Sweet Dream or Beautiful Nightmare

2010-02-23T14:08:00.011-05:00

Last night I dreamt that I was watching a movie with my sister, some friends, a former high school administrator of mine and you know, John McCain and his wife, Cindy. Although I'm fully aware that Cindy McCain, along with their daughter, Meghan are supporters of the Gay Rights as they both posed for the NOH8 Campaign.

In the dream, unprompted, John McCain started to give his views on several political subjects -- one of them clearly being Gay Marriage to which I exploded calling him a "Motherf*cker" and every other name in the book. John peaced out of the dream shortly after that and Cindy told me that I had changed her life. So that was pretty awesome.

The NOH8 campaign is one of the most awesome things to ever come out of California and I invite you all to check out all the celebs and other people who realize the overturn of Prop 8 (and all the other illegal marriage discrimination amendments) is wrong.

Here are some of my favorites below:

A new thing I'm going to try and do (nearly) every day will be posting a picture of the love of my life. I have accumilated hundreds of photos of my favorite model so I'll be sharing one with you guys every day.

Ch-ch-check it out.

Chicago, Chicago!

2010-02-12T17:07:00.003-05:00

There really isn't any city like Chicago. It's something that can be said of almost any big city, but Chicago is a perfect city for right now. A nearly booming economy, after living here only two weeks, I've gotten several interviews and already landed a public relations internship with the Lakeshore Theater, a comedy club, that this weekend has Sandra Bernhard doing four shows. I can't wait for the unique experience of living and working in a city full of so much laughter!

My blog has been on hiatus for a while now, and I feel like I've putting my writing on the back shelf. Well no more of that. I'm in a city full of creativity and beauty that I'm constantly being inspired by and I can't continue to live without this outlet. I will be starting my GenderF-ck blog up again as well. (Sandra Bernhard will make a unique entry to that blog, I dare say.)

Hopefully all my adoring fans will come running back to me with open arms. Well let's just wait and see.

God Save McQueen

2010-02-11T15:11:00.002-05:00

Today the world lost one of its greatest artist. Alexander McQueen was an international sensation. A designer whose creativity and perception of beauty was unmatched. His Spring 2010 collection received rave reviews and changed the way we will all think about fashion forever. I feel blessed that such a man could even have an inspiration on me. We were lucky to know your work, Alexander, though I wish we had gotten to see what more you had to offer.

McQueen, you will be missed.

You can be my baby...

Just an inspiration post.

You're beautiful, it's true.

"I'm extremely fond of animals, especially wild ones. Normally, you see a small brown fox or a hedgehog where I live, so I'd like to travel somewhere with unique wild animals in the cities. I am quiet and very shy, hate walking up to people. And it's hard for me to make new friends. I like going out at night and having fun in the city centre; nights are the best time to enjoy yourself!

"If you are kind, and romantic…"

You really have to wonder where these things come from.

Ernest Hemingway seemed to be a man of very few words, at least out loud. The quote above I cherish and have it on a beautiful pen box my aunt gave me for Christmas last year.

However, while I think the quote was a little more literal for Hemingway, I take it to mean that a writer must always write. You can get a vivid description of Hemingway in Lillian Ross's profile on Hemingway. You understand he was a man like no other.

I've taken somewhat of a hiatus from writing over the past year, being busy with school and editing for the Big Green, but I've never stopped telling stories. I'm a born story teller, everything from my trek across the British Isles to my high school experiences to my day-to-day life, there's almost nothing that I cannot create a laughable story from.

This blog will be the story of my life, stories some have heard a thousand times, others may have never heard.

I'm a Dior fanatic. I go crazy for anything Galliano. My eye always goes straight to Dior from the 80s and 90s when shopping vintage, its unstoppable. That's why this beautiful jewelry has got me floating on air. It's called the Kings & Queens’ collection by Victoire de Castellane. (Thanks Susie.)

Easily one of the scariest and greatest characters of the Harry Potter films, Bellatrix Lestrange (played by Helena Bonham Carter) will graduate to a much more significant character in The Half Blood Prince after her crucial role in the plot of the last movie.

I cannot wait for more.

Oh sinful, sinful me.

Coming off of a serious lack of sleep for several days, I felt an outlet was needed for my energy, creativity and thoughts. As a writer, I have been quite bored this summer. I've graduated. And I'm not quite sure what the next step is. However, this blog will be a journey to me finding out where I'm going, how I'm going to get there and maybe will even help me out along the way.

First, I leave you with Panna II (New York, NY) "Where Chili-Pepper Lights Meets Christmas-Tree Lights"

Also, Harry Potter tonight.
