Monsters

My monster series: zombie, witch,  vampire, ghost. It was taken around Halloween, but I'm still into it even after. I like having Halloween themes all year round; it's never too late. Lately I really like Dia de los Muertos themed stuff..I have like this mexican skull banner hanging in my room.

Please listen to "Frost" by SALEM.

Wow this post was super insightful..good thing most of you don't even read the post, just look at the pictures. If you do, well then thank you.

Censorship

Seriously? It has come to this?

Why does the school board think that by blocking every website that it'll make us use the computers for school work? Pshh. Nice try guys. You don't block twitter, which is single handedly destroying the English language, but you block Tumblr (which was really helpful in art class..) THEN you cut off my blog. Not impressed.

Blocking other websites will still never make me go to http://www.statcan.gc.ca/ Sorry.

Vids

Soothe your soul with some sensual seduction from Snoop doggy dog. That's all.

... I need to include at least 250 characters in eer' post I do, otherwise I immediately sell out and might as well be using tumblr (no offense). I've been hearing some great music lately like I said before, but it's been taken to the next level by some pretty awesome music vids. I feel like, within the 4 I've chosen, they progressively get weirder and more freaky-in-a-good-way.

1. The xx- VCR: sweet minimalist video- note: the kids in the vid are not  The xx. | 2. The Knife- Heartbeats : I really like both of Karen Anderson's groups (other one is Fever Ray). This song is super catchy.

3. Snoop Dogg- Sensual Seduction: I like his use of the retro auto-tune very much. | 4. Wavves- Post Acid: This is the best music video, not ever, just really good. The Wavves boys possess supreme acting abilities.

41 days till Christmas y'all.

**NOTE** playing all videos at once is totally nuts. Thanks Cara.

Lucky Shirt?

[Wear it hanging from a doorframe, wear in a park in Toronto..]

It's like in the Grudge when Sarah Michelle Gellar is looking through the pictures and realizing, to her horror, that the creepy zombie girl is in the background of every family photo..except this time it's we wearing THAT Nirvana shirt. It's like I subconsciously predict when I'm going to have my picture taken so that I can wear my most favorite t-shirt evaar! It's soft and oversized and perfectly worn in..plus it has Nirvana's purgatory design on it. Lotsa fun times in THAT Nirvana shirt. But seriously, that's not the only shirt I own, it's just that I'm wearing it in every single picture. Just sayin'.

[Wear it under a play structure, wear it while dying Gabby's hair with Kool-Aid..so verstile!]

To emphasize my love for that shirt, I'll throw in a Harry Potter reference (I just bought tickets!!) : If I were Voldemort and had to choose just one Horcrux, it would be fo sho' that shirt.
PS- Aren't you guys excited to see the dramz unfold between Ron & Harry?

Vinyl

Vinyl I've been listening to:

  • Wavves- King of the Beach
  • Jonsi- Go
  • MGMT- Congratulations
  • Sugarcubes- Birthday single

For me, music is the ultimate source of inspiration- not fashion editorials nor condescending words of wisdom..that said, I have a few cool photos that I love I've been saving for nothing in particular, but there's no time like the present:

    Surrounding ones' self with album artwork is most inspiring.

    Rocky horror-esque lips are sweet. Guess what?! I'm not a Rocky Horror virgin anymore..

    This guy is awesome. I would credit him if I could remember what this is from.

    The colors in these photos are weirdly similar..I wanna blend them all together and form an insanely cool house.

     

    Happy November!
