I often think that I am completely head-over-heels in love with love, and it's not like I have some ficticious dream man pictured in my head...but I really do fall in love with a boy, that doesn't exist, all the time-- I literally fall in love with nothing, yet I fall in love. I know, I know it's super weird. I think it must be the romantic in me that expresses itself with its own hybrid version of butterflies. I make my own, and I make them fly whenever I want..it's kinda nice, but at the same time they offer stiff competition. Very stiff.

You have to admit
I'm sure there'd be a market for couture tombstones. We live in that kind of world.
Glitz and Gams
I believe these are the sequined Nicole Miller Collection leggings.
I lust them.
Very much so.
Today Must Be A Day For Angels
Michael Jackson spent 50 years developing a legacy that would outlive him. And although we grieve his death today, it is truly a birth; of the profound legacy that is now left behind to penetrate generations to come as well as remain imprinted in our ears, hearts, minds, souls...
all that Michael worked for has finally come to full circle.
Michael Jackson will continue to inspire
and so
we must truly make a toast to
"The King of Pop"
“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”
Michael Joseph Jackson

"God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met. "

Tim Burton's "Wonderland"
Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) took power. "The creatures are ready to revolt and waiting for Alice to help them," says Zanuck. Bonham Carter has a digitally enhanced swelled head to play the domineering crimson ruler, who likes nothing better than to scream "Off with their heads!" The White Queen (Anne Hathaway), who was overthrown by her sister, "is beautiful but over the top. She doesn't walk. She floats. She's very eccentric," Zanuck says. Johnny Depp concocts another memorably trippy character as the Mad Hatter.
You might have gone down the rabbit hole before. But never with a guide quite as attuned to the fantastic as Tim Burton.
Those who have grown curiouser and curiouser about what the offbeat reinventor of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory might conjure up in his version of Alice in Wonderland can feast their eyes on this array of concept art and publicity images, due to hang in movie theaters this week to promote the March 5, 2010, release.
I mean, how excited is everyone to go see this? I cannot wait for the insane imagery, vibrant colors, and out of this world characters. Wonderland will for sure be an opening night must see!

Congratulations Antoinette & Adam
Love has no perfect appearance.
It is not punctual, and sometimes unneeded.
It can creep up on you when you least expect it
And completely shake you to your core.
Love is not what you expect it to be or who you expect it to be with
That's what's magical about it.
The two most unlikely people who find love together
Are the most beautiful partnership.
Never have I seen two bond together more than you,
Never have I seen the beauty in another the way you see beauty in him.
He is not perfect and neither are you,
But the two of you are the most spectacular thing.
I hope you hold him and cherish him,
And still get butterflies every time he smiles at you.
The two of you, give me hope,
That there is still someone out there for me, that will make me weak in the knees.
I wish the two of you a long and happy life together.
Because as long as you have each other you will never need anything else.
-Ariana
Bathroom
The only place a woman can go to be alone
is the bathroom.
A woman would like to be wrapped in strong arms
when she cries, without having to explain,
or huddle on the couch wrapped in a blanket and a cat.
But all over America, women crouch instead
on a white, cold monument to wasting water.
We lean against a chilled tile wall,
stare at ourselves in an icy mirror,
flush the toilet to cover howls and curses,
brush our teeth twice to cover the taste of anger.
We lock the door, fill the tub with hot bubbles,
take a long time shaving our legs and armpits,
study the way waves break over bulging stomachs.
We scour the sink and rearrange the bottles under it,
refold towels, throw away old prescriptions,
count bandaids and bottles of suntan lotion.
We turn out the lights, stare into candle flames,
light incense, try to pretend we’ve taken our troubles
to a glowing temple, placed them in the lap
of a smiling golden Goddess.
Outside, men who wouldn't know what to do
if a woman curled up in bed and cried
can relax before bloodless images on TV
and think, "She's only in the bathroom
doing some woman's thing."
Behind a locked door, a woman
spins the empty toilet paper roll
like a Tibetan prayer wheel,
chanting "Help me, help me, help me."

Debating
Lately I've been wondering if pants are overrated and have been debating whether or not I should do this. I love the idea of wearing something similar to the image above. I wore hot shorts on my birthday which is practically the same thing as not wearing pants. Lady Gaga did it...so if I do it, don't look so surprised.
Well, well, it seems like its time to put everyone up on game. The handsome fella by the name of JD Elquist is not only a sweetheart, friend, and extremely stylish man, but also a blogger. It's called the Shades of Great.
"In this day when “black and white” no longer exist, a man can live, speak, and feel free to be exactly who he desires. Society requires a certain shade of grey to go from a good to a great man, and at the heart of that great man – a gentleman. A gentleman knows that fashion is merely one facet. Fashion creates style, and it is style we are aiming for. Though, it is through education and etiquette, which one’s path is laid, and walking diligently along that path he gains personal growth. Today’s gentleman understands that progress must never cease. And it is the embodiment of these principles that makes for the modern gentleman incarnate. Shades of Great exists to instill confidence in your personal style – in dress and in life. So, consider this our Gentleman’s agreement, your hand to mine, you have my word."
There aren't many men out there that know how to dress, but if I could point them in the right direction, I'd point them towards JD.
