bruise violet
















Comme des Garcons Fall 07, Juliet's room in Romeo + Juliet, my Hole shrine, Chanel Fall 09, unknown, the Virgin Suicides, Drew Barrymore, barbies by unknown, CdG Fall 07, Marcia Brady, Claire Danes as Juliet in Romeo + Juliet, Ed Ruscha, self-portrait I took for the new issue of POP (more on that later), But I'm a Cheerleader!, someone else's Hole shrine (source unknown), and CdG Fall 07. The CdG collection was supposed to be a girl's journey or something, so the placements on the dress went from bows and tiny dresses to stuffed gloves on the chest and hips with other kinds of lumps in between.

    I just watched Romeo + Juliet on Netflix a few weeks ago. So excited that someone over 10 years younger than me is into it too. I LOOOOVEEEEDD that movie when it came out (still do) I had like every single R + J memorabilia all over my room. And I was obsessed with Leo, as was the rest of the female population my age. I saw it the day the movie came out!

    The bubble photo is so nice! I was using a bubble wand with some kids a while ago, and we took some pictures. But then looking back at the photos, you can’t see the bubbles, so it just looks like we’re performing some sort of weird free-form dance :-)

    The self-portrait is great! The way you’re in the foreground, with the corner of the room in the background, and then all of the shapes and textures - creates a real 3D feel. And then there’s the contrast between the intensity of your gaze and the softness and pastel colourness (Go away spell-checker!!!) of everything else.
