that's so 70s

I love the look of extraneously long, light hair. I think it's absolutely perfect.

Nothing much to say as of late. I've basically just been diggin' 70s fashion and vibes lately; all the golden and sunset hues are kind of fueling my life and inspiration for art and aesthetics right now. Some 70s fashion is really bad, but other 70s fashion is absolutely perfect and incredible. 70s photography is also something I deeply enjoy and love with a burning passion. The 60s and 70s were really great time periods - ignoring the oppressions - because they were time periods of change and personal growth and discovery. It was all about the individual and living for one's self rather than trying to plan out a career path that would provide you with the biggest income. I like that. I watched this documentary yesterday called craigslist joe and it was kind of incredible and so inspiring and moving. It got be really excited about life and my future, and the opportunities I will have to explore later on. 

I've also been trying to be more creative in my journals and diaries. I usually just use them to vent and rant about things, but I want to collage and draw in them more and make each page beautiful and special. Minna's and Tavi's journal(s) really inspire me, and so do a lot of the submissions I receive from Teenage Diary.

poison ivy

*this photo isn't from "Poison Ivy," but it's really pretty and is an accurate representation of the aesthetic i wish encompassed my life daily. drew's hair is the prettiest shade of pink ever, and the flowers are so pretty and this picture is just so pretty and perfect. her chipped nail polish also adds a special down-to-earth feel other than the fact that she is literally down to the earth. i just love this photo, i think it's one of the prettiest i've ever seen.

i just finished watching Poison Ivy. It was my first time seeing the movie. I loved every minute of it. It was so perfect and tragic. I felt the characters were lost and delirious, searching for home and belonging in a world tangled with weeds. Some may say Ivy was one of these weeds, but I disagree. You could see how pure she was, how genuine and down to earth. Perhaps her moments of depth and connection were merely snippets of her manipulative nature, but to me she was hopelessly lost - left blinded in a world unfamiliar to her. There is this one line where Ivy says something like, "My mom was dead long before she died." And to me, (SPOILER ALERT), Ivy was dead long before her body left the earth. It seemed the entire movie was documenting the slow decline of her death and demise.
