: it's obviously brilliant, HA.

I get to fall in love again



It was complete bliss reading this for the first time when I was 21 and this looks like a fantastic rendering; true to the story (it seems) and captivating and goose bump-making.

Maybe if someone won't read the book, someone would maybe perhaps possibly uh could and should see the movie?? You know who you are, my little Rochester.

Maybe I'll read it yet again before March 2011 (release date). Mmmmmmmm, 19th century splendor.

After ANTM

I can't even relay how much I adore Allison Harvard.




All the best people love cats.

I was looking into what she has been doing after ANTM, and she's signed with Nous Model, apparently. I think. She didn't need to win to be spectacular and perfect. Yeeyah. She also has a bunch of photos on Stumbleupon.com if you type in her name. They're divine. There are also a couple nice ones on Tumblr.com, too.




Lovelovelove. Love.


Not sure who took this, but I'm guessing she did because she haz the arts and stuffs. I.e., she draws/is creative&etc.

Bliz, blaze

Today I went thrifting with Michelle and Cassie.

I found another spectacular blazer: this one is quite like the blue velvet one I got a couple months ago, only this new one is a bright-ish maroon. Cassie called it a Willy Wonka blazer. Haw.

Blazer: $2
Vest for a certain someone for Xmas: $2
Dry cleaning to make them both smell/look better: $10 total.



It's darker than this picture, but this is the blazer. It's also a wee bit big, but, it'll be fine.


And this is the vest.

I don't really care about wearing other people's clothes, but I absolutely loathe the smell. And for me, smell is everything.
Speaking of smells, Autumn Lodge by Yankee Candle is my current candle. J'adore.

Morgan Matthews



At about 1:54, there's a clip of this sequence, which I love:

Morgan: Mommy, if my dolly's cold, can I put her in the toaster oven?
Amy: No, honey. That would be a mistake.
Morgan: Mommy?
Amy: Yes?
Morgan: I made a mistake
Amy: *runs into the kitchen. Cory! Didn’t you smell that?
Cory: I just thought we were having plastic for dinner.
*Amy pulls out the flattened doll
Morgan: I don’t care what she looks like. Debbie’s my doll and I love her.
Amy: Well sweetheart, we’ll get you another doll.
Morgan: OK! *throws Debbie across the kitchen and runs upstairs.

Lily Nicksay is the cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutest.

Steampunk

Steampunk: is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc.



Boots from a website that specializes in this fashion. There were a lot of things going on in my dreams last night, and these boots were one of the subjects, haaa.

Simple, plain shirt. But I dig.


They also sell lots of men's clothes, which have the look of Sherlock Holmes or a ringleader. I would love on any man who wore these get-ups.

Almost all the men's vests are super-swankilicious.

I also liked the Black Cherry Jacquard Vest, om num num.


This particular website also sells retro bathing suits (men and women), canes, mustaches, watches, suspenders, hats, &etc.
