Wiser


I look back at words I wrote when I was wiser,
and now they offer some small comfort to this miser
who is me, the one, the same, who was the writer
who wrote words of comfort to me, who was wiser.


"I'm not young enough to know everything,"
experiences cheat us out of pure analogy.
The fairy tales don't fit with what remains of our beliefs,
and so we find ourselves in search of a new true mythology.




















  • vintage sunglasses
  • thrifted boots
  • thigh highs... I want to say by Leg Avenue? But I bought them on ebay.
  • dress from Ross or Marshalls or TJ Maxx or something.
  • Lipstick is Revlon something or other I think.
  • Goddamn. I give you NO USEFUL INFORMATION. 
Also, the above captions are song lyrics I wrote on the plane from Dallas to Los Angeles last weekend.

ALL the love,

Rockabilly Pinup

Hello Lovelies.
This is possibly the one time in the last month in Europe that I actually put effort and fun into what I wore, but I never wore it out farther than the end of the hall--the day was rainy and I had work to do. :[
Still. I loved the pictures, so here you go:

Yours as always,
Lovely Wednesday <3

**** ****ing Everything

I.
Am back in the states.

...and, as wonderful and fantastic and beautiful and thrilling and everything as my three months in Europe were (and also everything ever), my last few days there I was just like...

meh. i am so done. 
Done with what?
i don't know. just done. 

...and I felt bad for feeling that way, because it's like 
HELLO, YOU'RE IN ****ING EUROPE, GET UP AND ENJOY YOURSELF, 
but my body and chronic dream state were just like 
noooooooo........ sleeeeeeepppppppp.........


...and that's that.

So I'll give you some pictures of Europe sometime later, but right now I just want to post some pictures of things that inspire me because I miss fashion precisely a shit-ton.

I had the brilliant idea to pack only black for Europe so that everything would match, I'd be less likely to be mugged, no one would notice if I wore the same pieces over and over... basically, to blend in and pack light. It worked--even in creepy late-night Amsterdam no one bothered me as I traversed bits of sketchy Europe alone (I practiced my passive-intimidation face in the mirror quite a lot) (that's a blatant fabrication, but I did practice it while I walked around Europe alone). The side effect of this brilliant packing decision was that while I managed to enjoy fashion for about a week and a half and even took a couple pictures of what I wore, I soon slipped right into the
There's no POINT in taking pictures of what I'm wearing, it's the SAME ****ING PAIR OF JEANS AND THE SAME THREE ****ING TSHIRTS AND THE SAME LEATHER JACKET AND THE SAME BOOTS EVERY ****ING DAY
phase.


If you can't tell, I've been fashionably frustrated. Right now I'm in Texas, living off of a wardrobe for 6 degrees Celsius Europe in 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit weather, which basically means I'm wearing as little as possible without risking arrest. So. No pictures of me for now.

Inspiration. Yes.

Also, this is totally going to be what the more-refined of us would call something more refined than a shit-ton but what I will still call a shit-ton of pictures. Prepare thyself.

If there's no caption, it means I have no clue in hell where it's from other than the general expanse of the internets.
