Magazine Butterfly

do you ever think about the magazine growth that you've done?

when you go from those pre-teen pop magazines,
like girl talk?
with the cover that looks like a collage of celeb faces
and rainbow goodness?

to the more mature (but obliviously bubbly) teen magazines,
like Seventeen
that keep you cheery and optimistic in the most
colorful, yet mature way possible?

then you go to magazines like NYLON,
and other magazines
which loosens the notches on its belt
when it comes to language, censorship,
and all out culture.

just looking though all of those magazines now,
makes me realize how much growing you do as an adolescent

kinda like the feeling you have
when you outgrow a pair of bejeweled jeans,
get a more mature boot cut pair,
then grew out of their plainness and cut them into shorts
and added studs.

just look through a store's magazine rack,
look at that overly-done pop magazine.
the subjects?
the quizzes?
the, "how-to-apply-lipgloss" column?

don't you feel that your magazine stages are like a diary?

Cracked Nails Can Be Pretty, Too


thanks again, NYLON.
for hooking me up, once again
to a cool find!

see the top of that OPI polish?
that is the affect this lacquer will leave on your nails.
to me? it reminds me of cracked glass
or lightening!

does it not?
i've googled many cool ways to wear it, too.
won't be able to start experimenting until January,
unfortunately.
boo hoo

UGH

so i should be studying, but instead i'm pissed.
let's just say i'm nothing like my mom
and it's an issue, apparently.

anyway, got posts up on my deviantART site:

and i found a blogger who is an amazing fashionista
and a DYI-er
she's amazing:

in other news, i can't think straight because i'm so pissed
i'll have to get back to you on whatever
i was going to say.

i need to focus on studies anyway..
peace.

Wildfox Couture

wildfox couture .


(and yes that is fire head Nicole from ANTM) 



love their look and the simple photography used.
nothing glamourous,
and they show fashion doesn't have to be.

i'd totally support them by buying a top or two,
except a t-shirt is about $60.
nothanks.
