dress up

when i was little i thought my grandma's walk in closet (which has more shoes, makeup and panty hoes than the entire country of africa) was how dressing rooms for movie stars looked. so i would put on a ton of jewelry and makeup and pretend i was FAMOUSSS!

later in life i learned that trannies not famous people look like this

and that lady from the drew carry show

once the fake mole came out it was all down hillllllll

but i do wish i could play dress up more on a regular basis! ya know wear crazy fun makeup and not get look like wtf is up with that chick. maybe not blue eyeshadow up to the brow bone but i have some fun colors i'd like to break out now and again.

short hair

got bored and cut off all my hair ( well over a foot of it!)




it's mad sexy




sienna miller as edie sedgewick was my inspiration. mine's a bit longer though.


since my inspiration was edie i think lots of big earrings and sixty style clothes are in my future.

i want to dress up and eat some cake

visiting Versailles made me want an empire dress so badly!

what would you do if i sang out of tune? i dont care as long as you're singing happy birthday!

i have one hour left of being a teenager, and what am i thinking of as my teen years come to a close? winnie cooper of course!


on the night i was born, my dad was watching the wonder years. maybe if i could channel my inner winnie a little more i'd be able to find myself a kevin arnold.




im sitting here legitimately jealous of anyone ( fictional or not) who finds their true love so early in life! i feel like it should have been my destiny. my dad brought me home from the hospital singing my girl, the theme song to the quintessentially young love movie! where was my thomas j?


i guess it would take a litlle bit of the fun out of life finding your soul mate at 13. i mean the excitement of an adventure is not knowing the ending, right?


anyways... here's to my birthday, all the vadas and the winnie coopers out there, and maybe finding a little true love of my own!

I let my music take me where my heart wants to go

Google's image search of Life photos is ah-mazing. These are the result of searching gypsies.

Even if i'm covered in bug bites, im glad it's summer!

I listen to the wind

To the wind of my soul

Where I'll end up well I think,

Only God really knows

I've sat upon the setting sun

But never, never never never

I never wanted water once

No, never, never, never

I listen to my words but

They fall far below

I let my music take me where

My heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil's lake

But never, never never never

I'll never make the same mistake

No, never, never, never

even if we're just dancng in the dark

formal dress:

I got it at target for only 40 bucks. I gave myself a little pat on the back for such a thrifty find haha!


Target's impossible not to love!

And i would love to find you growing wild out by the woods

On Wednesday I got a ton of yummy strawberries at the farmers market.



So Friday morning for breakfast we had strawberry shortcake and champagne with strawberries.





It was quite lovely, perfectly delicious and summery!






It reminded me of one of my favorite songs by Paul Baribeau

To say that you are cute,
Would be like saying a strawberry is sweet,
'Cause a strawberry has secret flavors that are sharp, and tart, and red, and deep,
And i would love to find you growing wild out by the woods,
i would make a basket with the front of my t-shirt,
and take home as many of you as I could,
And to say that you are pretty,
Would be like saying that the ocean is blue,
Cause the ocean is full of all kinds of colors,
and I see all kinds of things when I look at you,
and I want to explore you
With my tenni shoes off
Standing ankle deep in a tide pool,
with my khaki pants rolled up,
and to say that you are funny would be like saying that the night sky is black,
Cause the night sky is filled with stars and comets and planets that no one has seen yet,
And i want to look at you,
Lying down on my front lawn,
I'll try to take you all in at once, but you just go on and on and on


all photo creds go to maria ziesche

France in the spring time
