It's Been a While

Well. It has. That whole school/work/school/work things consumed the majority of my time. However now I am focusing more on myself. Step 1. keep blog updated. Step 2. launch website. Yes. Since my last post I have been building a website for myself and hope to launch it in January. But anyways, this blog isn't about me. It's about art, fashion, music, Sister Act II. The important things in life. So here is the new KENZO campaign video. Enjoy.

Bestow my heart. Whoooooooooopi.

'Lil sassy Lauren Hill, and Whoopi as an undercover nun? Oh, my precious heart. On a sad, rainy day in the Northwest, all one has to do is  pop in their VHS (be kind, rewind) or just take a look here and witness the lovely that is RYAN TOBY.  And suddenly, sun will shine through your window and kittens will arrive on your doorstep. Trust me.

If I could go back to the Catholic high school I never attended, it would be this one. And mama could NEVER tell me I couldn't sing. But watching this, I just want to say "you can do it lil guy!" and then at minute 1:40, he vocally punches the audience in the face. Triumph for those who lack self confidence, even when they are truly extraordinary. Take a lesson from Ryan Toby's character Ahmal and be confident in your talents and express them.

Life lessons. Handed out Cat-holic styyyyyyyyyle.

Take a look. In a book.

So along with this here blog, I've been posting street style pics, of lil 'ol me, on lookbook.nu/ewd84520. If you'd be a dandy, please check out my posts and channel your inner Rosie to my Sophia Grace and "hype" me. Please and thank you.

Hi. My name's Ann.

On a windy day in mid-August, Ann sat across from me in a tiny swedish cafe. While sipping cafe patron, Ann wore a simple black v-neck tee. Casually draped over, was a chain-link vest, adorned with tiny, bejeweled skulls. Ann's legs appeared to be painted a chrome color but upon further inspection,  were actually a silver legging. Ann's platform sneakers added about 5 inches, and reminded me of Baby Spice, in all her Spice World glory. Jewelry covered Ann's hands and wrists, while a perfectly circular pair of sunglasses adorned Ann's face. Who is this "Ann" I'm describing? Ann Drogyny.

As I left the house this morning, I realized my outfit could have easily been worn by an effeminate man. Or a man who just likes v-necks, skinny jeans, spiky boots and varsity jackets. Either way, I have no problem, but  began to realize how prominent androgyny is in current street-fashion. Mens-wear is womens-wear. Vice versa. Vini vedi vici. Carpe diem. Salute!

                     ^^^^^^^^    

                       Have I proved my point?

Acid trip.

Warning: please do not watch if epileptic. I'm only 20% kidding. This film for MSGM by Luca Finotti makes my mind dizzy, but I can't look away. The colors, patterns, beautiful people. It's all quite captivating.  I'm inspired to deck myself out in head to toe floral. And casually hang with my friends in nurseries (not the baby kind).  

Please watch responsibly.
